Chapter 72: Chapter 72: Koleda: As Long as We Can Get Back Safely, Even If It's...
"Koleda, how are you? Are you okay?"
Wise, in the ruins, immediately asked about Koleda's condition after getting up. Fortunately, the latter didn't seem to be seriously injured. She waved her hand and got up.
"Ouch, that hurts. No, I have to go back and help big sis and the others quickly." As she spoke, Koleda also picked up the weapon at her side, preparing to continue fighting the monster.
"Wait a minute, Koleda! Look at that!"
"Hm? That's... the Prototype? Right, we checked before. The Prototype's logic core can still operate, and there are no signs of Aether corrosion on the body. It should still be able to move!"
Hearing Wise's prompt, Koleda also noticed the Prototype at the side, and then immediately took Wise into the cockpit. But after all, it was an old machine that hadn't moved for many years, so to get it to move again, Koleda and Wise also spent a lot of effort.
At the same time, Grace and her team outside the ruins were also struggling to cope with the monster's attacks. Just as they were about to be unable to hold on, Koleda and Wise, driving the Prototype together, jumped out of the ruins, brandishing its mechanical arms, and directly knocked the monster back a certain distance.
"Big sis, you've worked hard! Leave the rest to us!"
Afterward, Koleda also shouted loudly, manipulating the Prototype to charge head-on towards the monster. However, the latter had fused three intelligent machines, after all. Even if its flexibility was not as good as the Prototype driven by Koleda, its attack methods were not something the latter could compare to.
Seeing that they were about to fall into a disadvantage, Wise also immediately thought of the charm he had used on the other Belobog Heavy Industries intelligent machine before. Although he didn't know if his charm would work on an irrational Ethereal, since the other party had integrated intelligent machines, it should be possible, right?
Thinking of this, Wise also immediately had the system release charm at the monster in front of him.
'System, just target the monster in front of us. Absolutely do not let Koleda have any accidents right now, otherwise it will really be over.' Wise really didn't dare to imagine what would happen if Koleda were affected by his charm at this time and started kissing and hugging him.
['Understood. Your command has been received, Master. Releasing charm at the monster in front of us, while not affecting the [current] Koleda.']
The system repeated the command. Hearing this, Wise also felt a little relieved. And at the same time, on the other side, the monster affected by Wise's charm clearly paused for a moment. Seizing this opportunity, the Prototype also pushed it back a good distance. Noticing a protruding spot on the monument behind it, Grace also thought of a way.
"Koleda, push that monster over there! Use the monument to defeat it!"
"Understood!"
As Koleda said this, she also pushed the control stick with all her might. At the same time, Wise on this side also pressed his advantage, directly spending 6000 Emotion Value to stack his charm value to a full 200, with 10,000 Emotion Value remaining. At the same time, he also jumped to the corner of the cockpit's windshield, trying to let the monster notice his whole body without affecting Koleda's vision.
And the effect was very obvious. The struggling monster's resistance became weaker, and even Koleda at the side couldn't help but glance at him several times out of the corner of her eye.
'Why did Wise suddenly jump there? Although it's strange, I莫名 have the urge to pick him up. No, now is not the time to do this kind of thing. I have to focus on dealing with the monster in front of me. Let's talk about that kind of thing after this is over. As long as we can get back safely, even if it's hugging him for a real kiss, it's fine.'
As Koleda spoke, she also tried her best to concentrate. And what she didn't know was that her inner thoughts had already been seen by Wise at her side. Although he really wanted to complain about the actions she was thinking of in her heart, compared to that, he should first question the system.
'No way, right? System, didn't I already say not to affect Koleda? How can it still be like this?'
Faced with Wise's blame, the system also expressed its grievance.
['My dear Master, I can't do anything about this either. After all, when I targeted your charm at the monster in front of us, you also increased your own charm value, so it's normal for some of it to be difficult to control.']
Alright, the system's explanation was also more or less reasonable. Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened on Koleda's side, but he still had to pay attention to this kind of thing next time.
Under Wise's attraction, the opposing monster's resistance also became weaker and weaker. It was about to be nailed to the monument when the Prototype suddenly had a problem at the critical moment.
"What's going on? Why suddenly..."
Seeing the display on the control console turn red, Koleda also realized that the Prototype had malfunctioned. It seemed that because it had been in the Hollow for many years, plus the close contact with the monster just now, it had been corroded by Aether.
Seeing that the attack's momentum had slowed, the opposing monster also began to move again. However, it did not attack the Prototype, but instead drove the mechanical claws behind it to try and grab Wise.
"Oh no!"
Seeing this, Wise also knew things were bad. He glanced at Koleda behind him, who was still trying hard to control the Prototype, and then resolutely jumped out of the cockpit. The opposing monster, seeing this, also quickly grabbed at him. But how could this level of attack possibly catch the attribute-point-boosted Wise?
Although he easily avoided it, the monster did not give up and instead continued to pester him. The Bangboo's short limbs became a burden at this moment. Even though his attribute points were already very high, he wouldn't be able to last long if this continued.
['Ding! Master, you seem to be in trouble. Do you need help? As long as you give the order, I will immediately draw an item for you from the most expensive in the Emotion Value store.']
'No, thank you for your suggestion, but I don't think that's necessary yet.'
Are you kidding? Isn't the most expensive thing in the Emotion Value store that thing? Wise hadn't reached the point of last resort yet. At worst, he could just increase his charm value again later. Although, every point above 200 charm required 500 Emotion Value.
But paying attention to Koleda in the cockpit, Wise felt that he probably wouldn't need it now.
"Damn it! Don't you look down on our Belobog Heavy Industries' mechanical creations!"
Koleda shouted as she used a flashback power-up. She shouted the Prototype's name—Groy. In her memory were her dad, her big sis, everyone at Belobog Heavy Industries, and Wise. With the protagonist using a flashback power-up, the villainous monster's defeat was naturally sealed. And so, it died miserably at the foot of the monument.
"Phew, finally got it done."
