Serena looked at the fragments of the big gun in her hand in disbelief and murmured, "It's impossible, the original product was actually copied..."
Pullman was also very surprised. He didn't expect the attack to be so effective. Although he tried his best to do everything possible, the final result was beyond his control;
"The deputy gang leader said that as long as it is a man-made thing, there will definitely be trade-offs and flaws. If he is allowed to find the Ashbringer one day, he will also dismantle it and reverse engineer it and come up with the blueprints."
Pullman stood up. Instead of taking the opportunity to attack, he put his right hand on his chest and made a gesture to her. This is the basic etiquette of a duel: when your opponent's weapon is damaged, pause the attack and ask him if he wants to admit defeat.
Serena picked up the hem of her robe, returned the salute, and then crossed her hands in a gesture in response, which meant: continue the duel. After doing all this, she smiled and said, "I knew you must be a descendant of a noble. Because how can a commoner observe etiquette so elegantly and gracefully!"
"That disappoints you. I am a son of farmers for generations. In addition to farming, my family is also a carpenter."
In the ensuing battle, Pullman was not afraid of his opponent who had lost the ability to attack from a distance. Coupled with the experience accumulated from previous battles with it, he used ice ammunition and grenades to slow down and fly the kite calmly.
The battle prosthetic body has been greatly depleted of energy. Even though its strength and defense are still abnormal, it cannot stop the well-prepared and highly targeted spell-breaking bomb group. While slowing down, Pullman no longer held back and used spell-breaking magic bullets and grenades to exhaust the shields and toughness enchantments on the alloy skeleton one by one and disperse them. Those slender and precise alloy frames have returned to their original fragile and easy-to-break state.
Under the ferocious firepower, metal parts, bionic limbs and organs were constantly destroyed and flew far away from the body.
Finally, on the platform above the main building of the city hall, after suffering a continuous burst of intensive fire, Serena fell to the ground and could no longer move. Although the head, which was loaded with special protective magic, survived, the limbs were penetrated by spell-breaking ammunition and all lost their functions.
After several attempts, she could only turn over and could not even sit up. All the prosthetic organs in the body were flashing alarms, and the magic light and source energy leaked and ignited flames everywhere.
Serena lay on the tiles, staring blankly at the night sky, and said slowly, "Am I losing? I have lost so much, why, I still failed."
Pullman stepped forward holding the imitation rifle and replied in a deep voice, "Although your strength and defense have been strengthened by replacing your flesh and blood body with a puppet prosthetic body, at the same time, you have also lost the dexterity and acumen that only living creatures can have." . More importantly, the ability to learn, adapt and grow as a human being has been lost."
"Really? It turns out that I lost something so important."
Looking at the motionless semi-puppet, Pullman had no intention of showing mercy. After checking to determine that Serena was no longer able to resist, he stepped forward, raised his rifle and aimed it at her head. "Goodbye, Mage Hunter. I hope that in the Shadow Realm, you can reflect on the sins you have committed."
Just when Pullman was about to pull the trigger and strike a fatal blow, Serena, who was close at hand, suddenly disappeared.
Pullman was horrified. He had extremely sharp eyesight and was trained in eagle eye skills, but he didn't catch even a trace. He quickly gripped the rifle and searched everywhere. At this time, an extremely terrifying "clicking sound" came from behind;
On the clock in the center of the city hall, a spider-like monster with its limbs deformed, stretched, and spread out was attached to the huge dial; Shang's head, which finally retained some human features, also had cracked mouth corners and bulging eyeballs. A harsh sound came immediately;
"You are right, I have understood that humans have their limits. So - I don't want to be a human anymore!"
This is Serena who has changed her form. This monster-like posture allows her to double her speed again, and she can crawl and climb flexibly at high places like a spider.
Pullman gritted his teeth. He was shocked not only because the other party still had the energy to spare, but also because he felt that the other party seemed to have said an incredible line unintentionally.
A monster-like Serena, or a monster that resembles Serena, is crawling around on the clock. She does not attack directly, but wanders around her prey like a real beast, screaming at the same time;
"This form requires complete control of the body to the killing instinct of the combat prosthetic. As you can see, it goes against my aesthetics. I was originally very resistant to using it; but I know very well that people who fail are more likely to use it. It doesn’t look good!”
Serena closed her eyes and cleared her mind. As she handed over more control over her consciousness, the movements of the spider-shaped prosthesis became more agile and powerful; the space magic box mounted on the torso was opened, and the automatic repair system restored and transformed her limbs, and loaded many murder parts in the body. , making her look more like a monster, with her speed and strength increased several times compared to before.
In the long and fierce battle just now, Pullman had used up almost all the ammunition, especially the protective scrolls and rune grenades. There was no one left. Moreover, he discovered that with the transformation into a beast, the opponent no longer acted with a trace of hesitation, or concern and fear of his own injury; it no longer had any human or biological characteristics, but was purely a killing machine.
Just to transform into a humanoid prosthetic body, Serena has already paid a huge price. I don't know what this form cost her. Pullman had a hunch that that might be everything for this mage hunter.
Pullman immediately concluded that retreat was necessary. However, the wounds he had received during the battle that were too late to be treated greatly affected his agility in action. In addition, he ran out of more critical ammunition, which quickly put him in a desperate situation. The eight-legged monster pursues him with a strange and swift posture and speed. It is not afraid of the continuous attacks of spell-breaking bullets and rushes forward;
Facing the monster that opened its terrifying mouth and bit into his neck, Pullman had no choice but to make the decision to save his life and put an arm across the front of the mouth. As blood spattered, his arm was bitten off by the deformed mouth.
Pullman almost fainted. He endured the severe pain and used his remaining arm to raise a gun to break several of the monster's long legs and escape from death. Then he used the zipline prepared in advance and took advantage of the recoil of the shot to draw toward the ground.
The injured monster crawled away with Pullman's arm in its mouth, and the space magic box on its back continued to repair and transform its body. The sharp and harsh voice laughed, "Does it hurt? It won't hurt soon. I want to make you the best puppet. I really like you..."
Pullman, who had slid to the bottom, resisted the dizziness from excessive blood loss and pulled off the pendant from his chest, which was a red bullet.
