Chapter 469 Times Have Changed
The original three white-robed cultists have completely changed into a different form.
The body of the middle-aged cult leader looked as if it were made of countless twisted metal strips, some as thick as an arm and others as thin as a hair.
They intertwined and crisscrossed, forming an irregular and eerie shape. Its head was a huge sphere, the surface of which was covered with countless tiny holes, from which a ghostly green light would occasionally flicker.
Its eyes are two narrow slits, its limbs are unusually long, and its joints are bent at sharp right angles. Every movement is accompanied by a grating sound of metal rubbing together.
The younger male believers appeared as if they had been compressed by some force; their bodies had a streamlined shape and were extremely smooth, but not reflective.
When moving, its body twists like a snake, gliding silently across the ground.
The last female follower was smaller, her body covered with strange gears, and she floated in mid-air.
The cube-shaped head looks like an old-fashioned television set, but it gives off a very eerie feeling.
The three deformed robots stood silently on the grass, emanating a chilling aura that seemed to freeze the surrounding air.
Afran stared at them blankly, her expression somewhat solemn, while a surge of anger welled up inside her.
"You, you actually..."
She never expected that these three guys had completely abandoned their human identities and were even willing to join the ranks of the heretical demons in order to gain powerful strength.
Right now, these three guys are no longer human; they are living demons!
"Heh... See that power?" The machine cultist encased in metal bars let out a cold laugh. "This is the power bestowed upon us by the gods, no less than the power of you magical girls."
really!
Just as I expected.
These guys have truly fallen under the control of heretics and demons.
Afran knew nothing about the wasteland world, let alone the gods of the era. She could only guess at the situation based on her own understanding, and it wasn't a big problem to explain it.
She inadvertently linked the other person with heretical demons, even though there was no real difference between them.
"Prepare to die!!"
Without any warning, the cyborg roared, and the metal chain in his hand twisted into a cannon barrel, blasting a laser beam at the blonde girl.
Afran instinctively raised her shield, and the immense destructive force caused the golden barrier on the shield to tremble.
She took several steps back, and before she could make any move, the streamlined mechanical cultist swiftly appeared behind her, its laser beam transforming into a long blade that slashed towards the girl's neck.
scold-!
Golden sparks exploded out of thin air.
The sword and the longsword collided in mid-air, the immense force causing Avran's hands to go numb, and she was thrown back quite a distance.
But the laser projectile seemed to have eyes, whizzing past her and blasting a dark mark into the lush green grass.
On the other side, the cyborg floating in mid-air suddenly took off, and countless floating cannons caught up with the Pegasus that had just taken off, continuously firing lasers at it.
Afran fought and retreated, thinking that taking down these three guys wouldn't take too much effort, but to her surprise, these three guys were far more powerful than the group of omnics.
If it were just one person, she wouldn't be afraid, but three of them coming at her together, and cooperating so well, instantly overwhelmed her.
Tired of dodging, she struggled to mount an effective counterattack. The attacks, both long and short, overwhelmed her. She not only had to dodge the enemy's long-range laser projectiles but also had to be constantly wary of assassination attempts.
If Nimiao hadn't distracted the other one, she probably wouldn't even have a chance to catch her breath right now.
Miss Avran, if we delay any longer, things may turn out badly for us.
Nimiao's telepathic connection surfaced in Avran's mind, causing a slight unease to set in.
Yes, summoning so many golden statues simultaneously using magic is a huge limitation for her. With her current power, it would be difficult for her to deal with these three guys.
Suddenly, an image flashed in Avran's mind.
It was a sword inscribed with strange runes.
A sword deeply embedded in the rock, radiating supreme power!
"Damn it..."
Afran gritted her teeth.
"That thing isn't made for lowly people like you!"
With a shield deflecting the rain of laser projectiles, Avran slashed her sword at the streamlined mechanical cultist, knocking the laser sword from his hand.
But before she could continue her pursuit, she saw a gun barrel gleaming with a ghostly blue light suddenly protrude from the other person's shoulder.
Afran's pupils contracted.
She was immediately enveloped by the dark blue repulsive energy. She dodged the attack with lightning speed, but the enormous energy still caused her to stagger back several steps.
"Hehehe..."
"What kind of caveman-like fighting style is this? Trying to defeat us with swords and shields? So what if you possess strange magical energy?"
The Mechanic's hands transformed into cannon barrels.
"Times have changed!!"
Bang bang bang bang—! !
A barrage of laser beams erupted, instantly engulfing Afran's landing point like raindrops, and in the blink of an eye, a series of explosions erupted.
Black smoke billowed, completely obscuring everything around it.
The Mechanic shook his slightly burning arms and straightened up with a cold laugh.
"it's over..."
"Be careful!"
Before he could finish speaking, another Mechanicus cultist nearby suddenly reminded him.
But its warning was a little too slow. A golden light suddenly pierced through the black mist and struck the mechanical cultist's head head-on in the blink of an eye, blasting half of his head into pieces.
The Mechanic swayed violently but did not fall. It lowered its head in disbelief and saw a pure gold bullet and fragments of its head lying quietly on the grass.
How is that possible?!
Mechanical thinking slowed down for a moment.
But the girl's soft voice slowly rang out from the black mist.
"you're right..."
"Times have indeed changed!"
A golden stream of light suddenly burst forth from the black smoke, and Avran was lifted into the air, her sword and shield transforming in the blink of an eye into two gleaming golden Webley revolvers.
The Webley revolver is a type of military revolver produced in Great Britain, and is one of the most classic standard-issue pistols.
Unlike those made by humans, the revolver in Avran's hand was not only made entirely of gold, but also engraved with a list of incantations.
Golden light swirled around her as Avran forcibly twisted her body in mid-air, causing her to spin around in an upside-down, hook-like position.
The finger pulled the trigger, and flames shot from the muzzle.
*Clap clap clap clap clap clap!*
A series of bullets carrying magical power exploded towards everything around them in an instant.
The Mechanics were initially startled, then they all activated their repulsive force fields.
They had truly underestimated their opponent; they hadn't expected this girl to be able to unleash such a level of combat power, which completely exceeded their previous understanding of magical girls.
They have studied magical girls, but in their long-term observations, their attention has been primarily focused on China.
Most magical girls in China are based on martial arts skills and gradually combine magic and kung fu. Over the years, they have been scientifically calculating the weaknesses of each move.
Faced with the one before them, they had to admit that the other party was indeed "keeping up with the times".
but...
"Do they think this will change the course of the war?"
The Mechanic let out a shriek, then abruptly raised his hands.
In an instant, two dark blue halos burst forth from its arms.
At that very moment, Avran suddenly felt a dramatic change in the gravity around her.
Her spinning body came to an abrupt halt, and she was uncontrollably pulled directly towards the direction of the Mechanicus by the gravitational force.
Oh no!
Afran's eyes widened.
Manipulating gravity?! They actually have that level of ability?!
Just at this critical moment, a whooshing sound suddenly appeared.
Afran suddenly felt something wrap around her waist, and then she was instantly pulled out of the gravitational field by a powerful force.
