1826 We Are Dragons After All!
-----
Kate had followed Emil and Benladra even when she remained with Mirand and Benladann through the power of her abilities.
"Yes it"s me," Kate nodded. "It"s a special Avatar I"ve been designing for some time. It is much stronger than any of my other machines, and I"ve managed to reinforce its toughness and power thanks to the technology I absorbed from the machines of this world."
"Oh that"s really nice!" Benladra celebrated. "Will you help us hack the machines or the doors?"
"I"m on it already," Kate said, her luminescent eyes glowing neon blue in color.
"Emil, which room is it?" Kate asked, as they ran through the corridors while Kate fired powerful beams of electricity from her little mechanical hands.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"Over there! That one!"
Emil pointed at the left door, as Kate nodded, sending a shockwave of hacking signals.
FLASH!
Suddenly, the mechanical door instantly opened, as everyone ran inside.
"Everyone!"
Emil entered the room where they had his people captive, finding several dozens of his kind encapsulated and unconscious. And then, several robots showing up, as if preemptively waiting for them to appear and beginning to shoot from enormous machineguns attached to their arms.
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
The machineguns started firing immediately after, so fast that Emil and his incredibly quick thought process was the only one capable of seeing them coming. Benladra, Kate, and the spirits behind him couldn"t move in time.
"{Mind"s Marble}!"
Desperately and while bleeding from his nose due to the excessive amount of energy he had to use from his brain, Emil managed to conjure his Mind Marble, expanding it around him and creating a protective layer for everyone.
The laws of physics were defied as he quickly sent all bullets flying back towards the robots, this time, he had to be precise if he didn"t want the people in the tubes to die instead!
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
The bullets reached all targets, immediately blasting their bodies into pieces. As this happened, Emil quickly noticed several more robots coming from the back!
"Emil, you saved us again!"
Benladra quickly rushed towards the robots on her own, swinging her holy spear and piercing their bodies with rapid thrusting attacks, explosions of piercing light being released with each blow.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
As this happened, Kate rushed inside of the room and quickly expanded her Living Domain, who forcefully overtook nearby robots and forced them to shield everyone else from the incoming bullets.
In this trial which had been adjusted to be incredibly hard, even these bullets could damage these divine beings quite a lot, it was absolutely necessary to take them out or defend from them.
"{Mechanical Fusion}!"
FLUOSH!
Kate"s avatar swung her hands, as the machines started melting and merging together into a ma.s.sive crab-like creature, which started smashing the smaller enemy robots into pieces.
CLANK! CLANK! CLANK!
At the same time, she summoned more machines from her Living Domain"s powers, which helped at acting like decoy and bait for the enemy robots to attack instead.
At the same time, Emil with Gabriel and Belle rushed to free the aliens, one after another, they were freed from their tubes while Emil protected them all using his {Mind Marble}.
"Uuggh… Guuggh…!"
However, they weren"t in good condition just like the others, they were struggling to breath and were constantly spasming, only a few, the more vigorous youngsters seemed to have snapped out of it, gasping in disbelief.
Gabriel and Belle kept them from dying by healing them or keeping their minds calm. Gabriel was quite proficient at healing, and his huge robot body transformed several shields of metal and light to protect them. Meanwhile Belle made their minds have calm dreams, soothing their exasperation.
"Now it"s your turn!"
Emil quickly opened his hands as a tiny Anti-Mold "Slime" leaped out of it. This was something Benladra left with him so he could heal everyone.
From a tiny Anti-Mold slime, by absorbing lifeforce, it quickly exploded and became much larger. Emil offered some of his lifeforce, as the creature quickly turned into many little slimes made of liquid gold-like substance.
They leaped into the dying bodies of Emil"s kind, rapidly parasitizing them and healing their bodies and even minds, filling them with vitality.
Anti-Mold was without a doubt the complete opposite to Mold, instead of devouring and infecting something to turn it into some undead-like creature, it healed, and heightened their lifeforce and vitality, filling them with energy and sometimes even making them stronger.
"It"s working! They"re back!"
Emil smiled in relief as he saw his people quickly wonder what was happening, sitting down and looking around in confusion. Although this was no time to relax there were still dozens more of robots everywhere.
"This"ll end now!"
He quickly closed his fists, as his Mind Marble expanded for 1 second, enough for enemy robots within range to explode into pieces as he crushed them with the invisible force of his mind.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Silence took over the room, and everyone sighed in relief. Also it seemed like Benladra had taken care of the robots outside, running into the room.
"Emil! Hurry! We have to go fetch the rest! How many are left?"
"There should be two more rooms left!"
"Okay, let"s do this!"
FLASH!
Benladra suddenly absorbed her own Divine Aura and transformed, shapeshifting into a wingless, smaller version of her draconic form, although still being as huge as five meters, running in four legs, she carried Emil and everyone else on her wide back covered with white scales and feathers.
"I had no idea you could transform, Benladra! This is amazing!"
Emil was shocked as he saw Benladra rush through the corridors at lightning speed.
"We"re dragons after all! Where to, Emil?"
"Over there!"
Emil pointed into the distance and Benladra nodded, kicking the metallic door open and then placing the Tiamat Scale shield in front of her through her Aura Hands.
Right before yet another rain of bullets was about to reach them!
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
