While Iori encounters a magical girl and struggles to defeat her despite his best efforts, the silver-haired boy Ernesti, piloting a mecha, also encounters another formidable enemy while tracking Blitz. The bounty hunter uncle who was supposed to be his match has instead vanished without a trace.

"Let me make this clear first, I don't think you can win, Lady Knight."

The boy's voice emanated from the body of the twenty-meter-tall steel giant.

"If you don't want to get hurt by my beloved pet (partner), I advise you to retreat as soon as possible."

El's new machine fully demonstrates how greedy a plastic enthusiast can be when he has unlimited resources... Not only is it much larger than before, but its internal and external design has also far exceeded the "Phantom Knight" system.

"Knights & Magic" is a fantasy world where the mechs are powered by reactors made from the hearts of magical beasts, essentially making them a kind of magical artifact. Furthermore, the pace of technological advancement is extremely slow, with revolutionary new technologies often going for centuries.

As a person from another world, Ernesti has many wonderful ideas. After transmigrating, he led a trend of mechanical innovation and it is no exaggeration to say that he started a technological explosion. However, his ideas are still limited by "power", "material" and "CPU".

However, once they gain the "Acceptance Power," these restrictions become meaningless. After all, mecha enthusiasts are just a group of superficial data-driven people. In reality, as long as something is "cool" or "awesome," they can ignore its rationality and accept it.

—If we were to pursue logic, we wouldn't have chosen the humanoid mecha theme in the first place.

As a seasoned model kit enthusiast, El combined his extensive practical experience with the design of this new mecha, which he personally crafted, achieving a level of near perfection in both strength and appearance.

However, due to his personal insistence, he did not develop towards the "super type" (to be honest, that also requires a relatively high level of [acknowledgment]), but instead opted for a combination of floating cannons and melee guns and swords, with an overall appearance resembling an advanced version of the Wolf King Barbatos's long-range firepower.

As for destructive power, it absolutely surpasses that of most characters!

"Hmph, stop talking nonsense."

Alice, holding a long spear, scoffed and looked up at the terrifyingly large giant without any fear.

"In battle, bigger isn't always better. Someone as obvious as you doesn't even need to be aimed at. If you were in my homeland, you'd definitely be the perfect target for mages."

"Heh, MS has been saying that since its inception, but the era of concentrated bombardment is over. Bow down before my mysterious alloy armor!"

The "Phantom Knight's" eyes lit up, and the tip of his spear and sword rippled with lightning as he aimed at the ground, or more accurately, at the female warrior on horseback.

"Get out of the way!"

A dazzling beam of light shot out, cutting through the earth like a divine sword, splitting the road in two, and in the blink of an eye it struck Alice.

"You're the one who should cry if you lose, you brat!"

Amidst the chaotic smoke and rubble, Alice Tria rode her winged Pegasus into the sky, charging towards the Phantom Knight amidst the roar of hooves and engine fire.

Buzz-buzz-buzz-!

The gun and sword swung back and forth, adjusting the firing parameters. Under El's skillful control, the gun fired frequently, almost like an autonomous cannon, despite being manually operated. Beams of light shot towards Alice like bullets.

It pierced through the space, scorched the atmosphere, and instantly raised the temperature dramatically.

Faced with this overwhelming onslaught, Alice showed no fear whatsoever. Her bright green eyes, free of any gloom, stared straight ahead as she abruptly pulled on the reins of her Pegasus.

"call--!"

Pegasus made an incredible evasive maneuver, almost as if it were flying around the pillar of light, passing through the gaps in the attack.

Amidst the roar of the engine, the magically formed wings emitted a magnificent aurora-like color, and the beautiful figure flashed through the space.

"Zheng!"

Alice rode her warhorse through the line of fire and arrived before the Phantom Knight.

Although she had no experience fighting such steel constructs, she possessed an extraordinary instinct as a warrior—she treated it as if she were hunting a Cyclops!

So she thrust her spear forward, unleashing a powerful gust of wind that propelled her tireless magical warhorse to its peak speed, transforming it into a siege engine capable of breaking through any defense.

Its target is not the mech's head—as everyone knows, the head and feet are just decorations.

That's the location of the heart, and it's also where El's cockpit is!

"Don't think about it!"

Inside the 360-degree panoramic cockpit, El observed everything around him without obstruction. The moment Alice rushed over, he was caught in a strange state of excitement and calm.

Despite his young age and cute appearance, he is actually a veteran of countless battles. Even setting aside theoretical knowledge, he is a first-class magician with the strongest mental fortitude and reaction speed among his peers.

"You think you can win like this? You're so naive!"

After a dazzling display of operation, the exterior of the colossus mech began to change.

The structure behind it unfolded like an antenna, and as magic flowed, it seemed to be coated with a layer of light. With a slight bulge, it formed rainbow-colored wings.

"Light wings spread out!"

The lance, carrying the pressure of a tornado, pierced the mecha head-on—the afterimage!

With a crisp shattering sound, the afterimage of the magic dissipated, and the mecha itself easily broke free from the constraints of the atmosphere. Its massive body moved as nimbly as a bird, suddenly shifting backward dozens of meters.

"So fast!"

She couldn't understand how this thing moved at all, but Alice didn't panic. She had faced more difficult battles and more bizarre opponents before, so she urged her warhorse to continue breaking through the atmosphere and thrust its straight and fearless spear towards the mecha's main body.

"Vacuum Domain Limited Deployment!"

Alice felt the space around her suddenly tremble, accompanied by an electric-like sensation that swept through her body, and the entire atmosphere was instantly "emptied".

An unimaginable pressure difference descended upon every corner of her body; the female knight had never realized that the atmosphere could be such a terrifying thing.

This is a domain supported by light wings. It doesn't actually completely expel the air, but rather uses wind magic to create an environment that is almost a vacuum.

"Ugh, ahhh!"

With bloodshot eyes and an extraordinary physical strength, Alice finally couldn't bear it any longer. She stretched out her left arm and let out a barely audible shout in the incredibly thin air: "Gaz von Belrich!"

The magical arm armor passed down through generations of the Wang family emitted a mysterious light at this moment, flowing over Alice's body like water, instantly easing her tension.

Pegasus felt the same way. With its power boosted, it used its thin wings, formed by vibrating magic, to turn around and soar into the sky, quickly leaving the vacuum.

"Come, gather the magic of the earth and sky into my body, and summon the power of lightning falling from the heavens!"

Alice raised her arms high, and the ancient arm armor emitted an even more intense divine light, causing thunder to rumble in the clear sky for no apparent reason.

"O spirit of lightning, vanquish all my enemies!"

"boom--!"

A torrent of lightning, as thick as a blue dragon, suddenly fell from the cloudless sky!

As Alice said before, a mech of that size is indeed an excellent target on the battlefield, and even aiming at it seems like a waste.

"Boom, bang, bang!"

Bolts of lightning struck the colossus mech, the silver and blue lightning flashing and carrying thousands of arcs of lightning down, enveloping the steel giant that was over twenty meters tall.

"Ugh, ahhhhhh—!"

Although he was protected from direct electric shocks while inside the specially treated cockpit, the different magical systems caused El to slip through his defenses. The leaked current rushed through his pilot suit, making his whole body tremble and tense up.

"Damn it! This is unexpected!"

Clenching his teeth, El stretched out his hands with all his might to continue controlling the control panel—this boy was much stronger than he appeared.

"Main gun activated!"

El suddenly clenched his fist and slammed it down, and the mech reacted accordingly.

Of course, it wasn't going to attack Alice with guns and swords; the current mechs would probably have difficulty ensuring accuracy. So it simply concentrated its enormous energy in its chest, storing it like a cannonball.

Its target was Alice, the female knight who had already charged forward!

"Now... there's no way I can hold back!"

Without any further hesitation, El unleashed the ray device on the mech's chest.

"Chest cannons are the romance of mecha!"

An enormous energy beam streaked across the sky, narrowly avoided by the female knight on horseback.

"call……"

She landed lightly on her warhorse again, and before Alice could even catch her breath, a deafening sound reached her.

"Rumble..."

Alice turned her head slightly and looked at him; her pupils suddenly contracted.

The source of the strange noise was the building that had been struck by the rays and was now collapsing layer by layer!

The solid steel and concrete, at this moment, were as fragile as plastic, inevitably and helplessly sliding downwards.

"So this is the target?!"

Alice tried to dodge, but the area was too large, and at the crucial moment, El shot out a beam of light to obstruct it, resulting in her being completely buried by the building.

"Miss Knight... will you be alright?"

El frowned slightly, muttered something, then raised his gun and sword, aimed them at the concrete ruins, gathering an intensely concentrated energy, waiting for something.

He had no hatred for the female knight and did not want to hurt her unless necessary, but since he had stepped onto the battlefield, he, as a trained warrior, would not make any low-level mistakes.

……

With Ernesti held back by Alice, Uncle Blitz had no intention of helping. Instead, he used a gravity manipulation device to navigate through complex pipes and abandoned buildings, eventually finding several hidden cameras.

As a bounty hunter from a cyberpunk world, he naturally possessed some hacking skills. He immediately turned on his portable computer and began hacking into the network. The mere monitoring firewall was of course no match for him, and he successfully located the target location.

Then, following the battle plan—which he himself had devised—he used a communicator to summon someone.

About half an hour later, the operations headquarters in the underground bunker received one, no, two uninvited guests.

"Is it finally here?"

When Meteora saw the two figures on the surveillance footage, he nodded as expected.

She did set some traps, but they were clearly not enough to really stop the enemy.

Given the vast disparity in strength, there were no military or similar guards stationed near this underground command center... the only real means of defense was to defend against it.

When Blitzcrank and his summoned henchman, the Demon King Oppai, arrived at an empty plaza, looking for a passage to the underground, that person appeared.

With long, dark blue hair, a pure white dress, and a face as pure as flawless crystal, she possessed a face that evoked pity... but from any angle, she didn't seem like the type who could serve as a fighting force.

"I remember... it should be called 'Saya', right?"

Blitz took a deep drag on his cigarette. "Phew, I never thought I'd have to fight such a delicate girl."

"weak?"

The Demon King glanced at Blitz, his helmet obscuring his expression, but it was clearly tinged with sneer.
