Chapter 518: Chapter 454 Anti-Magic Power_2

As long as they defended Xisheng Shrine and repelled Nestor Corporation’s attack on the city, New Xisheng would undoubtedly turn defeat into victory within a few days, easily reclaiming triumph and proclaiming to the world the final victor of the war.

took 102 and Lu Jing leaping to the topmost floor of Xisheng Shrine, to Honma Noriko’s tea room. Ever since she left the tea room, the top-floor annex had become particularly vulnerable to invasion.

"An enemy!" The ever-vigilant company Witch, stationed in the tea room awaiting orders, saw the irregular intrusion and immediately swung her Ion Sword at 102, who hurriedly raised her Short Spear to block.

Clang—The Witch’s silver Ion Sword was unstoppable, hacking a notch into the Short Spear. 102 quickly withdrew her War Spear, while the swordswoman Witch also leaped backward.

Alarms sounded, and all Quick Reaction Forces were converging on the top floor, intending to execute the invaders on the spot and kill them outright.

"They’re coming." Minamoto Makoto heard the alarm and smirked coldly, "As expected, they aim straight for Xisheng Shrine..."

This was their last chance. The Ghost Warrior stood beside Minamoto Makoto, slightly contemplative. It seemed to also be an opportunity for him.

Meanwhile, inside the top-floor tea room, 102 was embroiled in a tough fight, standing back to back with Lu Jing against the enemy.

She fired her Gunlance at the enemies appearing at the doorway. As the Gunlance roared, the door was damaged, but the leading Power Armored Soldiers were unharmed!

He was an elite among the security forces’ Power Armor troops, known colloquially as the "Riot Iron Guard." Now charging fiercely forward, he shot at 102 with his massive Bomb Cannon, the large-caliber bombs exploding against 102, knocking her several steps back.

The indestructible Riot Iron Guard continued to advance, leading the massive force behind him.

caught her breath, swinging her Short Spear forward in a sprint. The tea room provided a spacious field and clear line of fire. As long as she could block the doorway, any number of reinforcements could be annihilated!

Her sister could keep bringing allies or distract the enemy’s attention, then move everyone to places where the enemy’s defense was weak. 102 thought to herself. All she needed to do was perform to the fullest, avoiding any mistakes at her post!

Lu Jing, on the other hand, engaged in a sword fight with the Close Combat Specialized Witch wielding an Ion Sword. It seemed the opponent possessed magic power that enhanced her swordsmanship, brandishing her Ion Sword lethally, while Lu Jing’s weapon was mere mortal iron, making quick victory difficult.

Until Lu Jing released Anti-Magic Power!

Vivid and powerful Magic Power howled out, sweeping over the enemy Witch’s body. In an instant, her swordsmanship level dropped by at least two tiers, her movements slowed down. Once masterful, now her swordplay was riddled with errors, ultimately leading to Lu Jing piercing her heart with a sword!

After 101 left, she quickly reappeared with Zhang Yunxi and Seeking Shadow in tow.

Seeking Shadow turned to see the Riot Iron Guard charging into the room and immediately swung her Ion Sword "Shadow Kill" into an attack.

The Riot Iron Guard, seeing the cracks in 102’s Witch Armor, roared and continued to fire at 102, intent on killing her. It was then that Seeking Shadow unexpectedly struck, stabbing her Ion Sword into the enemy’s ribs!

The laser cut through the Power Armor’s casing, sizzling loudly. The Iron Guard, in pain, swung his heavy Bomb Cannon forcefully, smashing it down on Seeking Shadow like a War Club, blasting her away.

Seeking Shadow rolled quickly across the ground, taking a while to get back up.

The next second, an even more terrifying enemy had arrived: the Quantum Warrior!

It held Shilou Maru in hand, stepping towards the battlefield one step at a time, each step unleashing endless pressure.

Shallow Dream and Mizuiro Yoshioka arrived last. They saw the Quantum Warrior and immediately sensed an overwhelming killing intent. Mizuiro Yoshioka summoned large Ink Beasts, converging like a tide, while Shallow Dream raised her rifle, quickly retreating to look for a sniping opportunity.

The Ink Beasts surged through the tea room, dyeing Honma Noriko’s residence pitch black. They pounced on the Quantum Warrior; the formless nature of the Ink Beasts, resistant to slashing, was a great help. The Quantum Warrior made a clean cut but couldn’t kill the Ink Beasts. They were like a tidal wave of ink, crashing down on the Quantum Warrior, invading through its body gaps, corroding circuits, damaging batteries!

—The Quantum Warrior directly passed through the curtain of ink, launching a rapid attack on 102. Meanwhile, Zhang Yunxi was obstructed by the Riot Iron Guard and unable to assist, only watching helplessly as the Quantum Warrior attacked 102!

Shallow Dream locked time.

Clenching her teeth, she did not want to see 102 hurt and quickly halted time.

Bang!

She shot quickly at the Quantum Warrior’s head. Even the swiftest swordsmanship and movements couldn’t compete with her temporal manipulation, and the Quantum Warrior was forced to freeze in place! Still in a leaping posture, it endured Shallow Dream’s precise sniping.

A second later, time resumed flowing, and the Quantum Warrior, struck in the head, veered off in mid-leap, allowing 102 the chance to swing her Gunlance in retaliation. The Gunlance collided with Shilou Maru in mid-air, and the blade shattered upon impact, causing 102 to stagger backwards.

Quantum Warrior... extremely powerful.

Shallow Dream used her talisman to recover her magic power, and used time stasis again, desperately shooting at the Quantum Warrior, but no matter what, she couldn’t severely damage its outer layer of armor that had been amalgamated from top corporate technologies.

As time resumed its flow, the Quantum Warrior got ready for battle and immediately noticed Shallow Dream at the end of the tea room who had hit him and shifted its target to her.

Shallow Dream drained the last bit of her magic power, her face full of fear.

Its head bore scars, and its limbs and body were covered in ink, yet it remained agile and deadly, capable of killing all the witches in the tea room.

...How could they stop the Quantum Warrior? If everyone perished here, it would all be meaningless, and they could only rely on Farosa’s ultimate weapon. Shallow Dream’s heart raced, she told 101 to leave first, 101 couldn’t die here, he must jump back and find Farosa.

Zhang Yunxi had copied the close combat specialization, thrusting her alloy war spear through the Riot Iron Guard before her, then gasped for breath as she faced the Quantum Warrior, standing between it and her allies.

Her magic power wasn’t as abundant as Pan Ruiyi’s, and she probably couldn’t hold out until the Quantum Warrior was defeated, but she still wished to fight to the very last moment, just like Pan Ruiyi, who had always been Zhang Yunxi’s role model, the strongest Battle Witch in her eyes.

To copy her power was an honor, and to use it in battle against a powerful enemy was an utmost glory.

—— The elevator arrived.

An even more lethal Zina Tenjouin arrived on the battlefield, escorted by New Xisheng personnel. Zhang Yunxi’s movements stalled.

Zina scoffed, tightening the already tense situation. The Nestor Special Task Force was in a dire predicament.

"All Directions Stop!" Zina Tenjouin released her magic power.

Everything ceased to move.

Lu Jing swung her arm with force at the moment Zina Tenjouin moved, and anti-magic power formed a colorful and bizarre barrier in front of her, barely blocking the radiating stasis magic in all directions.

But this was only enough to save Lu Jing herself!

Lu Jing was filled with anxiety. They were like lambs to the slaughter, and once Zina brought other reinforcements, everyone would be captured.

The Quantum Warrior, corporate soldiers, 102, Zhang Yunxi, Mizuiro Yoshioka, Shallow Dream... all were devoured by the magic power, unable to move.

Based on past experience, if they could nullify the witch, if they could eliminate the source of the magic power — Lu Jing clenched her teeth, lifted her blade, coated it with anti-magic power, and then swept it out suddenly, creating a blade wind!

Zina Tenjouin was hit by the anti-magic power, her body tilting violently.

She staggered, her magic power waned, and the people around slowly began to move again. Lu Jing looked on with joy as 102 and the others started to limitedly move their limbs.

...But it wasn’t enough.

Zina Tenjouin, as the Dominator Witch, was only mildly affected! She just frowned and activated her power again, and everything, including Lu Jing herself, returned to stasis—it was a dead silence.

Zina Tenjouin couldn’t be more familiar with this scenario; this was the effect of her magic power.

Nothing could move, everything remained motionless, merely waiting for extinction.

However...

Zina Tenjouin was gasping for air, and the magic interference that had been attached to her was also dissipating—

After the removal of the incorrect memories, she remembered all that had been terribly distorted up to now!

This really was... thinking back on everything before, Zina Tenjouin now only felt an infinite shame! Humiliation!

"Minamoto! Makoto!"
