Chapter 673 – Escape
-No problem! Bang! Bang!
Loud roars and shock waves emanate from the battle between black reinforced armor and Besmore.
Besmore was fighting against a massive weapon that was twice as big as himself without being pushed back, but Gregory’s face, who was watching the battle between the two, was seriously frozen.
Originally, Gregory had planned to leave this place to Besmore and move to Helena’s seal when the game was decided.
However, the situation went completely opposite to what was expected.
It was only for a short time that Basmore was in good spirits. The sight of his bloodshot forehead shows that he has no time to spare.
At first glance, it seemed like a tense battle, but the only one that was fierce was Bassmore.
Compared to Basmore, there was a sense of freedom in the movements of the black reinforced armor.
Gregory also thought that the unidentified black reinforced armor was not easy… But he had no idea that it would be powerful enough to overwhelm Besmore.
Although Beth More is said to be living in exile in Karaz, he is a high-ranking combat officer with one of the highest combat skills in the military.
In Zephyria’s army, except for the general level, there was almost no one who could overpower him.
The opponent was using a weapon called reinforced armor, but this made no sense.
No, it doesn’t make sense because it’s reinforced armor.
Reinforced armor can be said to be a minor version of the magic weapon that lies between the reinforcement suit and the magic weapon.
It is a weapon that only soldiers, not officers, ride.
There were limits to the magic cores and systems that could be installed in reinforced armor, and reinforced armor did not properly reflect the superhuman reaction speed of a high-magic attribute rank ability.
Therefore, it could be said that reinforced armor reduces the combat ability of high-ranked players.
Combat officers don’t board horse-powered aircraft for nothing.
However, the movements of the reinforced armor that Basmore is dealing with are unusual. It is not a movement that can be seen with normal reinforced armor.
‘It doesn’t seem like a product with good performance…’
The reason Gregory thought so was because of its rough appearance, as if a glove had been roughly cut.
It is not strange to judge the performance of a weapon based on its appearance.
The more expensive and high-performing the equipment, the more resources and high-quality personnel are required.
Even if you are a manufacturer who prioritizes the performance of weapons, it is natural to want the items you worked hard to create to look stylish, and you also pay a lot of attention to the appearance during the final stage.
What this means is that the better the weapon’s performance, the nicer its appearance.
Even if it is a mass-produced weapon, it does not have such a crude form.
The reason why such a weapon shows such amazing movements…
‘Speaking of pilot abilities… Why did a guy like that get on board such reinforced armor…’
It occurred to me that he was trying to hide his identity, but Gregory remained calm.
Currently, the suspect has been clearly narrowed down.
Rebellion, Helena Liberation Front…
And a man named Bakra and a female inmate named Nehru.
It is not difficult to steal the identity of less than 10 people.
In such a situation, would it be meaningful to hide one’s identity?
And Gregory did not understand this situation.
Why would someone with the power to overwhelm Besmore abandon his wealth and fame and do something like this?
“…”
There is no way to resolve the question now.
In any case, the person controlling that black reinforced armor is no different from a traitor who rebelled against the Zephyria army.
Not only did he oppose the military with a suspicious weapon, but he even touched Helena’s seal.
Due to Hellion’s nature of liking talented people, there is a possibility that you will be forgiven if you pledge loyalty, but that is up to Hellion to decide.
Gregory thought that he should put aside the rising questions and resolve the current situation first.
This is because the situation in Bassmore has become increasingly worse.
“Besmore! Take out the magic device!”
Gregory said as he saw Besmore being pushed around without a plan.
“Damn it! There’s no room!”
Basmore’s voice was urgent.
If you take out the magic device, there will be a gap, even if it is only for a moment.
The gap is less than 0.1 second.
However, if I tried to board the magic machine without thinking about the current situation, it seemed like Besmore would be cut off somewhere by the large sword of the black reinforced armor.
Basmore’s specialty is close combat.
But it became poison.
As the battle was fought so closely, there seemed to be no time to summon the demonic equipment.
Gregory decided to create an opening for Bassmore to take out the magic device.
A dagger was taken out from subspace.
It is a rather large dagger with a length of up to 30 cm.
There was a mysterious pattern engraved on the face of the sword.
The dagger was a special weapon custom-made by Gregory at the Military Weapons Research Institute when he was commissioned as a high-ranking combat officer.
The dagger Gregory held in his hand turned pure white. He threw the dagger, which was so incandescent that the blade could not be seen,
The dagger drew a white parabola like a laser and flew to where Reinforced Armor and Bassmore were fighting.
The dagger, which rises to a certain point and then falls, begins to rapidly accelerate.
The black reinforced armor, which noticed the presence of a dagger targeting itself, deviated from the trajectory of the falling dagger with minimal movement.
But the dagger also changed direction accordingly.
It is an unavoidable attack.
The black reinforced armor lifted the great sword held in her hand and blocked the dagger with a wide blade like an iron plate.
-Boom!!
A white explosion occurs.
Due to the strong impact from above, the black reinforced armor that was engaged in aerial combat with Bassmore fell to the ground.
A large cloud of dust rises from the impact of the black reinforced armor falling.
Gregory did not have the complacent thought that the person riding the reinforced armor was hit by this attack. However, Bassmore, who was fighting the guy, found time to summon the Demon General.
Bassmore also seemed to have the same thoughts as Gregory and quickly summoned his magic machine from subspace.
Bassmore is instantly sucked into the chest of a red demon with a smooth body that protrudes from subspace.
It is an epic level magic device that only high-ranking combat officers or higher can ride.
Gregory, who saw this, also summoned his magic machine and boarded it.
I didn’t intend to attack together.
The joint attack must also work well.
Moreover, Gregory has never trained enough to join forces with Bassmore, and they do not get along well.
And…
I guess Beth More’s pride is pretty hurt right now.
He probably isn’t thinking about a joint attack.
That would be unlikely since he had even summoned the magic machine, but… Gregory was planning to prepare for an emergency.
Basmore, who was on board the magic machine, fell straight towards the place where the black reinforced armor had crashed.
Before I knew it, there was a huge ax in Bassmore’s magic flag.
The black reinforced armor, as expected, stood tall on the ground in good condition.
As if Beth More’s magic machine had been waiting, it used the force of her fall and slashed her with its axe.
20 meters of magic equipment and reinforced armor that is only about 4 meters long.
The situation has turned.
It looks like a 20-ton dump truck crashing into a motorcycle.
At that time, a change occurred in the great sword of the black reinforced armor. The tip of her weapon swells larger than her body.
“Hammer?”
The head was like a sledgehammer.
It’s probably not a function of reinforced armor.
As far as I know, there is no mounted weapon with that kind of function, even among magic weapons.
‘Is this his ability?’
It doesn’t seem to be a simple shape change.
Before Gregory could even ask such a question, the hammer of the reinforced armor and the ax of the magic weapon collided.
-Aaaaah!!!
The giant ax and hammer of the magician collide and a large shock wave spreads around.
A blue force field was formed on the Pantheran barrier that was some distance away, blocking the shock wave.
“What?!”
Gregory was astonished at the result of the collision of the two weapons.
More than half of the ax blade of the Besmore magic weapon was shattered upon collision with the (hammer) of the reinforced armor.
-Thump…
Besmore’s demonic spirit staggered backwards, clutching the shattered axe.
The shock must have been so great that several of Majanggi’s fingers holding the ax were misaligned.
The hammer held by the black reinforced armor extends. A large sword was created that made you wonder how it was being held. And the black reinforced armor swung the stretched giant sword sideways.
-Boo!
-Ujijik!!
The two legs of the red horseman were roughly cut.
“Crazy!! This, this…”
Gregory was shocked and opened his mouth without realizing it.
The magic weapon and gloves are not things that can be broken that easily. The external armor of the magic weapon, which is protected by a shield generated from the magic energy core, cannot be penetrated by any reasonable attack power.
However, that black reinforced armor cut off the legs of an epic level magic machine as easily as if it were crushing tofu.
Gregory felt like his common sense was being shattered.
‘Is this possible if you are a superior-level magic machine pilot who is said to have the peak power in Zephiria? You can produce results like that with reinforced armor?’
I wasn’t sure.
‘Really… A force unknown to the military was operating in secret in Zephiria?’
It was not an ordinary thing to overwhelm even a high-ranking officer’s epic level magic weapon.
『Gregory!!』
Gregory came to his senses after hearing Basmore’s urgent radio call.
While Gregory was briefly distracted by a situation that went beyond his common sense, Besmore’s magic weapon was being torn apart by the great sword of the black reinforced armor.
His limbs are flying off, and his head is being torn off like a toy.
『Gregory! What are you doing! Help me!!』
“…”
‘… Will I be able to deal with this guy if I join in?’
Fierce energy erupts from the thrusters on Gregory’s magic machine’s back. But for some reason, Gregory’s aircraft moved in the opposite direction, rather than towards Bassmore.
『H-Gregory?! Uh, where are you going!!』
『Bessmore. Sorry. This is not betrayal. It is inevitable for the future of Zephyria. If we both die here, there will be no one to alert us to that dangerous presence. Fight fiercely like a soldier! Bessmore! I will definitely avenge you!』
“No! This… Bastard…!!! Wow!』
Gregory left Basmore’s desperate screams behind him, accelerated the magic machine’s engine to maximum power, and quickly walked away from the battlefield.
I wonder if the black reinforced armor will come after me? I felt uneasy, but fortunately, I didn’t feel any trace of someone chasing me.
Gregory breathed a sigh of relief and quickly headed towards Karaz, mourning his fallen comrade in his heart.
