Chapter 710: Defensive Battle

Thanks to the talismans, we were actually less afraid of the dreaded ghosts as compared to other monsters. Their vaunted ability to pass through objects was nothing before our self-activating talismans.

Bitong quickly got into one of the newly-assembled exosuits while Lixiang remained in her work exosuit, seeing as the last exosuit wasnt done yet. Perhaps that might even have been a blessing for the girl. Without the constraints of a mechanical suit, she could deploy our talismans even faster.

In that case, only the skeletal monsters were left -time for me to enter the stage.

Take cover, everyone. I spread my wings wide open, and as they started flapping with a mighty gust, countless purple energy feathers shot out like a barrage of missiles at the monsters.

This was the Flying Feathers skill I had just learnt from the system. It was an area-of-effect skill that I still had no inkling as to what its damage would be like, given that this was my first time using it. However, this simple activation was enough to drain my entire body of SP, to the point where I almost couldnt retract my wings.

As I felt the hollow sensation overcome my body, I quickly took out an SP recovery potion from my inventory and gulped it.

Geez this is the one last time Im using that skill so recklessly

However, I was soon interrupted by the wonderful sound of the system notifying me that I had just earned 200 points for myself

Countless energy feathers peppered the lounge area, exploding upon contact with the first skeletal monster it hit. Even if these feathers werent particularly deadly, their sheer numbers led to an unending chain of explosions that swiftly snuffed out the Soul Flames of the undeadFinnd new chapters at novelhall.com

Well, at least the skill works but I really need to be careful the next time I use it.

At this point, I was convinced it would be much easier for me to just wade into the undead, Icy Inferno in hand. Like a whirlwind of death, I hacked away in every direction. Wherever Icy Inferno swung, a swathe of undead would obliterated, leaving nothing but a pile of inanimate bones.

Floater remained stoically silent, electing instead to focus on controlling her detachable bits.

Hey! Dont ignore me, you bad woman!

Qiaoqiao! Bitong hurriedly held the girl back. Were still in the middle of a fight, we can discuss this later.

But that bad lady

The mortal is a detestable one, for sure. But Bitong is right, nows not the time for internal fighting. As she said that, Lixiang scattered a dozen or so talismans which had a simple lightning drawn on them. Like a bunch of intelligent projectiles, they homed in on a skeletal monster despite there being tens of meters between her and the undead.

The talismans transformed into a bolt of lightning upon contact, zapping the skeleton and obliterating the Soul Flame within in one single powerful strike.

Woah! Those talismans are amazing! They can even seek out targets! Ever the capricious girl, Qiaoqiao had already forgotten about her argument after being dazzled by Lixiangs attack.

Those arent just simple talismans. Bitong was quick to answer. Lixiang managed to dig up some tiny surprises during her spare time. Look there, dont you see something flying back right now?

Looking in the direction of Bitongs fingers, Qiaoqiao spotted a bunch of bee-like objects flying out from the lounge area.

Insect drones? Qiaoqiao has seen them before!

Thats right, those are insect drones. This is a factory, after all. Having some insect drones lying around is to be expected. Bitong continued with her explanation. These mechanical bugs can see what the eyes cant. And with their impressive strength to size ratio, they make perfect little workhorses.
