Chapter 544: Changing into Mecha: Wizards, times have changed!
There is an old saying: There are at least three people in this world who look exactly like you.
Kira had a deep understanding of this. Since he came into contact with magic, he had experienced many times facing opponents who looked similar to him.
Disper was the first one. He was his counterpart in Edlas and was born to look like that. The Gemini Celestial Spirit Jemini was the second one. Although magic power could not replicate his appearance, his looks were not a problem. And now, this skinless and faceless guy had obviously used magic to become his own look.
Can someone desecrate this perfect and flawless face of mine?
It's just a shameless imitation!
Looking at the face in front of him that was popular among thousands of girls, Kira grinned and walked up with his fists clenched.
…
At the same time, the others also met their opponents.
A nearly two-meter-long steel mecha, dragging two white smoke trails, descended from the sky with a slight roar and landed steadily in front of Erza.
The steel mecha is nearly two meters tall, and its body is mostly gold and silver. Its arms are two cold blades that look extremely sharp. There are three rows and five columns of small bullet holes on each shoulder. The lethality and accuracy are unknown, but it is thought that it should not be lower than the bullets on the market. Under its feet are fire throwers and small thrusters for flight, which can ensure that this steel mecha can move at high speed within long and short combat distances.
"This is……?!"
Erza was stunned. Her rich combat experience told her that the machine in front of her was very different from those mass-produced special effects soldiers before, and its strength was obviously not on the same level.
"Mecha... a new enemy? No matter what kind of opponent comes, it's useless to me!!"
Thinking of this, Erza's heart ignited with fighting spirit: "Change clothes, flying armor, Thunder Emperor's spear!"
With a light shout, the battle suddenly began.
The two figures didn't talk much. The rising magic power and hostility had already established their positions as hostile to each other.
Whoosh!!
The speeding steel body stirred up a gust of wind and swung the sharp blade in his hand towards Erza without any waste of movement; Erza was wearing a flying armor and her speed was equally astonishingly fast. Her tight and agile body created a whirlwind, and the Thunder Emperor's Spear in her hand was wrapped in golden electric current, adding three points of power to the sharp spear tip.
clang!!
With a loud bang, the gun tip and the blade collided heavily. The two figures, one tall and one short, were frozen in an instant. At first glance, they looked like a tiger and a cheetah, neither of them giving in to the other.
Swish——!
The electric current suddenly sounded!
Erza mobilized the magic power in her body, and the spear in her hand turned into a powerful force of thunder, following the colliding metal blades and attacking deeper along the arm of the steel mecha.
The power of lightning is good for dealing with metal enemies, which is what Erza has learned from fighting Laxus many times. So it stands to reason that since the enemy in front of him does not have lightning dragon slayer magic like Laxus, it should be effective.
But what happened next disappointed Erza.
Not only was the iron mecha not injured, but its attack power increased greatly, as if its energy had been replenished. The thrusters under its feet sprayed, and at the same time, the sharp blade exerted force, directly knocking Erza over.
With her extraordinary reaction nerves and speed, Erza spun directly in the air to offset the thrust, and when she landed, she used the action of stabbing both swords into the ground to cushion the remaining force. The sharp sword edges cut two long and thin sword marks on the ground.
The lightning attack was ineffective, and Erza realized that her opponent was extremely powerful. She frowned and immediately figured out the reason: "Is lightning used as energy? How tricky!"
To be a 'troublesome' enemy for Erza, one must be at least S-class in strength. However, as a new type of combat machine created by Val and Silver, the strength of this steel mecha is definitely far more than that.
Just like Iron Man received the electric power blessing from Thor, this iron mecha suddenly broke out, intense electric current ran rampant throughout the body, bursting into dazzling sparks.
It seems that I can’t use the Thunder Emperor’s Spear…
Erza pondered for a few seconds, then stood up and changed her weapon again: "Armor of Phantom Flame!"
Under the rendering of red magic, Erza's image changed drastically: a white dress and skirt, a red collar and belt, off-shoulder long sleeves with a pair of red gauntlets decorated with red roses, a pair of red and gold over-the-knee high heels on her legs, two rows of long swords behind her forming sword wings, and her long red hair tied up. She looks heroic, like a noble, elegant, and sharp female knight galloping on the battlefield.
It's a pity that no one saw this scene, it's a pity that her enemy is a steel mecha, it's a pity that the opponent's transformation is a hundred times cooler than Erza's! !
"Change clothes!"
A low electronic sound suddenly came from the steel mecha, and Erza realized that the enemy in front of her was conscious and could speak. But...what did it just say? Change clothes? ?
Under Erza's shocked gaze, an extremely unusual and strange magical power suddenly burst out from the iron mecha in front of her and covered her entire body, just like the process of her changing clothes before.
When the change of equipment was completed, a fully armed mecha appeared on the scene.
First, the gloss of the entire mecha became thicker, then the sharp blade in the left hand turned into a sharp iron claw, there was a circle of small gun barrels around the forearm, the right hand was still a blade, but there were a few more colorful magic , and a round shield engraved with strange patterns on the chest. The calf also turned into a sharp iron sword, but the thruster was still there. The overall look was extremely powerful, and it had the beauty of both technology and magic, enough to make countless people who liked mecha crazy.
Of course, if these alone were not enough to make Erza feel difficult, the most difficult thing was that there were hundreds of gun muzzles densely packed behind it.
The mecha raised its arms high, with its gun barrels out, ready to fire at Erza. Although it did not make a sound, it seemed to be saying something arrogant: [Wizards, times have changed! ]
Erza's eyes widened and her face instantly darkened.
Since ancient times, hot weapons have been more useful than cold weapons. After all, the saying "Seven steps away, the gun is fast; within seven steps, the gun is both accurate and fast" is not a joke.
Under the same circumstances, a person holding a sword will definitely not be stronger than one holding a gun. If the latter's combat power is 5, the former may only be 1.
If there were no magic in this world, adding magical properties to cold weapons such as swords, spears, and axes, their positions would have been replaced by guns and cannons long ago.
Even someone like Erza, who had mastered the art of using cold weapons to the maximum level, couldn't help but feel frightened when facing hundreds of guns and cannons.
Gurgle...
Erza swallowed to show respect, a drop of cold sweat emerged from her forehead, wetting a few strands of her air bangs.
Words like *** that she had learned from Kira came to her mind all at once, but in order to maintain her image, Erza swallowed them back. Thousands of complaints and insults finally turned into one sentence...
"bring it on!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Erza raised her sword and attacked first. Her fighting spirit turned into combat power. The sword wings behind her moved at the same time. It seemed as if each golden sword had its own will. In order to maintain the reputation of the 'Fairy Queen', they attacked the steel mecha from all directions, cooperating with Erza to maximize the intensity, speed, range and moves of the attack.
Boom...Ding-dong...
The next moment, deafening gunfire and the sound of swords and bullets colliding echoed through several streets.
"What's going on?!"
"what happened?!"
"Who's firing?!"
“Ahhh…”
A series of noisy questions, mixed with exclamations and shouts, came from the nearby streets, followed by the sound of metal colliding, which was the sound of the mechanical people running on the ground telling each other.
To join in the fun, to maintain the stability of the town, or simply out of curiosity, mechanical people of all different appearances swarmed in.
After a while, mechanical heads surged, and mechanical people of different sizes, tall and short, came looking for the sound, but they only saw smoke covering most of the street, and heard the sound of gunfire that continued above the smoke.
