Lesson 40: Sinking Under the Water

□ [Brilliant Cavalry] Ray Sterling

The bounding whale junction was an odd space.

As soon as I entered, I could no longer see the city of Calcellatan, which until then had been visible. I guess it was a long way off by entering the juncture and widening the distance.

I'm supposed to keep accelerating with a vertical free fall from the top.

But I don't feel the wind because there is no air around me - I use the barrier of compressed air as wind protection, but I don't feel any resistance over it - and I don't feel the speed because there is nothing around me that serves as a reference point for distance alone.

I'm just falling through a sky that doesn't even have clouds - but I don't even know if I can say it's strictly sky because there's no air.

I've fallen from the sky three times before.

For the first time, on a young day, I took my sister's truck and skydived into the South American jungle.

The second time I logged into Dendro for the first time, Chesha was allowed to fall to the King's Capital.

The third time, the other day, it plummeted to escape without reaching [monochrome].

Compared to them, this fall is terribly quiet.

It just falls through a silent space.

It's like sinking into the ocean floor instead of falling into the sky.

The light that shines from heaven is also farther away, continuing just an endless invisible descent.

But there's only one thing I can see.

"I'll be back! Laser!! '

Under my eyes... dozens of laser light strips are emitted from a distance that I still can't even see.

Most of them are sucked by the [black wrap] wrapped around the front of the silver, but some lasers with different firing points plunder my body.

Boulders, thick anti-aircraft defense.

Perhaps the whales also know that falling from above is their own fault.

Because if you get even heavy objects out of the item box directly above him, the same thing can happen to him as that fin drop.

Lasers are also meant to prevent it. If you change orbit somewhat with the laser, it deviates heavily during the fall and does not hit the whale, causing enormous damage on the ground.

Considering when it came off, I can't use that hand either. Rather, given my distance, it would be rarer to hit it.

But not if we and Silver fall.

The laser can be sucked with [black entanglement]. Even if the trajectory changes slightly or the guy moves, the trajectory modification is advantageous if it's silver.

"Besides, this laser is supposed to give us his location."

"Oh."

The laser is a straight line, so there are always whales in the direction they flew.

You just have to go there and fall.

In fact, it looks like a very small dot, but the whale is beginning to appear.

But we can't attack this one yet.

If Shining Dispair is the skill I think it is, you can never shoot it from above, you can't shoot it.

We need to visualize him and target him horizontally, or from below, on top of that.

"But... do you have it?

"We just have to let it happen."

Laser measures by [black wrap] protect silver with "wind hooves" as a top priority in order to accommodate vacuum conditions.

Inevitably, [Black Wrap] can't protect my body just for turning it over there.

Some of them are prevented by black circle shields, but some of them plunder my body - some lasers in orbit that I'm going to decide on.

In addition, even if it is "light absorption" of [black entanglement sleeve], it cannot breathe heat. A lot of the lasers are heating me and Silver little by little. [Burns] and [burns] are already starting to occur on my skin.

But we're now about a third of the way to him.

There is no way out, there is no other way but to keep falling in prayer that it will not hit the steeple.

"Huh!"

"Ray!? Kuh, we're getting more orbits we can't protect......!

As we approached the whale, the width appeared at the incidence angle of the laser.

Not like this...... no, not yet!

"Keep going, we'll even reach the whales!

Azrite must still be fighting a helical crab downstairs.

Then where is the reason I give up...!

…… Ray, something's coming from up there!! '

"Up!?"

Whales are downstairs, then why from above...!

Think about it that way, backwards - looking up,

"That's...!

What I saw - countless wooden dolls with their arms spread like wings.

That's a big deal, it's just falling straight.

"Dr. Mario's... doll!

Yes, the same doll that Dr. Mario was on, countless drops.

Dolls don't fall free, do they fall while accelerating on their own, one before another.

And - the whale laser pierces the doll ahead of me, not me.

But even if he gets shot out and burns out... the next doll won't stop coming forward.

One after the other, no matter how many dozen scattered, you're out in front of me and you're getting lasers instead of me.

"This is..."

"Are you making your way?

Road. Yes, that was the right way.

Countless dolls shield themselves and lead me to the whale... Breakthrough.

"Mario, Doctor"

I have a good eye for the head of the doll that's protecting me, even though it burns out.

At that moment, I thought I heard it.

- Proceed.

In a vacuum world, dolls are silent.

But that guy was pushing my back enough to tell me.

If so - the rest is only often.

"Let's go! Nemesis! Silver!!"

"Whatever!"

■ [Vaster]

- Approaching Flying Body, 158

[Vaster], who excelled in his ability to defeat the enemy, also knew exactly how many enemies were approaching him.

Intercept all of that by laser shooting it out of something close to you in turn.

I also understand that there are two types of enemies in the process

Wooden enemies, who make up the majority, can be destroyed with a laser blow.

And the very faint “incarnate” reaction of the enemy continues to absorb the laser and fall.

[Vaster] 's artificial intelligence thinks as he keeps releasing lasers at them as they plummet down to himself.

- Move the hull and evade the enemy

- Denial. Any further movement will interfere with the "Mutual Repair Function" with [Accra]

always [Vaster] located just above [Acra], but for a reason.

It is a system of "Mutual Complementary Repair Functions" installed by both [Acra] and [Vaster] aircraft.

This system is not as convenient as "keep repairing each other wherever you are" …

An effective distance of 300,000 meters (...) is set.

Yes, the limit of the effective distance is out of the critical range of the junction with the use of Spatial Dilution.

If we go any further, the restoration will not be possible.

Not to mention that the current [Acra] loses the majority of its legs and equals no mobility. As a result, [Vaster] is also unable to move.

Most importantly, [Acra] being attacked by [Alter] is no longer making sense at this time.

But now the problem is [Vaster].

[Vaster] is forced to make a choice.

Drop the repair feature to avoid falling enemies, or….

- Enemy, measurement

- Mass spectrometry

[Vaster] 's sensors measure data that had not been measured until then.

And I can conclude.

“Incarnate” and dolls, both much lighter than their own falling fins (...), and.

Even if it collides, the damage to [Vaster] is minor and can be repaired immediately.

[Vaster] therefore decides that the enemy's aim is not a mass attack that hits itself, but some other means of attack.

- Explosive reactions, blasting system magic reactions, none

That's not the kind of special attack with a bomb - that is, a melee attack on board [Vaster], or an attack from close to mid-range,

- Implement countermeasures

It crushed me.

□ [Brilliant Cavalry] Ray Sterling

Push the breakthrough made by Dr. Mario into a straight line with a whale on his face.

The laser flash that intercepts us doesn't reach us by being sucked into the doll or by the [Black Wrap].

That's how we continue to fall accelerating in a heartbreak,

"Forty thousand meters left!

We're one step closer to the whale.

At the same time, let the silver brake slightly by air.

As it is, I pass him in an instant, and I can't target him either.

The "Shining Dispair" charge for this [Black Wrap] has already reached 100%.

Ready to fire, then we have to still and shoot him on his side to keep the calcheratan out of the ray, or downstairs without a laser.

But I already know how well Silver's "wind hooves" brake him to a steep descent in the [monochrome] battle.

"If it stays like this..."

- At that moment, space transformed.

"Huh?"

For a moment, I didn't know what happened.

That would be so.

Until earlier, a whale that looked about the size of a pinky finger to the brink,

- Because it exists today as a giant wall.

"...... ugh!!"

But in the next moment, one word passes through the brain.

- Damn it (...), and.

Untie the distance to protect yourself.

That's the discrepancy in distance.

The distance between him and me that shrunk in an instant.

The whale hull that was supposed to be ahead of me was right in front of me.

Silver was braking, but we're still in the sound speed range.

After a moment, the silver that put me on board would crash into the hull and become a piece of wood dust.

The whale will be partially shattered, but he can fix it quickly.

Hitting him with as much weight as we do won't crush him.

Untie it by weaving it that far.

There's nothing wrong with that, either, if we redeploy it immediately after the clash immediately afterwards.

The whale grasped my abilities and made the best decision according to the circumstances.

I'm just saying, it's the weapons that make it, you know.

Such thought occurs in the gap to the oddly stretched contact.

We're...
