Chapter 50 The Unquenchable Flame (5K!)

Kevin didn't know how long it took him to open his blue eyes as wide as possible. He wanted to shout to cover up his fear, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something and he couldn't even make a sound.

He thought of Mei behind him. Wasn't this the time to show his masculinity? "If I turn around now, hug Mei, and slide down the hatch on the other side, both of them can be saved - well, and it can also increase Mei's favor for me."

But when he tried to twist his body, he found that his torso was stiff and he couldn't make any movements.

He realized belatedly that it wasn't that time slowed down, or something else... but at this critical moment, his brain was running fast, and electrons were transmitted between neurons at a speed many times faster than usual, so that his consciousness also temporarily surpassed time...

But consciousness cannot determine matter, just like when he faced the bloody mouth of Yaksha, no matter how his mind struggled, his body could not respond.

So the speed of consciousness was synchronized with reality again, and the abyss continued to move forward, and soon it would swallow Kevin.

Kevin only had time to react to the stress—he didn’t care how deformed his posture was at this time, he just used all his strength to hit Yaksha’s face with the baseball bat.

What a crisp collision sound, Yaksha’s nose was directly twisted, it once again suffered a great mental blow, the originally white exoskeleton turned red due to anger and congestion, it roared, and the saliva it spewed made Kevin soaked like falling into the water.

And its teeth were less than an inch away from Kevin.

It seemed that someone grabbed his lower back, and Kevin was somewhat relieved. From that position, it seemed that Mei wanted to pull him back.

“But how can I be in time... Mei, don’t worry about me and run quickly! Jumping from the other side of the hatch won’t work!”

In despair, he saw a blue light, like a silk thread entwined around Yaksha’s body. The other end of these silk threads was held in the hands of someone/some machine. He suddenly exerted force, and the four translucent threads almost embedded in Yaksha’s flesh and blood, pulling Yaksha out.

"Huh! I'm saved!"

Kevin's legs went soft, and before he could make any celebratory gestures, the helicopter deviated to one side again because of the loss of Yaksha's weight. He couldn't stand steadily for a while, and took two steps back and fell into Mei's arms.

But he was soon punished.

"Ah, it hurts! Mei, I was wrong!"

Mei pulled him up by the ear, and the fuselage had resumed its hovering state.

Mebius ignored the two unreliable high school students, but lay at the door of the cabin, looking at the battle below. Mei and Kevin soon looked over.

On the turbulent sea, two figures, one blue and one red, quickly intertwined together. Even though they were hundreds of meters apart, the people in the helicopter could feel the vibration of the air caused by the collision of the two figures' limbs.

"Boom!"

Mikael and Yaksha collided again, and the sea surface under them instantly sank, and the waves within a radius of nearly 100 meters rolled back, and then both sides retreated rapidly with the reaction force of this touch.

With the advantage of its wings and tail, Yaksha quickly adjusted its body shape while retreating in the air, and turned its whole body to face the sea surface, gradually falling in a crawling posture.

At the moment when it was about to touch the sea surface, frost spread under its feet, turning the place where it landed into an ice field in an instant.

Its sharp claws pierced into the ice surface, which helped it to get rid of the sliding state abruptly. Without waiting for its body to stabilize, it raised its front paw high and slammed it hard on the ice surface again.

The red and yellow wings flapped violently.

The biting cold air turned into hundreds of sharp knives and flew out, turning the raindrops between the sky and the earth into thumb-sized hail. Under the effect of the collapse energy, the sea water near the shore rushed back to Mikael who was still retreating in the air. The cold air and hail surged along with the waves, and wherever the waves passed, they instantly condensed into a thick ice surface.

Mikael calculated the landing place and used the core of the void law to solidify the space, but when he landed on the sea, the cold waves rolled up by Yaksha were only a few feet away from him.

"Tsk!"

He gritted his teeth, and small blue hexagonal matrices lit up in front of him, forming a solid energy barrier. The cold air, hail and waves naturally could not break through this barrier, so they could only flow from both sides of it, bypass Mikael, and merge behind him.

But Mikael seemed to have underestimated the coldness of Yaksha, especially in places with water, especially the drizzle in the sky that kept wetting him.

He gradually found that his joints began to stiffen, and even his thinking became slow.

"Not good..."

It was really a bit difficult for him to fight Yaksha alone in such an unfavorable environment.

But he could not get help. Himiko, Sakura and Aili did not have such a changeable ability as him. They could only take the opportunity to airdrop when the Chaser No. 1 flew over Luluye.

Damn! After all, the Chaser No. 1 was not completed. If it was in an ideal state, it would have thousands of missiles, dozens of rail guns, and small fighter planes that could carry soldiers for mobile operations at any time...

Mikael shook his head and squeezed these unrealistic fantasies out of his mind.

It happened that the huge body of the Chaser No. 1 passed over his head, and the huge shadow made the already dark world even heavier.

Yaksha saw that his attack was successful, and quickly rushed towards Mikael. Since he was not in good condition, Mikael naturally did not intend to resist.

"Well... retreat to buy time, and then use Surtel's high temperature to remove the negative state of freezing and catch it off guard."

The sequelae of high-intensity use of space shuttle have not yet dissipated, and Mikael's head is still aching, so he doesn't really want to use a lot of power again.

But there is really no better way now, so he can only bend his brain cells slightly...

"Hmm!?"

However, when Mikael really wanted to retreat, he found something wrong-why couldn't his legs move!

He looked down and saw that the cold air had already climbed up along the sea water, freezing his lower limbs from the calf in the ice.

"Oh no!"

The eyes darkened, and Yaksha appeared in front of him.

Mikael leaned back, his eyes were bloodshot, but it was too late to do anything at this time.

"Boom!"

The broken ice splashed everywhere, hitting Mikael all over.

But that was not the pain caused by Yaksha's attack.

Between him and Yaksha was a crystal clear pink crystal column.

"Is this... Ellie?"

A pink figure caught his eye. She held a huge crystal rose and quickly stabbed Yaksha's arm from the side.

Yaksha wailed and turned around to slap him, but Ellie was smaller after all. In close combat, she dodged all of Yaksha's attacks while dodging and even managed to control the pink crystal to counterattack.

Mikael also took the opportunity to break free from the shackles of the ice. Seeing that Yaksha's attention was all attracted by Ellie and even dared to turn his back to him, he did a backflip and jumped into the air. His feet took advantage of the solid space. Then, the blue smoothness flowed over his feet together, and they had become two engine nozzles. When the golden tail flame burst out, Mikael turned into a cannonball and shot out.

Yaksha heard the sound of breaking through the air behind him. It was not that it could not react. At least in Mikael's imagination, it was possible that it could use the ability to freeze space to avoid this attack.

But it hadn't used the ability to freeze space for more than ten minutes. It seemed that the previous operation of resisting the railgun had cost it a lot.

Perhaps it could have dodged directly with its physical agility, but Ellie, who was standing in front of it, showed a mysterious smile.

The next moment, Yasha found that he couldn't move at all - just like it had frozen Mikael just now.

The pink crystal exploded in its body, causing its joints to gradually crystallize. It finally used the collapse energy to suppress this trend, and then it felt a pain in its back. The whole collapse beast turned into a meteor, and in a blink of an eye, it crossed several kilometers of sea surface and smashed the castle-style breakwater into pieces.

The material of the castle was very restored stone. After the violent collision, the stones were crushed into powder, and a large amount of dust was thrown into the air, which looked like thick haze from a distance. The endless drizzle glued these dust particles together, giving people a sticky marshmallow texture.

"Boom..."

"Boom..."

"Boom..."

The Yaksha's huge body makes it leave a huge footprint on the stone or green crystal every time it steps on the ground.

Even the two buildings near it seem to be shaking with its footsteps.

Under the dust, the outline of a faint hill gradually appears.

Then the outline is gradually filled in, and the color becomes darker and darker, until its white exoskeleton, pink long ears, blood-red eyes, and one wing with only five wings left are all clearly visible.

Yaksha finally stepped on Luluye Island, thanks to its enemies.

It rubbed its aching back and felt that it could finally release the desire for destruction hidden in its genes.

Especially facing this kind of "forest" built purely by traces of human activities.

But it soon realized that things were not simple.

The green camouflage cloth was lifted, and dozens of mechas controlled by the rest of the fifth team and the Luluye Defense Force surrounded Yaksha in the middle in a crescent shape.

The leading mecha took the lead, and countless micro-missiles and machine guns poured down like a rainstorm.

But when these bullets and missiles approached Yaksha's body, they seemed to be blocked by something and fixed in place, as if they had made a metal cocoon for Yaksha.

The raindrops hit the metal eggshell, and the water stains condensed into cold white frost before they could unfold.

Then the raindrops stopped and turned into hail of varying sizes.

The space froze again.

When Mikael covered his head, wiped his nosebleed, and climbed up the breakwater with the help of Ellie, he saw the missiles and bullets fired by the mechas suddenly returned to themselves along with the hail in the sky.

"It's restored!"

Amidst the roar, dozens of mechas instantly returned to their parts. The vibration caused by the explosion affected the nearest 100-meter-high building. After shaking violently twice, it began to collapse from the root, while the roof was still intact and fell towards Yasha.

Yasha waved his hand to sweep the thick building into stones, but there was nothing behind the building.

Behind the fragments of the roof was the Surtur held high by Himiko and the flames all over the sky.

At the same time, on the right side of Yasha, a thin figure rushed out quickly and was instantly covered by the sharp knife light like a crescent moon.

"Good opportunity!"

The pink crystal spread along the ground and climbed up Yasha's lower limbs.

Mikael also constructed Surtur, and the tip of the knife was jumping with blue flames that were very different from the original.

Four-sided fight!

I can’t beat you if you don’t believe me!

If one of the four of them hits, Yasha will be seriously injured even if he doesn't die.

Flying dragon rides on the face! The advantage is mine! What to lose!

Faced with such a desperate situation, Yaksha has only one way to go: freezing space.

A biting chill spread.

But this feeling is so familiar to Mikael, so familiar that his body can react on its own——

A dazzling golden light flashed across his chest...

The corners of Mikael's mouth curled up - if he could really do it in the frozen space.

"Is it finally over..."

"Uh...ah!!!" A severe pain suddenly came from the brain - the brain has been overloaded for too long and it can't bear it anymore!

This kind of pain is as if someone poked a metal rod into the brain and stirred it up.

"Damn it! It happens at this time!"

The golden light disappeared fleetingly on Mikael's chest. He held his head and knelt on the ground, nosebleeds gushing out. What was even more desperate was——

Only he escaped from the frozen space.

"It's over!"

Yasha's wings flapped, the air flow rolled wildly, and the pink crystals wrapped around its calves instantly shattered, and its long tail drew an arc, grazing Mikael's head.

Himiko and Sakura's bodies flew backwards, smashing three or two crystal tall buildings each. The buildings in Luluye are densely packed and the spacing is too small. The collapse of each building will affect the surrounding properties...

Buildings hundreds of meters high fell like dominoes, and nearly a hundred high-rise buildings were destroyed instantly.

There was no time to worry about Himihu and Sakura, so Mikael quickly turned to look at Ellie. Fortunately, the direction she flew out was the sea. The sea water weakened the impact, only two or three waves fluttered, and then Mikael saw a wave blooming on the sea. A piece of pink crystal means that Ellie should be fine.

Yasha turned around slowly, his fly-like eyes fixed on Mikael.

Mikael struggled to get up and held his hand in vain. However, the hilt of Shirter's sword was only halfway constructed when he felt the heartbreaking pain in his mind again.

"Gululu...gu!" Yasha looked very happy, and the corners of his mouth split into a bright red, as if he was laughing at Mikael's inability to calculate.

"Bang..." There was a tiny movement behind Yasha, so small that even Yasha didn't notice it.

Mikael looked around without leaving any trace, and it turned out that the cockpit door of a broken mecha was opened.

In fact, the cockpit is just a decoration. In most cases, any commander in their right mind will not let anyone enter the mecha to drive. The mecha wreckage on the ground also confirms this.

But then, Mikael's eyes suddenly widened to their maximum size.

Someone actually climbed out, and that familiar blond hair was——

Yasha seemed to notice Mikael's surprised gaze and wanted to look back. Mikael quickly constructed a smoke bomb and hit Yasha on the head - this was the limit of what he could do now.

The smoke bomb attracted Yasha's attention, but Mikael, who hid aside, could see clearly.

The legs of the figure who crawled out of the mecha had been crushed into powder, leaving only a little bit of flesh stuck to his thighs.

When Yasha wasn't paying attention, he slowly climbed up to its tail.

Then, a young man named Alfred von Lichtenstein carefully took out a portable syringe.

The needle was firmly inserted into Yasha's tail, and the serum flowed in.

Yaksha quickly went crazy, and a large amount of Honkai energy seemed to escape from its body, solidifying into purple branches behind it, which were hundreds of meters high.

But there is nothing it can do to stop this trend.

It waved its tail angrily and wildly, beating Alfred's increasingly cold body to pieces.

But this doesn't help at all.

The only pity is that the serum is a drug made for humans. It cannot completely kill Yasha, but can only greatly weaken its Honkai energy.

Mikael wiped away the sticky nosebleed, took the opportunity to absorb a large amount of Honkai energy, and after recovering for a while...

Shirter appeared in its hands again.

No more this time...

Mikael was wielding a giant sword, his expression was frantic, just like Yaksha's. The thick, edgeless sword easily sliced ​​off Yasha's calf, causing it to lose its support and fall sideways on the crystal ground, creating a huge cracked crater.

Then, Mikael quickly cut off its wings, then its tail, its claws, and its remaining legs...

Until finally, its head was chopped off with a sharp blade made of blazing fire.

He kept the ears, and then burned everything with fire.

Sparks splashed on Alfred's broken body. Mikael stepped forward with a big sword, trying to wipe away the flame and leave it to this person whom he had not had time to interact with and did not know how to evaluate. A pile of corpses.

But he unexpectedly discovered that Alfred was still breathing.

His originally handsome face had become distorted into something unbearable to see, with purple lines crawling from his eye sockets to his chin, like tear lines. The long blond hair tied behind his head has been soaked in blood red. He used his only remaining right eye to squint at Mikael. This expression looked exactly like Harris's - perhaps, people can only show their strength when they are approaching the end. There will be true equality, because then, their expressions will be the same.

His lips moved slightly, and Mikael lay on the ground, close to him, and could vaguely hear his words: "My... drawer... letter... photo..."

Mikael nodded quickly. He instinctively wanted to ask if the other party had any last words, but the words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't spit them out.

"Have I... redeemed...?"

He didn't get a response.

A ray of light suddenly flashed in Alfred's one eye. It was probably the so-called last flicker of light, or it could be that he saw a figure he had been pursuing before he died.

His voice became clearer: "Fire-stay-below... afraid of the cold..."

The voice disappeared.

Alfred von Lichtenstein, his appearance was like a meteor that was not noticed for a moment. When Mikael noticed him, his starlight was already shaky and then extinguished.

But because there were not many intersections, Mikael had no idea about him.

He even thought he should be a bad guy.

He even felt that such an ending was too abrupt for him.

So he felt that he would not have pity or be moved.

But a heavy thought was finally weighing on his heart.

The sea breeze gradually rose, and the continuous autumn rain finally turned into a torrential rain at this moment.

However, no matter how heavy the rain was, it could not extinguish the burning flames.

The flames did not go out until the morning of the third day after the accident.

No one gave Kevin the heart, and the old ancestor felt very sad
