Code Geass FF chapter 328

But this time, the enemy fire sounded different from those earlier ones.

Suzaku quickly found what made this time shot different.

The whole slowed time in her perception truly gave her a great advantage as she saw two shells moving or at least two blurry shiny objects that came out from the giant barrel of that ugly machine.

These two blurs are moving so fast that's why it was blurred and even in this slowed-down time perception, it is still moving as if it were cars or motorbikes.

Suzaku felt cold and truly realized the threat to her life this time.

Then her body just moved on instinct to survive, she quickly moved to take out the other new thing that was equipped with the Lancelot LAV.

Photon pulse wave beam rifle is the thing, and it is the real weapon that Lloyd had finally managed to create all this while.

It is specially made for Lancelot to take advantage of its excessive power output, like that original weapon that was shown in the original series.

But instead of firing balls of volatile energy, as its name implies, it uses photon waves in pulses to produce laser beams.

Yeah, pulse and waves might seem similar to most but they aren't the same thing, okay?

Waves can be pulses but a pulse is not necessarily a wave.

Just search it up.

Photon waves are greatly compressed and then sent out in a strong pulse in one direction.

This makes it so that the laser beams that come out of this weapon are very thin but these thin lasers are extraordinarily penetrating and have a very long range of combat effectiveness.

Suzaku quickly and precisely aimed at one of the two shells that hasn't yet exploded into metal pebbles.

Well, if you scaled these metal pebbles to human size then they would be the same size as a regular basketball ball.

She fired the weapon and as expected of one of the strongest pilots in the code geass series, she successfully hit the target but it only hit one, even if the laser manage to destroy that shell, there is still another one.

And this laser rifle is a prototype because it doesn't even have any setting to change how much power to use.

It can only use a full-power concentrated shot every time and every shot needs two seconds of charging time or cooldown before being able to be fired again.

It is meant to be tested so Lloyd made it with the maximum parameters that it can be made.

This is how the energy and Lancelot are made too, they were made with the maximum performance achievable at that time because all of them are prototypes and Lloyd is the type of scientist who likes squeezing his prototype inventions as much as possible for all performance testing.

Always wanting to know the results and data when the observation target was undergoing extreme conditions.

And at this time, Suzaku only had one such rifle and now, it is going to have to be on cooldown for two seconds, but even then, she did not panic.

She also didn't give up on herself.

Or maybe...

She just doesn't have time to think about these kinds of things at all as her body moved on instincts again, she quickly let go of the rifle, which fell onto the ground in slow motion, and then quickly took out her two vibration swords just in time when the rifle touched the ground.

The shell had also fragmented into metal slags which pelted the passage quickly.

But Suzaku had already turned on her energy shield again together with the two swords that turned red when the vibration became too much and heated the metal blade.

(I-I-I got this feeling, yeah, you know

Where I'm losing all control

'Cause there's magic in my bones (in my bones)

I-I-I got this feeling in my soul

Go ahead and throw your stones

'Cause there's magic in my bones)

She tried her best to parry everything she can with her two swords while making sure that the energy shields are still properly covering her up.

*Bang! Ting! Ting! Ting!

In slow motion, Lancelot LAV looked like it was playing majorette with a baton.

The sword dances around as if it was just slashing randomly, and it was, at least, a little bit random.

Because Suzaku can't follow those super-fast slags of metal with her eyes so she targeted the large clusters of it that she could see clearly.

Every swing parries several slags at a time.

Suzaku successfully survived that but that rapid-fire shot manage to stop her in place to defend.

It was a one-time thing for that ugly machine though because it is now showing billowing smoke that is coming off from its insides.

Obviously, having this kind of thing as a contingency is already the limit of the scientific research on weapons by the Japanese Liberation front.

Britannia's colony management and its various laws are quite good at oppressing and limiting any dissidents in an established colony.

"Damn it! Why is there such a monster here?! I thought that the previous monstrous queen of Britannia is someone unique in the world!" Obviously someone who knows much about mechs, cause he was positioned as the one who monitors the condition of this ugly machine that they were using.

"What?" A teammate said in confusion as someone who didn't know what was being said.

"Alright, stop with the chitchat! Activate the emergency protocol!" The leader shouted quickly as he felt like this white monster will only stop to observe them for a second or two before it starts moving again after seeing the condition of their machine.

Then the one responsible for moving the machine to the forefront directly slammed his hands on a big red button before operating the machine to move backward.

Its cannon body is too long to turn around so it can only move backward.

A second after that big red button was slammed.

*Rumble

A rumbling sound was heard and then it was felt as the whole underground passage trembled.

Then...
