Xier looked at the "Seventh Holy Scripture" in his hand and the black key hidden under his monastic robes, then looked at the sea of fire that prevented the forest from spreading, and his eyelids twitched.
She thought her actions were outrageous enough, but she didn't expect there would be someone even more outrageous than her. However, she also knew that Shinji's response was the best option at the moment.
Although the first incendiary bomb was almost unable to stop the trees from coming one after another, the scale of the sea of fire was enough to rival her hidden trump card. However, in the Fu Hai Lin, she was unable to communicate with the "Great Source" and could not use this trump card at all.
There is nothing to hesitate about. It is just a matter of using technological weapons. The members of the "Burial Agency" are not the old-fashioned magicians in the Clock Tower.
The nun, who also had blue hair and blue eyes, kicked a barrel of gasoline into the dying fire with her toes, adding fuel to the fire to continue the incendiary barrier.
Then he picked up the six-barreled Vulcan cannon and fired at the shadows of the trees in the flames. Being able to transform the Seventh Holy Scripture into a shock cone, Xiel's familiarity with individual weapons was no less than Shinji's.
The characteristics of the Vulcan Cannon are fast firing speed and great power. Even if it is a blood-sucking plant that has absorbed the "king of the continent", it will be smashed to pieces by a burst of bullets.
If he was surrounded by countless vampires, it would be fine, as he could rely on the characteristics of the vampires to recover quickly. But now he was in a sea of fire, and he had no time to recover before the flames stained him and quickly spread to the surroundings.
"Well done."
Shinji was generous in his praise for Hiel's sharp operation. He skillfully loaded the RPG and fired another shot in another direction - the trees were evolving very quickly and had already figured out how to take a detour.
Xier then turned his gun around and started a new round of shooting. Although it was the first time for the two to work together, they worked very well together because of their common interests. The hostility and estrangement caused by Erquette also disappeared in the deafening sound of gunfire.
While firing as much as they could, the two men did not forget their companions with limited mobility.
"Karen, come behind me."
"Mei Lian, please protect yourself and pay attention to your surroundings. If there are any fish that have escaped, please let us know."
"It's a good idea, but we're not weak enough to need protection—it's about time we get up, Kallen."
In Mei Lian's voice full of sweetness and murderous intent, the ominous atmosphere broke out again.
This time, it was not from Kallen's body, but from Meline herself. The boy, one of the twenty-seven ancestors, was already a powerful figure in the mysterious world as the "Demon Envoy". Driving demons was as easy for him as breathing. It was because of his help that the current "Demon Nun" was created.
The demon's power filled the atmosphere and was absorbed by Kallen at an extremely fast speed.
"Ughhhhhh—"
The smaller girl screamed miserably, and her exposed skin inexplicably showed various scars - this is the physical condition of the so-called abused psychic.
In contrast to her bruised body, the girl's face became more and more rosy. In the end, she stood up shakily, picked up the Gatling gun in one hand and grabbed a few grenades in the other. She was even more brave than Shinji and Hier who were intact.
Shinji, who was keeping an eye on the back, almost popped his eyes out.
"Is there such a thing? But - if this continues, her body may collapse at any time."
"This is the price. If you want to gain something, you must pay something. It's a simple truth. If you want to gain great power in a short period of time, you must take risks. Everything is voluntary."
As Meilian said, everything was Kallen's own choice. Although she inherited Kotomine Kirei's talent, she was not outstanding among the agents who were all experts. She also missed the best age for human growth, and it would be difficult for her to reach Kirei's level even if she trained normally for a lifetime.
From the moment she decided to join the Burial Agency, Karen had prepared herself to be completely played with. As long as she could gain power and fill her empty heart, she would do anything.
The "Buried Organ" did not disappoint her. Although the members were more twisted than one another, it did open a whole new door for her. There were precious secrets and technologies that were unimaginable to the outside world. She herself was a beneficiary of one of the technologies, a technology called "Demon Fusion".
Demons possessing humans will stimulate their desires and drive them crazy, but they will also gain powerful strength. The original intention of this technology is to allow humans to control the power of demons for their own use and transform demons into combat power, similar to "sub-servants".
In view of Kallen's nature as a medium for tortured spirits and her own wishes, Narubalek made her a test subject for this technology. With the assistance of Melian, who can create demons with imagination, the most suitable demon for Kallen was prepared, and the final product is the current "Demon Nun".
Because of this, as long as Meilian is there, Kallen can always replenish the demon. Of course, the fusion process will be accompanied by great pain.
"Karen, if you can't hold on, just tell me. I can stop at any time."
"It's alright, Master Meilian. I haven't reached my limit yet."
Her golden eyes had been stained black by the aura of madness, but Kallen still had no intention of giving up.
"At this level, it's still far from that criminal."
Shinji couldn't say much about the person's attitude, and could only complain in his heart, "It's completely twisted." Later, he added, "The style is quite consistent with 'Buried Mechanic'."
Seeing Kallen's madness and Fuhailin's agitation, the boy, who was only a little older than him, was also awakened to his passion after a long time.
If you want to fight, you must win. The boy doesn't want to lose to anyone except the master to whom he offers loyalty and admiration.
"Come on, the right arm devil, The Lady Windup!"
His right hand became illusory, and another of the "Four Demons" appeared behind him.
Like the "King of the Continent" which is her right foot, the "Ingenious Daughter" is still nameless, with only a title given based on her appearance.
Ingenuity means machine or mechanism.
Qianjin means a noble girl.
The right-hand demon fully meets these characteristics, with guns, swords and war as its desires, and is based on the large sculpture of the goddess of the temple. It is finally manifested as a ten-meter-tall mechanical puppet (anthropomorphic gear mechanical statue).
The doll looks like a cute and delicate girl like a doll, and part of its outer armor is designed to look like a black lace dress. Considering this, it would be more appropriate to refer to it as "she".
However, in Shinji's eyes, she should not be called "Mechanical Daughter", but should be called Mechanical Girl or Mechanical War Angel.
PS: The demons here are not the opposite of gods in mythology. Those should be called demons. The demons here include monsters, natural distortions, and even evil spirits. The definition is relatively broad.
