Pov Nicole:
Leaving the research room, I first went to the command room that was nearby, I needed to get the command core that I left there a few days ago to use the information from that place to complicate maneuver information, magic weaponry, operating systems, assistance systems, power controls, etc.
The command core is something I personally created, it's still a little flawed, but it will serve the purpose of this battle's field test.
I look at the greenish crystal in my hands, I used my Aura to create a connection with the command core, I check its updates using the information from the command center of this base, then I check the spells inside here, I check the integrity of the flow of energy and look for any irregularities that can be compensated for or corrected quickly.
"I don't like this, looks like I'm going to need Lyra to create a more suitable magic crystal, this one might be powerful but it lacks refinement and customization specific to its role." (I)
Sigh
"(Being so long away from my laboratory was really hard, materials are always in short supply, Blacksmiths don't come close to Anton's capabilities...)" (I)
"At least it won't last much longer." (I)
After making a few quick adjustments I arrive at the hangar where the rover is, I didn't want to name this thing before it was ready.
For the next few minutes I had the service crew help me get this thing in order, then I walked into the cockpit, placing the command core in the circular opening in the dash.
The control room was made to be smaller, as there will only be me using this thing the extra space was not needed and I needed more controls close to me, I sit in my chair and use my Holy Power along with my Aura to activate the flow power.
"Activating support and flight spells, activating defenses and propulsion." (I)
"< Interface N Enabling Phase 4: Integration >" (1)
The core within my body shifts the flow of my energy into a circulatory pattern to my senses and mind at the same time as my physical reinforcement abilities are activated partially following certain pre-established patterns, my Aura begins to permeate the entire structure of this ship following the same paths as the energy inside my body.
Soon all 26 layered magic circles form around me spinning to create a secluded environment for me.
Soon holographic interfaces begin to appear around me, integrating with the functioning of the ship and with my senses, serving as an intermediary between me and the vehicle.
After everything is ready I start my hands on the crystals one on each side of my chair and I lean my chair back before closing my eyes, holographic hands and eyes appear around me to use this entire control structure in a way that an ordinary person would never be able to to do.
"Leaving." (I)
As soon as I feel a mental connection with the vehicle having some of my senses may also extend through its information-gathering capabilities.
With that I have a clear view of my surroundings in a certain surrounding area at the same time that the front view gains a range that should be greater than my natural view, I just hope it works as it theoretically should.
When the vehicle starts to float the doors at the top open revealing a green ocean water surrounding this entire base, I control the vehicle to pass by going straight up.
The speed so far seems fine until I reach the surface of the ocean, from the orbital surveillance system information they are already descending to the world.
"< Interface N Activating: Phase 2 Attack Mode >" (I)
The vehicle whose back looks like a waning moon whose tips are facing forward, while the rest of the body looks like a blade that widens to the oval door.
A simple and clean looking vehicle initially focused on speed, but with my modifications, it went far beyond its initial purpose.
The space around it fluctuates for 1 second when the space unfolds to reveal mid-range weapons on the top and bottom of the wings while in the center of the ship's body, a cannon of pure area-destructive power is attached pointing forward, on top of the vehicle is a ranged weapon in the form of a crystal blade.
All these weapons appear already attached to the body of the vehicle as if they were always there, I feel the energy stored in the magic crystals running through the vehicle until it reaches the various weapons.
"The 4 rapid fire weapons seem ready to use after 10 seconds, the ranged weapon seems to have a longer time coming in at 3 minutes, the area destruction weapon seems to be between the previous two coming in at a cooldown one just over 1 minute." (I)
"..." (I)
I start to move the kiss to travel higher in the sky without leaving the world's gravitational orbit, this is to test the capabilities of the vehicle suffering the effects of the planet's gravity before going to fight in orbit to do the same tests out of reach of gravity.
Just by going higher, I see the enemies, their movement patterns seem to follow a strategic structure that puts defense first, as the biggest monsters are up front with their bodies like living shields.
I start attacking with the ranged weapon, soon 4 magic circles appear around the giant crystal blade held above the ship by a Golem arm, while a ray with the elements of light, thunder, fire, and space condensed together in a ray of thin Energy that upon striking through hundreds of monsters, I move the Golem arm holding the crystal sword to the side and the beam easily cuts through enemies like a great blade of light.
"The power consumption is too high, the Energy ray cannot sustain itself for a long time, and the idle time is as long as it takes to charge the energy again." (I)
"Let's go to the next one." (I)
This time I use the weapon below where Curse and fire energies mix into a 6-layered magic circle, then this energy forms a glowing sphere in 14 seconds before firing at a significantly slower speed than the previous weapon.
The result was a Purple Flame Dragon that crashed into the enemies coming towards me, exploding into a sea of purple flames that looked like life, actively attacking the enemies trapped within the sea of flames.
"Immediate destructive power as predicted, but it can't be used in succession, some of its parts don't seem to be durable enough to withstand this magical intensity." (I)
The energy expenditure seems as high as the previous weapon, now there are only a few more left.
"Let's test these now." (I)
The weapons attached to the wings have light magic while the bottom ones have thunder magic, each of them starts shooting at different targets following my manual aim, always hitting the head of the monsters that I can kill more easily with 1 attack.
This time these weapons were using magic called elemental magic spears to make multiple attacks in succession, their energy expenditure per shot is considerably lower than the previous two weapons, but the large number of shots still compensates for this difference while it seems to overwhelm some parts of the weapons by the continuous overload with these shots.
"This mana inefficiency is ridiculous, I seem to have lost 1/4 of my energy just testing weapons." (I)
"< Interface N Activating: Attack Mode Phase 1 >" (I)
The 6 weapons are surrounded by space fluctuations before folding once more hiding the weapons, then the wings of the final vehicle 3 times bigger and sharper, I also focus my attention before I start to fly the vehicle following an attack pattern that I had already thought.
The vehicle has good maneuverability and speed, but I can't control the change in speed so well, it forces me to make straight curves always cutting the monsters with my wings like scythes.
I thought the enemies were trying to adapt to my way of attacking, but instead what happened was disorder among the monsters, some even trying to devour their companions.
In this ridiculous state in their ability to fight as a single army, it seems worse than when they arrived, it seems that my father had started his attacks on the large vehicles where the leaders should be safely waiting.
Wasting no time, I spend a lot of time fighting the monsters with the people from the base starting their attack at that moment after I gave them a signal to do so.
As time went by the enemy ranks became more Chaos and their numbers dropped more and more easily, few seem to be getting hurt, and at this point, it seems like everything is sort of under control before I go off-world in the bigger battle that must be happening out there.
Shortly thereafter, with the help of my father and several Dragons as well as their Familiars, the annihilation of these insects was only a matter of time.
In the end, they all died, but I never really cared about it, my biggest concern was the features that need to change on my vehicle which was bigger than I initially thought.
With this annihilation of enemies, I let Astrid's people take care of things by accompanying my father back to base with me.
