Chapter 671 The Glittering Iris
Chapter 671 The Glittering Iris
"Watch out on the left!"
"It's about to fire!"
"BOOM!!!"
Violent explosions, tense drumbeats, and rousing music.
And then there was the barrage of magic cannons weaving a giant net of beams in the air, the dense anti-aircraft barrage, and the deep blue comet streaking across the sky as it plummeted down—
"Whoosh!!"
With the engine roaring and the vector nozzles spewing out scorching air waves, the steel monster was suddenly pushed back a great distance just before it made contact with the deep blue comet. The Hellcat punched the ground, missing its target, and the shockwave kicked up a cloud of dust.
The continuous fire from the magic cannons and anti-aircraft fire instantly tore through the dust. Before Qiu Gui and her three companions could even deploy their attack formation, their mechs were suppressed by the machine gun fire and forced to deploy in defense, searching for possible angles to attack.
As the crimson phantom appeared, the steel monster quickly took the initiative from being completely suppressed at the beginning. Its agility increased significantly, and it made a series of dodging movements and offensive stances that were completely out of character for a creature of its size. Even its anti-aircraft firepower became much fiercer.
Not only can it utilize the full speed of the vector nozzles for maneuvering, but it can even perform high-difficulty maneuvers such as backflips and one-handed side flips—these maneuvers might be commonplace for ordinary magical girls, and even ordinary beastmen could easily perform them, but if they were to appear on a giant robot that is a full thirty meters tall…
"That would be a bit scary."
Bai Ling floated beside the iris and muttered softly.
Faced with increasingly intense anti-aircraft fire, the two stargazers were hit by stray bullets and fled in panic, only escaping behind the magical shield of the iris flower. Bai Ling looked at her tail, which had been grazed by a stray bullet and caught fire while protecting the fox spirits around her. Although she quickly extinguished the fire with magic, it would take at least several days for her charred tail fur to grow back.
"Damn it! If this keeps up, the Four Seasons Machine God's energy is about to run out!" Qiu Gui said through gritted teeth, looking at the power slots on the control panel that were about to run out.
To maintain suppressive firepower, the combined mechs' various magic cannons and magic missiles never stopped firing. However, even combined mechs built using the rules of the mental world still require energy. If this continues, they will eventually be forced into a passive position due to exhaustion of magic power...
"We need to take this out of control quickly... Super Magic Beam! Prepare to fire!" "Now??"
Xia Jin, who was in charge of artillery fire, asked in surprise, but she also knew in her heart that this was the only way to gain a decisive advantage at present. She could only smirk as she controlled the mecha to raise the giant magic cannon in her hand, and the cannon muzzle accumulated surging magic power, pointing directly at the steel monster suppressed by the firepower of the iris flower.
We can use this move to defeat the enemy in one strike. As long as we can gain a key advantage, we can rely on the firepower of the irises to completely eliminate it.
"...That was too hasty."
Hellcat leaped back into the sky from the crater it had created on the ground, glanced down at the combined mechs on the ground that were charging up their ultimate attack beams, frowned slightly, and muttered something under its breath.
Unleashing a powerful attack before the opponent is rendered incapable of resistance is a cardinal sin in any situation, especially since this steel monster clearly has other tricks up its sleeve...
Fine, since Qiu Gui and the others want to fight like this, I might as well cooperate with them and make a scene!
Thinking of this, Hellcat swooped down and accelerated, transforming once again into a deep blue comet falling from the sky, smashing a second blow at the steel monster. As expected, Monster 12 dared not take the cat's punch from the sky head-on, and decisively chose to use the vector acceleration that had just been shown, using a side maneuver to avoid Hellcat's attack.
But the moment it landed, the force it took to balance its posture caused it to stiffen for a split second. Qiu Gui immediately seized this perfect opportunity, and the giant cannon in her hand spewed out a powerful beam of light, engulfing the steel monster that couldn't dodge in time!
explosion.
Flames roared, dust filled the sky, and the steel monster was completely enveloped by the beam of the magic cannon. Even the blood-red phantom behind it seemed to be shattered by the blast, disappearing into the dust.
"Got it!" "Well done!"
Bai Ling and Yue Tianxin clapped and cheered, and the background music requested by the Sky Center Moon Fox ended and faded out at that moment, giving a sense of destiny of defeating the enemy with one blow.
"What a brilliant strike! As always, Miss Qiugui displayed her extremely keen ability to seize opportunities, grasping this superb chance to attack and hitting Monster 12 with her Super Magic Beam!"
Heart Moon Fox's commentary echoed in the air, praising the spectacular mecha-monster battle that had just taken place.
Qiu Gui let out a long breath, and the combined mecha lowered its arms. All its magical energy had been exhausted in that last shot, and it had now entered a low-power charging state, unable to make any more moves.
Iris, who witnessed all of this, narrowed her eyes and did not retract her Starry Shadow and Twin Magic Cannon. Instead, she stared intently at the spreading smoke and dust.
"Strange," the iris murmured to itself.
Even though the monster was hit by Qiu Gui and the others' super magic cannon, why can I still feel the magical energy fluctuations emanating from the dust?
There's a difference in the way Starry Night perceives magic compared to ordinary magical girls, which might be why Aki and the others haven't reacted yet? Or perhaps the magic cannon just now completely exhausted the combined mecha's energy, which is why they haven't made a move...?
The worries in my heart turned into reality in the blink of an eye.
As the dust settled, the monster knelt on the ground, its main armor completely destroyed by the super magic beam. The roaring engine inside was also badly damaged, its light dim and threatening to go out at any moment.
But instead of exploding and dissipating like Monster 11, it raised its head in a half-kneeling posture and looked straight at the Super Galaxy Season Machine God, which had lost its ability to move after firing a shot in the distance.
"What...?" "It can still move...?" "Hellcat! Find a way to smash it!"
Amidst gasps of surprise, Iris's suggestion stood out. The deep blue magical girl immediately flew to the front of the damaged engine core, gathering her strength for a powerful attack, intending to annihilate the battered monster on the spot.
But just as the cat punch was charging up, the steel spine behind the mech, which had been tightly locked together, suddenly cracked and flew off with a sound:
"Pfft—"
"?!"
Scorching hot gases billowed out, the tightly fastened armor plates opened from the inside, and a pair of mechanical hands reached out, grabbing the extinguished heat sinks on the mech's shoulders, revealing its true form from within this damaged steel body—
"Whoa..."
Seeing this, Hellcat remembered the whispered words a certain fox had told him before he went to sleep last night, and a smile appeared on his face as he couldn't help but show his delight at seeing such an unexpected surprise.
Meanwhile, Qiu Gui, Iris Flower, and the others watching from the sidelines were filled with terror. Even the live stream chat was flooded with comments like "Holy crap!" and "It looks like something really powerful!" as they followed Bai Ling's camera to the steel object that was gradually revealing itself.
【Molten Iron Heart☆Fantasy Witch】
The golden-haired fox girl grinned and chuckled.
"Hehe, let them see how powerful you are, you fantasy witch."
"It's a witch?!" Bai Ling and Yue Tianxin exclaimed in horror.
"Don't be afraid, there will always be a way."
Iris was not surprised at all. As she spoke, she silently set up the magic cannon and aimed it at the new witch that had emerged from the steel monster's body.
"...Next, it's hell."
The girl murmured to herself, drifting incredibly high in her mental world.
