Chapter 40 Doll Girl
"Who are you?"
Looking at the machine girl in front of him, Duanmu Huai was stunned for a moment and hurriedly asked, while the machine girl waved her hand.
"Ah, please don't be nervous. Although I look like a doll, I am actually a human whose soul has been sealed here by an evil wizard! Can you please help me find my original body together?"
< br>
"………………"
What kind of inexplicable development is this?
Facing the request of the robot girl in front of him, Duanmu Huai felt a little baffled, but he nodded.
"No problem."
No matter what, at least I can finally meet someone here who I can communicate with, and let's listen to what she wants to say.
In this way, a strange robot girl joined Duanmuhuai and Ojisi's team.
She introduced herself as Mia, and she was originally a human being, but an evil wizard cast a spell that sealed her soul in a doll. And this sky city is the castle of the evil wizard. He put himself and others here as a display. In fact, the other dolls on the table are also victims of the wizard, but their souls have fallen into a deep sleep and cannot be awakened...
"Really, really thank you, sir, and miss."
Following the two of them, Mia looked grateful.
"This body is very stiff and difficult to move around, and the most disturbing thing is that the clothes have cute lace edges... If it hadn't been a doll's body now, I would have cried a long time ago. It's better now , if I am with you two, I feel that I will be able to regain my original body!”
"Uh..."
Hearing Mia's words, Duanmu Huai looked confused. To be honest, he always felt that this direction was weird. Sky City? Evil wizard? Doll? magic? No... Miss, this place has nothing to do with magic. From the time I came to Sky City to now, all I have seen are technological creations.
Including Mia's body. Although her appearance is similar to Ojis, Duanmuhuai can be sure that if Mia is smashed, there will definitely be various dense steel structures and cables inside - this is the same as Mia's body. Dolls like Ogis are completely different.
If you want to say that your consciousness is transmitted into the robot's body by some kind of device, it makes more sense!
Or maybe the consciousness of this Miss Mia comes from an indigenous person? If this is the case, it is not surprising that she would have this idea. After all, technological means such as consciousness transmission are indeed similar to magic in the eyes of these low-civilized natives.
Forget it, you’ll know when you go there.
Although they had doubts about Mia's words, at least under her guidance, the two of them had their next goals. So Duanmuhuai and Ojisi also followed Mia's guidance and continued to move towards the "evil wizard's residence".
Naturally, they encountered more enemies.
"Roar————!!!"
Duanmu Huai held the war hammer and rushed forward, colliding heavily with a burly machine guard. Its appearance was similar to the previous [Magic Steel Lion], but this time the robot's head was not a lion, but a The look of a tiger.
【Tiger of Steel】
【LV30】
Compared with [Magic Steel Lion], [Steel Tiger] has a higher level, but its attack power is not as strong as [Magic Steel Lion], but its defense power is very outstanding. It was still too low for Duanmu Huai to destroy an enemy of this level by himself, but fortunately, relying on the summoned puppets and cooperating with Ojis who was skimming the formation next to him, Duanmu Huai was able to kill the [Steel of Steel] in front of him. Tiger ], taking advantage of the opportunity for the opponent to swing his claws in the air, Duanmu Huai roared angrily, and hit the core behind the [Steel Tiger] directly with the war hammer in his hand, knocking it to the ground, and then swung out the hammer again, directly knocking it down. It was smashed into tatters.
"Huh..."
It wasn't until the last tiger robot fell to the ground that Duanmu Huai took a breath, and then summoned the [Repair Opportunity Skull] to start repairing the power armor. Just a few [Steel Tigers] reduced the durability of his power armor to less than 20%. If he did it again, the power armor would be broken into pieces.
What makes Duanmu Huai even more depressed is that there is no experience value for killing monsters in soul fragments. The same was true for the two soul fragments he had experienced before, Ogis's doll house and the scholar's haunted mansion. There are no experience points for killing monsters, and no experience points for completing tasks. You will only get soul cards.
This setting in the game is to prevent players from brushing up their levels. After all, just like the previous Haunted Mansion, players can start over again and again as long as the task is not completed. Therefore, it is also possible that some players deliberately take advantage of this feature, repeatedly grinding soul fragments as copies, and deliberately do not complete tasks to upgrade monsters. Therefore, in the game, there is no way for players to gain experience by killing monsters in Soul Fragments, and there is no experience for completing tasks - only soul cards will be given.
But...the BOSS level in this place won't exceed level 40.
Looking at the wreckage of the [Steel Tiger] in front of him, Duanmu Huai frowned. From the [Magic Steel Lion] just now, to the [Mechanical Soldier], and then to the [Steel Tiger]. Most of the monsters in this soul fragment map are between level 20 and level 30. If these robots were made by the "wizard" Mia mentioned, then his level is likely to be around level 40. Of course, this is not certain. Just like the scholar in the haunted mansion, his own level is not even level 10, and in the general technological world, individual strength levels are actually not high. At least for now, the monsters Duanmu Huai encounters in the Sky City are basically technological creations. If this is the case, then there is also the possibility that the individual "Wizard" level is not high.
Of course, in this setting, the opponent would usually create a powerful robot, but if his own strength was low, Duanmu Huai could use a puppet to assassinate him and bypass the BOSS battle to win.
Anyway, I hope it's not too dangerous.
Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai glanced at Ogis beside him. Although Ogis could fight against enemies around level 70, he did not want Ogis to take risks. Duanmu Huai currently has no cards in his hand that can be used to retrieve graves. Dolls can proliferate indefinitely, and ghosts can be transformed through dolls. Fortunately, it won't hurt if they are eliminated.
But if Ogis enters the cemetery, it will be difficult to fish her out.
According to the design of soul cards, after a servant enters the graveyard, it can only be awakened again through a card with [Summon of the Dead]. After using magic cards and spell cards and entering the graveyard, if you want to use them again, you need to consume X1000 experience points to reset the cards back to your hand.
Duanmu Huai currently does not have the [Call of the Dead] card in his hand, so he must proceed with caution.
Duanmu Huai has made up his mind. If the last BOSS here is really too difficult at the moment, then he will give up the strategy temporarily, go to other places to improve his strength, and then come back to finish it.
We can't let Ogis die here.
After defeating the attack of the machine army again, the group finally arrived in front of the palace of Sky City. At this moment, Mia suddenly raised her hand and pointed forward.
"Ah, there it is! That evil wizard!!"
Hearing Mia's words, Duanmuhuai and Ojisi both raised their heads and looked in the direction of Mia's finger. On the balcony on the second floor of the palace, a figure in a robe was standing there, looking coldly. stared at them.
"I didn't expect that you actually found a helper, Mia."
"Evil wizard, give me my body back quickly!!"
"Haha, stupid idiot, your body has long been my collection. I was originally very merciful and wanted to let you live in the form of a doll, but now it seems... it seems that I have to give you a little bit. Taught me a lesson..."
“…………………???”
Listening to the conversation between the wizard and Mia, Duanmu Huai frowned slightly. He always felt that something was not right. Logically speaking, the situation in this soul fragment is now very clear. A wizard... no matter who he is, in short, he extracted the soul of a girl named Mia from the body and injected it into the body of the robot. , then Mia asked for help, hoping that someone could defeat the wizard and get her body back.
It seems that the whole content is correct, but... Duanmu Huai always feels that it doesn't make sense.
Compared to the previous regrets of the puppet master and the contradictory emotions of the scholar, Mia's feelings did not seem to be intense enough to fix a sky city here and become soul fragments.
Especially the monsters in this sky city are not low-level and very powerful... Is this a fragmented world that a soul like Mia, who is sealed in a robot body, can create?
Is there any hidden secret in it?
Just as Duanmuhuai was thinking, he saw the cloaked man raising his hands.
"Wake up, my guard, and destroy these stupid intruders!"
"Dong...dong...dong...!!!"
Following the man's call, the door of the palace in front of him slowly opened. Then, one after another, large robots almost as big as Duanmu Huai walked out. Not only that, there were also floating robots above their heads. Some weird mechanical creations that don't look like humans at all - they have prismatic or circular cores surrounded by a circle of iron rings, like wonderful works of art suspended in the air.
[Large Mechanical Soldier] [Ancient Creation] [Analyzed Creation] [Mysterious Creation]
"Coming!!"
Looking at the Steel Corps in front of him, Duanmu Huai was shocked and hurriedly collected his thoughts. Then he also hurriedly activated the soul card again. Soon, an army of puppets appeared in front of Duanmu Huai, corresponding to the Steel Corps opposite.
"Attack!!!"
With the cloaked man roaring, the next moment, the battle between Steel and the Doll began.
