Chapter 771 Dragon Slaying (a Little Late, a Longer Chapter)
——The battle situation is gradually becoming white-hot.
The aftermath of the attack carried chaotic aura, turning into a tide that swept around; the attacking spells and boundless sword shadows flew wantonly in the sky; the rune rays and the blood rain containing Jenova cells destroyed the few intact lands on the ground; and the black dragon and the black giant were chasing each other in the sky, using the sky as their battlefield.
"High energy fluctuations detected!"
"Ah!"
Along with the warning sound of the Julia system, an angry dragon roar sounded immediately. In the violent energy fluctuations, a blazing dragon flame spewed out of the black dragon's mouth, illuminating a corner of the sky like a flame ray.
But Logan Dao, who had been prepared, just pulled the joystick in his hand, and the Wild Dragon Mecha Soldier changed his posture 180 degrees in mid-air, dodging the attacking dragon flame in an extremely flexible way. With a series of metallic sounds, the Oracle cells in the arms of the Wild Dragon Mecha quickly reshaped their shapes according to the weapons in the database, turning into two huge heavy Vulcan cannons!
Then, the black giant in the air fired its counterattack at the black dragon behind it in a head-down posture!
"Boom boom boom--"
Countless bullets shining with green cold light shot out from the barrel like a surging torrent at an astonishing speed and density, pouring down like a violent storm towards the mighty black dragon behind it, hitting its extremely hard scales, and making a continuous metal symphony.
Normal bullets naturally cannot shine green light. Every bullet fired by Luo Gandao is not an ordinary metal projectile, but a "Tiberian crystal erosion bullet" made by Chu Xuan in the main god space using the Tiberian crystal obtained from Yuri's storage bag!
Tiberium crystals, this crystal from the world of "Command and Conquer" is the same as Oracle Cells. It has the ability to erode and assimilate all substances. When the excessive accumulation exceeds the critical mass, a fusion nuclear explosion will occur.
Chu Xuan, who was "desperate" in Luo Gandao's opinion, was not afraid of death and fed it to Oracle Cells in batches, so that the erosion and assimilation abilities of the two promoted each other, turning into a semi-crystal and semi-cellular substance with geometrically increased efficiency. Its self-replication speed even nearly broke through Chu Xuan's containment measures several times...
And the "Tiberium erosion bomb" is to seal this dangerous crystal cell in a special magnetic field. When the bullet hits the target, the magnetic field will fail, and the crystal cell, which is no longer restricted, will frantically erode and devour everything around it until the Tiberium element explodes in the enemy's body!
However, no matter how dangerous the erosion and explosion are, if they cannot penetrate the opponent's body, they can only return in vain.
Unlike the monsters transformed by the pioneers in "Pacific Rim", the dragon in front of us is transformed by humans, and naturally contains many extraordinary abilities. As a golden light flashed, the attack that had originally made the black dragon retreat several points was immediately blocked by some kind of defense.
Let alone erosion and implosion, the bullet that exceeded the speed of sound by countless times, even if it was wrapped with the magic sword's hundreds of years of accumulated resentment and hatred curse, could not penetrate the unchanged dragon scales at all, but only caused bursts of explosions and smoke, slightly obscuring the black dragon's vision.
The gap between the levels of gene locks always exists. No matter how much powerful power he obtained through external forces, Luo Gandao himself has not reached the fourth level after all.
The long-range attack was not very effective, and the Vulcan Cannon on the arm of the Wild Dragon Mecha Soldier was retracted again and turned into its previous normal form.
Luo Gandao was not discouraged by the failure of his attack. Just now, he was just trying to collect data. Now, based on the analysis of Julia's system, he has roughly deduced the opponent's defense, so what's next--
Suddenly, Luo Gandao saw a light shining from the smoke, and he immediately took a dodging posture. The next moment, the super-high temperature rays spit out from the mouth of the black dragon only hit the position of the Huang Shenlong mecha a second ago, without causing any damage to the body.
But this is just the beginning.
As the wind from the flapping of the wings blew, the previous smoke was instantly dispelled, revealing the black dragon's undamaged body -
and the colorful streams of light shining around its body.
The spiritual power between heaven and earth turned into a raging storm, and suddenly became frantic. In Luo Gandao's vision, there were little by little lights beside the black dragon that turned into illusory magic circles and lit up.
First one, two... until the final twelve.
In the sky, the huge black dragon's eyes flashed with a ferocious cold light. And around its body, twelve magic circles of different shapes slowly rotated, emitting dazzling brilliance, as if they were the brightest stars in the night sky.
In each rotating magic circle, a powerful force was brewing, like a volcano lurking under the earth's crust, quietly brewing an upcoming eruption. And every bit of condensed energy that was ready to go was no less intense than the high-heat ray that the black dragon had released earlier.
It was as if there were twelve dragons brewing their own breath at the same time.
"Fuck!"
A sense of danger like a thorn in the back made Luo Gandao, who was still thinking about his next tactics, stand up in an instant. He only had time to curse before he instinctively controlled the thrusters of the machine to spray at full force and dodge to the side at high speed. At the same time, the black mist around the body of the Wild Dragon Mecha condensed into several small magic swords, forming a formation around the body like a floating gun, and opened a layer of spiritual shield!
The next moment, the sky became brighter.
As if the sun had just risen in the sky, the dust on the battlefield that was originally raised by the aftermath of the fierce battle between multiple parties was illuminated by the pure white spiritual light. Twelve dazzling white lights condensed from the purest energy with a destructive aura burst out from the periphery of the black dragon, like twelve swords of light, piercing straight to the position of the Desolate Dragon Mecha!
Even though Luo Gandao dodged quickly enough, several wisps of black mist were still slashed down, and a small magic sword was dissolved by the torrent of light in an instant. But before Luo Gandao could smile for his successful dodge, several slashes transformed from the gushing dragon energy also followed, chasing the trajectory of the Desolate Dragon Mecha!
——Damn it, doesn't this guy need to consider energy reserves? Such a large-scale attack...
Twelve white beams intertwined with each other, forming a huge net, which surrounded the Wild Dragon Mecha Soldier and cut it continuously, forcing Luo Gandao, who was forced to dodge and had only the strength to escape, to complain bitterly.
This is obviously not a normal attack method, and it is not even a normal attack method that can be used by intelligent humans. Just as Luo Gandao thought, Li Ala, who had transformed into a giant dragon and used the "Dragon Roar Retreat Cannon" to bombard the Five Spirits Zhenmai Map, was originally in a state of lack of energy. How could he use such a long-range attack that consumes energy and has a low hit rate?
The advantage of the black dragon transformed by Li Ala is its unparalleled body and unparalleled combat power in close combat. Under its powerful muscles, bones and scales, it contains a savage force that can tear all enemies apart.
At this moment, the long-range attack is obviously not a tactic suitable for it. Whether it is sniping or fire suppression, these are Ernst's strengths, not the aspects that Li Ala is good at with his physical fitness and physical strength as his advantages... Being able to do such an operation of attacking the enemy's strengths with his own weaknesses is enough to show that the one who is now controlling the black dragon's body is not Li Ala, a member of the "God Team", but a pure beast.
But the power of the fourth level is ultimately beyond the mundane existence. Even if it is transformed into a beast and abandons human wisdom and rationality, it is still the fourth level!
Even driven by dementia and wildness, the ability displayed by the black dragon is still something that Logan Dao cannot confront head-on. Using tactics that are not the most suitable for him, boundless energy penetrates everything around him, tearing apart mountains and evaporating rivers... One after another, large-scale destructive skills are transformed into the most primitive energy and gushed out. Even if they are not condensed in detail, they are enough to make Logan Dao extremely embarrassed.
The black fog was evaporated, the resentment was purified, and even with the assistance of the Julia system, in the face of this overwhelming white death light, Logan Dao still found it difficult to dodge all the attacks. Soon, the aura shield he had initially erected was penetrated by the surging light stream, and the several small magic swords condensed from the black mist gradually lost their ability to support it and dissipated into the air...
But during this extremely dangerous evasion process, Luo Gandao also analyzed through the Julia system that the black dragon in front of him had a body of copper and iron, and even the Taijing erosion bomb could not scratch the scales.
Although the black dragon in front of him had extremely high defense, it was not to the point of completely ignoring long-range attacks. The real secret was the layer of golden defense covering the outside of the black dragon's body...It was actually a force field shield with countless prisms.
According to the data comparison of the Julia system, except for the different color, this shield had exactly the same properties as the A.T force field around Ernst's body before, and even the energy readings and other aspects were more than 98% similar!
A.T force field!
When Luo Gandao came to this conclusion, even with his nerve reaction speed, he couldn't help but hesitate for a moment... and this moment of hesitation almost made him lose an arm. Fortunately, he still made an emergency dodge at the last moment and was not really hit. But this conclusion was enough to shock him.
—— According to the theory that Brother Yang Yun once mentioned in casual chat, the A.T force field should be a kind of spiritual light.
Logically speaking, there is no completely identical spiritual light in this world. Although the A.T force field is not a true self-awakening, but a spiritual light that can be artificially reproduced, it is indeed a spiritual light... But why do the two members of the Celestial God Team have spiritual lights that are almost identical in other aspects except for the color?
Continuous questions emerged from Luo Gandao's mind. At this moment, he felt that he seemed to have discovered an incredible secret in the Celestial God Team.
But Luo Gandao also knew that this was not something that his wisdom could understand. To find out the truth behind this secret, the wise man in the team had to do it.
So as Luo Gandao pressed the button, the two sets of comparison data about the A.T force field were transmitted through the communication system. After doing all this, Luo Gandao relaxed a little. While tensing his nerves to avoid the oncoming destructive white light, he analyzed his chances of winning based on the data.
The A.T force field, plus the strong resistance of the black dragon's own scales, made long-range attacks ineffective. If he didn't have the fourth-level subtle power, he couldn't even hurt Li Ala's body.
And just breaking through the opponent's scales was meaningless. Luo Gandao also needed to deliver a fatal blow before the opponent recovered from his injuries. This couldn't help but remind him of the mechanical bosses in the games he had played that could only be defeated by specific methods. Every time, he had to rack his brains to achieve the final victory.
"There is no way...it seems we can only seize the fleeting chance of victory." Luo Gandao said to himself after glancing at the energy reading in the upper right corner of the screen and the synchronization rate of the link induction with the body.
If you defend for a long time, you will lose. Although the dragon in front of you releases energy like this, it consumes a lot of energy. Maintaining the Desolate Dragon Robot also requires a lot of Luo Gandao's mental energy. In just a few minutes, he felt like he had a splitting headache in his head. Feel……
As long as you step into the fourth level, you can be among the powerful in the main god space. Their essence, their existence, is the absolute suppression of low-level life forms.
Even if a fourth-level strong man is placed on the final battlefield, it is enough to get a ticket to participate in the final battle... Even if Chu Xuan's technological support gives Luo Gandao the ability to fight against the fourth level in a short time, but As a pilot, he has only unlocked the second level of genetic lock!
If he hadn't experienced Chu Xuan's hellish training, become familiar with it, and become accustomed to the physical pain, Luo Gandao would have screamed out and lost the ability to fight again.
But now, Luo Gandao can still grit his teeth and persist until he gets a chance. An opportunity to wait for the opponent's energy to be unable to keep up with the supply, thus revealing a flaw, and for the energy index of the A.T force field to drop to the lowest level!
——And the opportunity he was waiting for came sooner than he expected.
With such wild twelve energy beams released at the same time, how long can even a fourth-level powerhouse hold on?
Just like a human holding his breath underwater for a period of time, he will eventually surface to take a breath. After bombarding Luo Gan Dao for several minutes, the white light finally showed signs of fading slightly, which also made this The mighty giant network of light revealed some flaws...
Then, there is the sudden advance!
Two long ion beams burst out from the back of the Huangshenlong mecha. They were the "X-type thrusters" installed by Chu Xuan after thirty-two improvements. In an instant, they turned the burly and boundless black mecha into a A stream of light that could not catch the slightest trace with the naked eye drew a winding trajectory at a speed that ordinary people could not react, and rushed away according to the route marked by the Julia system!
This is not a surprise attack that ordinary people can carry out at all, because the turbulent energy beam has not faded away. Even if the black dragon's offensive slows down slightly, the white ray still stays in the air, only revealing a flaw for a thousandth of a second at most.
However, in front of Luo Gandao who unlocked the third level gene lock, this thousandth of a second was enough!
——Yes, that's it... It's this long-lost feeling of life and death, this feeling of becoming one with the vehicle beneath you, and then breaking through all difficulties and obstacles!
The shackles of the brain were broken, and the nerve reaction speed reached a new high, making Luo Gandao completely able to do things that he could not do before.
At the critical moment, he turned, turned over with one hand with the help of the materialized black mist, and used the black mist to rub the light beam to obtain the centrifugal force of the turn... In a trance, Luo Gandao seemed to have returned to the black car race scene he was most familiar with before entering the main god space!
Hot blood surged in the body, and the blood rushed to the brain, making Deluo Gandao's face turn red. Although it is good to fight multiple transformed tyrants in hand-to-hand combat, it is not the most suitable fighting method for Luo Gandao. In the current state, it is the most exciting pleasure in the line between life and death!
Following the marked route, the last obstacle level was also broken through. Following a 720-degree rotation, after paying the price of having most of the black mist dispersed, the Aragami Dragon Robot finally rushed out of the twelve destructive white lights with a series of circular sonic boom clouds behind it. A dragnet formed, and the road ahead will be smooth——
——Luo Gandao, that’s what he originally thought.
——Until he saw the red light rising from the black dragon's body, gestating in its mouth.
At this moment, Luo Gandao understood one thing. That's why the black dragon showed its flaws so quickly. He thought it was because of the previous attack that caused the opponent's energy reserves to be insufficient, but he never thought that Liala had gained a short rest through Alanster's previous sniper attack. Time took the rejuvenating elixir that quickly restored energy... As a result, the black dragon that should have exposed its flaws still had the power of a single blow!
The black dragon and the giant looked at each other less than a kilometer apart. With such a close distance, Luo Gandao could even clearly see the opponent's nostrils glowing with sparks, the nuclear-like explosive energy in his mouth, and the cruel determination to kill in his eyes.
——It’s over, there’s no way to escape.
The movements of his body were faster than his thoughts. Before rushing out of the dragnet, Luo Gandao clenched the Aragami Demonic Sword in his hand to ensure a sure kill, and was ready to thrust. Even the thrusters behind him were turned to maximum. . Now, he had no time to change his posture, retreat, and organize a counterattack again.
"do not give up."
Just as Luo Gandao gritted his teeth, ready to abandon all defenses and keep his original state to charge forward with his sword, to see if he could use the Wild God Demon Sword to penetrate the opponent's vitals before being melted by the dragon breath exhaled by the black dragon, and achieve a one-for-one result, the voice of the Overlord suddenly came from the communication system: "Seize the opportunity."
"Victory or defeat is just a matter of seconds."
"Boom!"
The light of thunder and lightning broke the brief silence before the final blow.
Accompanied by a bright and dazzling white magnetic light flowing upstream from the ground, it was like a bridge of light, connecting the mortal world and the sky, and rising obliquely towards the endless sky - just like a sharp sword, it tore through all obstacles in its way and hit the black dragon's chin with great accuracy!
"Hmm!"
The sudden attack that caught the Black Dragon off guard hit the target. Although it failed to completely break through the Black Dragon's A.T. force field, the impact caused its chin to deflect slightly. Together with the spurting out of the fiery chaos, the golden-red rays containing the remaining energy in the Black Dragon's body also deviated from the target, only cutting off a quarter of the body on the left side of the chest of the Wild Dragon Mecha Soldier, and not directly penetrating Luo Gandao himself in the center of the chest!
——This is Luo Gandao's chance of victory.
——A chance created by the Overlord for him to win by using the third level to reverse the fourth level.
"Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh!!!!!!"
Countless black mists and metals suddenly dissipated from the wound, accompanied by the severe pain that pierced the heart, but Luo Gandao could no longer feel it.
The terrifying aura spread out, and the extremely concentrated spiritual will urged the leaping oracle cells in Luo Gandao's body, making his body, the Wild Dragon Mecha Soldier, and the magic sword in his hand merge into one, and slashed down towards the heart of the black dragon with the force of splitting Huashan!
The golden A.T force field was shattered in an instant; the pitch-black ancient dragon scales did not stop the equally pitch-black giant sword at all.
The scales were pierced, the flesh was torn, the blood vessels were cut, and the internal organs were destroyed... Just like that, the Wild Dragon Mecha Soldier, who lost nearly a quarter of his body, fell straight to the earth with the black dragon pierced through the heart by the magic sword!
I thought I'd better finish this chapter and not drag it out until tomorrow.
