Fantasy Clock～Dream Ruler～

"The first participant in previous Domination Wars must be the No. 1 Ruler of the No. 1 Clock! This Domination War is no exception. But this time "No. 1" was sent by the observers with their own selfish desires." messenger"!"

Number 1 of clock number six——Zhihei raised his sharp eyebrows and lifted the frame of the mirror on the bridge of his nose.

"Its name is, 'Fallen Soul', right?"

Arquette frowned slightly, and pressed the knuckles of her index finger to the middle of her lips.

"Yes! You have fought against Clock No. 1 and killed their two rulers in the early stage. I think you must know more about them. So I think it's best for us to do this. suitable!!"

"Let us be the targets of the former investigation team to investigate the Fallen Soul...isn't it?"

"That's right! "Fallen Soul" hasn't started to act for a long time, it's better to say that it's looking for something."

Zhiping found that fallen souls often appear recently, which is uncharacteristically compared to never showing up before. This shows that what the fallen soul is looking for is in the cracks of the dream. The goal of investigating the Fallen Soul is the task of clocks No. 3 and No. 6 now.

"That being said...but splitting up is really an irrational decision..."

Arkaite, who was standing in front of Xinghai Tavern, took a step back and stood firm. Yin stood beside him and faced the enemy in front of him. As for Yingzi and Wang Yahui, they both stood behind Arkaite.

The sound of the stick waving the air was full of menace. The Mirror Master hooked the swinging stick and put it on his shoulders, raised his face and looked at the four of Arquette disdainfully, with Reina and Lantern standing on either side of him.

This kind of situation is really bad for Arquette, who is not good at confrontation...

"Hey! Can anyone hear me!? We have encountered the ruler of Clock No. 1, please inform others to arrive at Xinghai Tavern as soon as possible! The big target has not yet appeared, but there are three...four other people present..."

Alket didn't continue to explain the situation here, because his "eyes of insight" had already noticed that someone had activated the dominance ability of signal blocking. Even if he continued speaking, the other party could not hear his own voice.

"Your 'messenger' is hiding nearby, isn't it?"

The four of them alone couldn't handle it. Unable to determine whether anyone heard the distress message, Arkat had no choice but to find a way to restore the communication channel to notify backup. For this the location of the courier must be found.

"Ah, yes!! Stop talking to me! Where is that kid Lin Yu?"

"I know you guys are not interested in our No. 3 clock, but asking where other people are in front of us, and showing such a casual attitude, you are underestimating us too much!"

As soon as the words fell, Arkaite took a step back, and at the same time, a magic guided machine gun appeared in Yin's hand. The next second, dazzling light bullets exploded from the gun's muzzle, sweeping in all directions ahead, and a golden magic circle spread all over the sky. .

"Solve it--"

Silver whispered in a hoarse voice. The one-time depletion of bullets proves that the magic guided machine gun is used as a weapon such as a grenade. After the bullets are exhausted, the gun body will reflect a golden light, and then disappear.

The strong impact of the bullet caused the air to be filled with smoke that obstructed the view, and a strong wind blew past to disperse the gathered fog, and the vision of Arquette and the others became visible——

"It's really impossible..."

The water curtain separating the two sides appeared at some point, blocking the incoming light bullets from the shield. Reina waved her fan, put away her forward hand in a calm manner, and the water curtain that lost her control immediately dispersed into water all over the ground.

"Oh. Your offensive is over now? But it's useless at all, it doesn't hurt at all!"

The Mirror Master yelled loudly while gnashing his teeth, and at the same time he swung his right hand forward and threw the throwing stick. The puddles of water flowing on the ground turned out to be as clear as a mirror after light refraction, and immediately reflected the inverted image of the stick.

"Infinity, mirror image—"

As soon as the words fell, the swing stick that escaped from the water surface splashed water droplets in all directions. Five or six throwing sticks couldn't tell which one was the main body, and they all flew straight to Yin at the front with the momentum of piercing his forehead.

Wang Yahui, who was standing at the back, immediately rushed to Yin's front, spreading his arms that turned into steel and hit the violent impact.

"Bang!"

The sound of metal clashing was heard five times in a row. Wang Yahui barely blocked the swing stick with his steel body, but the actual impact left inconspicuous dents on all parts of his body.

Leina's movement of waving the fan froze for a moment, she frowned and looked at Wang Yahui in disgust, then sneered.

"You rely on your own body of steel to block the attack with your own body... Really, it's extremely stupid."

"I don't care if this is stupid or not! As long as it works, you have nothing to say, right?"

Wang Yahui endured the pain in all parts of his body, looked up at Leina, and fought back not to be outdone.

"Tch, it was only blocked once, so stop being self-righteous!!"

The mirror master stretched out his hand forward to catch the flying stick, glanced sideways at the lantern beside him, and easily threw the stick with his right hand to his left hand. He took a step back to make a good posture, and threw the stick to the water mark on the ground .

Wang Yahui made sufficient preparations, stood firm and stared at the trajectory of the objects in the air, raising the hardness of his body to a new level. But immediately his vision was occupied by dazzling light, and he couldn't see anything except white light.

"Damn it... is it the control ability of that weirdo?"

If he was deprived of his vision, then Wang Yahui would not have the confidence to block all the sticks 100%.

However, fortunately, someone can replace the lost vision to direct our actions——

"Wang Yahui! Right now, he's using the infinite mirror image!"

Knowing that she couldn't see even if she opened her eyes, Alcatel simply closed her eyes and gave her whole body to the "Eye of Insight".

"Right hand, raise it to the top! Then move one step to the right, yes! Now stay where you are!"

The command's voice merged with the sound of metal colliding, and the first three attacks were all successfully blocked by the cooperation of Alket and Wang Yahui. But such an action has always been a disadvantage in terms of agility.

For example, now there are two throwing sticks attacking Wang Yahui's two sides, blocking the left one will not reach the right.

The lanterns used their dominance ability continuously, and just as their vision showed signs of recovery, white light hit their vision like a cannonball. The voice under the pumpkin mask became more and more frantic, as if immersed in a strange pleasure.

"Hey... tell me, where is Lin Yu?" The trembling voice fell into a morbid state.

Alket knew in his heart that in this case, the decision of the decision maker is the key to victory. Everyone's vision has been deprived, so they can only trust Arquette's instructions without leaving any room.

While giving instructions quickly, it is necessary to take care together.

"Sakura! Now, it's your maid team's turn! From now on, Wang Yahui, you take five steps back. Your task now is to protect Yingzi and prevent her from getting hurt. Do you all understand?"

Wang Yahui, who received the instructions, did not hesitate, and stepped back five steps to the front of Yingzi. At the same time, Sakurako responded with a hum, and snapped her fingers to summon all her attendants to the vicinity.

Among the four of them, if you want to compare Arquette to "decision-making power", Yin to "deterrence power", and Wang Yahui to "defense power", then Yingzi must be the "containment power" among them.

The individual strength of the battle maids is not strong, but relying on their numbers, they are enough to be a force to contain the enemy. The other party must first get rid of this restraining force, and then they can target the rest of them.

That being the case, Wang Yahui's "defensive power" should be used as the guard to protect the "containment power".

"Damn flies, just relying on such small tricks... let's see how long you can last!"

The falling stick hit the rushing waiter like a mortar, and the sound of unstoppable force piercing through the flesh was very clear in the ears of Arkay, who lost his vision. Even if he couldn't see it, he could imagine the crystal chips flying across. scene.

"In any case, the effect of delaying time is at least effective... Alright, Silver!"

"Hehe, is it finally my turn..." Yin laughed with a dry voice, holding the staff and listening attentively.

"For you, I have only one instruction—" Arkat said solemnly, holding his breath, "Attack your front with all your strength! No matter you have any novel new props, use them as you like."

Although it was meant to let Gin play as he pleases, Arquette's instructions to him were by no means casual.

Silver's attack method is the magic item he brought. In some respects, his dominance ability is very similar to that of Elus on the second clock. They both have countless moves that can be used, so they must not be restricted indiscriminately.

Alcatel can always indicate to his teammates where the next attack will come from, but he cannot direct them where to attack, because "the enemy is clear and we are dark", they have visible vision, and even the perfect offensive will be seen through.

Instead of specifying each step accurately, it is better to take the chance of hitting the right one and let Yin play his offensive at will.

"Heh... no matter how comprehensively you think about it, ants are ants after all." Mirror Master snorted coldly, "No matter how resourceful you are, it can't compare to the absolute advantage of dominance. This is all a meaningless struggle !!"

Arket's instructions did change the situation to some extent, but it did not lead to a reversal of the situation. In the eyes of the Mirror Master, there was a fatal disadvantage to Alket's chosen policy.

[However, I can't blame you for this... It's because your team lacks this power. 】

The Mirror Master deliberately stepped lightly, put the swinging stick dragged on the ground to his shoulder, and approached Arquette calmly.

With the eyes of insight, Arkaite can detect any signs of the use of the dominant ability, so he cooperates with his companions to complete a seemingly impeccable defense. Here he acts as the decision-making power and observation power.

And this fatal disadvantage is the "observation power" played by Arquette. He doesn't have anyone else on his team who can fill that position, so he needs to play both roles.

Capable of perceiving all dominance. To put it another way, he wouldn't be able to detect attacks that didn't use his dominance ability.

[I admit that you are indeed an excellent decision-making power. But you are still missing a key move. 】

The Mirror Master raised the corners of his mouth and pulled out a ferocious smile, grasped the swing stick on his shoulders, and controlled the force enough to penetrate the opponent, as if he was about to swing towards Arket's side face like a baseball swinger ready to go— —

The moment he swung the stick, a pair of faint blue electronic eyes appeared in front of the Mirror Master without warning. He blocked the Mirror Master's swing with his mechanical body, and his limbs were smashed to pieces, exposing the internal wires, turning into scrap copper and rotten iron. .

The heavy sound made Arkat notice someone beside him, and he instinctively took a step back in the direction opposite to the sound source.

"Really. I found that every time something happened, I was the first to discover and be the first to arrive." At the entrance of the alley, Lin Yu followed dozens of mechanical soldiers out of the shadows, and smiled normally, "Fortunately, this time I'm not late..."

"Waiting for you for so long, you are finally here, Lin Yu!"

The Mirror Master licked his dry lips. While laughing wildly, he stomped on the ground and rushed towards Lin Yu with his stick.

"Tsk. I never thought I would be so popular..."

As soon as the words fell, the dazzling silver sword light flashed in front of the mirror master, and the mirror master quickly used the force of the wall next to him to avoid the side and tried to escape, but the silver light that was far faster than expected pierced him at this moment side cheek.

The blood-stained cheeks were in fierce pain, but thanks to the stinging pain, the mirror master finally regained his composure, and he hastily backed away from the tea cat's attack range, putting on a state of alert.

The appearance of Lin Yu made the lantern temporarily forget to use its dominance ability as if continuing to bomb, and it recovered because it felt that Arquette and Lin Yu looked at each other, and replaced the tedious meeting greeting with a simple nod.

"It's only you, it's a shame you dare to come here..."

"Don't talk like that Kilt, Arquette. I'm not an idiot. I came here after receiving your distress signal with only half a sentence, and then notified the other people in the stronghold through the [public channel]."

"Fortunately, you are here." Afraid that he would be deprived of his vision again, he said while using the visible time to remember the surrounding positions and other situations, "The effect of the messenger blocking the signal is equivalent to defeating itself. "

"It's only now that I realize that your whole body is full of the GAY temperament of GAY..."

"Before discussing me, I think you should care about your own situation first."

"That's right..."

Lin Yu smiled wryly and turned his attention to the eyes, the mirror master and the lantern were all staring at him.

"Lin Yu~ You kept me waiting for a long time."

Lantern's tone was full of strange joy, and he stretched out his hands and pressed them on the pumpkin head's cheeks, looking a little sickly.

"Hey! I can still admit about the dark green pupil, but I don't want to blame the general."

"Nah.. It would be a disappointment to say such a thing now. Hahahahahahahaha—"

The laughter turned from deep to sharper, Wang Yahui immediately stepped forward and rushed to the front of Lin Yu, protecting Lin Yu and Yingzi behind his steel body, and then spread his arms.

"Anyway, it means that I should protect the "comrades who can restrain the enemy", right..."

"Don't get carried away!! You just have an extra target. Any signal here will be blocked, and your mind-reading tricks must also be affected, so you can't use it, right? Lin Yu!!"

When he said "cannot be used", the mirror master's voice suddenly used force, and the stick flew out with the arm he swung in front of him. Under the reflection of the water surface, more than a dozen inverted images of swinging sticks jumped out of the mirror, aiming at Lin Yu and shooting them out.

"It's strange, why am I a living target? What does it mean to be the target of your public criticism for no reason?"

Lin Yu, who kept cursing inwardly, controlled the troops in his left hand to attack the Mirror Master, but the bandaged left hand gradually turned bright red. Wang Yahui was mentally prepared to lose his vision at any time, so he blocked the first stick.

Perhaps seeing that there were many dents on his body, Yingzi bit her lower lip, and moved the waiters in the outer circle to Wang Yahui's body. With the sound of passing through the body, the messengers took the four sticks on Wang Yahui's behalf. shock.

Then the sound of metal collisions sounded one after another, and several heavy impacts hit each other without leaving any gaps, causing Wang Yahui's body to retreat along with the thrust, and his steps retreated several times to reduce the actual power caused.

"You are trying too hard! If you can't hold on, you must say it..."

In the middle of speaking, the shadow of depression covered my field of vision without warning, and uneasy thoughts flashed across my chest in an instant. But I didn't have time to say the words to remind me, a certain huge figure jumped out of the smoke and dust.

A strong pungent smell poured into my nasal cavity, and I couldn't help coughing violently. My vision was blocked by the arm I raised instinctively, and I jumped over the arm to look, only to see the figure who broke into us and then approached me.

At the same time, the last flying stick broke through the accumulated fog on the way. Wang Yahui resisted the impact with his arm, and then he ran towards me immediately, stopped his footsteps and turned sideways to the rear, and swung his steel-framed swing with all his strength. fist.

The fist that scattered the smoke collided with a pitch-black palm. Behind the smoke and dust that obstructed the line of sight, there were three pairs of empty eye sockets that shone with purple light. The enemy's whole body was composed of numbers with unknown meanings and pure black.

The center of the huge body was suspected to be its skeleton, but I took a closer look and found that it was the three-headed skeleton scepter with dark green pupils. This made me suddenly realize that the monster in front of me is the "Fallen Soul"

"Reinforced iron frame, just the hardness of the fire, isn't it?"

The pitch-black palms slowly drew together and squeezed Wang Yahui's iron fist. The strong sense of oppression made my legs useless, and my knees clashed tremblingly, making a sound that only I could hear.

"But...it's a useless ability after all." Fallen Soul bent down his huge body, patted Wang Yahui's shoulder with his free hand, and said seemingly unintentionally, "You must really hate "Metal Fatigue" .”

As soon as the words fell, the gleaming steel was crushed out of thin air, and the mournful cry rang through my ears. The Fallen Soul seemed to be sneering and straightened up, then suddenly raised his knees and rushed towards Wang Yahui's chest, smashing out blue crystal chips in an instant.

"No... Wang Yahui!"

Arkaite's eyesight suddenly froze, and he took two steps forward blindly, but Yin stretched out his hand to stop him behind him.

"I'm sorry, but I also hate metal fatigue. So, I'm not interested in your dominance."

The fallen soul opened its palm nonchalantly, and the powdery crumbs flew up into the sky with the sudden wind. It stepped over Wang Yahui's still dissipating body, and walked to me with heavy steps.

"Yin! Is there a way to rescue Lin Yu!"

Arquette was still stuck in Wang Yahui's death and couldn't turn around, and asked in a chaotic voice mixed with sadness.

"Now we have given our all to deal with the Mirror Master. Do you think we still have more strength?"

Silver's tone was still surprisingly calm. The sword protruding from the magic circle fell like raindrops towards the Mirror Master and the others.

With the loss of a member of one's own side and the leader of the opponent's joining the battlefield, Yin believes that it is the most ideal situation for himself and Arkaite to be able to hold back Mirror Master, Lantern, and Reina, and the rest is beyond what he can do. .

"It's you who stole the 'Thousand Men' Legion', right?"

Yingzi knew clearly that she was no match for the Fallen Soul, so she took two quick steps back and manipulated her waiter to come over.

"There's no reason not to repay something you stole. Your ability to control is not bad. There is interest on borrowings. I will take back the things you stole and take your "one man with a thousand faces" as interest. Isn't it too much?"

The fallen soul stretched out its palm enough to hold my whole body. At this moment, Lin Yu forgot to run away, but was thinking about the movement of a creature far beyond my size and level stretching out its palm. In my opinion, it would be slow like a slow motion. irrelevant matter.

In fact, it wasn't that he forgot to escape, but that his legs didn't work at all, and only his mind was running wildly, but his thoughts were full of incoherent trivial matters, but even the right to worry was blocked...

"We are one. Let me be you, let you be me, let's go back to being two."

In Lin Yu's broken murmur, it sounded like a low-pitched curse. Facing the approaching palm, Lin Yu finally thought about how to fight back. At the same time, the loud sound of tearing the air exploded with the flying objects.

As if hearing the cue from his companion, Lin Yu hastily propped up his bandaged hands on the ground, and moved his body back a short distance. The snap of the fingers in the next second made the flying screw in the air suddenly become huge.

The Fallen Soul let out an extremely displeased sigh, and dragged the black shadow made of floating numbers to dodge backwards. Immediately afterwards, a thumbtack about five meters long smashed into the place where the fallen soul was originally, and a huge crater was smashed out under the loud noise.

"Sure enough, I guessed correctly! The dominance possessed by this group of negative consciousness is indeed the dominance ability to devour others!" It was clearly a final testimony, but it came out of Zhiping's mouth with unreasonable enthusiasm.

"Hey... do you know... do you know that my devouring takes a long time to prepare..."

It seemed that violent emotions were suppressed deep in his throat, and the previously stable tone of the Fallen Soul was now gradually collapsing and going crazy.

"Do you know how long I have to prepare for interrupting me once?!"
