Editing Amaryllis in the Ice Country:Chapter 10 (section)

===Part O===

The light’s amazingly powerful.

It strikes past us, hitting the ground behind, and the ice on top splatters all over. Despite this, the light is not weakened in the least, as it pierces through the land, cuts into the ground, and forms a trail of white steam into the end of the horizon.

We’re all dumbfounded by this sudden turn of events, momentarily speechless. Our visual installations are dulled by a beat, our eyes still blurry. This light is too strong, like the sun shining into our eyes, and we seem to have hallucinating.

“Wh-what was that…!?”

I look towards Viscaria.

“Anyway, let’s get away from here! —Incoming second wave!”

The next moment.

A flash shines at us from the direction of the generator like dazzling stars, and another light fires through. A blue light, probably a laser, strikes before us, and shaves a lump off the frozen land before vanishing beyond the horizon. The silver-white land’s carved apart with a black line, dividing our group in two.

“Everyone scatter!… Find some place to hide!”

Even without the reminder, everyone too scene the danger they’re in, and start to move. Everyone’s scattering without my command, hiding in the mounds or in the ground.

“What was that…!?”

I hide behind a mound, looking towards Viscaria. The children are timidly clinging onto me.

“An anti-machinery compressed Crystal laser.”

Viscaria quickly explains, and raises her arm.

“That’s the culprit.”

She points in the direction of the generator.

—What, there…!?

There’s a robot standing there. It has thick, trunk-like limbs, and the pitch black, ominous body seem to absorb all the darkness. This black shadow stands before the generator with the sun shining upon it, like a gatekeeper, a pitch-black demon in the world of white.

“That’s…!”

The repulsive memory awakens in my mind again. The people who panicked during end times, the lasers raining upon them, the numerous blood columns splattering—

“F-310.”

Viscaria mutters,

“The most diabolical military robot in the world.”
