After a short test, four air holes appeared on the back of the Gearman where Jenkins couldn't see, and then scorching steam spurted out of them, driving the Gearman to fly into the night sky of False Nolan.
"mean!"
Jenkins said, but didn't get on the stool and lift off.
The vines under his feet grew, and the vines crawled on the ground and became thicker, and then wriggled and lifted Jenkins to the sky. He wantonly used the majestic spirit in his body to make those plants grow continuously, trying to flood the entire square.
Chocolat didn't care about these, biting the shoulder strap of Jenkins's backpack and jumping up the vines, while the old man kept retreating to the outside of the square, holding the handle of the black suitcase nervously.
Seeing that the Jenkins Cup was lifted to a high place, the gear man did not continue to fly upwards, but stopped at a position almost level with Jenkins. With a strange clicking sound, five fist-sized metal balls were ejected from the gear man's shoulders, and the five small balls were evenly suspended above its head.
As the broken sword shot out again, the first small ball accurately hit the broken sword, pulling it magnetically and temporarily unable to return to Jenkins. The remaining four metal balls flew towards Jenkins together. Although the speed was not fast, Jenkins standing on the top of the vine had no place to dodge.
Not daring to directly touch these unknown weapons, Jenkins raised his right hand and pressed forward, trying to prevent them from approaching with the power to control the metal, but as soon as the mental power came into contact, he felt that what he was touching was not metal, but some kind of sticky substance. Huge biological tissue.
"It looks like the tentacle monster under the ship in the last treacherous land..."
The polluting spiritual power poured down on Jenkins, Jenkins snorted and ignored it, tilting his head to avoid the first metal ball. Stretch out your left hand and grab the second one. Immediately, slender tentacles stretched out from the surface of the ball, trying to plunge into Jenkins' blood vessel, but Jenkins threw it out again, hitting the third one.
The two balls did not collide and bounce, but merged together, and then separated immediately. The fifth ball that blocked Broken Sword also flew over at this time, and the five balls revolved around Jenkins, as if looking for an opportunity to attack.
The gear man is still suspended in the sky, and it doesn't know when it raised its hands high. A few traces of brassy light pooled above the sky-facing palm.
With the maximum power of the steam flow behind him, the gear man pointed his raised hands at Jenkins, and a brass-colored beam of light spewed out.
The essence of these lights is metal powder, attached to the polluting spirit of the difference engine. Even if ordinary people touch a little bit, the contact part will immediately change from flesh and blood to metal, and spontaneously pollute the entire flesh and blood body.
Although Jenkins is confident, he doesn't want to take this trick. But just as he was about to dodge down the vines, he didn't expect the five spheres surrounding him to be connected to each other, in the form of a weird barrier similar to a small mystical lock, preventing him from moving.
Afterwards, the brass beam of light flooded Jenkins' position, even turning the vines under his feet into metal. But before the metal vines spread downward, they were destroyed by more creeping vines below.
It's just that there is no shadow of Jenkins on the destroyed metal, and even the five orbs have disappeared.
The cogman looked at the broken sword flying in the air, which proved that Jenkins was still nearby. The sensing organ sensed the sound of breaking through the air from behind, and immediately swung his left arm, and then perfectly hit the flying metal ball to a distance that could not be seen from the horizon.
"It's amazing, at such a short distance, I didn't even sense that the attacking object was my own creation."
The gear man said, seeing that Jenkins hadn't shown up yet, he stretched out his left arm and pointed it down. The left arm transformed into a fire vent, from which flames shot out, trying to burn the vines that Jenkins had grown.
Wet plants are not easy to catch fire, but the flame of the Difference Engine is no ordinary fire. The sea of flames covered the Civic Square almost instantly, and the vines that continued to grow kept the flames from extinguishing.
The flames covered the moonlight, and the body of the gear man in the sky was reflected in a fiery red.
A strange sound came from below again, this time it had no time to react, and its left leg was destroyed by its own metal ball. All four balls flew out of the sea of flames, surrounding the gearman as if threatening Jenkins just now.
"Savior William, do you know how to use these weapons?"
It said to the sea of fire below.
"of course I know."
The sound really came from below, and the gear man immediately wanted to land, but the four balls surrounding it resonated vaguely just like before. Unique runes appeared on the surface of the metal ball. The runes were sharp and angular, without any rounded arcs.
The resonating sphere once again launched its confinement effect, and the gear man did not panic:
"If you want to rely on this alone..."
There is a hole between the brows of its head, and four brass chains protrude, connecting four metal balls in turn.
Immediately, the control of the sphere became easier, and the gear man kept this strange appearance and descended into the sea of flames, feeling his ability all the way down, catching Jenkins' trace.
"You really think I can't fly?"
Suddenly a voice appeared above, it was Jenkins' voice. But the gearman didn't look up to meet the enemy, it didn't sense the presence of any large creatures above, so it thought it was Jenkins in the sea of fire playing tricks.
Thus, the pigeon that Jenkins turned into fell directly on the gear man's head.
The bronze light flickered again.
Although he has not learned to fly yet, it is not difficult for Jenkins to become a flying animal. What's more, after turning into a creature like a pigeon, the volume of the space occupied will also become smaller, which can effectively avoid being detected.
This is of course impossible for the difference engine itself, but it is enough to deal with the gear man.
The flashing bronze light represented Jenkins' attempt to transform the gear man into a machine under his own control, and the gear man also chose to self-destruct in the first place.
"Do you think I'm going to blow you up again?"
Pigeon said, and the purple-gold ball of light returned to Jenkins' appearance. Waving to the bottom, the broken blade of the magic sword flew and directly inserted into the gear man's chest.
The sound of beep beep was terminated.
But it didn't end like this. The original complete gear man immediately disintegrated into a pile of small gears and fell from the sky to the sea of flames below, leaving only the small semi-metallic head controlled by Jenkins. But without a complete body, half a metal head is completely useless.
Jenkins threw them away, then took out the spiral sword and melted them.
Due to the temporary disappearance of the gear man, the burning flame is gradually extinguished. Jenkins was lifted high into the sky by the vines again, and looked down at the falling pinions.
The individual strength of the broken gears was also weakened, and they wanted to regroup, but they were surrounded by growing vines. When the cogman flew into the air again relying on the steam thrust from his back, its "thickness" was only a quarter of the initial one.
"One more disintegration, I guess you are really doomed. So, do you want to use one move to determine the outcome, and come to me for the final blow?"
Jenkins asked across the sky, and the gear man nodded without saying too much.
It disintegrated and deformed again in the air, transforming from a human form into a volleying sword. The sword body is made up of countless rotating small gears, so densely packed that almost no gaps can be seen, but if you look carefully, you can see that the whole is rotating. There are still fumaroles on the hilt of the sword, relying on the gushing of steam to maintain its hovering in the air.
Seeing this, Jenkins clenched the spiral sword with both hands, and the flames burning on the sword could no longer tell whether it was the flame of the spiral sword itself or the flame of Jenkins' gift.
The gear sword slowly changed its direction under the night sky, and the blade with black aura flashed in Jenkins' direction. As the last flames in the plaza faded, the cog-sword in the moonlight plunged down to Jenkins' head.
The spiral sword pulled out a dazzling flame in the air, and the ends of the two twisted metal strands turned towards the sky. First of all, the blades collided with each other, and both of them had no sharp blades due to their structure.
The gear sword was also judged to be a sword, and the gears on the blade part collapsed into useless metal scraps immediately. But then the gear sword in the air disintegrated again, and countless small gears revolved around the held high spiral sword, and pieces of small gears were attached to the sword body, suppressing the flame on the spiral sword in a blink of an eye.
"You think I won't expect you to do this?"
The blazing flames hit the scattered gears in a state of near explosion, and the weakening of individual strength caused the gears closest to the sword body to be melted immediately, falling downward like extinguished mosquitoes.
The only thing left was the gear on the hilt that hadn't been disassembled yet. Seeing this scene, he immediately wanted to escape back to the higher night sky.
"it's useless!"
Holding a sword in one hand, the other hand is clawed towards the sky. The escaped gear felt the suction and flew slowly towards Jenkins' hand.
"If there were only this number of gears left, I would be able to control them without direct contact."
The small gears moved downward little by little, and finally they all fit on Jenkins' hands, and changed from brass to bronze.
Instead of using the metals, Jenkins melted them down too.
As the melted metal fell to the ground, it meant that the gear man was completely wiped out.
Although in the fight just now, neither side used any powerful means, but every movement of the almost immortal world tree and the indestructible robot may bring death to the opponent. At the level of a human form individual, this is already a very intense battle.
Although there are not many tricks, this is a real fight to the death. Even Jenkins in his current state doesn't want to fight like that again.
But this is not the end. At this moment, the ground finally began to shake.
