I rely on myself

Chapter 887 Battle

With the help of the thrusters, Barbatos rushed towards the Fiery Rezt machine like an arrow. Its sharp claws forged from rare metals pierced through the nano-layer armor without hesitation. Fortunately, at the critical moment, Julieta reacted and manipulated the body to rise suddenly, thus avoiding the fate of having the cockpit pierced by the sharp claws.

However, the price to pay was that the left leg of the machine was torn off by Barbatos's sharp claws, causing it to suffer severe damage again.

The loss of its left leg caused the machine to lose balance for a moment. Although Julieta quickly reacted and adjusted herself, during this delay, Barbatos caught up with her again and raised the super-large hammer spear in his hand, wanting to give her the final blow.

"Fall, you troublesome guy." Mikazuki whispered, and at the same time, his hands moved without any hesitation. Just as he was about to swing the hammer down, a burst of bullets from below hit Barbatos, slightly interrupting his movement.

Although she didn't know what was going on, Julieta seized the opportunity and quickly manipulated the machine to create distance.

Seeing the prey that was originally in his grasp escape, it was impossible for Mikazuki not to feel angry, so he looked in the direction where the bullet came from and asked, "Who!"

The other party had no intention of hiding anything and showed up openly. It was the once familiar enemy - Simongli, but his current appearance should be more accurately called Simongli Vidal, and the person sitting inside was naturally Galio.

Seeing the look Barbatos was giving him, Galio replied directly: "Nice to meet you again, but this is only natural, isn't it?"

"It's you." Although the appearance of the machine has changed a lot, Mikazuki still recognized who the other person is based on his own senses, and his expression instantly became solemn.

As the two of them were confronting each other, Julieta suddenly asked Galio, "Why are you here? Didn't you say that I would be the one to hold this guy back?"

When she said this, Julieta looked obviously unconvinced.

Galio was helpless about Julieta's behavior, but he still patiently explained, "That was indeed the decision before, but isn't it true that plans cannot keep up with changes? Except for you, all other members of the team were shot down, and you are obviously at a disadvantage. In this case, Lesdal naturally had no choice but to send me here to support you."

"........."

Julieta gritted her teeth. Although she wanted to refuse loudly, she was still clear about the condition of her body at the moment, and the battle just now was very clear. With her strength, she could not compete with the demon in front of her.

Seeing Julieta silent without any rebuttal, Galio knew she was unwilling, but that was the fact, so he could only persuade her: "Instead of worrying about this, you might as well return home as soon as possible. After all, your machine is in such a state now, let alone helping, it's good enough not to cause trouble. It's better to go back and repair the machine earlier so that you can come to support earlier. Do you understand!"

"...Don't bother me, I know what to do!"

Julieta retorted weakly, but she finally listened to Galio's advice and controlled the machine to leave here and return.

It would be a lie to say that Sanriku didn't want to stop this scene, but he was very sure that once he took action, the guy confronting him would definitely stop him, so he had no choice but to let him go.

After watching Julieta walk away for a certain distance, Galio spoke to Mikazuki again: "Well, the troublesome guy is gone, so it's our turn. You are right in thinking so, right?"

Galio said this in a very affirmative tone, and Mikazuki did not refute it at all, and replied directly: "Well, it won't be too late to kill her when we meet again. As for you, I'm going to do it!" As soon as the words fell, Mikazuki did not hesitate at all, and directly controlled Barbatos to raise the hammer spear and pierce Ximengli's chest, obviously intending to kill him with one blow.

Galio had anticipated this, and while activating a certain function, he replied, "I knew it, so I will also give it my all from the beginning... Let's go, Ain!"

In an instant, Ximengli's eyes also burst into scarlet light, and he immediately responded to Barbatos' attack, also raising the large drill gun to meet the attack head-on.

"Qiang!"

At the moment when the two large and massive weapons collided, the faint sound of metal collision echoed all around.

The next moment, the two weapons separated after the confrontation, but neither side showed any intention of retreating and continued to move forward.

Sanriku was the first to attack, and his hammer spear was followed by his sharp claws, which pierced straight into Ximengli's chest armor, but was blocked by Ximengli's shield the next moment.

Ximengli's shield is operated by a robotic arm on its back. Thanks to the wide range of motion of the robotic arm, the shield's own defense angle is also very wide.

While blocking the attack, Ximengli also began to fight back. When he raised the large drill gun again and was about to attack, Barbatos' tail blade suddenly struck and knocked the large drill gun off balance.

Taking advantage of the gap when the opponent's attack was blocked, Barbatos raised his hammer and wanted to attack, but Ximengli reacted quickly and kicked him directly.

Seeing this, Barbatos had to switch from offense to defense and used the hammer in his hand to block the attack, but he was still knocked back by the force of the kick. At the same time, Ximengli took the opportunity to increase the distance between the two sides with the help of the thrusters.

Mikazuki, whose machine had stabilized again, looked at this scene and naturally would not let the other party go. He immediately stepped on the pedal, and with the help of the thrusters, the Barbatos burst out at an astonishing speed the moment it started, catching up with Ximengli.

Naturally, Galio also saw this scene, and he quickly manipulated the body to raise the large drill gun. The two built-in machine guns on it fired continuously, trying to stop Barbatos's advance.

Faced with this level of obstruction, Mikazuki would naturally not retreat. While continuing to pursue, he also occasionally fought back with the 200mm cannon built into his arm.

While the two were entangled, on the other side, on the flagship of the Arianhrd fleet, Lesdal also received the news that Julieta was returning.

"Sure enough, it's too much for Julieta to deal with that monster alone." When Lesdal heard that Julieta's machine was severely damaged and returned, he was not too surprised. He was more concerned about the current situation: "Although we have the upper hand overall, we will win sooner or later if we continue to fight, but the loss will be too great... Notify everyone to act according to the plan!"

"Yes!"
