Chapter 269: Substitute
Due to the concealment of the Hidden Dragon Slayer Magic, it was difficult for Kira and Silver to sense Doken's condition. They didn't expect that they were ambushed by him just when they were distracted and talking for a few words!
Silver is broken!
He fell to the ground with a thud, his eyes lifeless, and his body, which looked just like a human, had a large hole in the chest caused by invisible magic, revealing the metal, gears, and wires inside... and a few tiny crackling electric currents.
No way? Silver is dead just like that?
In everyone's eyes, Silver was a wizard who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Kira. Even Kira himself thought so. How could such a strong man be killed so quietly?
This change shocked everyone present, not only Kira, but even Jellal, Urrutia and Eric were unable to react. The expressions on everyone's faces could only be described as dumbfounded.
"Hey! Silver! Are you okay?"
Kira rushed over yelling. Although he didn't look like he was okay, at this moment he just hoped that the attack just now didn't hurt the vital parts of the mechanical life!
The moment Kira helped Silver up, he found that his body was cold.
"It cools down so quickly?! Oh, that's not right! Silver is a mechanical race, maybe his body is naturally cold?"
Kira was not very clear about how big the difference was between mechanical life and humans , but he knew that someone with Silver's personality would definitely not have no backup plan!
"I'm not dead yet!"
Sure enough, the next moment, Silver's corpse suddenly spoke. Except for Kira who was prepared, Jellal and the other two were all shocked.
"Is this person dead or not?"
"It looks like he's not dead!"
"They are still alive. The mechanical race has a very strong vitality..."
Through the big hole, Kira could clearly see the inside of Silver's body. There was red and white, but it was not blood and brain matter, but wires and metal. After ten seconds, he could only sigh helplessly. He really couldn't understand this thing.
Although he had made many magic props, Kira was really familiar with magic, not machinery! The current scene was really beyond his area of expertise.
"How are you going to recover? Use that memory metal to make up for it?"
Silver's voice system seemed to be damaged, and his voice became hoarse: "The robot and the institute are constructed differently! Metal can't fill the gap!"
"What should we do then?"
After asking, Kira felt that his question was too stupid! If a person's chest was pierced with a big hole, would he know how to deal with it? The current situation definitely needs treatment, but how to save him? There is no mechanical flesh and blood supplement in this world, nor is there mechanical super-speed regeneration magic.
Thinking of this, Kira looked troubled: "I don't know any repair techniques in this area! Can you still perform surgery on yourself in this condition?"
Silver replied, "It's impossible. This body is completely broken and can't be repaired!!"
"Urutia! Can you use your Arc of Time to repair it?"
"I can't help it. Mechanical life is also life. My magic has no effect on it!"
Kira looked regretful: "That can't be helped! Do you have any last words?"
"Don't worry! I won't die!"
Bang!
As if all his energy was exhausted, Silver's head tilted and his hands scattered, and his body completely shut down.
"Silver! Brother!! Wow!!! How could you die like this?! Our cooperation has just begun!"
Kira held Silver's body and yelled, his voice without tears, "There is no other way. Since you are already dead, as your best brother, I will take over your research institute without hesitation!"
A voice came from the ceiling: "Hey! I told you I'm not dead yet!"
Kira: ? ? !!
"This body is just one of the mechanical puppets I created, not the real body!"
“…”
puppet?
Kira looked at Silver's lifeless body on the ground in surprise. So you are a stand-in?
"So you're totally fine? You wasted all my expressions!"
I act every day, but in the end I can’t escape the fate of being acted!
Kira's expression froze for a moment, and he threw Silver to the ground without any courtesy, kicking him twice without leaving a trace. However, he finally resisted the urge to collect the thing and take it back to study it - after all, it looked a bit strange to collect something that looked like a man !
Silver's voice continued to come from the ceiling: "It's not okay! A mechanical substitute like this that can be controlled remotely and can also use my magic will cost me a lot of materials and time! I only have a few in total, and this is one of the best ones!"
Kira didn't know how many substitute robots Silver had, but since they could be described as "that batch", there must be quite a lot of them!
"Sure enough, you have so much money that it's unimaginable!"
He turned and walked towards Doken. Since Silver couldn't fight anymore, he would have to do it himself!
"Is it finally your turn, little red-haired devil?" Feeling the surging magic power gradually gushing out of Kira, Doken's expression became serious, "I know that you are the strongest among you! Come on! I can't wait to fight you!"
This uncle...is also a warlike guy!
Kira pretended to be modest: "The title of 'strongest' is just an empty title! It's nothing but empty talk!"
"You heard it just now, right? The guy lying on the ground is just a mechanical puppet. His real body is much stronger!"
As he spoke, he raised his right hand and took off the blue-purple short cape on his shoulders, then threw it back casually, covering the big hole in Silver's chest. "Originally, we have no grudges against each other. If I had met you somewhere else, maybe we could have become business partners in the future!"
Doken looked at Kira with interest. "Oh? What do you want to say? There should be a 'but', right?"
"But! You just attacked Silver! Although we have known each other for a short time, we are already business partners. Since we are partners, you hit him, so I have to get back for him. Isn't this normal?"
"Very normal!" Doken answered cooperatively, with an expectant look on his face. Heavy magic power also surged around his body, and he confronted Kira.
As Kira approaches, the magical pressure on the two gradually increases.
The magic on Doken's body was like clouds and mist, pure and flawless; the magic on Kira's body was like waves in the ink sea, dark and strange.
This battle between a middle-aged man and a young man represents not only the peak battle between different generations of their respective continents, but also the collision of two legendary magics from ancient and modern times!
The magic power was as thick as substance, constantly squeezing and colliding in the semi-enclosed space, causing the magic density in the air to soar linearly. In the end, even the extremely solid room seemed unable to withstand such an expansion and began to tremble slightly and groan softly.
This scene made Gerard and the other two secretly smack their lips in amazement.
"The amount of magic power these two have is simply astonishing!"
"This kind of character, who doesn't care about anything when their 'partners' are bullied, is indeed the behavior of people from 'Fairy Tail'!"
"That's not right! I think it's Kira who wants to fight, right?"
Only when Kira officially faced Doken did he realize how strange his magic was and how weird his magic was.
"The abilities you have demonstrated so far seem to be within the scope of 'Hidden', but in fact, your magic is not just that simple, or in other words, 'Hidden Dragon Slayer Magic' is not as simple as it seems!"
Analyzing the enemy's strength before the battle can undermine the enemy's confidence. This is one of Kira's common tactics. Even if the enemy doesn't buy it, it can help Kira sort out his thoughts and formulate a battle plan.
Hearing Kira's words, Doken suddenly chuckled: "Oh? Tell me about it?"
Kira was neither arrogant nor impatient, and spoke in a calm and steady tone: "Hiding your figure, breath, and magic fluctuations is a hidden magic in the Hidden Dragon Slayer Magic. Opening a different space channel around the body to form an absolute defense, which can transfer the opponent's magic or other substances, is a space magic;"
"These two spells, one is passive and the other is defensive, but when you attacked Silver just now, you didn't use any of them, but the last one, the attack magic belonging to Hidden Dragon!"
Doken: “…”
"You used the hidden passive skill to block Silver and I's perception. If someone with less experience had thought it was simply an 'invisible attack', they would not have thought that you did this to cover up the most powerful feature of this magic!"
Doken remained silent, and Jellal and the other two were indeed confused, not knowing what Kira was talking about, but soon, Kira began to explain.
Kira looked at Doken and said seriously, "The most powerful thing about the Hidden Dragon Slayer Magic is that its attack can completely eliminate the target from this world. It is a magic with the attribute of 'disappearance'!"
