Chapter 169 Fire

Only one-third of the length of Surtl's sword remained, but even so broken, it was still heavy in the hand. There was still some residual heat on the hilt, but the moment the new owner held it, a thin layer of frost instantly covered the hilt, and that little bit of residual heat eventually dissipated into thin air.

Kevin had envied the soul steel sword in Himiko's hand countless times. It was indeed special enough. After the Fusion Warrior Plan was proposed, due to the lack of funds and the scarcity of qualified people, the Fire Moth never made a soul steel weapon again.

But what Kevin really cared about was that this was a greatsword that both Mikael and Himiko had wielded.

The young men all admired heroes, and in Kevin's eyes, the title of hero was well deserved by both Mikael and Himiko.

So he had imagined countless times that he wanted to take over the greatsword wielded by his ancestors, so that he could become a hero.

But he didn't expect that this day would come so suddenly.

He understood the heavy responsibility on his shoulders - he dared not fail, could not fail, and should not fail.

So he betrayed his former dream and tried to return Surtur to Mikael.

"It is not suitable for me. The factor of the emperor-level Honkai beast Pavanti that I fused, the low temperature in my body, and the ice and snow I controlled are not compatible with Surtur's flames."

Mikael looked at the fiery red broken sword under the light blue frost shell and couldn't help but reveal a slightly weird smile.

Yes, that's right...

"Of course it doesn't suit you. No, it certainly doesn't deserve you. One day, you'll get a better weapon than it, but there's no doubt that Surtur is suitable for now."

Kevin's eyes gradually became confused, and Mei had no intention of explaining to her boyfriend. In the end, everything still needed Mikael to explain:

"The power of the Fifth Herrscher is ice and snow - we don't know the scientific explanation behind her power yet, but its manifestation is ice and snow. This is consistent with the Pavanti factor that you fused.

"I can understand Mei's idea. On the one hand, there is no time to find other Honkai beasts and qualified people. On the other hand, the same ability cannot bring you the benefit of "restraint", but it also makes you not "restrained" by the other party. This means that you can fight with the Fifth Herrscher for a long time, and both of you may not be able to do anything to each other in a short time. Radical yet steady, it really deserves to be Mei.

"But the power of the Herrscher is higher than that of Pavanti after all, and it is unknown whether your attack can cause effective damage to the Herrscher. If that happens, Surtl's flame is your only way to defeat the ice and snow."

"But..." Kevin used his hand to sweep away the frost and snow on the sword. With the influx of Honkai energy, the temperature of the broken sword gradually increased, and finally a weak flame jumped up, "But won't the flame be restrained by the ice and snow?"

"Really? The ice can indeed freeze the flame, but in the same way, the flame can also melt the ice - Kevin, how did the ancestors of mankind defeat the ice and snow?"

"Ignite the fire?"

Mikael stopped talking. After Kevin tentatively handed in the answer, his eyes suddenly became firm.

"I understand."

Kevin held the broken sword tightly, and even because he couldn't control his strength, he left five deep fingerprints on the hilt.

He turned his head and stared at Mikael's calm profile, and thanked him in his heart.

"Huh--"

Fire Chaser No. 5 whizzed past the two's heads for the third time. Humans can't put all their eggs in one basket. Moreover, most people are not optimistic about whether Kevin can kill the fifth Herrscher.

Although some people have bad ideas like "It doesn't matter, the first Herrscher will take action", they also need some positive actions-Fire Chaser No. 5 is still on standby above Attica City. Once Kevin is not in a good position in the battle, he will switch to traditional attack methods.

Mikael looked at the shadow left by the battleship on the ground. He suddenly felt that the shadow was not weightless. In the dimension he could not feel, there was a heavy weight on Kevin's shoulders and Mei's shoulders with the shadow.

Fire Chaser No. 5 has already flown far away, but the shadow under its feet has not dissipated for a long time. The broken hair on the foreheads of the two people began to flutter.

Kevin looked up, and the heavy dark clouds covered the sky again. Snow also fell. At first glance, it was still catkins swaying in the wind, but in an instant, the snowflakes became scattered salt grains, and under the wind, they danced wildly between the sky and the earth.

"The imaginary barrier has been broken."

Mikael said lightly.

"Yeah."

Kevin replied coldly.

But when he turned around again, Mikael was no longer around him.

"You run so fast..."

Even though he was determined to pretend to be a cold-faced handsome guy, Kevin still felt the muscles on his cheeks shaking uncontrollably.

This shaking was first used to sneer at Mikael, but unconsciously it was imprinted with excitement-

"Come on! The Fifth Herrscher!"

"Click, click, click..."

There was no deafening explosion. The Fifth Herrscher just quietly appeared outside the airport and took two steps forward.

Then, the barbed wire that was originally used to block the Honkai beast gradually shrank and twisted under the effect of the low temperature until it broke inch by inch.

The drone captured and locked onto the target immediately. As the captain ordered to fire, the operator pressed the corresponding button.

One second...

Two seconds...

Three seconds...

The fifth Herrscher stood still. She knew that humans could see her, so she smiled faintly. The attack that was supposed to work on her didn't happen.

"How could this happen!"

All the parts inside the mecha failed in the severe cold, and even the barrel was frozen. How could it fire?

"Think about it carefully, this is not a bad thing."

May's voice sounded, and Mikael turned on the external speaker, so Ellie, Mobius, and even Seer and Kosmo could hear it.

"A machine gun bullet costs 20 yuan, a rifle grenade costs 3,000 yuan, a micro rocket costs 250,000 yuan, and the power consumed by launching a mecha electromagnetic cannon is worth 500,000 yuan, and a micro missile costs 3 million yuan. A mecha with full firepower can waste more than 100 million taxes in an instant, and they can't cause any harm to the Herrscher... But some people can only show their presence in this way. Look, we did resist."

Mikael laughed at the first time.

Mei didn't know whether it was intentional or not. Anyway, she didn't use the private channel when she said this, but let everyone in the United Government's Unmanned Mecha Brigade hear her words.

Many people's faces instantly became extremely ugly.

"Start the overload operation mode!"

The captain gritted his teeth and said.

If it was at this time in the past, he might have given up. As Mei said-it can't cause any harm at all, why do that kind of thing, isn't it a waste of money?

But I can think so, you can't say that!

"Captain, in overload mode, the mecha may not have time to restart before the chip has overheated and burned!"

"Who cares so much!"

"Boom!"

As soon as the voice fell, the Herrscher was very considerate and smashed the mecha into scraps with a pile of hail, which invisibly solved the difficulties for the mecha troops.

Correspondingly, Chasing Fire No. 5 was also hit by hail and could only climb quickly to avoid it.

[Main armor plate damaged by 3%]

[Current airflow is turbulent, please hold the handrail]

When the Fire Chaser No. 5 broke through the thick clouds, the morning sun in the eastern sea of ​​clouds also jumped out at the same time, and the rosy clouds filled the entire cockpit.

Mei suddenly laughed.

[Doctor, your mood has suddenly fluctuated. For safety reasons, it is recommended that you take medication for treatment]

"Zero, I don't think I need medication."

Mei said the so-called nonsense softly.

[Doctor, I don't understand what you mean, I just give advice according to the usual treatment plan]

"Of course you won't understand, because a better treatment plan, a better "drug", has appeared."

[Is it... him?]

"Kevin, are you ready?"

So, when the fifth Herrscher stepped into the airport, the one who appeared in front of her was not the first Herrscher who should be here as she imagined.

Standing in front of her was a tall young warrior.

He exuded a creepy chill all over his body, and even his eyebrows and hair were covered with bluish-white frost-the same as the Herrscher.

He had snow-white hair—same as the Herrscher.

He had a pair of beautiful blue eyes—same as the Herrscher.

The extremely rich Houkai energy turned into black ribbons that wrapped around him—same as the Herrscher.

The only difference was that he held a broken sword in his hand.

The sword exuded a blazing heat, and the tiny flames were weak, but when one cluster went out, another cluster would jump up, and it would never stop.

He held the sword tightly, just like his ancestors held the firewood tightly in the ice and snow tens of thousands of years ago.
