Chapter 685: Chapter 338: Blaze Passage Siege (Part 2)
He kept his eyes on the deepest part of the Mechanical Creation Furnace, still remembering when he came here with Xiaomo before, that giant machine drew in flames from the furnace to enhance the fire during the Undead Imperial Messengers’ injury.
After the warriors jumped onto another giant’s back, Li Ang called out to the other knights: "You join the battle too!"
The remaining two riders rode their own griffins, and when the giant attacked, it was like a high wall engulfing and crushing, leaving no space for attack. After the vanguard weakened the defenses, the three from the front line exerted force to push forward, creating gaps in the high wall formed by the guards.
The two griffins flapped their wings to ascend, stirring up hot winds as they circled the Ocean Bubble, gathering strength before swooping down to destroy the bodies of other Undead Manipulators.
"Repeat the weakening until defeated like this?" Melegon tilted his head and asked Li Ang.
"This is just the first step; their bodies are protected by the power within these ruins, not so easy to destroy."
"How did you destroy it last time?"
"My unique Weakening Spell, but limited in short-term usage."
Last time, there were only two people. Li Ang simultaneously empowered Xiaomo with Spiritual Activation and Acceleration Technique, using Spiritual Piercing, the strongest weakening effect he had seen, to destroy one machine.
But the use of Spiritual Piercing has a short-term limit; even with the deepened Demon Curse, Li Ang felt he could use it on at most three enemies within a short period.
They need to weaken all enemies gradually and then break them down slowly.
"I heard about you before, but never took the description to heart. Now, I need to rethink my perception."
Melegon looked at the Star Flower Travel Corps, which intercepted a guard: ALulu, relying on Divine Power, defended against attacks repeatedly. Although not of Excellence Realm, somewhat forced, she was sweaty but still did not show fatigue.
Dorothy released the tough Demon-Born Flower Vines to bind the giant. However, the ground was built too solidly here, so she couldn’t use the vines to take root and fix them. She could only rely on the weight of the Flower Beast formed by the vines to struggle.
It was Zoe’s attack that allowed them to keep tangling with the guard. The young girl transformed into the Snake Dragon Armor shape, with the mystical Light of the Star Soul allowing her to remain in this beautiful yet cool form, still considered to be wearing the Curse Swordsman’s Armor, though the principles by which they were contained remained unknown.
Covered in Dragon and Snake Scales, the Power of Earth, transmitted by Anna, surged onto her body. The young girl pointed her sword at the ground, and the Light of the Star Soul generated thick layers of rock, which violently surged and changed.
This was clearly an Earth Attribute Ground Spell. Li Ang glanced at Zoe’s board, knowing it was called [Earth’s Dramatic Transformation].
The Earth Element’s surging attack could not damage the guard’s armor, but it could destabilize it. If not for these giant heavyweights, ordinary enemies would’ve been knocked into the air by this spell.
"Your team has potential."
Having finished praising, Melegon tightened the reins.
"Shall we try your Weakening Spell once? I’ll cooperate to take down one—sound good?"
This Order Knight Commander’s somewhat androgynous face showed battle intent; watching the team battle made him itch too, and he wanted to feel Li Ang’s enhancement magic.
Li Ang understood this feeling, similar to playing games, where players of DPS professions particularly crave team buffs before unleashing bursts of power.
"Go ahead."
Li Ang pointed to a guard opposite, casting Acceleration Technique on Melegon. The young commander shouted something, and Li Ang vaguely caught "You still have Enhancement Magic."
In the next moment, Melegon smirked and pulled the reins; the falcon under him cried out, wings folding to its sides.
Not spreading, but folding, because it was about to use magic power to launch an attack!
The Thunder Falcon’s front paws hit the ground, and thunder rose, igniting the feather tips, spreading across the whole wings, transforming them into clouds of thunder enveloping its body.
The giant beast raised its front, kicked back with its hind legs, instantly transitioning into a bolt of lightning soaring into the sky.
With Acceleration Technique added, this mass of thunder’s speed seemed to surpass the limits of human visual detection. Li Ang could feel that Melegon and the Thunder Falcon were adapting to the accelerated feeling.
But the process didn’t last long—at most three seconds—before brightly glowing lightning circled three times in the air, hitting the guards surrounding the team in a zigzag line.
The three groups of guards—oppressing the Demon Dragon and the Star Flower Travel Corps—were all shocked by the thunder assault, tilting backward. The final target was the guard pointed out by Li Ang.
As the lightning struck it, Li Ang also raised his left arm; the Spiritual Piercing Attack tore open the armor structure fortified by the Melting and Gathering Law. Thunderbolt Assault enveloped this guard, with lightning searing through effortlessly, crashing down in all directions and leaving chaotic scorch marks.
The first guard ceased action, disintegrating into metal fragments.
Some Order Knights cheered, Li Ang glanced at Xiaomo, who, like him, hadn’t relaxed yet.
These guards weren’t the only things here.
Just as the metal armor was disintegrating and falling to the ground, brilliant orange light erupted from the furnace in the distance.
"Special Attack! Retreat! Reorganize the defensive line!"
Amidst Li Ang’s shout, those battling the guards retreated, reforming the defensive line.
