Chapter 434: Visible Darkness
It turns out that La Folia is a bait that the magician Gongsu has to take.
When the two men settled the girl who had recovered to normal and stepped into the island again, groups of fully armed mechanical puppets appeared one after another. As soon as they saw people, they immediately pulled the trigger and attacked the two men.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang...!"
The sound of gunfire continued to appear on the island, forming a hail of bullets, bringing more smell of gunpowder to this land that was almost scorched.
Unfortunately, this impressive army meant nothing to Aize and La Fulia.
“Puff!” “Puff!” “Puff!”…
The silver short blade flashed through the air like a flash, part of it circled in front of Aize, creating a spatial fault to block the incoming rain of bullets, while part of it passed through the incoming rain of bullets, cutting off the mechanical puppets with machine guns, and ruthlessly cut them into a pile of metal fragments.
"The daughter of the gods lives in me, the guardian of the army, the age of swords, the pusher of death will eventually bring victory!"
On the other side, La Fulia was chanting a beautiful prayer poem.
As she chanted, the spear she had just pulled out of her body was covered in flashes of light, forming a blade of light that was more than ten meters long.
It was a very dazzling and holy light, a weapon made of pure light.
In the Kingdom of Aldikia, there is a world-famous cutting-edge knight equipment called the Artisan System.
It is a tactical support weapon that can temporarily raise the weapon's spiritual power to the level of a holy sword, giving the weapon powerful power and magical effects.
Through this system, all knights who receive support will obtain a pseudo holy sword. Although the weapon will only become a holy sword for a short time, the light it emits can still prevent ordinary demons from approaching, and can even inflict terrible damage to the demons and suppress their regeneration ability.
Relying on the Artisan Hero System, the Holy Ring Knights of the Kingdom of Aldikia have made many military achievements, making them known as the natural enemies of the demons.
However, if one wants to use the Artisan System to create a simulated holy sword, one must rely on the large amount of spiritual power supplied by the Spirit Furnace.
However, the women of the royal family of Aldikia who are mediums can summon spirits into their bodies, and use the virtual holy sword without the need for an spirit furnace, and the power is purer and more powerful.
At this time, La Fulia used her own cursed spear as a medium, using the power of the elves to enhance its spirituality and sublimate it into a pseudo-holy sword.
"That's enough, robot puppet."
Holding the virtual holy sword, La Fulia changed her previous style of long-range combat using the cursed gun and took the initiative to close the distance between herself and the mechanical doll.
The mechanical doll shot towards her, but was blocked by the flash of light that enveloped its entire body.
Facing the overwhelming hail of bullets, La Folia quickly rushed towards the mechanical dolls, and the virtual holy sword in her hand drew a trajectory that was more dazzling than the silver short blade of Azer's Hundred Styles Heavy Demon-Slaying Blade, and slashed at the enemy.
“Puff!” “Puff!” “Puff!”…
The mechanical puppets that were hit by the simulated holy sword had armor that was as thin as paper and could not provide any blocking effect at all. They were cut into two halves and scattered all over the ground.
Although these mechanical dolls were not demons, they were just a bunch of scrap metal. They could not stop the attack of the simulated holy sword and were easily chopped into pieces.
If Aize's martial god weapon cut through these mechanical dolls as smoothly as cutting butter, then Nara Freya's simulated holy sword cut through these mechanical dolls like cutting fruits.
Under such circumstances, the mechanical dolls that appeared one after another from the uninhabited island were naturally all destroyed without exception.
However, these mechanical puppets were just minions and couldn't even cause trouble for Aze and La Freya.
The truly tough enemy was the figure that suddenly flew over from the other side of the island.
"Kyriiiiiiiiiiii——!"
The existence with ugly wings, ugly body patterns and ugly mask, called fake angel, once again appeared in front of Aize and La Fulia, releasing large amounts of light rain towards them.
Faced with this magical attack that had the effect of breaking magic, La Freya did not dare to use elf magic to resist it. Even Aize did not dare to use ghost magic to resist it. The two of them dodged quickly.
“Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang…!”
In an instant, the surface of the uninhabited island was ravaged again, explosions occurred again and again, burning everything.
While dodging with the technique of instant step, Aize held the jet-black straight knife in his hand and poured a huge amount of spiritual power into the knife.
"A thousand swords stood on the ground, using them as a city wall to defend against the enemy. All the thousand swords were lost, but one sword was taken from the tail of the giant snake!"
The sound of the Kusanagi sword rang out from the sword, awakening the power to absorb the characteristics of the rebellious barbarians and use them for its own benefit.
"This is the sword of Ama-no-Kurosakumo, the divine steel that can rival a thousand swords!"
Aize suddenly escaped into the space, activated the ring, and appeared in front of the fake angel.
“Puff!”
The sword of Ame Murakumo slashed down like a black thunder, without touching the pseudo-angel in the higher-dimensional space, but completely absorbed the super-dimensional membrane around it.
At this moment, the sword Ama Murasakibara exerted its stealing properties, seizing the pseudo-angel's ability to hide itself in a higher-dimensional space and merging it with itself.
Thanks to this, the jet-black blade of the Kusanagi sword turned into dazzling gold, and the waves it emitted also turned into high-dimensional energy.
After integrating the power of the dimension with itself, the Kusanagi sword gained a new ability - dimension cutting.
“Puff!”
The next moment, the black knife slashed through the super-dimensional membrane around the fake angel very smoothly, allowing the blade to touch the girl's body.
"break!"
Under the roar of Ame-Kume-no-Ken, the demon-breaking power eliminated the angel modeling technique and spirit evolution technique on the girl, making the girl look like the previous fake angel, with all the wings, patterns and mask disappearing.
"pretty."
La Fulia, who was waiting for Aize on the ground, looked at this scene and couldn't help but clap her hands.
"After having experienced fighting an enemy once, you will be able to defeat the enemy in the fastest and simplest way. If you are willing to be a knight, you should be the most brave and combative type on the battlefield, right?"
La Fulia looked at Aize with more and more admiration.
"It's nothing." Aize brought the girl to La Fulia and said calmly, "These so-called angels just have some special abilities. As long as there is a way to work on them, it won't be difficult to deal with them."
So, this time, Aize didn't even need to use the White Dragon King's Wings of Light and Hundred Styles Heavy Demon-Subduing Blade. Just Ame Murakami was enough to deal with them.
"I really want to introduce you to my father."
La Fulia was inspired.
"No thanks."
Aize immediately refused.
He didn't want to be hunted down by the king who was a slave to his daughter, even though he was not afraid.
"You don't have to refuse so bluntly, right?"
La Fulia was a little unhappy.
"Let's go, let's keep moving forward."
Aize ignored La Fulia.
This princess, who is extremely famous internationally, may be beautiful, but she is visibly dark-hearted.
It was clearly the first time that the two of them met, but Her Royal Highness the Princess was extremely familiar with him and would tease him from time to time, making him almost roll his eyes.
If it weren't for the fact that the other person's image had a great impact on him when they first met, he would have tied her up with a rope just like he did to Kirasaka Sayaka.
And maybe La Fulia noticed this, she actually started teasing him even more, making him almost want to strip her naked again.
The two of them played around all the way, encountered several waves of mechanical puppets, and also encountered two fake angels.
"Hase Kensei... that guy is really doing whatever he wants."
Seeing the appearance of fake angels one after another, La Freya was no longer in the mood to tease Aize, and her tone became full of displeasure for the first time.
There is no way. Every time a fake angel appears, it proves that Kensei Yezawa, the former court magic technician of the Kingdom of Aldikia, has transformed an innocent girl.
This is a taboo human experiment. No wonder La Fulia is in a bad mood.
“That may not be all.”
Aize summoned a Chimera beast and had it carry the unconscious girl to the beach.
All the fake angels that were dealt with by Aze were gathered there and protected by several of Aze's magical beasts.
"There should be at least three more fake angels like this, right?"
La Fulia spoke in a deep voice.
"The ritual of creating a simulated angel is the application of poison, which makes the candidates who are fake angels kill each other. The victor swallows the psychic center of the defeated and absorbs it into his own body. The best individual is born in the end, the real simulated angel."
"According to the experimental records preserved in Aldikia, to complete the real model of an angel, at least seven fake angels must be prepared."
"Humans are born with seven psychic energy centers, plus the six that are swallowed by those who defeat their kind, a total of thirteen psychic energy centers, and thirty paths connecting them."
"This is the minimum number of psychic energy centers required for humans to raise their spiritual level to the next level."
When one of the seven pseudo-angels successfully survives to the end and is absorbed into the psychic centers of the other six pseudo-angels, the spiritual center in the pseudo-angel's body, which has been enhanced to the maximum limit of the human body through magic, will be able to gain the possibility of spiritual evolution without exceeding the spiritual capacity of the body, thus becoming an angel that is closer to God than humans.
This is how the model angel was created.
"It's really similar to the Flame Feast."
Aize said so.
"The Fourth True Ancestor's Resurrection Ceremony?" La Freya nodded and said, "They are indeed similar things. Both involve the victor devouring the power of the defeated, concentrating all the power of the matrix into one person, thus achieving the ultimate life transition and life evolution."
The Feast of Flame was a slaughter among the twelve entities, which eventually gave birth to only one individual with twelve companions, and that individual was the Fourth True Ancestor.
The False Angel is the result of the mutual slaughter among seven false angels, and eventually only one individual with thirteen spiritual centers was born, and that individual is the False Angel.
Although there are some minor differences, the general process is very similar.
"There are three false angels left. Is Yeze one of them?"
La Fulia did not respond to Aize's muttering this time.
Because the two of them had already crossed the entire uninhabited island and arrived at the coast on the other side.
“Is this the end?”
Aize frowned.
The maximum diameter of the island is less than two kilometers. An ordinary person can walk around the entire island in about half a day. If Aize and La Fulia walk straight from one end to the other, the time required will be even shorter.
But apart from encountering a large number of mechanical dolls and a few fake angels, the two of them didn't encounter anything else.
For example, the target of this trip, Natsune Yease.
"Isn't it on this side, but on the other side of the island?"
While Aize was thinking this, La Fulia pointed to the sea.
"Aize, there."
Hearing this, Aize raised his head and looked at the sea not far away.
There was a ship parked there.
It was a commercial cargo ship whose aging state could be vaguely seen.
"Look at the markings on that ship. Was it made by a wizard?"
La Fulia's eyesight was obviously very good, as she could actually see the markings on the hull.
"It seems we have found it."
Aize confirmed it and said so immediately.
"Then we..."
Just as La Fulia was about to say something, Aize suddenly knocked her down.
“Buzz…”
In the next second, a flash of light passed through the place where La Folia was a second ago and fell to the ground.
"Bang!!!"
As soon as the flash touched the ground, it immediately caused a huge explosion, blowing all the dust and debris into the air, forming a fire wave and an air wave.
"Another attack...?!"
La Fulia immediately drew out her cursed gun.
"No." Aize shook his head and said, "This attack is not aimed at us."
Indeed, this attack was not aimed at Aize and La Fulia.
Because, on the sea ahead, flashes of light kept flying across, not flying towards this side, but flying towards the surrounding sea, bombarding the sea surface and creating waves of huge splashes.
The source of the flash came from two girls who were wearing the same close combat uniforms, had the same ugly wings, the same strange patterns, and the same evil masks.
They were two fake angels.
Two fake angels were fighting fiercely on the sea. Every move they made released flashes of light, ravaging and destroying the surroundings.
"Is this the formal ritual process for creating an angel?"
Aize narrowed his eyes, and his sight was attracted by one of the two fake angels.
Although the opponent was wearing a mask, combat uniform, and had ugly wings and patterns, Aize still caught a glimpse of a head of silver hair fluttering in the wind while he was flying at high speed.
Aize's eyes were fixed on this person.
"Finally found it..."
