Zongman: Beginning with the Killer Queen

Under the cold moonlight, the lifeless steel building seemed to be covered with a veil.

But this hazy light only makes the shadows have different shades, making the darkness in the distance appear more penetrating.

Among the floating shadows, even the roar of the wind seemed to come from the ground.

Steele subconsciously tightened his windbreaker and grunted.

"We're almost close to the core area... Let's stop here."

After entering the territory of Blue Dream Company, he acted separately from Kanzaki Kaori.

In this kind of hostage retrieval battle, his physical fitness is completely unable to keep up with the saint Kanzaki Kaori, and acting together will only slow down the other party's speed.

Furthermore, considering the powerful destructive power of the magic he is good at, acting alone allows Steele to have no worries.

So, on the premise that it will be discovered no matter what.

It was up to him to create a commotion and attract attention, and Kanzaki Kaori's strategy of taking the opportunity to find Index was temporarily decided.

"Fire..."

Steele threw away the still warm cigarette butt in his hand, and then waved his arms casually.

The next moment, scorching flames jumped up around him, overflowing, and while rolling, turned into a flaming sword held in his hand.

"Next, just make a little noise and that's it..."

Although he didn't really want to attack Blue Dream, Steele did not enter the building where important information might be stored.

But this level of commotion was enough to attract the attention of the surrounding people.

Thinking of this, Steele directly raised the flame sword in his hand, chanting and waving it.

The flaming sword light tore apart the night one after another and shot out.

However--

"Beep, attack consciousness has been detected. An unauthorized intruder appeared in the second area. It is judged that he has level one strength. Please provide support immediately."

Almost at the same time, a wave-like wind and wave swept over at the same time.

In the dark night, the terrifying iron bird passed through the cold night wind and extinguished all the escaping flames in an instant.

Then, they turned their heads in unison and looked at Steele, who was stunned.

"There is no barrier, but the reaction is so fast?"

Steele suddenly turned around and looked at the mechanical ball that appeared next to him at some point, and his expression changed.

It wasn't that he was worried about encountering an enemy, but that the mission to create a ruckus was over before it even began.

Looking at the embers that were extinguished before they spread, Steele frowned slightly.

If a group of bandits break into the palace and wantonly burn, kill, and loot, the situation will be confused. Most of the active forces will rush to the place being attacked to support them.

But if a thief breaks in and is found, all areas will be cordoned off and sealed off while being guarded.

Obviously, if the two weird iron birds in front of them cannot be quickly dealt with, more pressure will be concentrated on Kanzaki Kaori who rushes inside, causing unforeseen deviations in the original plan.

So Steele changed tactics.

"In that case, while turning this place into a sea of ​​fire, I will blow up both of you together!"

He threw the flaming sword in his hand without hesitation, turning it into a red lotus-like barrier blocking his sight.

But the two iron birds only turned their bodies slightly sideways, and easily used their wings to tear apart the fire curtain that could easily turn humans into charcoal in an instant.

They opened their huge mouths and pounced on Steele, as if they wanted to capture him alive.

But even so, Steele's feet still seemed to be stuck to the floor, motionless.

"Huhuhu..."

Countless cards like white snow flew out from his sleeves, intertwining with each other and making strange sounds.

The next moment, azure shimmers of light lit up one after another like fireflies in the forest at night. In just the blink of an eye, they spread all over the entire road.

——What is emitting light is the runes engraved on the card.

Runes.

They are echoing Stiyl's will, emitting mysterious and huge energy fluctuations.

"Appear, gnaw at me and serve me! - The King of Witch Hunters!"

In an instant, the card in front of Steele suddenly expanded, like a volcano erupting, splashing red color in the air.

The flames burned and danced wildly, blending together among the electric lights and flints, contracting like a beating heart.

Violent air waves spread, and accompanied by a shrill howl, the huge flame giant suddenly stood in front of Steele, and struck two heavy blows with one hand in each hand, severely beating the charging iron bird. Fall backwards.

"Not fighting an unprepared battle is one of my habits as a magician."

Steele showed a cold smile and looked at the two iron birds that were pinned to the ground by the rushing Fire Giant with both hands.

When he entered the street, he deliberately slowed down and moved forward while arranging the rune cards.

Although this was a strategy made out of fear and caution in his heart because he was frightened by the legend told by Tsuchimikado Motoharu that he would be reborn if caught.

But judging from the results, this fear does bring value.

Steele slowly stood up and looked at his strongest trump card.

Hunt the Witch King.

A giant composed of a huge flaming sphere with a temperature exceeding 3,000 degrees Celsius.

As long as conditions permit, it can effortlessly slaughter modern legions in a short period of time and turn a solid fortress into a sea of ​​fire.

In fact, this is what it is doing now.

Even if it stands still, the red light gushing out from the flame giant has already cut the surrounding steel and then melted the debris.

The flame giant roared like a dragon, flowing the dazzling red along the spider-web-like gully under its body.

Although the only fire source is the surrounding green belt, in front of this unextinguishable monster, the red wave still rushed out like a waterfall, turning everything nearby into a crack like wasteland.

"At this level, it's almost done."

Stiyl looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction, and glanced at the newly appeared iron bird above the illuminated night sky with his peripheral vision, and a gleam of brilliance flashed in his eyes.

Such a movement is probably not only the territory of Blue Dream Company, but even Academy City is probably going to react.

But next, we can't continue to entangle like this. The big sister is probably done, so we have to meet up quickly and support her.

"Hunting Witch King, get rid of these two pieces of scrap metal."

Lighting another cigarette, Stiyl waved his hand coolly, signaling his familiar to quickly get rid of the two iron birds under him, so that he could run away quickly.

"Ka Ka Ka Ka!!!"

Hearing the master's order, the fire giant roared wildly again.

Then, the creepy cracking sound was heard.

However, it did not come from the iron bird under the fire giant, but from the arm it was clamping.

The crack looked very slender at first, but as the force continued, the crack was extending at a speed visible to the naked eye while the lightning-like red light suddenly appeared, making the huge black and red arm look as fragile as a glued vase.

"How is it possible?"

Stiyl's face, which was originally sinister, became more and more gloomy.

The Hunting Witch King is a fire monster with a physical body. With the blessing of its huge body, the pure physical attack alone has a very terrifying force.

What's more, it is a monster that maintains a temperature of more than 3,000 degrees Celsius at all times.

Although this number may not seem impressive, in fact, in the face of such a continuous temperature, it is enough to vaporize most of the matter on the planet.

In other worlds, even the high-temperature monsters fighting against the super-ancient light giants have a body temperature of this level.

Even if it is a special mechanical beast, it can only resist for a while at most, and the metal of the shell will slowly be eroded, and finally the core will be directly melted.

But in front of Stiyl, the fire giant's hands suddenly froze when they reached into the metal shell of the iron bird and touched the core.

With its temperature, it seems that it cannot interfere with the core in the slightest.

No, when it touched the core, its power was decomposed instead!

"The power is detected to be more than one level, the restriction is lifted, and the voltage blocker is activated."

Staring at this scene, even if it is not affected by the high temperature, Stiyl can't help but sweat on his forehead.

At the same time as the cold mechanical sound rang out, the iron bird suppressed by the fire giant was using strange light to suppress the enemy bit by bit!

Judging from the cracks on the fire giant, it was the one that was suppressing the enemy that would collapse in a while.

"Has the technology on the technology side advanced to this extent?"

Stiyl frowned hard and whispered.

He was not worried that the breaking of the trump card would affect his safety, but these two iron birds, which were obviously mass-produced, caused him to be more apprehensive.

"No, if such a weapon could be popularized, Academy City would probably have been unable to suppress its ambitions long ago. It should be a product that is difficult to copy or obtained by chance and in limited quantities..."

Originally, Stiyl, who was just talking to himself, had never thought of getting an answer.

——But the answer appeared.

"Isn't this a matter of course?"

A strange and magnetic voice, with a malicious and pleasant tone, suddenly sounded behind his ear.

The expression on Stiyl's face suddenly froze, and he turned his neck stiffly, looking at the smiling boy with black hair and red eyes behind him.

When did he appear, and why didn't he notice it at all?

"After all, I am the only one on the production line. Although I can use the existing metal to produce unimportant parts on a large scale, the real core still needs to be rubbed by me."

But the boy didn't want to pay attention to him at all, and walked calmly to the huge flame giant and the iron bird under it, as if he didn't care about the high temperature that was enough to melt gold and iron.

"I'm not here to screw in the Academy City. Although I made a little bit with patience, it's just enough."

"Although the core can stimulate a certain magnetic field force, when the order is to capture alive, facing the real strong, these sub-flies are often slow, and thus cannot exert their true strength. Do you want to lift the restrictions?"

"Well, but in this way, the rebirth pool will be vacant in the future, and the materials for the experiment will need to be found elsewhere..."

He looked at the suppressed iron bird, as if complaining to a good friend, and spoke familiarly.

"Who are you?" For the first time, a serious expression appeared on Stiyl's face.

"The leader of Blue Dream Company, Roland."

Roland turned his head and looked at Steele with some dissatisfaction.

"Once the Yafei is damaged, those kids will complain to me again. But I have no resistance to the pillow wind. I will be the one who has to work hard to rub my core."

"So, a thief who broke into someone else's house without permission, how are you going to compensate me for my losses?"

"Hmph..." Steele seemed to have calmed down, "Such a confident attitude, which means you are definitely sure that you can solve me?"

"In this case, you should prove it to me first and then talk about compensation!"

Steele waved his hands, and then, scorching red eyes spread out overwhelmingly.

The body of the witch-hunting king continued to expand, and the light of the flames shot straight into the sky, as if he was about to self-destruct.

"Fortis931, here's why I'm the strongest."

Without hesitation, he read out the magical name that declared a deadly battle.

Although I don’t know how Roland appeared, and I don’t know if he has any chance of winning.

But since he could no longer do good, he had to complete the mission until Kanzaki Kaori retrieved Index.

Steele's eyes were fixed on Roland, his back was slightly arched, and all the nerves in his body felt an annoying tingling due to the massive transformation of magic power.

But now, this pain can be converted into his anger.

"Don't be too arrogant!"

He roared angrily, letting the body of the Witch Hunting King expand and move.

Although judging from the fact that the other party has quietly approached me just now, it may be a more rational choice to keep distance.

But Steele, who has experienced countless battles, knows that when the enemy is unknown, it is better to do everything he can than to make random guesses.

Most of his strength relies on hunting the Witch King, and can even be said to be the opponent's pendant.

It would be a stupid move to leave the opponent's protective range without authorization.

"boom--"

The wandering red flames suddenly turned into a storm, gathering like a tide.

The bright flames were like huge waves rising from the ground, bursting out with the momentum to completely overwhelm everything around them.

But the one who bore the brunt was not the two suppressed iron birds, but Roland, who was attacked by the flame giant with the same momentum of death before the collapse.

The other party looked back calmly, as if he hadn't realized what happened, and even took a breath.

From Steele's perspective, he could see the surging line of fire directly entering the opponent's mouth.

"Uh-huh?!"

Just when Steele was about to sneer, his body suddenly shook, and his expression froze on his face halfway through.

His eyes widened as he looked at Roland, who swallowed all the remaining flames in his mouth like a long siphon sucking water, and his breathing suddenly stagnated.

"If it would be arrogant to underestimate such a weak flame, then I am simply made of arrogance itself. However, although the temperature is a bit lower, it is just right for the entrance."

Roland looked at Mars after the collapse of the Witch Hunting King with unfinished thoughts, chuckled, and exhaled thick white smoke.

The condensed smoke floated freely with the young man's breathing. When it touched the remaining metal around him, it would leave small pits as if corroded by strong acid, proving that they were not just empty. It has its appearance.

Steele looked at this scene in astonishment and took a few steps back in horror.

Damn it...humans have evolved behind my back?
