Chapter 133 Garuda? Garuda!
Luke and his companions recognized an "old acquaintance" almost at first sight.
It was Captain Falcon who had fled in disgrace during the boss battle of the Sky Fortress, but he still maintained the form of a Cyberbird and did not fly into the air, staring at Luke and others who had climbed onto the rooftop.
Next to him, the old man who had his back to everyone at first, but turned around after hearing the sound, was an old man who did not make anyone who saw him for the first time feel any special threat.
He was short and strong, bald, with a snow-white beard, and a green suit, making him look like Santa Claus who had not been infected by Coca-Cola marketing and still maintained a green coat.
But the expression of this "Santa Claus" was not kind at all.
Although his facial features did not look special, they combined them to have a strong and extremely evil energy. The expression on his face was a very pure contempt, and at the same time gave people a sense of looking down from a high position.
He was Garuda, the real master of the evil empire, and also the core boss of the entire monster nest.
But strangely, Luke could only see the simple words "Garuda" on the top of its head, and there was no corresponding level ability and other plug-in information, just like looking at an ordinary NPC.
...No, that's not right, not an NPC, but the feeling of meeting the "Dark Wanderer" for the first time in "Kurast Harbor"!
Although the target has been locked, Luke can't really throw the L-shaped bone tooth in his hand.
There is a sense of confusion that the target will be lost the moment you want to shoot.
Luke, who found himself abnormal, quickly glanced at the viper. The muzzle of the gun flashed and then dimmed, and then the whole person went directly into the optical camouflage state, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
But before Luke could observe the situation of the Red Shadow Warrior brother and sister, Garuda over there suddenly spoke.
"Is it them? The powerful invaders who made you abandon the entire sky fortress and hide beside me like a stray dog?"
A very majestic old voice came from Garuda's mouth, and this sentence was obviously said to Captain Falcon beside him.
After being scolded by the old man, Captain Falcon, who was still glaring at the Red Shadow Warrior, suddenly became terrified. He twisted his body and knelt on one knee in front of the old man skillfully, and lowered his mechanical bird head deeply.
"Yes."
Captain Falcon's attitude was very sincere, and it can be seen that he is loyal to Garuda. At the same time, he himself does not seem to be a person who will actively find excuses for his failure.
But Garuda, as the immediate superior, chose to bring it up at this juncture. While Captain Falcon was terrified, he also had a vague premonition of something ominous.
Just as the captain had this thought, he felt his shoulder being pressed down.
Then Garuda's mouth covered by white beard came close to Captain Falcon's ear, and he said calmly that made the captain shudder.
"... I don't need trash under my command."
The next second, Captain Falcon felt his neck being tightly grasped by a big hand!
In the vision of Luke and others, the originally short old man Garuda suddenly grew up as if he had shed his skin.
Under the exploded green suit was a full set of green Japanese-style samurai armor, and a large piece of long white hair grew on his originally empty head, like the same style as Jiraiya, and also like the white hair integrated with the helmet in Takeda Shingen's concept photo.
But it is worth noting that his face has also lost its human appearance and turned into a bird-like appearance that is very similar to Captain Falcon in the second stage at this time.
With his left hand holding a wakizashi Garuda, his right hand tightly grasped the already slightly slender mechanical neck of Captain Falcon, letting his frantically struggling steel wings and claws hit him.
"But I am kind-hearted, so I will let you witness with your own eyes how I completely defeated these invaders... but you need to change your form of existence."
With a crisp snap, Captain Falcon's head tilted to one side, his eyes wide open, interpreting with his life what it means to die with eyes wide open.
But then, his mechanical remains began to shrivel and lose their luster, as if the vitality of his metal body was absorbed by the big palm holding his neck.
But at this moment, Viper took action.
A plasma cannon that had been pre-charged in advance accurately attacked Garuda.
However, facing such a high-energy attack, Garuda only raised his left hand and moved it horizontally. The energy bomb that should have exploded immediately was split into two as if it had a solid body, passing by Garuda's side, and two large balls of fire burst out on the ground not far away.
It was almost the same as the posture when the wind broke the rocket flying fist before, but in Luke's opinion, Garuda's method was obviously more like the black hot girl's wakizashi blocking.
At the same time as the plasma cannon burst out with fire, Garuda, who casually threw away the captain's wreckage that had completely lost its luster, had his samurai armor broken by a pair of large bird wings shining with golden light.
Garuda himself seemed to have successfully vented something and exhaled a long breath.
...But for some reason, I always felt that the flapping of the pair of golden wings was a little stiff.
It was also at this time that the plug-in information on Garuda's head finally arrived.
[Garuda/Garuda (lv18) (Super Dark Gold Monster) (HP 100%*2) (Rune Level 5) (Resistance: Electricity 85%, Fire 25%, Ice 25%, Poison 75%)]
[Monster Features: Wind Power, Sword Holding Technique, Golden Feather Arrow]
The name Garuda is a typical transliteration, but if it is replaced with Garuda, then those who are familiar with Digimon should immediately think of the perfect bird-man Digimon that evolved with the Heart Badge.
And if Garuda is translated again, it can be directly transformed into "Garuda", which is the mount of Vishnu, one of the three main gods in Indian mythology.
Its image is half human and half bird, with an eagle head and a human body.
Obviously, whether it is from the name setting or the bird-man posture he shows at this time, it fits the name "Garuda/Garuda".
But what's interesting is that the second-stage form of Captain Falcon is actually closer to the mythological image of Garuda than the transformed Garuda.
...Then Garuda sucked Captain Falcon.
You should know that the original version of Garuda actually has no wings. It is just a human body with an eagle head wearing samurai armor. But the wings that grew behind him at this time are obviously the manifestation of Garuda's self-completion by absorbing Captain Falcon.
This completion makes him more in line with the appearance of the Indian mythical bird "Garuda".
Luke, who knows the background of the character setting very well, almost instantly sorted out the possible process of Garuda's transformation into this new look... But this does not mean that Luke has a way to attack this core monster boss who has gained air superiority and is as high as level 18!
But surprisingly, Garuda, who easily dealt with the Viper's sneak attack, did not immediately launch a counterattack. Instead, he closed his eyes for a while in a state of intoxication before reopening them and hooking his fingers at Luke and the others who had already dispersed.
"You all, come together."
