Chapter 1517: Chapter 1176: Automatic Technology_2
"Don’t celebrate too soon, scum," the Silver Emperor’s parasite sneered.
The battle raged on. With the psychological edge on their side and knowing that the warriors from the Golden Emperor’s camp were all suffering from food poisoning and feeling extremely unwell, the Silver Emperor’s forces launched a ferocious attack. They were convinced it wouldn’t be long before their opponents could no longer hold out, so they gradually increased the pressure, hoping to end the fight swiftly. However, to their confusion, the movements of their opponents were not at all panicked. Despite any amount of pressure, they maintained a textbook-perfect fighting style, executing each move flawlessly.
How was this possible!
Some warriors talked among themselves and decided to deploy some advanced combat techniques. Suddenly, what had been a mere competition of skills turned into a battle with Fighting Aura flying everywhere. Yet, the warriors from the Golden Emperor didn’t strike back but instead focused on dodging. Their evasion was incredibly precise; with each move, they barely skirted the edges of their opponents’ Fighting Aura attacks, wasting no energy at all.
If you could attribute the early stages of the fight to skill, the current performance was beyond belief, especially considering that these warriors had been tormented by food poisoning all night. To still show such heroics was simply inconceivable.
"Automatic Magic..." The Silver Emperor muttered through clenched teeth.
Yes, Automatic Magic. It could only be Automatic Magic that allowed such precise combat execution. The new Energy Alloy had attracted much attention, making many forget that during the internal competition within their group, there was a technology that wasn’t inferior to the new Energy Alloy, and that was Automatic Magic.
Enabling armor to fight autonomously using Magic was something experts had hoped to achieve for many years. However, due to limitations in their technology and knowledge, it seemed far from easy. And now, without any announcement, someone had developed a series of Automatic Magic spells and put them to practical use!
Can you believe that?
"Hmm, if you hadn’t mentioned it, I’d have forgotten I had this technology! Hahaha!" The Golden Emperor laughed heartily. Could he forget? He would never forget; he was counting on it for a comeback!
With the help of Automatic Magic, the Golden Emperor’s warriors fought in a somewhat mechanical manner, lacking flexibility but quick in response. Automatic Magic provided a reaction speed several times faster than direct control, something no ordinary warrior could match.
Seeing their ranged Fighting Aura techniques dodged by their opponents, the Silver Emperor’s warriors grew incredibly frustrated. And it was clear to them now that their opponents were using Automatic Magic.
"Don’t panic! It’s just Automatic Magic. It’s no big deal. After all, they’re not real warriors!"
Yes, Automatic Magic had its flaws. It wasn’t as flexible as a warrior and could only decide how to fight in a limited way. Although at first, the Golden Emperor’s warriors were able to evade the Fighting Aura techniques with nimble dodging, soon, under the relentless assault of their opponents, such agile evasion became useless.
The Fighting Aura techniques rained down like a deluge.
But those wearing the new Energy Alloy armor didn’t dodge anymore; instead, they switched their armor to protective mode and stood firm against the Fighting Aura attacks.
"So what, you can’t dodge anymore?" the Silver Emperor asked with a smirk.
When the Fighting Aura hit the armor, instead of the expected magical roar, it simply collapsed, disintegrating into base Fighting Aura and dissipating into the air.
"Hahaha, who told you I had to dodge?" the Golden Emperor countered.
One of the properties of the new alloy was to cause various energies to collapse, including Light Swords and Fighting Aura techniques!
The ineffectiveness of the Fighting Aura shocked all the warriors present. After all, although they had heard rumors that the new Energy Alloy could lead to energy nullification, seeing it with their own eyes was another matter entirely.
"Damn it!" the Silver Emperor cursed inwardly. Obviously, all the rumors about the new Energy Alloy had turned out to be true.
The warriors on the battlefield didn’t know all of this; they were still fighting as hard as they could. But after their Fighting Aura techniques were completely neutralized time after time, they realized that the armor worn by these people was extraordinarily bizarre.
"Everyone! Prepare for close combat!"
The captain on the battlefield shouted.
Instantly, all the warriors returned to their positions for close combat, but this time they abandoned ordinary tactics and initiated coordinated attacks.
The Golden Emperor’s side, however, was not adept at coordinated combat and continued to fight individually. They responded to the attacks of their enemies in a rigid, mechanical manner. Facing more agile opponents, the Automatic Magic struggled to adapt quickly, and gradually some of the warriors began to be overwhelmed.
Yet, there was one most important problem that no one could ignore.
The Light Swords were ineffective against their new Energy Alloy armor!
Yes, the new Energy Alloy was specifically designed to counter Light Swords and other common energy attacks! And these optimizations were enough to render the hard-won advantages of those warriors meaningless.
