The Puppeteer of Academy City

"Touma, Touma, what the **** is going on?" Index asked in a low voice, tugging at the corner of Kamijou Touma's clothes.

Kanzaki leaned down slightly, and made a posture of drawing his sword: "Xingye, you'd better not act rashly now, or I will kill you immediately!"

"Next, we should be able to have a good talk."

Seeing this, Ling Xingye couldn't help but be speechless. Ignoring the hostility of the two people opposite, he unsuspectingly took out his mobile phone from his pocket.

"Oh? Are you calling for help?" Stiyl laughed.

Kanzaki frowned, clenched his right hand that was holding the handle of the knife and then moved it away, but finally did not attack.

"Chairman Aleister, are you watching?" Ling Xingye didn't deliberately avoid the two people on the opposite side. At this distance, at least Kanzaki could clearly hear the content of the phone call, "Can you give me an explanation? "

He asked, and at the same time wanted to take this opportunity to explain to the other side.

"As I said, the maximum error in my information is forty minutes." A dull and flat tone came from the other end of the phone, "The things before I issued the alarm are just your personal guesses."

"In other words, until two hours ago, my enemy didn't actually exist?"

"It was an hour and fifty-six minutes ago."

Hearing this, Ling Xingye took another look at the two magicians facing him: "No wonder, I just said that their behavior patterns are so strange..."

"You should be clear that your enemy will only go straight to the point and attack you, and will not do other irrelevant things."

"Tsk, I thought they finally got the hang of it and knew how to use tricks." Ling Xingye said, "In other words, these two magicians have nothing to do with me?"

"Yes, they came for other things. They belong to the British Puritan Church and have reported to me. They are normal immigrants."

"Really."

Kanzaki said loudly: "It seems that the misunderstanding has been resolved."

Stiyl also removed the spell to hunt down the Witch King, but he still looked unwilling.

When they came to Academy City, they had contacted the chairman of the board, Aleister, so it was not difficult to judge the authenticity of Ling Xingye's phone call.

"Aleister's private army?" Stiyl guessed Ling Xingye's identity.

"No, it should be just a collaborator." Kanzaki shook his head, "And he mentioned his enemy just now. Xingye may be the same as us, mistaking each other for his enemy."

Behind the two of them, Kamijou Touma couldn't help but said: "Although I don't know exactly what happened, since we don't have anything to do, then I will leave first..."

"Hey, give me your boy..."

Steele's voice suddenly paused.

At the same time, Kanzaki and Index suddenly shouted at the same time: "Be careful!"

"There is a new magic power!"

"Get away!" Stiyl roared and rushed forward.

Immediately afterwards... Boom! !

The violent explosion swallowed everyone!

Amidst the blazing flames, a bright knife light suddenly burst out.

The flames all over the sky and the air waves caused by the explosion were swept away.

The gunpowder smoke and dust dissipated, and one could see Kanzaki's heroic figure slowly sheathing his sword.

Beside her, a flame giant leaned over to embrace the other three people.

Stiyl held Index in his arms in the same posture as the flame giant, protecting it from the heat of the flames.

Kamijou Touma was not treated so well. He was kicked and trampled by Stiyl, and he barely stayed within the protection range of the flame giant.

Kamijou Touma kept waving his right hand to disperse the flames approaching him. Even so, there are still many burns on his body.

"Idiot, the attack just now was obviously a bomb. Can your right hand even defend against bombs?" Stiyl mocked Kamijou Touma, who just wanted to be a hero.

"Who is it!" Kanzaki ignored them, and looked forward with a horrified expression, his muscles all over his body were like taut springs, ready to unleash the sharpest attack at any time.

Boom, boom, boom...

At the end of the street in the night, there was a sound of heavy footsteps in response to her questioning.

It was the sound of a steel giant walking.

"Iron Golem?" Index kept struggling in Stiyl's arms and couldn't help saying when she saw the burly figure approaching.

"It's a robot." Stiyl explained, "Have you alerted the city's defense forces?"

But there was only a lone powered suit present, so it was a bit strange to say that it was the defense force.

As if responding to Stiyl's question, the launch nest on the shoulder of the huge machine opened, and a dozen or so small missiles flew out.

Kanzaki raised his hand, dancing the steel wire and beautifully chopped off all the missiles.

However, the driven armor remained unwavering, and he drew out the chainsaw sword in the arming box and strode forward.

"This model!" Kamijou Touma exclaimed, "Isn't it the legendary military aircraft that is still in the experimental stage! It's over, it is said that this is a war machine that can capture a fortress!"

"It's the powered armor HsPS-15 'Giant Weapon'. Academy City's latest model powered armor prototype." Ling Xingye and Yao Yao walked in front of them, "I'm sorry to bother you... This is my enemy."

"Aren't you from Aleister? Why would Academy City's weapons of war become your enemy?" Kanzaki asked.

"The driven armor is just a weapon and a prop." Ling Xingye stood still in front of the four of them, while the ghost continued to move forward, "My enemy is not this specific tool~www.NovelMTL.com~ but the tool behind the back guy."

He went on to say: "You are not very familiar with this type of drive armor, so you probably didn't find it—the one in front of us...is not connected to the power supply."

"Strictly speaking, he can't get power." Ling Xingye pointed out calmly, "For this kind of tactical equipment, the battery box and the body itself are usually stored separately."

"Without energy, how does this big guy move?" Kamijou Touma asked.

"Puppet master..." Ling Xingye suddenly said to himself, "So you are the puppet master this time, the information is indeed correct, it's just that I misunderstood."

"Ling Xing Ye!" A slightly dull voice came from inside the drive armor, because there was no power on, and the speakers equipped on the body could not work.

The driver inside seemed to be aware of this too, and stopped as if trying to fiddle with something, and dull crashing sounds continued to be heard from inside the machine body.

"Ling Xing Ye!!" The loud notes gushed out from the shoulder armor like a storm.

It made people's ears buzz. It is not an exaggeration to say that this is a sonic weapon!

How do you activate the speaker when there is no power on?

And how did the previous missile launch happen?

As the only person present besides Ling Xingye who knew what kind of existence "Driver Armor" was, Kamijou Touma was full of doubts.

But he was more concerned about how he and Index would escape... There were so many ups and downs, and the battle tonight was simply a mess.

"Although I had a great time playing just now," Ling Xingye said to them without turning his head, "but the next battle is my own business. As for the grievances between you, you can find a place to resolve it yourself."
