"They should be … about thirty kilometers ahead."
This was a dark, gigantic … pipe.
It was also known as Midgard.
In this gigantic pipe, an aircraft was moving at high speed.
However, rather than calling it an aircraft, the Scholar felt that it should be called … an octopus. It was about a hundred meters tall, and there were all kinds of rooms inside.
The Scholar and the Hero were in one of the rooms, watching the situation outside through a large screen in front of them. The mecha's appearance was exactly the same as the Hero's.
"Begin decelerating and landing!" The Scholar gently poked the screen, and the giant octopus slowed down. It slowly descended from the sky to the ground … or rather, to the wall of the pipe.
Boom! With a heavy sound, the octopus's tentacles fell to the ground. Then, instead of flying, it slowly crawled forward.
This … octopus was actually a miniature version of Lin's Kraken, but it didn't contain any cells. It was almost purely … a mechanical creation.
Therefore, it required a pilot to control it.
"This feels like … a sea monster from the movies." The Scholar controlled the octopus to slowly move forward. Because most of the octopus's functions were automated, it was easy for the Scholar to control it.
She only needed to let it move forward, and it would automatically … cross over all obstacles.
"They're over there …"
As the octopus moved forward, the scenery in the distance became clearer. It was a place like … a forest. A large number of plant-like things filled the Scholar's field of vision. Most of these things were purple or blue, and they looked like plants with … stems and leaves.
In this blue-purple forest, she could see the demon's mount … the creature called the star cluster was floating there.
It was about ten meters above the forest, and its glittering skin made it very conspicuous.
Now, the octopus had slowly crawled to the edge of the forest. When it lowered its body, it wouldn't be taller than the plants. Moreover, it was said that the octopus's skin had … anti-detection properties, so it didn't seem to be discovered.
However, if the octopus wanted to continue moving forward, it would have to squeeze into the forest. That would definitely knock down the plants, and … it would be impossible not to be discovered.
"We can attack now." Just as the Scholar was hesitating, the Hero's voice rang out. "Attack from here! There's no need to approach them. "
"Is that so?" The scholar said, "I still think …"
"It's almost done!" While the Scholar was lost in thought, it suddenly heard the demon's voice. It was coming from the mini Scholar.
"Let's hurry to the next location!" When the demon's voice rang out, the Scholar also noticed that the demons on the screen had all flown into … Xing Ju's body.
Xing Ju also slowly rose, as if he had decided to leave the forest.
"They're running away!" The Hero said. "Hurry up and attack!"
"… Alright!" The Scholar and Hero poked at the screen at the same time. Then, the octopus quickly raised its tail and aimed at the distant forest above … Star Cluster.
Boom!!!
A dazzling beam of light illuminated the entire forest and hit Xing Ju's skin.
"Ahhh! We're under attack! " The image transmitted from the mini scholar was shaking, and the demons inside were screaming non-stop.
Star Gather, who was hit, didn't seem to be injured. The only thing that changed was that the starlight on his body was flickering.
Then, he suddenly twisted his body.
The starlight on the surface of the octopus's skin seemed to have materialized in an instant, turning into flashing light bullets that flew towards the octopus.
"He's coming! Hurry up and dodge! "
The octopus's tentacles pushed off the ground, and its whole body flew into the air. In the next second, a large number of light bullets hit this position, turning it into an area covered in smoke and dust.
"He dodged! Continue attacking! "
While flying in the air, the Scholar and Hero poked at the screen again. The octopus's tail aimed at the target and fired the powerful beam of light again.
Boom!
However, this time, it didn't hit the target. Instead, it collided with the light bullets emitted by Xing Ju and turned into smoke and dust in the sky.
"Use that to hit him!" The Hero quickly poked at the screen a few times. Then, a spherical object appeared on the screen.
"Wait!" the Scholar said. "At this distance, it might affect us. Now we … Ah!"
The octopus suddenly rose in the air, dodging a large number of light bullets flying toward it.
"So dangerous … But it looks like it can dodge automatically." The Scholar wiped away her sweat and looked at the screen.
"It looks like … it's dimmed a lot?" The Scholar noticed that after shooting a few rounds of light bullets, Star Gather's color had become very dim. It looked like it would … extinguish at any moment.
"It must have run out of energy!" the Hero said. "Let's use this opportunity to deal with it!"
"Woo!"
Suddenly, a low sound echoed in the cockpit. The Scholar and Hero couldn't help but cover the part of their body that heard the sound. They also saw Star Gather … charging toward them.
"It really has run out of energy!" the Hero said. "Dodge and then attack!"
The octopus immediately flew to the side, but Star Gather immediately turned its head, keeping its head aimed at the octopus, and charged at it.
"It's so fast!" Seeing this, the Scholar ordered the octopus to retreat quickly. Star Gather was still chasing after it. As the distance between them closed, the Hero said, "Let's use that!"
"I told you that this distance will affect us!" the Scholar said. "That's better!"
Boom! The moment the Scholar finished speaking, a large amount of … smoke appeared in front of the octopus.
The smoke instantly blocked their vision, but a second later, Star Gather's giant head flew out of the smoke.
Boom! At the same time, the smoke exploded into a dazzling light like a bomb. Star Conglomerate's head tilted to the side and its huge body flew towards the ground ….
"It's working!" the Hero said. "I didn't think there would be such a weapon!"
"Of course," the Scholar said. "There are still … many weapons here."
