They found it strange, but the roaring sounds ringing in their ears from time to time constantly reminded them.
“This commotion must be made by the Dead End Butcher!
It’s so energetic, can we really stall it?” Anby said somewhat uneasily.
However, Billy jumped out, striking an exaggerated pose as he said, “Heh heh heh, rest assured, Anby, I’ve already mastered the formula for victory from the starlight knight series.
Never fight bad things according to the rules!
Start right off the bat with a sure-kill flying kick!
Resolve the battle in the opening ten seconds, leaving no opportunity for a dedicated BGM to play…” Before he finished speaking, he heard a huge rushing sound approaching.
A massive physique descended from the sky, and after crashing to the ground, it rolled a few times and heavily smashed into a giant ethereal crystal.
“That is!” Billy had been thoroughly startled just now; after all, if Anby hadn’t pulled him aside, that falling object would have smashed into him first.
If Phaethon were present, she would say this was a massive sense of déjà vu!
It turned out those roaring sounds were the noises of the Dead End Butcher being continuously knocked flying and landing back on the ground.
What kind of enemy could the Dead End Butcher possibly have encountered to be in such a sorry state in its own home turf?
And Billy’s mechanical eyes looked more clearly toward the sky, and he shouted excitedly, “That is!” “Meteor Knight!” Anby also saw it and took over to speak the knight’s name for Billy.
The silver mecha flying in the sky had flames spitting from its chest and back, and wings formed of flames lifted it up, resembling a deity.
After a tremor, the Dead End Butcher stood back up.
It saw the three people standing dumbfounded on the spot, but it no longer had an axe in its hand; it couldn’t chop down with a single axe.
Amidst emotions of unwillingness and anger, the Dead End Butcher crouched on the ground.
The concentration of ethereal energy around it deepened, and a pair of arms grew from behind the Dead End Butcher.
It let out a roar towards the sky, as if its body possessed endless strength and inexhaustible power.
At this moment, it was invincible!
With all four hands pressing against the ground, the Dead End Butcher leaped violently.
Its terrifying jumping power sent it soaring into the sky, lunging to slaughter that silver mecha.
Such power, unbearable to ordinary people, seemed to the silver mecha to be nothing more than a one-hit opponent.
It used a knight kick to send this Ethereal crashing back down to the ground.
However, Firefly saw the three figures scrambling for their lives on the ground, and SAM decided to make a quick resolution.
“Protocol confirmed, Full Burn state!
I shall set the seas ablaze!” As SAM’s mechanical voice echoed, he clenched his hands, and a pair of fluorescent, flying-fire longswords appeared in each of his hands.
Seeing this scene, the three of them only felt that the surrounding temperature had risen to a degree that ordinary people couldn’t endure.
“This…
what on earth is this?” “Oh my god, this is so cool!” Billy found a safe zone and cheered while looking at that mecha.
Nicole and Anby were also watching.
At this time, Nicole thought that perhaps nothing in New Eridu could block that fellow anymore; even Void Hunters couldn’t do it!
Indeed, SAM dived down, his dual swords leaving afterimages in the air.
The sword light instantly inflicted countless slashes upon the Dead End Butcher’s body, heat and sharp blades slicing through that ethereal physique.
The Dead End Butcher?
It didn’t even manage to steady its stance before being hacked to pieces like that, subsequently turning to ashes amidst fluorescent flames, its shattered core aimed at that silver-white figure.
He unceremoniously barged into its territory, beating it black and blue with overwhelming force.
Scarcely a day after managing to escape, it was found again, and then it unleashed its power, yet when resolved to fight, it was so utterly vulnerable.
Until its death, the Dead End Butcher did not know that its peerless power was nothing more than a venting toy in this fellow’s eyes.
The Dead End Butcher met its curtain call right here.
The three people standing in the safe area watching the whole process widened their eyes in disbelief that this was true; the notorious Ethereal that lorded over the Dead-End Hollow couldn’t even withstand a single blow.
And that Meteor Knight deactivated the flames on her body and began walking over upon seeing the three of them.
But the three of them appeared very restrained and extremely vigilant.
SAM stopped twenty paces away.
He had already seen the three people’s reactions and seemed to be considering something.
His current state was very good, so he simply had a burst of flames surround the mecha, and the mecha was also disengaged.
However, upon seeing the true form after the mecha was disengaged, the three of them were even more dumbfounded.
Nicole was especially incredulous, her voice trembling slightly, “You…
it’s you?!
How could it be you!” Anby wasn’t all that surprised, but facing the white-haired girl opposite her, she was also at a loss for words.
As for Billy, he directly crashed; all the words he wanted to say turned into jammed gears that ground to a halt.
“You guys, know me?” The person standing in front of the three Cunning Hares was none other than Firefly?!
(Regarding the plot issue, I don’t know if passing through it so simply can be accepted.) (I personally don’t like rewriting Zenless Zone Zero’s plot because the protagonist doesn’t actively participate in Phaethon’s operations, and fanfiction plots are mostly daily life.) (If everyone cannot accept this, I can write more detailedly.) (As for why the plot isn’t cut directly, considering that not everyone plays Zenless Zone Zero, and fanfiction plots have some connections to some extent, it can’t be cut!
No way!) ————————
It might not seem tempting right now but who knows what the future holds?
