Chapter 1113 Intense Clash Against Xenoids!
-----
The weapons worked well, aside from my Sniper-type Demonic Machines, the other fighters, who were wielding the Laser Beam Cannons, were able to deal much more damage than the weapon could usually.
Why? I had upgraded them using the [Abyssal Demonic Machine Sentinel Summon] Skill, it wasn't just capable of summoning machines, but the very power of its ability to modify and transform mechanical parts into Abyssal Demonic Machine parts was what I used.
By limiting the activation to only that power, I was able to directly upgrade and transform all weapons into even stronger versions of themselves, the same ones the Abyssal Demonic Machine Sentinels wielded!
Fueled with demonic energy, their long-ranged laser beam attacks were much stronger, explosive, and set the Xenoids ablaze.
Fifty Xenoids lost most of their Placentoid and their shells shattered, their screams of agony could be heard slightly as they squired in pain.
They opened eyes, trying to fire laser beams of their own, or attack with tentacles covered with blades composed of hardened shell growth. Experience more tales on empire
However, it was too late already.
"{Demonic Aura}!"
I unleashed Demonic Aura as I held in one of my hands a huge Demonic Battery I extracted from one of the machines. I discovered that machines who had the battery extracted wouldn't become useless, their materials could still be used to fuse with already existing ones.
I used these leftovers, however, as materials to upgrade all my fellow pilot weapons, without wasting a single piece of metal. After all, it's a precious resource in the middle of outer space.
FLUOSH!
By activating Demonic Aura, not only did I empower the Abyssal Demonic Machine Sentinels, but all the weapons and shields being held by my fellow pilots…
Were also empowered, and this included my recently upgraded spear.
"W-What's this red aura?!"
"My weapon feels kind of powered up with more energy!"
"This is Blake's Neutonium Core Ability, right?!"
"To think such an Ability exists…!"
"Now, follow my movements!"
I commanded them, and they obeyed, albeit rather clunkily, it couldn't be helped. I swung my spear, unleashing blue and red electricity from it.
My movements became precise and even more dexterous than before, my Demonic and Electromagnetic Aura surged from my body.
{Divine Spear God Arts}: [One Hundred Lightning Blows]!
The Machine Warrior responded to my mental commands instantly, as if it were my own body, a hundred electrifying blows were unleashed at once, hitting several of the Xenoids, piercing their cores as explosions of electricity made their bodies explode.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
At the same time, the twenty or so remaining Xenoids, were swiftly killed by the other pilots, who rushed forward, piercing their bodies with their powered-up spears, and making those aliens become nothing but meat paste.
"Well done! Fifty gone! Any casualties? Damage?" I asked, quickly noticing the Xenoids exploded into pieces and became floating debris, some even burning into ashes.
"My armor got slightly damaged… But I'm fine!"
"The shields you gave us are very effective, general!"
"I'm fine!"
"I'm alright, thank you for worrying."
Looks like everyone was fine, good.
"Alright, this time we won't let them come to us, we hunt them down instead! Follow me!"
Unlike before, where we mostly played defensively, this time I was going to go on full offense.
By changing the formations, we charged forward, clashing against more Xenoids as they were caught off-guard.
New types of Xenoids were mixed in between the normal, smaller ones though.
Bulkier, larger ones, with triple the mass as the others, and reinforced, silver-colored shells, as if imbued with strengthened alloys of steel.
"GRUOOHHH!"
Above all, they had gigantic pincers, which they revealed once their shells opened lightly, giant, and strong, they launched them at us, quickly catching a few of my sentinels and tearing their shields and armor apart.
"That's a new type!"
"I haven't seen something like that before, Blake!"
"Me neither… we have to report this to the association once we're done!"
"Alright, make sure to take a lot of pictures and videos!" I commanded. "Now, concentrate! Don't get closer to those! Tank Sentinels, try to bait for their attacks! Long-ranged attacks, shot from afar and attempt to destroy their reinforced shells!"
My commands were their orders, immediately, the tank sentinels fished for attacks, the Brutes, as we called them, continued fighting without hesitation even as they were surrounded. These Xenoids were much less fearful than the little ones.
They were only ten, but they were putting much more of a fight than the rest of the smaller ones, who we were killing rapidly.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
A barrage of beams from afar reached them, they quickly retracted back into their shells, trying to defend. Their metallic exterior was so tough the beams wouldn't do any damage…
If it wasn't because their "stats" were boosted through Demonic Aura already.
Crack, crack..!
CRACK!
"There it is!"
Cracks appeared, it was now or never!
I quickly summoned the Emerald Lightning this time, as I rushed towards them once I noticed their shells beginning to weaken after barrages of beams began accumulating damage on them.
Quickly, I unleashed techniques and then linked them with echoes, quickly unleashing a storm of emerald lightning in all shapes and forms.
{Divine Spear God Arts}: [One Hundred Lightning Blows]!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
One hundred blows imbued with electricity hit them directly, their cracks spreading further, but not breaking enough.
Some were about to respond against my attacks, giant claws aiming to cut my mechanical limbs apart.
Yet!
{One Hundred Lightning Blows Echo}: [Chain-Lightning Serpentine Spear]!
RUMBLE!
The lightning attacks I was unleashed seemed to take life of their own, turning into serpent-shaped spears made of lightning and continuously piercing their bodies, circling around them and accumulating damage.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"GRUOOGGHHH!"
They responded furiously, giant claws rushing towards me from every angle, my shields and armor managed to resist the first initial blows, buying enough time for the third act to close the curtain.
{Chain-Lightning Serpentine Spear Echo}: [Roaring Emerald Lightning Dragon]!
"ROOOAAAR!"
The roar of an emerald dragon echoed, made of lightning, it engulfed all the Xenoids into an explosion, the last fireworks of their lives.
BOOOMMM!!!
