Chapter 510 Puppet Guard
"Lumiel?"
Looking at the 'girl' who was dragged up by his magic, Ronald frowned slightly.
Although the appearance is exactly the same as when he saw it, there is an indescribable sense of dissonance in this Lumil, just like the uncanny valley effect caused by robots.
Think again about how the other party was able to hand over his real name to Moissan Paper...
If nothing else, this should not be Lumil's true identity.
While Ronald was sizing him up, Lumil, who was controlled in the air, continued to speak:
"Mr. Ronald, it seems that you have also figured out that my current body is indeed not a normal human body. "
After Lumil's words came out, Ronald immediately asked in a solemn tone and mockingly:
"I'm afraid not only is this body not human, but you yourself are not necessarily human, right?" "
..."
Lumil's expression paused, showing a trace of cowardice. Disappeared completely:
"Do you need to be concerned about this kind of thing?"
"No one else knew what was going on that night at White Bank Castle, but I understand what happened to the magic fluctuations in your body. Ronald Adler, don't think that I am still the same person as before. The weakling you ravaged. The reason I want to return to the Springs is to avenge you, that woman, and the [Nine Rings Secret Society]!" "..." I said this as if I was the
villain
. .
Staring at Lumil, who looked a little excited in front of him, Ronald complained about the other party's speech in his mind, and also organized some words to test: "Of course I know this." "And I also know that if
you
dare to release the news in the city, The purpose is to lure me here. Now that I'm standing here, and with this kind of substitute here today, it's time for you to take action, right?" "..." After hearing
this
, Lumil's expression changed.
Ronald confirmed his guess in his heart.
This matter is actually not difficult to understand.
Lumil returned to the Springs. In order to protect himself as much as possible, he should have remained anonymous, and this was also a choice with no harm at all.
But the actual result was that she chose to reveal her real name.
Although it is still quite difficult to trace her traces, in the end it was Lumil who was exposed.
The truth about this choice.
It's only possible that this guy is trying to achieve a certain purpose!
Knowing the name 'Lumiel', being able to persevere and even put in a lot of effort, and even combined with the external influence of the [Twelve Witches] sending people...the
purpose of Lumil's risky behavior.
Probably the only solution is to lure Ronald here.
After analyzing Lumil's behavior in his mind, Ronald continued to provoke:
"Why, you haven't taken action?"
"You have already taken safety measures to this point, do you still plan to continue chatting with me?"
" ..."
"Ronald! Don't think you can escape unscathed today!"
Ronald mocked him one after another, and even revealed his true intention. Lumil's expression was downcast and full of hatred, and then he raised his right hand high and waved it downward.
Brush -
Along with Lumil's movement, a wave of magic power spread from the ground.
There was no prelude, no sign of the spell starting.
Ronald thought for a moment and realized that this was an ambush prepared by the other party. Records from the Bureau of Investigation say that very powerful spellcasters from certain schools can prepare spells in advance and hide them seamlessly.
Wait until you really need the spells.
It can be activated through some specific actions or settings.
This special arrangement can often bring about unexpected surprise effects, thereby quickly and effectively striking the enemy.
Looking slightly downward, Ronald was naturally observing the true effect of Lumil's spell.
Ronald has not forgotten that Lumil's spell mastery speed is far superior to that of the natives of this world. He lost the "Divine Comedy - Purgatory" and was imprisoned by Heloise for a long time... So in the only time
left in the next few months.
Lumir, a 'monster' who can also learn original spells at an incredible speed, what kind of abilities has he gained now?
Soon, Ronald's doubts were answered.
The location on the ground where magic appears, whether it is the ground or the wall, inside the manor or in the wilderness, or even in scattered trees and ponds. Regardless of location or terrain, wooden dolls whose bodies are entirely made of wood crawl out of nothingness, and in the blink of an eye, they are everywhere in the mountains and plains.
The moment he saw these puppets, Ronald's pupils shrank.
The main color of bright red and the wooden body, especially the flintlock musket held in the hands, are clearly the puppet guards in fairy tales!
As for the other...
these puppet guards created by Lumil, their movements were swift and completely inconsistent with the puppet structure. Less than two seconds after they appeared on the ground, they raised their guns in unison, targeting Ronald in the air!
Faced with this situation.
Ronald also made choices in the rapidly changing reality.
"Come here!"
First, he manipulated the spell to throw Heidi, who was innocently implicated, far away. Then he directly pulled the immobile Lumil closer, and pulled it down until it was directly under his body.
Bang bang bang bang bang -
the next second, a series of dense flintlock shots sounded.
Heidi, who was thrown far away by Ronald, happened to be in the air to see this scene clearly.
As a magical creation, the puppet guard has no chance of missing the target when it comes to shooting accurately. The countless puppet guards present fired an equally countless number of bullets, all of which hit Ronald at the same time.
As a result, Lumil was miserable.
Being held directly under Ronald as a shield, the bullets from these puppets hit her body immediately. This is the naked reality. The bullet fired will not change its power depending on the identity of both parties.
Lumil, who was still shouting with Ronald just now, was shot into a hornet's nest by countless bullets in an instant. The bullets were so numerous and powerful that they even came to Ronald after penetrating Lumil's body.
If not for the protection of protective spells.
I'm afraid that even with Lumil as a buffer, Ronald's own condition will not be much better.
This...is this the battle of the original code holders?
Heidi subconsciously looked at the crowd of puppet guards on the ground, with a self-deprecating smile on her lips.
Even if there are only a few of these puppet guards.
It would take a lot of effort for her to solve it herself.
Boom——
Suddenly, the dazzling light and the sound of explosion attracted the depressed Heidi to look up.
In the distance where Ronald was flying, a sudden change occurred again, and at the same time, Heidi's self-mockery was interrupted directly.
