Chapter 553: Gray in Women's Clothing
As the old saying goes: In an organization, there is always at least one person with weak strength, who is just there to make up the numbers; at the same time, there is always at least one person with extraordinary strength, who is there to lead the others.
The Twelve Shields are like this. There are two people who lead the team in this organization, one is Auguste and the other is Irene.
There are indeed quite a few who are lame, but based on the setting that 'the enemies in the next chapter are stronger than the enemies in the previous chapter', and the fact that they encountered a bunch of cheaters from 'Fairy Tail', the people of the Twelve Shields didn't really feel too embarrassed.
The same is true for the 'Four Mechanical Horsemen', and because they were originally designed by the two mechanical people, Silver and Val, for team combat, they should have joined forces to fight the enemy, but now they are fighting separately, so naturally they are not able to exert their due combat effectiveness.
The Faceless Man is a support character among the Four Horsemen. He can use transformation and copy magic, and has close-to-human intelligence and extraordinary calculation ability. Thanks to the "artificial magic source" created by Silver and Val, he is equivalent to an enhanced version of Gemini, with high upper and lower limits. In battle, he has obvious restraint on the enemy and can deal with more than 80% of the enemies - after all, few people can beat themselves who have exerted their strength beyond the limit.
The Iron Mecha is a fighter among the 'Four Horsemen'. It can use costume magic, has a strong learning ability, and is proficient in using various magic weapons. With the powerful equipment provided by its 'parents', its upper and lower limits are also very high, at least at the level of 'Fairy Tail S'.
The Mechanical Doll is the shield of the Four Horsemen. Its power comes from the magic of strengthening. "Big, hard, and fast" was the original design plan. However, because it was the first to be created, it is not only immature in technology, but also relatively low in intelligence. It is basically difficult to speak. And because it is used to block damage for teammates, its output is too low. It belongs to the category of high lower limit and low upper limit. If there is a person who is the worst of the Four Horsemen, it must be this one ;
The last of the 'Four Horsemen' is called the Tuner.
…
"I am the most indispensable one among the Four Horsemen. According to what you human wizards call me, I am called a restoration wizard. My job is to repair my teammates when they are damaged."
On the street, a girl-like robot who looks like a loli but has eight mechanical arms on her back was introducing herself while playing house with the mechanical toys in her hands.
"By the way, the principle of repairing them is that I can mechanize and modify anything I come across, even humans."
The girl is the last of the 'Four Horsemen', the Tuner!
As she spoke, she took a step back to create some distance between them, and fixed her eyes on her masterpiece with a look of great satisfaction.
They were four arm-sized mechanical toys wearing floral dresses - of course, the floral dresses were also made of metal. The four toys were sitting in front of a metal table, looking as warm as if they were having dinner together.
Although it was dinner, this was the place of the mechanical clan, so of course the food was made of metal parts such as screws and nuts.
"You will be my sisters from now on. As your elder sister, I will definitely take good care of you! Come and eat, this is the delicious food I specially prepared for you!!"
The girl looks innocent, simple and cute. If you ignore the eight mechanical arms behind her and the sentence "it's the same even if she is a human", she will definitely win the love of countless fat otakus.
After all, those fat otakus only look at her appearance and don’t care whether she is a human or a machine. And if she is some fat otaku with strange hobbies, eight mechanical arms may be a plus.
Facing the girl's request, the four mechanical toys just sat there quietly, motionless, without any intention of eating. This was natural, after all, they were actually human beings, and even mechanical people would not eat such things.
"I was careless! I didn't expect the other party to have such a trick..."
"Wendy, is there no way you can remove this effect?"
"Sorry! The purification magic seems to have little effect..."
"Damn it... My magic doesn't work on her..."
These four female mechanical toys who have suffered a lot are Urrutia, Gray, Wendy and Xia Lulu.
In the previous battle, the Modifier launched a sneak attack, and it happened that the first person she mechanized was Wendy. There is nothing wrong with attacking the auxiliary first in a team fight.
Without Wendy's assistance and facing this type of magic for the first time, Gray was careless and was no match for her. He soon followed in Wendy's footsteps. Although he resisted, all the ice weapons he created were mechanized without exception, and turned into mini metal weapon toys the moment they touched the modification engineer.
Two minutes later, Urrutia who happened to be passing by was also killed, which led to the current state of several people.
Apart from being made of metal, the four mechanized characters are similar to ordinary small and medium-sized Q-version dolls, and their original appearance can be clearly seen. As for why Gray is wearing women's clothing, it's because the modification engineer has a girlish heart.
She only wants a sister, not a brother.
"What's wrong? Don't you want to eat? Why not? This is specially prepared for you by your sister!"
The girl widened her innocent eyes and came close to Gray, staring at him with her metal pupils: "Children must eat well, so that they can grow up healthily!"
“…”
A speech written in his mind on the importance of healthy diet to the human body made Gray's scalp tingle and he complained wildly in his heart.
How can you, a member of the mechanical tribe, say something that is good for the human stomach? Did you install the wrong data analysis program? ! Did you eat too much human food and cause the body's functions to malfunction? Why do you think we eat these iron nails and iron sheets? ! We are not Gajeel!! Are the eating habits of the mechanical tribe so outrageous? And the most important point!! Why do you put a skirt on me? ! ! Can't your brain analyze that I am a man? !
Collapse, tears, helplessness...
But Gray couldn't make a sound at this moment, so he had to keep all his complaints in his heart.
It may be because Gray resisted too violently when facing the modification of the modification engineer, and something went wrong with the modification, that is, there was a problem with his vocal function.
Compared to his miserable condition, Urrutia and Wendy were in a slightly better condition—they could still speak.
However, after being mechanized, not only can they not use magic, but their combat capabilities are also greatly reduced, and they cannot escape from the mechanical amusement house created by the modification engineer.
This mechanical amusement house is used for children of the mechanical tribe to play. It is based on the amusement parks in human society and has more than ten different entertainment facilities. However, in the eyes of the mechanized Urrutia and others, these entertainment facilities are just more than ten kinds of traps.
Faced with this kind of trap, the mechanized bodies were completely defenseless, not to mention there was a modification engineer standing in front of them. Every time they ran to the exit of the mechanical amusement house, they would be caught again. This feeling was as powerless as a mouse being toyed with by a cat.
Fortunately, they found that the modification engineer did not do anything to them and was just playing house seriously. So they obediently cooperated and sat where they were waiting for rescue.
If Gray is the most frustrated one among them, then Wendy is the most anxious one, because this negative state of human mechanization should have been solved by her, but in this situation, she really feels powerless.
In the original Hundred Years Quest, Wendy faced Diabolos's White Tiger Amber. At that time, the opponent used puppet magic to turn Lili into a puppet, and Wendy used purification magic to eliminate the negative state.
Logically speaking, Wendy should be able to clear the modification engineer's magic 'mechanization' now, but in fact, the two situations are not the same. The main reason is that Wendy has also become a machine now.
After being turned into a puppet by the White Tiger Amber, you can still use magic, but the effect will be greatly reduced. This is the case with Wendy now. She is not Irene, and she does not have the strong strength to beat the White Tiger Amber after being weakened. Even if she can use purification magic, the purification effect is not satisfactory.
“What should I do… What should I do… I am the only one who can save everyone now! But the effect of the purification magic is too weak, it can’t remove this state…”
Wendy racked her brains for a solution, but had no idea.
She doesn't have an 'Erin plug-in' to help her now. Without the initiative, it would be extremely difficult for her to deal with the modification engineer.
"In this situation... it seems that only Kilasan can save us..."
