Chapter 262: The tortoise, and An Enigmatic Ruler Class (1/2)

Chapter 262: The tortoise, and An Enight before our eyes are being s fired at with crystal bullets flying at the hundreds per un

『Oh, they’re unexpectedly fragile, aren’t they?』(Rin)

She ear ar in the sky with its Gatling gun

Furthermore, it has also unfolded its arround and sends forth another set of volleys froerde then enters a cooldown period to prevent overheating after she’s done shooting the ene this time, several Chevaliers erde didn’t e to hit

There are several demerits in Rin’s frame First is that her allies can’t join the fray due to how her attack works They’ll also be hit alongside the enemy after all

Next is that it’s possible her shooting would miss the cores noeach other in soet scattered, they’ll still end up regenerating if their cores are unharle point, it won’t be an issue

The last one is that she can’t keep up a sustained fire for a long tiuess The body of the frame wouldn’t be able to withstand the ierde has an automatic repair function to some extent since crystalprocess as its base, but it still can’t keep up ith the daed fire Some sort of cooldown period becomes necessary

Because of those reasons, people ill cover those weaknesses are now a necessity

The flying type frazes have begun their attack fro, but they are then shot at with bullets co and then falling down to the ground

『That was helpful Thank you』(Rin)

『You’re welcoe flies by in its arial forerde as if si of Linzie’s fra the best use of its abilities as she soars around the battlefield and provides fire support in different places It’s a position of a raider

Sih the battlefield in higha pair of kodachi in the hands of her green dragoon

There’s yet another battle taking place in the rear which has been started by Linzie and the girls

『Stardust Shell!!』

Along with Suu’s shout, a countless nuhts are produced froiving birth to a defensive wall of light which has been orderly lined up in a flash

This stardust defensive wall completely repels bea in the air The right hand is then shot forth at high speed froht elbow of Ortlinde Overlord the moment this attack has been repelled

『Cannon Knuckle Spiral ! !』

The right hand that has been shot out quickly rotates like a bullet while crushi+ng the koi carp fraze Having gone through it, the hand draws an arc and returns back to Ortlinde Overlord

So they’ve added a rotationalin a certain sense…

Speaking of Suu’s Ortlinde, I’ her to devote herself to the defense of the headquarters In all honesty, it’s for that very reason why Ortlinde is installed with a very high defensive capability There’s also ato send out Suu, who’s the youngest, to the frontlinesalong those lines Soaring with [Fly], I then ju pressured on the ground

『5th coainst lower class doesn’t ht them one-on-one! Support each other and pay attention to your comrades around you, and not just the enemy in front of you! 』(Touya)

『『『YES!』』』

I pass the instructions through the s of the new knights It seems they aren’t accustomed to the one-vs-many type of battles yet, so they have to et encircled just like this situation they are currently in

「Oh, Coiling Ice, Freezing Curse, Ice Bind」

I invoke a restrainingthe 5th co their e to escape even if we do that by destroying their own legs, but it’s plenty enough if we e to stop them even for a short while

The Chevaliers of the 5th co the cores of the iht This side should be okay now

The moe fraside as well fly towards this place from the headquarters

『Sorry, we’re late!』(Elzie)

『We’re deeply sorry!』(Yae)

『My apologies!』(Hilda)

It’s Elzie in Gerhilde, Yae in Schwertleite and Hilda in Siegrune It can’t be helped — those girls have been resting inside the castle after all

The lightly ar swordfrazes and tearing up their cores

And just like that, they’ve begun slaughtering the crystal devils one by one after finally arriving at the frontlines

『Your Majesty, a large distortion has been confirmed 1km in front of the main headquarters This appears to be an indication that an advanced-class will be arriving soon』

「So it’s co, huh?… Notice to all companies, distance yourselves from the point where an Advance-Class will appear」(Touya)

『Yessir』

Having been contacted by Tsubaki-san who’s stationed at the headquarters and thanking her deep inside for her observations, I’ve then started to takeout [Stars] made of crystal e]

I’ll strike this guy the moment he appears However, I don’t think I’ll be able to break his core with just this pre-emptive strike, so the plan is to do an all-out attack to it when it becoe it will receive froSense”, I confir the point of the appearance It’s co out like a glass getting fine cracks with snapping sounds The Advance-Class then e di with a thunderous roar

『Gogaaaaaaaa!!』

It raises a yell ai body, which looks like a sround

Its back is drawing a ss, a tail waving like a snake furnished with countless long thorns, and a head extending froe turtle I suppose I should even call it a tortoise-type, though there are six legs, and sharp blades resee of its shell

The number of cores is… one, located inside its shell, huh? It’s ee! I suppose it’s the sarateful to that creature since it’s et for me [Meteor Zapper]」

A countless nuht above the tortoise, and the crystal [Stars] start falling doith their weight increased with [Gravity] The e that attack has caused, the tortoise drew its head along with its feet and tail into the shell, co deflected by the s down to the ground

「damn! So it can protect itself like that, huh…?」(Touya)

Does this mean that it’s a defensive-type fraze because it’s a tortoise? While I’ dumbfounded, the tortoise who’s currently in seclusion suddenly puts out just its long tail A countless number of thorns on the tip are then fired out in all directions like missiles

「This is bad! Evasive maneuvers!」(Touya)

Hundreds of crystal arrows are separatingdown all around the same way sie it caused is negligible, probably thanks to the fact that everyone has already distanced the mixed in the effects of [Meteor Zapper] Still, several ed their color It’s the reaction indicating the escape of the pilot via transferjumped to the tortoise’s feet, Elzie’s Gerhilde puts all her strength into the pile bunker in her right hand and shoots it into the center of the foot Breaking it with the first attack is generally unreasonable, but it eventually breaks with the second one

Nevertheless, the tortoise wouldn’t lose its balance even if one of the three pairs of feet I should’ve been able to bring it down if I used [Slip], but it’s very likely that Elzie would get crushed beneath it

However, Elzie immediately retreats from that place while the pair of Hilda and Yae tear up one of the reht

Having lost two of its three legs all on one side, the tortoise loses its balance and starts falling down on the girls Both Yae and Hilda proet crushed underneath it The fraze’s body falls down diagonally

Although it can’t ather particles of lights This is bad Does it plan to fire that weapon?!

Rin’s Griuns, but the bullets strike the shell of the tortoise, change their direction and fly away into to off any attack thanks to its for exceptionally hard It’s probably similar to the shi+eld Spica-san has

『Cannon Knuckle Spiral! !』(Suu)

A rocket-fist launched and fired by Suu’s Ortlinde from the headquarters smashes the tortoise’s head into sht vanish like aabout Nice!

However, its head has already started regenerating along with its legs Weto do that…?

Then, the s call as I’hts

『Touya-kun, are you not going to try using “that”?』(Regina)

It’s a call from the professor

「By “that”, do you mean… “That”? The secret weapon which you said that Rosetta had ic power?… 」(Touya)

『I guess so It certainly is a weapon which you’ll probably only be able to shoot just one time even if you borrow Linzie and Rin’s power, but it’s still better than doing nothing, don’t you agree? And by the way, I’ve already received their agreeina)

Muu I wanted to avoid using “that” weapon without testing it beforehand, but It can’t be helped

Linzie’s and Rin’s fraerde, support the [Cannon] transferred in front of the anchor protruding froround and affixed so that it would withstand the recoil
