Arknights: Iron-Blooded Savior

"This root stone spear is just me fighting Fick... Part of the legacy.

After the Doctor and Parker finished communicating, Rankopel continued to say to the Doctor:

"After Fika and I left the mine, Fick took the lead in a few words and almost killed Fika, and he was able to directly control the strange orange-red source stone vein to attack. "

At that time, I had no way back at all, I had to fight to the death, and finally broke out of the ground with Fika, and I was already in poor form, but Fick was also hit hard. "

As a result... Scold...... Perhaps by fate, the seriously injured Fick picked up an emergency active agent.

Amia jumped when she heard this, and immediately said to herself:

"Emergency active agent?" Amia

, who is the leader of Rhode Island, of course knows this term, which is used in many black mines in Rembito to suppress fatigue, relieve pain, and improve tolerance.

But its essence is chronic suicide.

"Yes... After he got the emergency active agent and injected himself, he even directly lifted out a whole vein of source stone ore that was more than ten kilometers long into the ground.

Although Rankopel was only a verbal description, both the Doctor and Amia could imagine what kind of horrific scene it was.

If compared by the length of Rhode Island, the length of this vein alone is worth dozens of Rhode Island ships connected end-to-end, and the length of some small mobile city-states will not be much larger than this.

And once the scale forms a huge equivalent, even the simplest movement is enough to cause earth-destroying damage - for example, just rubbing a little with a nearby hill, the entire hill collapses.

At this time, Amia really only felt that her whole person seemed to be listening to the fantasy of Sargon or Victoria's fairy tales, and the whole person's world view was completely broken.

However, the previous shot of the source stone spear that was thrown at the high-speed ship informed Amia of the bloody reality, and all this was a real and already happening fact.

"The Doctor... I...... I..."

Amia was a little weak, her hand raised and fell—in front of this level of power, even the Demon King seemed so small... Even insignificant.

"Don't be too yourself, Amia, you've done a great job, didn't you just say that there are some things... We can only do our best... Do all in one's power. Rankopel

comforted Amia in a gentle tone.

"Yes, Amia. "

Thanks to your power, we were able to save countless people in Rembitto, weren't we?" the

Doctor also gently hugged Amia and whispered encouragement in her ear.

"Well, Doctor!"

Amia took a deep breath, then her tone became strong and courageous:

"Maybe I don't have the power of Mr. Rankopel or the elite operators of Rhode Island... But I will definitely do my best to accomplish what I can!"

"Save as many creatures as possible in this land... This is the credo of Rhode Island since its founding.

"In the future, I, the Doctor, and Dr. Kelsey... And the operators of Rhode Island and all the like-minded people with us, no matter how much terrible suffering the road ahead..."

Practice to the end. Rankopel

smiled and applauded Amia softly, his eyes full of appreciation and admiration.

How old is Amia at this time... However, a Carters girl can bear so much suffering and despair, and can firmly bear so many expectations and responsibilities.

Terrific.

"After this, I was almost killed by Fick. Rankopel

waited for the atmosphere to ease before continuing:

"But in the last battle of Chernoberg, the undead black snake was not completely wiped out by me and Lige... In fact, the gods of Usas would not have died out so easily.

"After all, Usas is still there, and the black snake is the embodiment of Usas's will."

"So the black snake ended up loading me."

Amia didn't say anything this time, just stared at Rankopel with very firm eyes.

"It's not clear to me what purpose this old snake has... But it is undeniable that at the moment when I was on the verge of desperation, he poured all the power of Usas into me.

"Just like the talulah I faced in the final battle at Chernoborg. Rankopel

clenched his fists, the force full of Usasian malice still fresh in his muscles:

"So I don't have a choice at that time, I can only be... Immortal black snake.

"Even so... The fight between me and Fick was still hard, we were both determined to each other, and Fick himself even received several more injections of emergency activation. "

The veins under him were enough to fly together with the hills with just a flick of their tails, and even scattered the orange-red source stones into a huge amount of source stone dust into the air, and finally condensed into a knight who covered the sky.

"The naval guns you gave me back up at the time, the Source Knight intercepted them all with just one wave of his gun, and then Fick fired a terrifying shot at you.

"This is the root stone spear that Parker and they found just now, I was really afraid that your life was in danger, but fortunately you survived in the end."

Rankopel's

tone was very flat, as if he couldn't hear how terrifying this level of battle was.

"I won't go into much detail about the process, and after some fighting, I barely hit Fick hard.

"In fact, at this point, whether it is me or Fick, the load on the body has been exceeded, not only to see whose attack is more effective, but also to see whose body cannot support it first."

"But at this moment, the situation suddenly changed terribly.

Although he didn't really want to recall that golden source stone, it was something he would face in the future anyway, so Rankopel still said:

"Fick's body suddenly exploded countless golden source stone spikes, and then the whole person was quickly broken—I could barely catch Fick's expression at that time, it was an extreme fear and a shock that I didn't expect at all."

"Then the entire orange-red source stone vein at Fick's feet also transformed into a pulsating pure gold in an instant... It was a pure golden color with surging vitality..."

"Those golden source stone veins suddenly turned into pieces and scattered... Without even glancing at the Lornes mansion next to it, he moved directly in the direction of Doctor You.

"I could feel that their goal was you, and this extremely clear, extremely important direction was even transmitted directly to my brain."

Amia gently put her hand against her chin, also thinking:

"There is a pulsating pure golden source stone... There has never been a record of the existence of such a source stone...,"

Rankopel recalled, continuing to say to the Doctor and Amia,

"This is most likely ... The so-called source stone's... Essence.

"I tried my best to stop them... But Amia, can you imagine, there is such an enemy, all source stone skills are invalid against it, it is invalid in the true sense. "

It's suppressed at its root, and then crushed to ashes."

Amia didn't answer, just looked at Rankopel, and his gaze greeted him to continue.

"The Source Stone Technique... It is a spell created by us with the source stone as the core, and the infected person even directly uses the infected organ to affect reality.

"But the essence of this source stone... He is the one who influences reality itself, and no source stone technique can match it—just get close, and you will..." Rankopel

made a small twisting motion.

"Disintegration. Both

the Doctor and Amia understood how terrifying the word Rankopel was talking about, and the Source Stone Technique was the most widely mastered power by ordinary people in this land.

And this power in front of its origin ... Vulnerable.

"So I can only use the Source Stone Technique to my own body... Keep your distance from this golden source stone vein the whole time... Bombard with the purest brute force.

"Thanks to the power of overload steamed blood and the reliance of the gods of Usas... And the location of the volcano that Amia told me about, I ended up throwing this vein into the crater.

"And after that, I was on the verge of death until Amia's Demon King power saved my life."

"After that, I converged with you as fast as I could, and that's the beginning and end of the battle... Scold...... One thing to say, I never thought there would be such a scene before.

"But the good thing is... Survived. Rankopel

gently moved the joints of his arms after speaking, and his tone was a little complicated.

"Hard work on you, Rankopel. The

Doctor had not spoken since the beginning of the story, but had thought alone, and now it was his turn to ask questions:

"Although I have many questions I want to ask, but after thinking about it, it is the word you said at the beginning that makes me very concerned. "

Those source stones that grow on people with ore disease... Is it a so-called "parasite"? This

first question actually hit the nail on the head.

"That's exactly what I'm telling you, Doctor. Rankopel

said to the Doctor in a very serious tone:

"Ore disease is not a routine disease at all, those patients are ... Parasitic.

Amia said a little confused for a while:

"Parasitized? You mean...?" She

seemed to think of some extremely terrifying possibility.

"That's right, in that battle, I clearly felt that I was facing a group of ... Extremely obscure living creatures, I feel like my soul is about to be stripped just by facing them.

Rankopel recalled the scene and said to the Doctor and Amia:

"That brilliant gold... It is not seen on any kind of pure source stone on the market, even pure source stone purified to 95%.

It was a living, pulsating gold, but it gave an extremely creepy feeling, as if there were countless intricate distorted consciousnesses wailing and whispering inside.

"Maybe that purest gold is what the source stone really is—a weird cluster of creatures, very small and dense, and I feel like they're not just creatures..."

The container, or something, is filled with all kinds of consciousness and emotions, but it is already rotten and smelly, distorted and deformed. Rankopel

said to the Doctor:

"The term "Ore disease infected person is not very accurate. "

It should be called ... Ore disease parasites, they are not simple patients, but... Host. "
