Chapter 488: Guardian of the Ruins
The lines along the black stone wall flow with a blue glow visible to the naked eye. The elemental energy extracted from the air condenses and converges at the engine's propulsion core, exerting propulsion power in a predetermined direction.
Twenty guard structures are neatly arranged in the underground area as wide as a stadium. The mechanical structure is neatly gathered and arranged together like fish scales, and it looks like a humanoid skeleton with all flesh and blood removed to form its body.
The soulless machine follows the circuit action and regards the instructions left by the builder as its first action principle.
Protect facilities.
This is the only value they have to maintain their existence.
Protect and defend.
Relying on the self-maintenance and power supply equipment of the ruins themselves, they can maintain themselves in a dormant state for hundreds of years... Now the power from the outside world repairs their damage, reshapes the rune circuit, and awakens the ruins.
Five-meter-high anti-joint walking guard structure.
The five-meter-high walking structure loyally waits for the arrival of the invader in silence, protecting the core cabin and power supply cabin that control the operation of the ruins behind itself.
‘Ruins Guard’
Anti-joint walking structure guards, five-meter class, equipped with solidified airborne shields.
They are not like the completely scrapped ruins guards that Ji Lin first found in the ruins of the sky island he owned. Those completely scrapped ruins guards did not have many technical resources with recycling value.
But they have.
The ruins guards that are still able to function represent danger, but also higher value... and danger.
“What the hell is this!”
The battle mage wearing light guard armor raised the arcane rifle in his hand, replaced the replaceable solidified spell array in the barrel position, and replaced the original light blue pattern module with a metal block engraved with red lines.
Modular, freely switch the firing mode of the rifle.
Switch between firing energy projectiles of different forms.
The orange-yellow fireball condensed in an instant drew a trail in the air and hit the stretched spell shield.
The improved fireball spell, while weakening the power, speeds up the flight speed and casting speed of the projectile.
Fist-sized improved fireballs rained down on the mage's armor, splashing out ripples, while the shield/armor showed no sign of shaking.
"The fire shot is useless! It can't penetrate the shield of this construct!"
A battle mage shouted to his comrades, while using his extremely amazing nerve reflex speed to dodge the light blade swung by the ruins guard.
Lightweight rune armor is designed to protect soldiers from external attacks, while using amplification runes to enhance the wearer's combat capabilities.
The blade-like arms flashing with azure light left a deep mark visible to the naked eye on the black stone ground, almost completely cutting a battle mage in half from top to bottom.
The rune armor on the battle mage couldn't even hold up for a tenth of a second in front of these five-meter-tall, light-blading anti-joint walkers.
They even suspected that the same-level constructs could not rely on their structure to withstand the blade-like arms flashing with azure light.
"What about lightning spells? Does it have any effect on the airborne shields!"
What's more troublesome is that the airborne shields equipped on these constructs are improved from the mage shields. The lightweight weapons in the hands of the battle mages can't effectively break through the azure shields deployed by the ruins guards.
This is the defect of spell weapons, the dual defects of energy density and energy output efficiency.
The twenty fourth-era battle mages concentrated their firepower and couldn't quickly break through the shields held up by the two ruins guards.
If there were all these big guys inside... they might not be able to fulfill their lord's expectations.
Their weapons were a little powerless when facing the two ruins guards guarding the door.
Maybe it's because the arcane rifles/magic rifles in their hands are specialized against infantry, and their output efficiency is far less than that of war equipment specifically used to fight constructs.
"Lightning spells don't work either! Use formal spells, the spell output speed of these weapons is too slow."
Another battle mage wearing feathers shouted to him.
While moving, the magic rifle in his hand was constantly firing a large number of fireballs at the waving construct.
The miniaturized fireball spell that hit the torso was enough to kill an ordinary person, but it had no obvious effect on the shield of the construct.
A formal attack spell is needed.
"You hold it back, I need some time to prepare the spell."
The elven battle mage sat in place, took a deep breath, and began to prepare to cast a standard intermediate spell with the magic rifle in his hand as the auxiliary medium for casting.
It is still the most effective and direct fireball spell.
High heat can exert sufficient pressure on any shield device, and the simple and fast casting makes all mages use it as their first choice to defeat the enemy.
Even if they have to run back, they can at least bring more information to their lord...
Fortunately, these highly mobile battle mages came in to explore the way. The exploration troops with insufficient flexibility can only die when facing the ruins guards...
Unless the number is large enough to exhaust all the energy reserves of the ruins guards.
But that is obviously unrealistic.
Entering the fifth era, the number of construct units deployed by each lord on the battlefield will tend to increase exponentially.
Their thick armor structure can directly ignore all weapons with low power and filter out the harassment attacks of the enemy's "cannon fodder" troops...
Unable to penetrate armor, naturally unable to cause any damage.
Sulfur fell on the palm of the Elf Battle Mage's hand, the trajectory drawn in the air was drawn into a spell model, and the extended magic rifle's blade drooped.
The sudden burst of flames fell on the body of the construct, and the shield that had been motionless finally revealed a flaw in front of the formal attack spell.
(I went out to eat tonight, and I will go out to eat tomorrow.)
