Chapter 28 (1/2)

28.LITTLE GIRL LAUGHS

[Hyahyahya. Ohh, so nice. It really gets me excited.]

The red machiini stood at the battlefield.

Differently from the other battles, Paroma was focusing on Ruuin´s main forces on this one. At the surroundings were corpses of knight model machiinis fallen, allied soldiers crushed and cut, having their horrid corpses fallen around throughout the whole place.

The only ones standing there were the mercenary machiinis of Paroma. Only now were their gazes filled with killing intent being focused at the red machiini, which had killed one of their companions.

Against all those gazes, the only one at the side of the red machiini [Iron Dinna] was the knight model machiini [Musas.h.i.+]. It was standing behind the red machiini awaiting for orders. The mercenary machiini [Rozen] and the knight model machiini being rescued by it were already retreating to the rear. Because of that, the only ones present were [Iron Dinna] and [Musas.h.i.+].

They were outnumbered.

There were at least eight mercenary machiinis allied with Paroma. Among them, one of them was now at the ground near Bela´s feet. And now, there was one more machiini approaching.

[You b.a.s.t.a.r.d. How dare you kill Zagil.]

[Yeah, you don´t need to thank me.]

The approaching mercenary machiini swung down its axe, directing it at [Iron Dinna]. Stepping on the foot pedal with all her might and pressing forward, Bela avoided the attack with the minimum movement that was as dexterous as if she was weaving fabric now.

[She got at my flank!?]

[See? Now get eaten.]

Bela drew the knife at the waist and pieced it through the chest of the mercenary machiini.

That feat happened in an instant with flowing movements. From the chest of the machiini, blood flowed. Blood was gus.h.i.+ng out from the lump of meat inside the c.o.c.kpit. The liquid of life returned to the soil as if it was because it didn´t suit a body that had no life in it, hence spilling out from the chest of the machiini.

The machiinis of Paroma only required a bit of time to understand what happened. Almost too naturally, one of their comrades was killed. They had been too late to guess what the situation before their eyes really was.

[K-kill her. Kill the mercenary of Ruuin!”

Receiving the angry yell of one of the machiinis, the machiinis of Paroma charged at the red machiini [Iron Dinna] all at the same time.

[Hyahyahya. Bal, how is it? Isn´t that a funny spectacle? Isn´t it?]

[Yes, that´s right, master. I can´t have enough of that.]

Bal nodded at Bela´s words.

[Well, for the time, you will just be getting used to the controls now. Don´t go getting too much animated today, alright?]

And then, silvery smoke also blew from the pipe coming from [Iron Dinna]´s back. Bela dashed forward.

[This is my show.]

Saying that, she dived into the crowd of machiinis. Normally speaking, this couldn´t be seen as anything but reckless. However, for Bela, this was far from being so.

[Hyahaaaaaaaaaah!!]

In her first attack, she lowered her stance, having her war hammer come from a lower position. Holding the handle of the war hammer right at the utmost tip of the handle and using all her might along with the centrifugal force, she hit the machiini in front of her eyes at its waist.

[Guah]

[This guy]

And then, Bela deflected the attack of the approaching spear-wielding machiini with her buckler. Following it by kicking down the machiini whose frame at the waist was pulverised, Bela jumped back.

[What?]

[Stop there. Danilo´s machiini is under you.]

[Uwaaaaah]

Together with the scream was the metallic sound of the machiinis falling down.

Machiini´s had bad field of view. It was bad to the point that one couldn´t react to sudden movements made at very close range. It was to the point one wouldn´t be able to react to an obstacle that suddenly fell to the ground even if one had a good amount of skill.

Among the machiinis that came charging, two machiinis were caught by the machiini that was at the ground, falling down. The spear-wielding machiini hit by Bela also pulled back due to the damage it had. Bela decided to focus on the axe-wielding and the sword-wielding machiinis, which were coming from another direction where the fallen machiini wasn´t at.

[Now then, I wonder if you can take this from me.]

While saying that, Bela threw her war hammer against the axe-wielding machiini.

[Don´t take me lightly.]

However, as to be expected, the opponent wasn´t soft to the point he would be defeated with only that. Because of how they were a.s.saulting a base where there were knight model machiinis, there was no way they weren´t skilled. Before the impact, the machiini readied the axe it held at hands. And then, the axe-wielding machiini deflected the flying war hammer. However, that action had him to stop his feet. Without stopping, the sword-wielding machiini at the right advanced.

It became established by that that it was going to become a one-on-one fight now.

However, the red machiini let go of its weapon. Its knife was also stuck at one of the fallen machiinis, being impossible to recover. Having all that in mind, the sword-wielding machiini decided to finish the red machiini at once.

And then, the approaching sword-wielding machiini raised its sword

[Dieeeeeee!]

[Hyahya]

Deflecting the swung down sword with her buckler and stepping on the foot pedal, Bela got close at range to him.

[This d.a.m.n idiot!]

The sword-wielding machiini shouted. The enemy didn´t have any weapons she could kill him with. Because of that, he smirked. Even if the red machiini was to grapple him, there were only allies at his surroundings. And so…

“”It will be you the one dying here.””

It happened immediately after the man thought that. Something red appeared before his eyes. And then, his own consciousness disappeared in the physical sense along with the container that carried it.
