I already anticipated this all, and I got the perfect plan to counter such a hectic situation.
[We are ready!] After the passage of just ten minutes, and while doing the same even when the worms had already gotten out of their holes, she sent me this message.
"Tsk, she isn't as calm and collected as Lily," I shook my head once I read her message.
[Watch the magic then] I sent just this simple response before activating my shields' offensive ability.
This was what I planned to do from the start. And that was part of the reasons why I used my shields in the plan to bury these holes.
After all, my shields would stack all the damage taken, either from inside and outside. And by using my deadly fire, and on such a large scale of shields, it made things quite deadly for my enemies.
Even if they were worms, they would never have enough defence to block what was coming.
The moment I activated the offensive ability of my shields, the entire world shone brightly like never before. A terrifying shockwave erupted from the shields nearby, releasing such tons of stored up energy from the fire stored inside.
The flash of light this time was different. And even if I couldn't see everything happening as I was so close from the centre of such a scary blast, I could tell there was a difference in the quality between blasts coming from nearby and those coming from far.
But in mere blinks, the entire world became blindly bright, making me unable to do anything for long hours!
I didn't actually need to do anything. After all, the enemy got scared of my shields and bones and decided to take out all the worms from the ground.
That was why I kept doing the same thing even when I knew about the appearance of worms. The enemy might try to act cunning, releasing a few worms to scare me away.
So by persisting in doing what scared them was enough to give them another fright. If they thought to act smart, then it wasn't time for that after seeing me continuing my actions.
And so it made quite logical for them to release most if not all of their worms off the holes. And even if few remained under the ground, it wasn't going to do me any harm.
After the end of such blinding light and scary attack, I'd resume what I was doing before. I couldn't tell if what I was doing was enough to seal the holes and kill the worms inside or not.
But just in case, I should do my part and keep my plan going.
This time, the light kept flaring up for five days! This was too long, and quite scary. The world around was first filled with loud screams, fierce roarings, as the enemy tried to use everything in their power to stop and defend against the incoming attack.
As for my scattered elite warriors here, I already called them back with a single whim of mine before activating such a terrifying attack.
"Damn! These dudes…" After five days, the light was gone and the world returned to its normal state again. I looked around, and instead of just seeing piles of dead bodies and ruined ground, I saw tons of giants standing in their place, surrounding colossal beings inside.
These were the Exomachines. And right now I realised what role these giants were selected for.
They weren't just here to take the role of offence and be the sweepers, killing who remained of my forces and luckily escaped the worms.
They were here mainly to defend the worms! And just from seeing the worms lying on the ground like colossal snakes, while their bodies were covered up by the giant bodies of these Exomachines, made me realise the enemy didn't miss such an attack from their plans.
They seemed to realise how deadly the offensive ability of my shields was. And so they selected these Exomachines as they were able to stop and shield against such a terrifying attack.
Even I wouldn't say for sure I got the ability to shield against such an attack of mine! I had to use my pillar's shields, releasing tons of them during the past days!
If not for that, even I wouldn't have survived such an attack.
And yet, these Exomachines managed to sustain such pressure and unstoppable force! That was a first! And that opened my eyes wide over the true might of the fiends leading this quest.
They weren't just pushovers as I took them for. They were mighty and scary figures, enough to make me question what they would take next out of their hat.
However… no matter what they devised and planned before, it didn't work out quite well this time.
I forced the worms to come out earlier than they expected. And as for the Exomachines, they already lost lots of their forces against mine. Not to mention a much larger part of them was already entangled with my forces.
Even if my deadly rebound attack from my shields failed to crush these Exomachines, they wouldn't have the chance to step in and save lots of worms in time.
So the scene that was appearing all over the place wasn't that terrifying actually. And that didn't mean the enemy escaped such an attack without getting harmed.
"Oh, and these Exomachines are paralysed… It's just like how my glaive did against them…"
I noticed that despite the end of such a scary attack, these Exomachines didn't move away from the bodies of these worms. Instead, what I thought before as the worms twisting in pain from such an offence was wrong.
They weren't slithering on the ground out of pain, but trying to push the Exomachines away.
Don't tell me these Exomachines were able to harm these worms! Damn! If that was true then…
I knew taking control over the scattered Exomachines wasn't going to work. These were already considered malfunctioned, and wouldn't help me at all.
