Chapter 222 – #2-34 Infiltration, Counterattack, and Detection. Magical Girl Pure White (Er – Hypnosis Counterattack) (2)
How.
How… You know my identity, right?!
Buooooot!!
“Tsk… !?”
Er is taken aback by Vice President Weg’s sudden remarks.
And before Er’s eyes, Vice President Weg’s body immediately swelled up.
A scene of Vice President Wegg’s transformation that I have seen many times.
The old body, which was like a withered old tree, suddenly became alive and the muscles and flesh swelled.
Er manipulated the wings of light that sprouted behind her, and in an instant, he moved behind her, widening the distance between her and her.
However, it seems that Vice President Wegg’s arm was a little faster.
“… Hehe, was it because of this mask? What I couldn’t recognize properly.”
Click…
From Vice President Weg’s hand, the mask that Er had been wearing just a moment ago slipped and fell to her floor.
Just before Er was able to dodge, her vice-chancellor’s hand reached out and took off her magic tool mask.
Er covered her face with one hand, but there was no point in hiding her identity any longer.
“How… That I am…”
“Well? How? Are you curious? “I won’t tell you.”
“… It’s okay. “I don’t even want to know.”
Er removed her hand that was covering her face and spoke calmly.
It’s unfortunate that her identity has become known, but it can’t be helped.
She didn’t think she would be able to hide her identity forever anyway.
However, she just reached the end earlier than expected.
‘Rather than that, what should I do now?’
‘There are two choices… Either defeat this man here, or run away… !’
But strangely enough, Er’s attacks cannot reach him.
Neither the cause nor the reason is known.
I even tried to attack him with magic while I was at a distance, but strangely enough, when I tried to use magic to attack him, the tongue I was chanting stiffened or the magic power dispersed and all failed.
Possibilities that can be thought of include 『Either he has special abilities』 Or 『He was hypnotized himself』.
The former is tricky, but if you think about it well, you can handle it somehow.
If it’s the latter, then your chances of winning are really slim.
And more than anything, I don’t want to believe it… I thought that I had avoided hypnotic modification by paying careful attention in many ways and even receiving help from a collaborator.
Grumble! Grumble! Grumble!
Crash, clank, clank, clank!!
“… !?”
“Now, it’s harder to escape from this, so what do you think?”
A wall made of thick steel plates fell, as if surrounding the hallway where the two people were standing.
Er looked with magic in his eyes and saw that the wall was made of a mineral stronger than simple iron.
It seems to be a special metal that only they use, and not from Earth.
Cutting is not impossible.
However, you need to spend some time concentrating your magic power.
‘I don’t think they will tolerate that.’
I have never seen Vice President Weg’s power in person.
But if you think about his intimidation and the movements he showed a little while ago… It looks like Er will be attacked the moment he shows his back.
The other person is a man who commands countless soldiers and holds a position higher than the generals.
Of course, the position does not directly mean the combat power he has, but if you look at their Mechraq system, which is like a model of survival of the fittest… He would never be a weak man.
―Running away is after creating at least some opportunity.
Otherwise, you will just be caught off guard and overpowered.
And the moment he is suppressed, Er, who cannot harm him now, will no longer be able to do anything… That’s game over.
* * *
“… “Inhale!”
After quickly assessing and calculating the situation, Er summoned a new sword of light and swung it, holding one in each hand.
What is cut is not Vice President Weg, but the unreinforced floor.
Chop, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left!!
Rumbling!!
“Oh… ?!”
From the floor where Er was standing, to the position where Vice President Weg was standing… The floor was cut into pieces.
The bodies of Vice President Weg and Er fell along with the fragmented floor.
The vice president’s body, which fell loudly, was immediately covered in rubble and dust, but Er stopped in the middle of the fall, relying on the wings of light.
There was still a bulkhead on this floor.
I could cut the floor again like this, but I don’t want to miss this opportunity now that Vice President Weg is buried under a pile of rubble.
“【The sublime light of Valhalla! Dwell in my sword now!】”
The sword in Er’s hand shines even brighter.
Then she swung the sword in her hand towards the wall.
―――!!
A loud destruction sound.
At the same time, part of the bulkhead that was preventing Er from escaping was cut off.
As Er flew through the air and kicked the cut wall, part of her wall collapsed, creating a hole large enough for her to enter and exit.
‘Like this, out the window… !’
“Stop right there, er!”
A voice coming from behind.
I thought, who would stop me just because I said that?
Stand tall… !!
“Uh… ?!”
After checking the location of the window, Er’s body, which was flying with the momentum of smashing it with his body, strangely stopped in place.
This was exactly what happened right after the Vice President’s shouting voice was heard.
After a while, Er seemed to have lost even his ability to float and crashed to the floor! And fell down.
“Who knows what will miss? “Did you think you could get away with me with a prank like this?”
“Ouch… My body doesn’t move… ! Why… !”
“Haha, you still haven’t figured it out? Er, I think very highly of you, but even though I don’t know as a six-wheeler, it seems like your intelligence as a human being is a little low? “That’s cute too.”
Vice President Weg lifted himself up, clattering away the debris that was weighing on his body with his four muscular arms.
And then her er came out through her pierced hole, trotting towards her still rolling on her bottom.
Floating in front of him is a translucent holographic window.
It was the 『Hypnotic Controller』 That Erga remembered seeing often.
I don’t want to believe it, but Vice President Weg has now used that controller to hypnotize Er and restrict his movements.
The fact that her attack did not reach Vice Chancellor Weg a moment ago and that she did not cause direct harm was clearly due to the controller and hypnosis.
‘When on earth did hypnosis come to me too? I must have somehow avoided being subjected to hypnotic modification…’
‘Still, we can’t deny the reality that happened right in front of our eyes…’
I have to admit it.
He is clearly under the control of hypnosis, and in this state, it is impossible to attack Vice Chancellor Weg or to escape.
Even if she is lucky enough to get out of the building, Vice President Weg will use that ‘controller’ to manipulate Er’s perception and make her get back on her feet.
As long as he was under the control of hypnosis, Er’s chance of winning was 0%.
‘――With the thought, ‘They must have let their guard down.’
Wow… !
The body that was controlled by the vice president’s orders a moment ago still barely moves.
Therefore, Er was still rolling around on the floor, but he was able to strengthen his hands and hold the sword of light tightly so as not to let go.
It’s really the worst. You yourself are under the control of hypnosis.
But that doesn’t mean there’s no way.
Cookie, who is a very cautious fairy, had already assumed these cases in advance.
‘With the help of the Cookie Fairy, several functions were added to my costume.’
‘One of them… Suppressing or eliminating all kinds of mental foreign substances and interference by injecting magical power.’
‘To put it simply, 『Removal of abnormal status』!’
‘If you use this function, you can escape from the hypnotic bondage, albeit temporarily.’
‘If you’re lucky… I could completely cancel the hypnosis, but it would be a luxury to hope for that now.’
The costume suit’s functions can be activated at any time.
The moment you release your magical power, in less than a second, all status abnormalities will be removed, and you will be able to move freely.
So, come a little closer.
He is confident that he has taken advantage of him using hypnosis, and approaches him defenselessly.
In that way, the moment he reaches the inevitable, unavoidable distance, the function of the suit will be released, the hypnotic bond will be removed, and he will be cut down just like that.
Just in case, I did it quickly so that he couldn’t use his hands, so that he couldn’t be seen… And I will suffocate you with one blow.
‘So come, come… !’
“Oh, now that I think about it, would it be better to tell you this too?”
Vice President Wegg, who was approaching with a leisurely gait, began manipulating the hypnosis controller in his hand again.
Even if there was no need to give a command by voice, the command data entered by Vice President Weg was immediately sent to Er through the hypnosis controller.
And.
Stumbling…
“Ah… ?”
Shake it off!
Er, who was lying face down, looking for an opportunity, his head fell down, and his body lost all strength at once.
Her consciousness fades, and the sword of light created with her magic disappears.
Vice President Weg came trotting towards Er again.
And he stood tall next to her.
“The fairy who helped Er have now joined us.”
“Of course, 『Pure White』… Er’s secret weapon was also exposed. All measures against him have been completed. “Right now Er is completely naked in front of me.”
“Of course, I turned off the ‘status resistance’ function on that costume.”
“… The reason I snuck in here tonight in the first place was because of a hypnotic command… “I can’t remember that either.”
“You probably don’t even remember receiving special enhanced hypnotic modifications to completely subdue ‘Pure White’.”
Er fell down… The slender and light body of 『Pure White』 Seemed to be hugged by Vice President Wegg’s muscular arms.
And just like that, her vice-chancellor walked away again across the hall, holding her.
Although Er used her wits by unexpectedly splitting the floor, leaving her covered in dust here and there.
Nevertheless, there was a hint of joy and excitement that could not be hidden in his gait.
The bulkhead blocking the hallway returned to its original state, and building maintenance robots began to gather in the hallway one by one to repair the damaged facilities…
