Chapter 121: After the Broken Wings
The roaring mech drew a sleek curve across the sky, pulling a pitch-black trail behind it.
The crowd had just recovered from the tension of getting rid of the "Red Ark", and it was inevitable that they would lack some vigilance against this sudden threat. By the time the helmsman hastily reacted and twisted the hull to avoid itβit was too late.
The black meched slid lightly to the side of the El Sejo - it was through this space that the people on board could see the appearance and identity of the comer. The mech was a completely modified version of the "fantasy music" that everyone had seen in the dungeon, removing some bulky parts and adding to the excellent performance of this soaring in the air. And the one who is controlling this mecha is none other than the "Sword Emperor" Levi, who did not show up in the attack on the royal city before.
"I'd like to see...... How do you deal with this broken wings of hope? Levy's deep voice was silenced by the roar of the mechs and ships, and only he could clearly feel the presence. The transformed and reinforced mecha, caught off guard, was like a sharp blade cut into the tofu, cutting through the left side of the white wing, and for a while, the flames were everywhere, and the sound of cracking was endless.
"Shock Prepared!" Although the attack came very suddenly, Yulia still managed to achieve the judgment and calmness of a commander, "Helmsman, please do your best to maintain the balance of the ship!" Observer, look around, where is that mech now!? β
"Disappeared from view...... It is not known if it was escaped or if the radar was damaged. Looking at the screen in front of him, which was already motionless, the observer shook his head, the system of the El Seyu, except for the control system, was designed as one, and the fracture of the left side of the ship may have destroyed the basic performance of some spaceships.
As for the helmsman, although he had the greatest consumption in the process of dodging the "Red Ark" just now, he still showed amazing backbone and will, dragging his exhausted body to pull the ship back on track, which was almost overturned. The spaceship staggered and crash-landed.
ββ¦β¦ So be it. Levi, who was floating in the air, watched this scene and gave up his intention to continue the pursuit. After all, the professor hadn't ordered them to be killed like that, andβeven though LΓ©vy didn't want to admit it, he really didn't want to kill Joshua and Estelle just like thatβand besides, it occurred to him for no reason that with that strange boy on the ship, maybe he wouldn't be able to kill them all if he attacked the ship repeatedly.
"Forget it...... There's no point in thinking about that now. He shook his head, dispelling the shaky thoughts in his heart, "It's time to go on the next mission." β
The black mechanical dragon once again crossed a killing trajectory and broke through the air.

"Hmm...... Nothing is a big deal. Looking at the left side of the ship, which had been cut by the robotic arm and was already in a mess, Dr. Russell's face was not abnormal, "The core of the guiding mechanism has not been damaged, and the anti-gravity mechanism and the closed mechanism are also good. It is nothing more than that it has destroyed the balance of the body itself, plus cut off a pipeline of the power system. With the help of the ship's unique spare parts, it should be repaired in no time. β
"That's good......" Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, if the spaceship could not be repaired, it would be completely bottomless to explore this city in the sky full of unknowns.
"Compared to that, how are everyone's injuries?" Heliga didn't really care about this - even if the ship was completely scrapped, he still had a way to send a large number of people present to the surface - but the mana consumption was probably a problem, and I don't know if it could be done after smashing the conspiracy of the association.
"Drag the helmsman's ......blessing," Mura sighed, who was also a crew operator and had a close look at the helmsman's brilliant performance, "the landing was fairly smooth, so there were only a few minor bruises and bumps, and there were no non-combat attrition." However, he probably consumed too much energy after that super level performance, and now he is in a coma. β
"That's amazing...... Olivier muttered to himself, at this moment he was already preparing for the construction of the "Karejas", and he was beginning to understand the things related to maneuvering the ship, and he had an expert understanding of the amazing performance of the helmsman on the El Saiyu just now, "but in this case, let's first find out the situation in the vicinity, and complete some ship repairs as much as we can, and then start exploring." β
Olivier's suggestion was unanimously adopted. Then everyone went their separate ways. The crew and Tida, who still had some physical strength, went to help the doctor repair the ship, while several powerful people acted alone, probing the surrounding situation in all directions, and came to the conclusion that everyone seemed to have fallen to the periphery of the floating city. As for Kevin and Haliga...... I went back to the room inside the ship.
"How? Have you thought about it? Kevin said eagerly.
"Don't think about it. Let's join forces with you before Wiseman is dealt with. "Heliga has figured it out - getting rid of Wiseman is something he wants to do anyway, so why not be able to take a lead in the church? After that, just leave it to yourself laterβeven if you don't like it, the church can't eat it. The power of the "Dragonborn", even if the church does not know the depth, will not dare to anger itself easily.
"Okay." Why didn't Kevin know what Helliga was thinking? It's just that the order from above is so, and he can't do anything, "In that case...... I'll show you this. As he spoke, Kevin quietly pulled out a slender box from his body, and mysteriously opened a little gap.
"This is...... Salt? Helriga smelled a slight salty smell coming from the box, "Is there anything special about it?" β
"I told you about the Salt Stake and Wiseman's origins...... It is a special crossbow arrow made from the remains recovered by the church after the outbreak of the "Salt Pile", which is so powerful that it can turn the target into a pile of fine salt...... This is the hole card that the boss gave me for this mission. β
"Huh...... The obsession of destroying oneself by the ancient relics that destroyed one's hometown, this ending is malicious enough for Wiseman...... It seems that the people who gave this command in your church do hate it in every sense of the word...... I see, but what do you mean by showing me this? β
"It's just to give you a bottom in your heart." Kevin shrugged, "If there's any special way you don't need it, I'd be happy to save it." After all, the wreckage of the "Pile of Salt" is a scarce resource that can be used a little less. β
"Well...... I haven't figured out what I'm going to be like when I'm facing Wiseman. Heiliga shook her head, "Who knows who will be around him?" Or has he already started harnessing the energy of the Ring? None of this can be said for sure. β
"None of that matters." Kevin replied. At this time, in the room where the two were located, there was a knock on the door.
"Kevin, Hyliga, are you all here?" Joshua's somewhat dull voice came, "About the incident I said earlier...... It's a bit abrupt, but ...... Now, is that okay? β
