Chapter 508: Chapter 71: Combat Skills Against the Sea Race_1

"Thanks." Lina and Freya lightly palm-hit in midair, continuing the previous topic: "Of course, what I said earlier doesn’t mean that the Divine Artifact has its own thoughts on the contrary. Precisely because it doesn’t have any thoughts, its responses are so rigid, and the Sea Race it controls are mechanical as well. This is probably just its preset reactions when it was created. Since it has started to call all the controlled Sea Race to protect it, it indicates that it has no other methods left. It may have a few Mares guarding it at most, but under the prestige of the Silver White Moon, the Mares’ strength is bound to be compressed to the extreme, and my Life and Healing Divine Spells will be amplified to their strongest. So, as long as we find it, we’ve won for sure."

"But we have to find it first." Catherine was the first to ascend a gigantic stone without enemies, took a few deep breaths before speaking, "Don’t forget that Pannis is still fighting within the domain. The opponent’s huge size naturally gives it certain advantages, so we must solve the problem as fast as we can so that he could return safely. None of us wants him to die, right? Even though he always says that he won’t die, none of us would want him to actually die again, right?"

"Of course, but panicking won’t solve anything." Freya supporting Lina climbed up to the gigantic stone Catherine was on, and she also climbed up, gasping and said, "We should rest for a minute. We are too exhausted from all the rushing and fighting."

"I know, we still have some time." Catherine nodded. Having climbed up the gigantic stone, the four of them had probably covered half of their rushing journey. From the huge stone, it could be seen that the road ahead was more difficult. With the passage of time, more controlled Sea Race had already started to block the road and were gathering on this side. Catherine bit her lip and said, "We need to run diagonally upward first, and then charge down when we are almost there. Despite being a longer path, it actually saves more energy than running directly horizontally. Of course, the prerequisite is that the controlled Sea Race circle directly towards us, instead of gathering around the target."

"It seems that they are coming straight at us." Lina lightly touched her fingers, releasing Healing Spells on everyone. Although Healing Spells couldn’t restore physical strength, after the casting of Healing Spells, they could let the slight muscular injuries caused by intense exercise heal quickly, which was considered as indirectly relieving fatigue.

"Alright, rest time is over." Catherine kicked a controlled Sea Race peeping out from the opposite side of the gigantic stone down, pointed at an uphill direction and said, "First, we need to break to that point. Whether the back journey will be smooth depends on this."

"Big sis, wait." Freya held down Catherine’s shoulder: "There are six enemies up there, and at least five meters height difference. Including the width, it won’t be easy to pass. I’ll go up first, and then you throw them up. Finally, you come up. You can rest a bit more, as we’ll depend on your assault power later."

"You’re sure you could handle it then." Catherine nodded, stepped back, and put Vivian down behind her: "Off you go."

During the previous preparation, Freya had already put on several metal devices on her ankles and knee joints. At this time, she bent down and pressed and patted several devices on her ankles, taking out a Crystal Energy Rifle that looked like a hand cannon. Taking a deep breath, and raising her Magic Shield in advance, she jumped toward the front. The first to work is the mechanism of the knee joint. It is a tool called the Jump Assistant, with which mechanics can enhance the extension strength of the knee joint, allowing them to run and jump higher and faster. Of course, the enhanced strength relates to the size of the equipment and the physical endurance of each user. Choosing a level beyond one’s own endurance would undoubtedly cause joint damage and lose the ability to fight. But, judging from Freya’s understanding of mechanics, the strength she chose was just right. With the help of the Jump Assistant, she stretched her legs with the strongest force and jumped off the ground. As soon as her feet left the ground, the mechanism on her ankles began working. After several explosive sounds, two miniature Crystal Energy bombs exploded under her feet. The propulsion in the opposite direction shot her out like a Crystal Bullet, aiming straight for the top of the target rock.

The rock on the other side was very large, and it still looked empty, even with six members of the Sea Race on it. One of the Sea Race just walked to the edge of the rock, preparing to jump towards the four to launch an attack. Just as he peeked out to see the situation on this side, he saw a massive body shooting at him like a bullet. He instinctively retreated a few steps, only had enough time to deploy the Aggression Shield, and then he was impacted.

When shields collide, if there is a significant gap in strength between them such as when a Legendary Shield and a Golden Shield collide, even though the shields have no offensive power, and the Golden Shield wouldn’t break due to the impact, the user of the Golden Shield would be knocked away. In contrast, the holder of the Legendary Rank Shield will be only minimally affected, as most of the impact force would be absorbed by the shield. However, if the gap in strength between the shields isn’t too wide, shield collision would follow the basic principles of physics, just like when two individuals without shields run into each other, the collision impact on both shields can depend greatly on the speed and weight. This was precisely the situation now. Freya, with a clear advantage in both weight and speed, directly collided head-on with the Sea Race creature that was peeping out. The creature soared into the air and bumped into its companion, they both tumbled down the slope like logs, knocking down countless climbing enemies along the way.

As for Freya, even after sending her enemies flying, she still carried on a few more meters propelled by inertia. She then performed several rolls with a dexterity uncharacteristic to her physique on the rock before finally rolling to a stop in a position where her back was against a protruding rock. Not hesitating a moment, she raised her arm and fired two shots. The Energy Bullets that Freya chose were impact-type. A colorless energy ball flew out from the muzzle of the gun, and a massive recoil force pushed her tightly against the rock behind, causing a tingling sensation in her arm. With such strong recoil, it was clear the Energy Bullet’s power was significant. Almost simultaneously as the gunshot echoed, the energy bullets hit their targets and exploded. Two enemies were blasted away before they even had the chance to activate their shields. They shrieked as they flew nearly twenty meters before crashing to the ground, their landing looked horrific.

With her gunfire still ringing in the air, Vivian’s magic arrived. After a series of battles, the girls had already recognized the key points of this fight. The controlled Sea Race, interspersed with Legendary and Golden ranks, were formidable, but their weaknesses were also apparent. First, they were under mind control, their responses were extremely rigid and mechanical. During combat, they only engage head-on refusing to dodge and flank attacks. They even used shields and their bodies to rigidly resist magical attacks. Second, they were not accustomed to land battles, they were unstable as they just crawled out of the water. Understanding these two weaknesses, it would be challenging for the girls to fight their way through, as even with these two weaknesses, they were still facing quite a lot of Legendary Rank professionals. It would take a lot of time to kill them, at which point they would be surrounded by more enemies. However, if their goal was simply to knock them off the mountain and clear a way forward, it would be much easier. Accordingly, the girls chose impact-type attacks. For instance, Vivian chose the Explosive Flame Spell, which she excelled at using against Pannis and Lina.

The explosion of a ball of fire brought out a brilliant glow in the moonlit night. As the spherical Explosive Flame Spell approached the center of the targeted rock, it detonated under Vivian’s control. The real power of the Explosive Flame Spell lies not only in its wide-range burning ability, but crucially in the strong physical impact. When the Explosive Flame Spell burst, it unleashed a fire-filled shockwave that swept throughout space around the rock. After the shock wave, no controlled Sea Race creatures could be seen on the platform other than Freya who managed to avoid being knocked down the slope due to her shielding and her secure position against the rock. The three Sea Race creatures who were originally standing on the rock had already rolled out of sight.

As soon as the blast from the Explosive Flame Spell subsided, Lina was thrown up by Catherine. As soon as her feet touched the ground, she performed a few rolls to dissipate her forward momentum. She quickly stood up and extended her hand, catching Vivian who was thrown up right behind her. At the same moment, Catherine started her Charge towards Lina as a target, reaching her destination effortlessly.

"Keep moving." Catherine smoothly moved Vivian back onto her back and pulled Freya from the ground, shielding them with the magicsteel shield and hopping onto the next rock: "We’ll dash forward a bit, then continue upward. Try not to let the enemies force us too high."

"Whew!" Another ball of Explosive Flame Spell shot out from Vivian’s hand and detonated with a mighty explosion in front of them. Ignoring the horrible sight of the enemies being blown away, Vivian seemed to have found some interesting plaything and let out a series of crisp laughter, "I suddenly feel that, with this kind of terrain as support, and facing this group of dumb enemies, even if their number doubled, it wouldn’t be difficult at all. They don’t even know how to counterattack with magic. It’s so easy to deal with them from a distance."

"Bang." Just as Vivian finished her words, seven or eight water orbs the size of human heads came smashing over. A few Sea Race creatures from the Water Gun Clan that they had previously encountered stood in their path, shooting water bullets from the myriad of holes in their bodies. Luckily, Catherine was at the forefront. She jabbed her magicsteel shield into the ground with a sixty-degree angle and used her shoulder to prop it up. Of the incoming water bullets, three missed their target and the others hit the shield frontally. Even with Catherine’s strength, she was forced to retreat a few steps before regaining her balance.

"Keep quiet." Catherine spoke, a tinge of annoyance in her voice, "Just cast your magic obediently, spout this nonsense again, and I’ll confiscate all your experimental equipment once we get back."

Vivian stuck her tongue out at Catherine, pulled a face behind her and simultaneously moved to cast another Explosive Flame Spell. This time she sneakily hid a physical Impact Spell behind her flame which doubled the blast radius, therefore inflicting damage on more victims who were sent screaming and rolling down the slope.
