Chapter 504
Chapter 504 Black Sun
To be fair, the magical machine squad wasn’t weak at all.
The strength of each member could at least rival that of a veteran adept. Their leader, Tigule, even possessed the power of a Second Grade adept. However, while their strengths were visible, their weaknesses were even more apparent.
The ones that piloted these machines were all goblin mechanics that had undergone arduous training. However, there were still far too many blind spots when they were cooped up in those narrow and tiny cockpits. There was a limit to the range of the lens’ vision. Moreover, the goblins were far too weak. They were often incapable of enduring a casual blow by the adepts the moment their metallic shell was pried open.
However, what limited the strength of the machines the most was their lack of alloys forged from magical metals.
They had created the machines with the toughest substance on the Goblin Plane– Krathor Alloy. This alloy was exceptional when it came to its toughness and flexibility. Unfortunately, it was far too weak when resisting magic!
The Goblin Plane lacked magical creatures. As such, there was no reason for them to invest large amounts of resources into researching an exceptional magical metal alloy. That caused the magical machines to be easily penetrated by the adepts when dealt too many magical attacks.
All these factors added together was what resulted in the utter defeat of the magical machine squad right now.
“Taste my goblin artillery, intruder!” The old goblin let out an orgasmic cry and furiously smashed the crystal button on his table.
Weng! A muffled boom.
The massive floating vessel rocked as a blinding black pillar of light shot towards Greem at the speed of lightning.
Greem had detected the abnormality in the sky a long time ago.
The powerful magical energy that gathered above him was like a rising black sun. It was hard even to ignore its existence.
Greem pushed away all his enemies with a Flame Halo of Repulsion before straightening his body and lifting his head to see what it was the enemy intended to do.
It was a cluster of pure magical energy that still retained the violent and chaotic nature of magic from the space beyond the plane. It was probably the spatial energy extracted from a space furnace.
Judging from this, the flying ship above them must have a steadily functioning space furnace at its core.
The goblins had no affinity for elementium control. As such, it would be hard for them to convert the spatial energy into unusual spells of various forms. Consequently, they could only gather all this spatial energy and use it in this extremely crude fashion of firing it.
However, spatial energy possessed destructive and chaotic traits. It caused tremendous amounts of damage to the stable elementium energy inside the adepts. The goblins’ means of attack might seem simple and crude, but the might it possessed was by no means small.
Greem looked on as the black sun lit up in the barrel of the cannon. He watched as the ship shook intensely. He even watched as the black pillar of light shot towards him, targeting his chest.
The black light wasn’t all that fast, but the spatial energy was clearly damaging the elementium balance of the plane. The space of the plane started to tremble and ripple wherever the black light went. The crackling sound of the chain explosion of elementium energy rang out in the air.
The black pillar of light that initially had a diameter of no more than one meter had expanded into a massive column with a twenty-meter radius when it was halfway to its target. By the time it reached in front of Greem, the radius of the pillar of light had reached as far as a hundred meters. The power of the attack per unit area within the pillar of light reached upwards of a thousand points.
Not temperature, but a thousand points in terms of energy damage!
Greem’s heart trembled, and he teleported to the maximum possible distance with a single Fire Teleportation. Mary, who was at the edge of the pillar of black light, extended her wings and escaped at a speed that the naked eye couldn’t catch.
That put Bug Adept Billis in a tight spot, with his lack of mobility spells.
His body fell apart, and he turned into a swarm of bugs that burrowed into the ground. The one dozen sting scorpions frantically gathered on him and formed a multi-layer bug shield above him.
However, a spatial energy attack of over a thousand points was not that easy to take on.
The next second, Billis paid a terrible price for his arrogance!
