Arknights Welcome to Terra Continent

Chapter 37 The battle on the rooftop

"Sir Chen, it's not good. The knocked down integration movement and the dust scattered in the air have all produced this change!"

“How much of the integration movement has changed?”

"All! And the integration movement lingering outside the building has also started to take action. They are rushing towards the building and constantly attacking the security facilities we just controlled!"

Chen's hand slowly touched Chi Xiao on his waist, and whispered: "Give me the order to deal with the enemies around you first. Just leave it to me alone."

Before the Guards Bureau member could leave, new news came through: "Sir Chen! Our attacks are completely unable to harm these integrated movements that have stood up again. They... they ate the explosion head-on! Still unscathed!"

Chen stabbed the sword in her hand at the herd in front of her. Before she could pull out the sword, the wound had healed and her flesh and blood had grown back.

Chen pulled hard to pull out the sword blade that had penetrated the body of the herd, and Mephisto's mocking voice came to her ears again.

"The wounds will heal, the skin will harden, and life will return. Sir, your weapons cannot deal with my guards at all. I can see clearly that your hand just touched another sword."

"Is that your trump card? At least it's not a decoration, hahaha."

Chen ignored Mephisto's ridicule. She calmly opened the communication and said: "Members of the Guards Bureau, take care of yourselves and focus on blocking. Don't come up to support me!"

"understand!"

Chen turned off the communication, and Mephistopheles noticed something strange about Chen.

"How come the dust sticks to your body? Sir, no one knows my Origin Stone skills better than me."

"It turns out that the high-ranking officer of the Dragon Gate Guard Bureau, who claims to be the guardian of the Dragon Gate, is actually..."

"Infected person?"

"Hahahahaha, I don't know what the citizens of Longmen will think if they find out. I guess they won't throw you to work in a mine in the ice field."

Chen put away the sword in his hand, took a deep breath, stared into Mephisto's eyes and said, "Yes, I am indeed infected, but this does not conflict with my belief in protecting the Dragon Gate."

Her hand touched Chi Xiao and continued: "This sword was not originally designed to deal with people like you. In any case, you are not worthy of me pulling out this sword."

"But it's time for you to pay the price for what you did to Dragon Gate and to all the innocent people in Chernobog."

Chen found that Chi Xiao was still dormant in the scabbard, unable to pull it out, "But, you have to drink blood today, Chi Xiao!"

Seeing Sir Chen's movements, Mephistopheles shouted: "Faustus! Stop him! Herd, attack!"

The crossbow bomb exploded in advance in the air, and the herd next to Chen was cut into two halves.

"Is this a slash? No, no, this is a spell. It's not just a sword, it's a spell-casting unit."

A trace of astonishment flashed across Mephisto's face, but he soon thought it through and said with a smile: "Sir, the powerful spell not only detonated Faust's crossbow bomb in advance, but also completely destroyed me. formation, the scratches spread from the first guard’s neck to in front of me.”

"If you had taken a few more steps forward, I would have been torn in half by you, and not even Faust could have stopped you."

Chen raised Chixiao and said, "You won't be so lucky next time."

After listening to Sir Chen's speech, Mephistopheles laughed again: "But unfortunately, your secret has been exposed. Sir, your spell range is limited, but you can't attack me."

"A poor trick cannot withstand a second performance."

"Oh, the rooftop is only so small, how can you retreat to it?" Chen gradually approached Mephistopheles.

"Faust." There was no trace of panic on Mephisto's face. He ordered with a smile: "Let her see what real magic is."

"I know your location clearly. There is no trace of the exposed sniper... huh!"

Mephistopheles smiled: "Hahahaha, that's really impressive. Chief Chen, can you chop up any kind of crossbow bullet? And just like before, I didn't even see your sword movement clearly. , this is really troublesome.”

"But." The expression on Mephisto's face turned into a ferocious smile: "How many crossbow bullets can you catch next? Ten rounds? Forty rounds? One hundred rounds?"

"But, what about the fragments? What about the impact? What about the Origin Stone skills contained in the crossbow bullets? Can you block them all?"

"And, do you think your men can survive until that time?"

"No, they can't. They can't even survive until you die. They will die before you do."

"Before they died, would they complain that their commander didn't come to save them?"

"Probably not. After all, their commander will be looking for them in a moment, hahahahaha."

"It's nonsense!" Sir Chen said.

Her situation was actually not good. She also knew that if she wanted to move, crossbow bullets would be fired from all directions, and the sniper's position could not be determined.

Chi Xiao was only half an inch out of her sheath, and could only clear away the sniper's attack. But if she continued like this, she would sooner or later become short of breath and exhausted.

"Haha, I really don't know how that guy pulled out Chi Xiao completely." Sir Chen suddenly thought of Beichen and laughed to himself.

Red magic was gathering around her, and both Mephistopheles and Faust noticed this.

"Mephisto, according to the plan, if we shoot her now, she will have to interrupt the spell, or she will die directly in the explosion."

"Don't be impatient, Faust. This is the best opportunity to remove her energy. Wait for now, and you can watch carefully."

"But we will miss the opportunity."

"The goals of strategy are more important than tactics, Faust."

"..."

The spell has been condensed.

"Chixiao——"

"Draw the knife!"

"Everyone, stop her!" Mephisto's herd swarmed forward, swarming towards Chen.

"Uh--"

"How could it be? Chi Xiao lost control? Why did it happen at this time!"

"Faust, shoot!" Mephistopheles discovered the stagnation of the spell and seized the opportunity.

"Damn it, there's nothing we can do! Get out!"

Mephistopheles laughed again, like a bystander who had nothing to do with him: "What a powerful weapon. Just the spilled spell can sweep away all the arrows and crossbows, and even deprive increased the mobility of the three herds.”

"But you were hit by the impact too, right?"

"Hu-hu-"

Heavy breathing came from Chen's mouth, and she assessed her injuries.

"One, no, two ribs? I can still bear it, but with such strong firepower and source, I simply..."

Mephistopheles laughed: "As expected, hahahahaha, as expected!"

"Just like the leader said."

"It's not that you don't want to kill me, you can't pull out that sword."

"Tell me again, who said what?" Sir Chen asked loudly.

"Haha, you clearly know that name, but you don't want to say it. This sword, just like you said, is not used to deal with me. Your impulse damaged its operation."

"If we caught you at the moment when you were completely defenseless, you would have turned into powder. She would know your weaknesses completely."

"And you know nothing about her, right?"

"Ah, sweet words." Sir Chen took a few deep breaths and prepared to pull out Chixiao again.

"I don't suggest you do this, Chief Chen. If you do this, she will be sad."

Mephistopheles put away the weird smile on his face and said: "We want to destroy this land as it is now."

"If corruption is allowed to continue to grow, the entire land will fall."

"Only by destroying all of this can countless rusted cities break their shackles and even be reborn."

"Chief Chen, come on, you must be disappointed with Longmen, and you must be even more disappointed with Commander Wei."

"And our leader is waiting for you."

Chen spat, spit out the blood in his mouth, and said: "Put away your rhetoric, I would rather believe that Ursus will not start another war, and I will not believe that your integration movement is practicing something noble. concept.”

"Then there's no need to talk about it. You can struggle hard. My guard and his crossbow shells will allow you to witness the true power of the infected."

"You were alone, but we were united and strong, and you deserved to die."

"If it rots, we can leave it until after your death." Sir Chen didn't hesitate at all. She put her hand on the hilt of the sword.

"You can forcibly catalyze the Originium skills condensed on that sword. Then something terrible will happen, right? Your destiny is up to you, come on!"

Mephistopheles dispersed the dust and dispersed the surrounding herd, leaving his body fully exposed to Chen.

"You want to die like a hero?"

"Boy, when a person dies, nothing will be left."

"If killing you means I need to die with you..."

"It's not worth it, but I can do it."

"Oh, if you can do it, then come. Our conversation is over. Go to hell, you stubborn guy! Faust!" Mephistopheles' ferocious expression accompanied him final announcement.

The crossbow bullet flying in the air inexplicably deviated from its original trajectory, and Chen Sir's hand was also held down by an unknown force, unable to pull out Chi Xiao.

"What's going on? Faust! Why did you miss the target!" Mephistopheles asked loudly.

"I don't know, I did target her."

"Continue the attack!"

“…”

All the crossbow arrows missed their target without exception.

Before Mephistopheles could speak, a voice suddenly came from the sky above his head: "You don't have to go that far, Chief Chen!"

"Huh?" Chen raised his head in confusion.

"What is that! A helicopter? No, no, it's..."

Mephisto's facial expression became even more ferocious.

"Huang, Beichen, dance!"

"Pay attention to your landing posture and don't leave my heat flow!"

"I wonder if it wouldn't be safer to take you flying directly?"
