Both mechas hunted down the invaders and others with considerable efficiency, but the invaders proliferated faster.
If this continues, you will definitely lose.
However, Aki doesn't think this will be the end of Theon.
"...The diffusion technique unfolds."
Theon muttered, just barely audible over the comms. At that moment, a magic circle appeared in front of the muzzle of the "Dragon Sword".
Then the flash from the muzzle split countless branches the moment it hit the magic circle, gathering the intruders together.
"That's awesome! Don't you need a spell like before?"
"There is no need to spread the beam... Regardless of this for now, can it be moved slightly behind the 'Asahi'?"
"do you understand?"
Although it was clear from the correspondence that Gee was clearly unable to understand his intentions, he still obediently followed Theon's instructions.
During this time, Theon continued to scatter the clouds of darkness with spreading light.
"Is there a strange box behind the seat?"
"The strange box...is it the box that says 'Don't touch if it's dangerous' and 'It will explode if you remove it forcibly'?"
"Yes, that's it!"
"Are you just moving the 'Satin' like this?"
Anna's accusation is correct no matter how you think about it, but Xion and Ji don't seem to have any doubts about it, thinking that "this is a common thing in the Thirteenth Skills Class."
"So, talking about that box at this time can be used, right?"
In response to Anna's question, she just laughed out loud.
That's the same answer.
"Voice authentication, the password is "The Thirteenth Meteor"!"
"Certification completed. Spell activated."
What responded to Theon's words was not anyone's voice, but the mechanical voice in the cockpit of "Satine".
"Whoa!? Hey, Theon! It seems to be activated!?"
"It's not dangerous, it doesn't matter. It will be taken care of automatically later."
"Forget it, what on earth is going on?!"
She looked at a loss. Xiaojing and the others didn't understand the situation at all.
At this time, Gao Yang, who was standing on the bridge, screamed in surprise.
"The high-energy reaction inside 'Satin''s body! It's still rising!"
"Hey, Theon! What is this?!"
No need to think about the reason at all.
Theon happily answered Anna's question.
"I am a technician of the notorious Thirteen Skills Class, and I am also a magician. Then I can only make weapons and toys that combine science and magic."
"That is to say..."
"It's a magic attack weapon made just in case. It's a magic attack weapon that can be used against large weapons. It's just right, so let's give it a try!"
Complex patterns appeared on the surface of the "Saturn" on the screen.
The pattern radiates a purple light, growing in intensity over time.
The changes on the battlefield don't stop there.
"There is also a high-energy reaction directly above the intruder, which is considered to be original! Judging from the reaction pattern, it seems to be the same as that emitted from 'Satin'."
Echoing the brilliance of "Satin", a three-dimensional magic circle appeared in the sky, as well as the increasing light inside.
I felt a chill when I saw that light.
For some reason, Xiaojing was convinced that this was a very unlucky thing.
"The total amount of energy possessed by the light in the sky is comparable to the main gun of a battleship!"
"That kind? 'Satin' is not aboard Theon Istar!"
Although it was created by Theon using his supernatural powers, it is ridiculous that a weapon with the same size and firepower as the main gun of a battleship can be mounted on mobile armor.
Xion told them happily, just as he laughed at Aki and the others for their vacillation.
"Everyone in the human army, please take a good look at it. This is a power I created without reservation driven by curiosity."
Then, an even stronger light fell straight into the river.
After a moment of silence, a flash of light swept the river water upwards, shattering the asphalt-covered base ground and completely submerging the dark clouds.
The time is night.
The sun outside the "fog" has completely set, and the battle in the city has ended for a few hours.
The battle itself was almost ended with a single blow from "Satin", but due to the aftermath, time passed here.
It is definitely not a new thing to take time to deal with the aftermath, but taking so much time this time is not a good thing for Ajit.
In any case, Theon and the human army's problems did not improve in these few hours.
After the battle, now that Theon has returned to "Miststan", as mentioned before, he must have the will to talk to Ajid again.
However, you don’t know how the conversation will end until you try it.
"...Are you nervous?"
Ajit was in the conference room in the "fog" and only asked Anna to stand by at the same table.
This was to discuss future matters with Theon.
Anna seemed to sense the tension of the conversation, and she looked at me worriedly.
"The fault lies entirely here. Just thinking about what method that Istar will take gives me a headache."
"...I understand in my heart."
Although Anna has a close and trusted relationship with Theon, she is not optimistic about the conversation that will follow.
Precisely because she knew him so well, Anna was even more vigilant.
——Even if I were on Aki's side, I don't think I would make much concessions.
This was the first thing she said when Akito asked Anna to come together to talk.
Although Theon was willing to listen to Anna's words, he did not follow them blindly.
If your personal safety is threatened, you should be held accountable accordingly.
"Anyway, it won't get any worse if you keep Misty here."
"Because your personality and I are so incompatible."
"Theon almost doesn't care."
Misty continues to do post-mortem work on the bridge. This job is half truth and half show.
It would be troublesome if she was present and contradicted by Xion.
"Now that things have happened, I finally understand what squad leader Heiyan said. It seems that I really should remind my family..."
Although Xion was a little awkward, he was not uncooperative with the human army, and he probably didn't mean to be hostile. ...If the human army doesn't take action.
If you want to get along well with Theon, you should be wary of the extremists within the human army, not the movements of Theon himself.
This situation is the result of laziness.
"There's nothing we can do about the past, so let's move forward... If this continues, Xion will really pull him out."
"That would be troublesome."
After listening to the serious and tongue-in-cheek advice, Ajid changed his negative mind.
Almost at the same time, someone knocked on the door of the conference room.
"Theon Istar, here I come."
"come in."
In the past, he would have barged in without waiting for anyone to answer even if he knocked on the door, but from this subtle difference in behavior, you can also feel the depth of the gap caused by this incident.
Under such circumstances, Theon entered the room and sat calmly opposite Ajid at the table.
"... Istar, what happened to the amount?"
He should have been worried about how to say hello as soon as he opened his mouth, but when he saw Theon sitting in front of him with a red forehead, he couldn't help but start the conversation with this question.
"...Some people from the Thirteenth Skills Class are here."
"A little bit refers to you..."
"So far today, I have proposed several punishment games to make everyone worried. I chose the best one, but I didn't expect that it was ruined by Mr. Daryl's prosthetic hand."
Ajit had also heard rumors about Daryl's prosthetic hand, so he knew that a blow with a mechanical finger would be quite serious.
In fact, there is a bright red birthmark on his forehead, so that's what it should be.
"It's much better than the sudden explosion of the mecha's arm. Don't worry about it."
Nor can I laugh at the irony of an exaggerated shrug.
Because it is said in a joking way, it is difficult to judge, but it must be well understood.
"...Let me apologize first. It was my lack of supervision this time."
The first option Ajid chose was to bow his head and apologize honestly.
This time it was entirely the fault of the human army.
Although it is temporary, since it is a contract signed by superiors, even lower-level soldiers must abide by it.
It is undeniable that Ajit's incompetence as the captain commanding this force is undeniable.
"...Where are the criminals?"
"We detained everyone and locked them up in the warehouse, including the prisoner who carried out the explosion, and also questioned everyone who assisted us."
"Um."
