Chapter 797

“Bei Tai, don’t hold back on the reserves. Support them with everything! Xia Xiaolei, Soo Soo, Qimu Xi is not suited for taking on the Magic Mech. Once you two arrive at the battlefield, immediately take her place. Qiao Qiao, take down whichever enemy you see fit and take care of yourself. Avoid magic and energy attacks. Roddy... Roddy, you little bitch! Slow down!”

Lun Tai rushed forward while quickly assigning instructions to every one of his team members through their guild channel.

At the same time, he also brought out a spare remote controller, using their Tidal Fighter to – from the sky – initiate a wave of bombardment against Thorned Flower Guild’s Tidal Fighter, which was blown up before it could lift off.

After that one wave of attacks, however, Lun Tai quickly had the Tidal Fighter leave the battlefield, hovering someplace safe from the battle.

There was no helping it. Although the Tidal Fighter possessed a formidable firepower, a guild with a deep foundation like Thorned Flower Guild would surely have many methods of taking it down.

And while their Meteor Rock Guild had long since grown beyond what it used to be, a Tidal Fighter was still an unacceptable loss.

Qimu Xi was the fastest one in their guild. Moreover, she had also purchased the Gaze Teleport skill, allowing her to instantly teleport to any location within sight. It was the best way to initiate a raid.

Back when Roddy suddenly charged forward like a madman, Lun Tai had been quick to understand why. Immediately, he ordered Qimu Xi to teleport beside Gaza to entangle him.

Bei Tai was the only one from their team who did not move forward. He remained on the same spot, his liquid metal arm raised up high. It had transformed into a rapid-fire gun, which swiftly unloaded bullets into the distance through a high parabolic angle.

Beside him was a pile of steel ingots that he had brought out from his storage gear beforehand.

When Chen Xiaolian left, he had informed Bei Tai that he had to change his path. His innate skill, Air Incarceration, was an excellent support skill. However, the backlash from using the skill – should he encounter an enemy that was too strong and could break free from the Air Incarceration skill – was equally great.

During the past few months, Bei Tai had changed his development path to the enhancement of his liquid metal arm.

Although his arm could not transform into data streams like the monstrous Tian Lie, its self-repairing ability was almost on the same level. Additionally, it could also transform according to Bei Tai’s thoughts at any moment.

After purchasing its expensive follow-up upgrades, the arm could even replicate any weapons it had touched before.

Naturally, the upgrade for replicating a high-grade energy weapon would require an astronomical number of points. Even with Qiao Qiao’s guidebook BUG to help them earn points, their guild still could not afford that upgrade.

Still, replicating bullet-based weapons alone was enough to give it a sufficiently formidable firepower.

As for the matter of ammo consumption, the solution was simple. He simply needed to provide enough materials for the liquid metal arm to assimilate.

His liquid metal left arm raised up high, Bei Tai fired an intense salvo of bullets at a diagonal angle. After that, his liquid metal left arm swiftly grew smaller. Bei Tai swiftly retracted his left hand to pick up a steel ingot.

After the liquid metal arm made contact with the steel ingot, it immediately flowed like liquid, swallowing the steel ingot. Next, the liquid metal arm grew even bigger than before.

Raising his hand again, Bei Tai quickly fired out another intense salvo of bullets.

Even though he was alone, the fire support from Bei Tai was the equivalent to that of a small team with several members. Countless heavy artillery bombarded the positions taken by the members of Thorned Flower Guild without respite, throwing them into a state of confusion.

Xia Xiaolei had entered his range of fire.

Numerous tendrils suddenly emerged from his whole body. Next, the tip of the tendrils began hardening. Fins grew out from the rear part and the tendrils blasted towards the Magic Mech that was up in the air.

When compared to conventional explosives, the explosive power of these organic missiles was a fair bit weaker. However, by relying on his brainwaves, Xia Xiaolei could control them, giving them considerable maneuverability. Every time the missiles were fired out, they would first spread out before each drawing an arc in the air as they flew towards the Magic Mech from different directions.

On Gaza’s end, his mech only had one arm left. Even though he was constantly sweeping his surroundings with beams of light, he was incapable of blowing up all the organic missiles. Every now and again, a missile would strike the mech’s body.

The unicorn raised its head and released a long hiss of pain. The holy light shield promptly shone brightly, its rays piercing through the black mist. Despite that, the black mist continued to entangle the unicorn, attempting non-stop to go deeper.

Soo Soo, who was running forward, did not even look back. She waved her right hand to summon a flaming phoenix that flew towards the Player who had summoned the unicorn.

The Player remained calm. He sneered and the same holy light shield lit up around his body. The brightness of this shield was even more dazzling compared to the one on the unicorn.

The flaming phoenix struck the top part of the shield. In the end, it only managed to – after exhausting its strength – burn away a small part of the shield. As for the Player, only the left arm part of his protective suit was damaged, albeit lightly.

By then, the Player had raised a war hammer, condensed using holy light. He swung to hurl it towards Soo Soo.

Before he could let go of the war hammer, however, he suddenly screamed. Two bloody blades had appeared on his chest.

Qimu Xi’s attack caused her to lose her stealth mode, but with a cold face filled with killing intent, she swung both blades to either side, cleanly severing the Player’s waist.

The twin blades were enhanced with an armour-breaking attribute. Although the level of enhancement was not enough to break through Gaza’s Magic Mech, it was not something that the holy light shield could withstand.

There was a distance of less than 50 metres between Roddy and Nicole, but the opposing Thunderstorm Tank fired an arc of light that struck the Sentinel mech’s side. As the Sentinel mech had been enhanced using Star Sand before, the attack was not fatal. That said, it did destroy the side thruster. This caused the mech to abruptly lose its balance and it staggered before falling down. Before the mech fell to the ground, however, Roddy raised one of the mech’s hand to prop the mech up before firing a missile at the ground.

The missile exploded the moment it hit the ground, but the explosion did not destroy the mech’s enhanced frame. It simply threw the mech forward.

It was then that the Magic Mech – still up in the sky – suddenly shot backwards before rushing towards Roddy. Several halos had formed on its left hand, wrapping around the left arm, from the shoulder all the way down to its fist.

“A rescue?!”

Gaza sneered and his left fist, propelled by the accelerating Magic Mech, punched towards the head of the Sentinel mech, which was in mid-air. Roddy activated the Sentinel mech’s thrusters, but only managed to barely avoid the punch striking the Sentinel mech’s head. The punch struck its right arm instead.

Even though it had been enhanced using Star Sand, the Sentinel mech was still incapable of withstanding this punch from the Magic Mech. And so, the entire right arm was smashed to pieces.

Just as Gaza was about to swing another punch, Lun Tai roared furiously, swinging a shield forward while putting himself between Roddy and the Magic Mech.

Despite being the slowest, Lun Tai had finally arrived at the battlefield as well.

“Realm of Immunity!”

The Guardian Shield in Lun Tai’s hand was an [A] class equipment. However, seeing how Roddy’s enhanced Sentinel mech could not even withstand a single punch from this enemy, Lun Tai knew that his shield was definitely incapable of withstanding this one attack as well. Thus, he quickly utilized his ultimate skill.

Gaza’s punch struck Lun Tai’s shield.

Both of Lun Tai’s feet remained firmly in place. Surprisingly, Gaza’s punch had failed to inflict any damage to him. Even his shield did not appear damaged in the slightest.

It was the built-in skill of the Guardian Shield; Realm of Immunity, a skill that would last for 30 seconds. Any skills below [S] class would be disregarded. It had a cooldown time of 48 hours.

It was a very strong defensive skill. However, its effective time was too short while its cooldown time was too long.

The area defended by the shield was not large. Thus, Lun Tai had to exert himself to swing his left arm without respite, moving constantly to stop every one of the Magic Mech’s blows.

At any rate, the Realm of Immunity only worked on the shield itself. Lun Tai had no desire to allow the fist to hit his body, not even once.

Qiao Qiao, in her black mist form, finally broke through the unicorn’s holy light shield and disintegrated it to powdery bits. After turning back to her human form, however, she could not stop herself from staggering and she nearly fell to the ground. She hastily shoved two Healing Beast Bloods into her mouth.

As the battle continued, Roddy finally arrived before Nicole. With its remaining left arm, the Sentinel mech scooped up Nicole. Then, without even looking back, it rushed off.
