Endless Silver Machine

There were indeed enemies ambush in the mountain tunnel as Aika expected, but it was more like an "unexpected encounter" than an "ambush". This is the main road connecting the center of the camp and the temporary airport. The magician troops and soldiers stationed here also clashed like the outside world.

However, Aika only met a few lone kingdom magicians, which can be regarded as the lowest level of threat.

Aika accurately hit the opponent's wrist with the gun barrel in his left hand. The long sword-shaped mimicry magic suit in his hand was thrown into the air. Aika's right hand hidden in front of his abdomen pulled the trigger and destroyed it with one shot.

But without retracting his left hand, he knocked away the opponent's mimicry magic equipment and then used the butt of the gun to sink deeply into his abdomen. After a dull hitting feeling, the kingdom magician finally lost consciousness.

"The last one, done."

The silver-white twin guns turned into silver-white magic particles and dissipated in the dim space, becoming a scenery that may only be seen this once in this place.

Liuyin never participated in the battle, but watched with mixed emotions as Aika fought through all the obstacles.

As a blue knight who has been on the front line for a long time, Liuyin never knew that he would be so nervous and uneasy just watching other people fighting in front of him while doing nothing himself.

The tunnel, which was originally carved out of the mountain, was already crumbling under the fierce fighting.

"Aika, do you want to take a rest here first..."

"No, we won't last long here."

Aika raised his head and looked at the front of the tunnel with flickering lights. From time to time, gravel fell from above his head.

In the process of fighting those lonely kingdom magicians just now, it is not surprising that the tunnel, which was already fragile, would collapse at any time.

Liuyin couldn't find any other reason to persuade him to stop, so he could only keep his mouth shut. Aika had already taken the lead into the depths of the tunnel, and she had no choice but to speed up and follow.

There were no signs indicating the direction here. Fortunately, Aika had passed by here before to get to the center of the battlefield, so he could find the correct direction in the intricate tunnels.

The last time he passed by here, Aika had never thought that the road the two of them had traveled together had now returned here alone.

The front of the mountain tunnel lit up with a pure white light that was different from the candlelight.

"I'm going to walk out of here soon."

"……Um."

Fresh air flows in from the outlet. Standing at the exit of the mountain tunnel, the camp airport where the Kingdom's army airships are parked is right in front of them.

However, dead human corpses can be seen everywhere in the camp airport, including army soldiers and kingdom magicians.

It seems that Aika and the others had already experienced a cruel internal fight before they came here.

Even Liuyin, who often saw blood during missions, couldn't help but cover his mouth in front of this scene where life was like a dandelion withering in the wind at any time, suppressing the nausea that wanted to vomit.

She was just a girl who had been through slightly more battles than the others. Even though I have carried out several scenes that can be called cruel, I have never seen such a scene of wantonly trampling on life.

Aika didn't seem to be shaken by the scene in front of him, but as if he didn't see the human corpse lying at his feet, he walked straight towards the military airship parked on the apron.

Liuyin paid attention to his feet, carefully walked around the corpse at his feet, and followed Aika closely around the road.

"It seems it's still usable." Aika roughly checked the control panel of the airship, "Liuyin, come up."

Liuyin stepped on the steps that were a bit high for her to board the airship, and then let the ice coffin carrying Wei Xi lie across the center of the narrow cabin.

Aika adjusted the parameters on the console, set it to automatic driving, with the royal capital displayed on the map as the maximum speed in the forward direction, and finally pressed the OK button. The ladder extending downward folded and retracted, the hatch closed with intermittent mechanical noises, and the molecular power furnace inside the airship began to operate.

Aika walked down from the console and came to Wei Xi's ice coffin. Liuyin was now slumped on the edge of the ice coffin.

The reason why he could not care about the status of the airship was because he still had Hitomi's ancient aviation magic ship "Yectrasil" as a last resort. Even if they lost the airship midway, they could escape.

Hearing the footsteps approaching, Liuyin raised his head and looked at Aika, who was looking down at them.

This ice coffin is not transparent, so no matter how hard you look, you can't see Wei Xi's figure.

At this moment, what exactly is reflected in Aika's eyes?

At this time, Hitomi walked out from behind Aika without making any sound.

She wasn't here when she just boarded the plane, was she? At first Liuyin was frightened by her silent appearance and disappearance, but after seeing it once, she somehow got used to it quickly.

"Hitomi, let's continue." Aika's eyes did not leave Wei Xi's ice coffin, "It is safe here for the time being. You said before that there is something you must tell me."

"Yes," Hitomi also came to Wei Xi's ice coffin, but what was reflected in her eyes was Aika's figure. "Although I think it is necessary to inform the master immediately, the situation was urgent at that time and it was not convenient to explain in detail. ."

"The most important thing is clear now, right?"

"No," Hitomi firmly rejected what Aika took for granted, "If I informed the master of this fact when I broke through the enemy's formation, the master might change the itinerary. Because of this, I didn't say anything."

These words sounded a bit meaningless, and the conversation between Aika and Hitomi didn't seem to go together at all. Aika finally moved her gaze to Hitomi in confusion, and Liuyin's gaze also fell on Hitomi.

They are now thousands of meters high in the sky, heading towards the royal capital that is currently being swallowed by the mimicry magic equipment.

Aika's only thought was how to find the lair of the Nemesis Society from the society's minions who finally appeared.

Hitomi's hesitant statement attracted the attention of everyone here, but she just blinked her eyes that exuded a faint ethereal spirit as if no one was watching.

"Snow Tide Ji has not stopped functioning," she said as a matter of course, as if it were a lie. "Using human thinking, she is currently in a state of deep sleep."
