Asura of Tomorrow's Ark

Because of the lack of the two forwards, ACE and Huang, Candle Knight and Xingji had to step up.

The direct lethality of their weapons is weak, and they rely more on Origin Stone skills to add other effects to the slim sword. Even ACE couldn't kill the mutant with one hammer, let alone the two of them. .

At this time, the swords of the two men were shining with brilliant starlight and candlelight respectively, but they had little effect on the mutant, as if all the spell effects on the swords were absorbed.

When facing these outrageously tough mutants, no matter how exquisite their swordsmanship was, they could not exert much power and could only retreat step by step.

"Use Origin Stone skills! Use magic!"

"I've already used it! But it doesn't work!"

Elena waved her short staff in panic, and there were several bright balls of light floating around her, which were very similar to the light emitted by the constellation guardians of the stars.

Although Elena looked very panicked, there was nothing wrong with her hand movements.

Streams of brilliant iridescent light shot out from the light ball, avoiding the Star Pole and Candle Knight at the front, refracting back and forth on the three mutants, intertwining into a beautiful and deadly light network.

Wherever the light swept, the alloy wall instantly burned red. This showed that the beams released by Elena not only looked beautiful, but also had fatal lethality.

However, these high-energy lasers hit the mutant's body without causing any damage, not even leaving any traces.

Everything happening in front of her completely challenged Elena's common sense. How could there be creatures in this world that could not be harmed by high-energy lasers?

Elena still lacked actual combat experience. She exerted too much force and was soon unable to maintain her Origin Stone skills. The few light balls around her dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Although it failed to cause harm to the mutants, Elena's Origin Stone skills still hindered some of their actions.

Now without Elena's fire support, the mutants' offensive became more fierce, and Viviana and Xingji instantly became in danger.

Provence took the opportunity to shoot a few arrows, which also had little effect, but helped the two of them get out of danger.

At this time, Li Ang and the other two happened to come back.

"Hold on! Here we come!"

Seeing that his companion was in danger, ACE rushed forward without hesitation.

With previous encounters, ACE has almost mastered the weaknesses of this monster.

Even though mutants are ridiculously tough, their purpose isn't to kill these things in the first place.

The weight is very light, even lighter than a person of the same volume, which is the biggest weakness of these mutants.

When he got close to the sides of the mutants, ACE used his shield one by one to send them flying away.

One of them happened to land at Huang's feet, and without much hesitation, she slashed at it with her chain sword.

The red-hot chain saw struck Mutant Kick's neck, and with an unpleasant crunching sound, it cut in with difficulty.

Feeling the resistance from his arms, Huang's expression changed instantly.

"What the hell is this! Isn't it too hard?!? Rhode Island's armor isn't even that exaggerated!"

Huang didn't feel too much when she saw ACE's hammer failed to smash her skull, but when she actually got started, she realized how outrageous this thing was.

Now, the chain saw was stuck in the mutant's neck, and Huang couldn't pull the weapon out for a while.

Seeing more mutants pouring out from the depths of the passage, she simply gritted her teeth, her face turned red from holding back, and she pressed forward with all her strength.

After a few seconds of stalemate, just when Huang's arm became a little weak, the feeling in her hand finally relaxed, and the rotating chain saw was deeply embedded in the laboratory floor like cutting tofu.

Before he could take a breath, Huang quickly pulled out his weapon and retreated as if fleeing.

"Get out of here! Get out!"

ACE shouted, "It's too narrow here! Don't get entangled with these things!"

Chapter 66 Heir again?

After seeing how difficult these ghosts were, no one wanted to fight.

Under the cover of ACE and Huang, the group of people repelled the mutants and evacuated from the laboratory in great disgrace.

There was a battle option in their original plan. Although it was against infected creatures rather than this kind of monster, ACE quickly took over the command of the team.

The division of labor between the three people in Rhode Island is very clear. ACE, the former officer, is responsible for commanding the battle, Provence, the natural disaster messenger, is responsible for guiding contacts in the contaminated area, and Warfarin, who is a high-level executive in Rhode Island, is responsible for contacting representatives of the other two organizations. , and make some important decisions.

Now, it's time to fight.

"Keep retreating! Lead those things to a more open area!"

The narrow indoor environment is extremely unfavorable for them. Although they can control the number of enemies they face at the same time to single digits, the problem is... with ACE and Huang alone, they may not be able to resist even single digit enemies. Stay, if the escape route is blocked, it will be over.

So it would be better to simply attract those mutants to the ground. At least it would be easier to escape in the open area.

Their purpose is not to kill the mutants. If they can find a way to trap them for a period of time, they can also take the things in the laboratory and run away.

However, when they ran back to the ground in a panic, they found that things developed differently than they imagined.

"I said ACE...it seems like those monsters haven't caught up..."

Looking at the dark passage with no movement behind him, Huang couldn't help but scratch his head.

"...Knight, what's going on in the laboratory now?" After a moment of silence, ACE asked.

After Li Ang sensed the state inside the laboratory, he frowned and replied, "Those...those experimental subjects have returned to the laboratory and seem to have entered a dormant state."

This doesn't seem like something an irrational monster could do. Is there something controlling them?

"Lair?" ACE also had the same doubt in his mind.

No matter how you look at it, those mutants seem to have returned to their 'nest'.

"Forget it... No matter what, let's sort out the current situation first."

Putting the question out of his mind for the moment, ACE asked, "Is anyone hurt?"

Although the previous battle was very short, the intensity was not low at all. In that fleeting moment, one could be seriously injured if not careful.

Of course, what ACE was most worried about was whether the protective clothing was damaged and whether Viviana, who was not wearing protective clothing, was injured by those things.

Infection through wounds is the most common way of infection by that type of parasite. During the Kazdaele Civil War, ACE also saw many similar things.

In accordance with ACE's requirements, they checked each other's protective clothing for damage.

After some inspection, it was discovered that because ACE came back in time, none of them were seriously injured. The knight armor on Viviana was not a decoration, and the defense was not necessarily worse than their protective suits.

Even Xingji, who was in the most serious condition, only had a five centimeter long scratch on his right arm holding the sword.

The scratches were not deep and could not penetrate the protective clothing. The quality of the Rhode Island Engineering Department can still be trusted.

"I should be able to block it," Xingji said with a frown, "but when facing that monster, my constellation guardianship didn't have much effect."

According to Xingji herself, although her constellation guardianship is not effective against energy attacks, it is enough to withstand an Ursus heavy artillery bombardment. It is a very powerful defensive source stone technique.

Because he believed in his own magic too much, he didn't expect that it would have no effect this time. Xingji was caught off guard and was unable to dodge.

"Yeah, yeah, I've never seen anything so hard."

On the other side, Elena also complained, "I'm so tired that I almost lost strength... Even the high-temperature resistant armor from the engineering department isn't that powerful. I can at least leave some traces."

"It's just...it's like all the energy has been absorbed..."

All the energy is absorbed?

The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. Elena's complaints were listened to by Li Ang.

Although it was different from what was planned, Li Ang did see Elena's Origin Stone skills.

Just from the gorgeous light and shadow effects, one can tell that the two sisters' Originium skills come from the same source.

Of course, like her sister Xingji, Elena's Origin Stone skills were also 'borrowed'. After observing their Origin Stone skills, Li Ang also discovered some clues.

Under the complex shell of astrological spells, hidden is a spell that only has the effects of 'guidance' and 'positioning'. However, this spell is different from the modern theory system of Originium technology. It is based on the sky. Using the moon as the reference point, the supposed simple spells were messed up, but it was more similar to Sakaz's 'witchcraft'.

Well, it certainly fits the stereotype of 'astrological magic'.

Regardless of the source of the Ubika sisters' spells, if we only talk about the actual effects, Elena's attack power is indeed second to none among all Origin Stone skills. The only drawback may be that it consumes a lot of energy. If she outputs it with all her strength, Elena can't do it at all. Hold for a few seconds.

Even if Li Ang is not willing to block the beam released by Elena with all her strength, why is the mutant unscathed?

Maybe, as Elena said casually just now, all the energy was absorbed.

"It's good that you weren't hurt...but there's a question, how did you provoke those things?"

After making sure everyone was safe, ACE thought about this problem again.

ACE remembered it very clearly. When he and Huang first discovered the remains, they didn't react at all. It was after Elena screamed that the mutants suddenly became active. Elena must have done it. What wakes them up.

Hearing ACE's question, everyone looked at Elena in unison

"I...I don't know..."

Under the gaze of everyone, Elena looked very innocent, "I just thought it was too dark there and wanted to use magic to illuminate the surroundings."

Everything was just as Elena said. She simply used her magic to create a light source. Before Elena could do anything, a corpse suddenly stood up at her feet, scaring Elena. Screaming uncontrollably.

They all know what happened next.

"Used Origin Stone skills...and then awakened those things?"

ACE pinched his chin and said doubtfully, "But if I remember correctly, at that time, knight, you should still have the Origin Stone skills exerted by Xingji, right? Why didn't you react to this?"

In terms of spell types, the two sisters' Origin Stone skills come from the same source, but they have different focuses.

In terms of energy intensity, there is not much difference between the self-circulating shield and the light source used for lighting.

Why was it Elena who awakened those mutants?

"I think... maybe it's me?"

Li Ang thought for a moment and expressed his guess, "If those experimental subjects only reacted to astrological spells, maybe it was because my Origin Stone skills covered up the relevant characteristics? I had always maintained my Origin Stone skills at that time. "

The facts are partially different from what Li Ang said, but the gap is not big.

At that time, he was just studying what was special about the [Constellation Guardian] on his body. Perhaps it was this move that prevented those mutants from being awakened.

"Why do our family's spells awaken these strange things!" Elena snorted and said angrily.

Although Elena is not very interested in the spells passed down in her family, she does not want astrological spells to be related to these weird things.

What Elena didn't notice was that her sister didn't look angry at all when she heard ACE's guess.

Xingji frowned instead, as if he remembered something.

"Sorry, sorry, I just made a random guess. If you think about it carefully, you will know that there are many loopholes."

The most obvious one is Viviana. She also maintains a magic shield throughout the whole process. The Origin Stone energy in her body reacts much better than others, and there is no special reaction.

All in all, the explanation that ACE came up with is obviously unreliable.

"Doctor, what should we do next? Should we go back and repair it first, or should we try to draw those things out?" ACE asked.

"Try again...wait, let me think about it carefully."

Glancing at Li Ang and seeing that he had no intention of speaking, Warfarin raised her hand to tell others to keep quiet and give herself some time to think.

Everyone is in good condition, and there is still a lot of time left in the protective clothing, which can fully support the second attempt.

Only Elena is a little tired now because she squandered all her energy.

But if she didn't use the Origin Stone skills, Elena would have no problem.

"Elena, how do you feel? Can you still hold on?"

Taking a deep breath, Elena replied, "I have no problem, but a spell as powerful as just now probably won't be used in a short time."

"There shouldn't be any need." Warfarin replied casually.

Since it has been proven that Elena's Origin Stone skills are ineffective, there is no need for her to expend such effort.

If there is another time to use Elena, it would probably be to use her as bait to see if she can lure out those monsters.

Although ACE denied his speculation, Warfarin did not think so.

After all, you have to give it a try. It's best if you succeed. If you fail, there is no loss.

With a rough plan in mind, Warfarin said to Provence, "Provence, I remember you collected some samples of that kind of black algae before? Let me take a look."

The most important thing now is to figure out how to deal with those mutants.

In the previous battle, Warfarin had not taken action, but carefully observed the mutants.

The blood demon's spells have very terrifying lethality against living bodies. The physiological structure of most living bodies is very fragile, and a small amount of damage is enough to be fatal.

But facing inorganic objects such as steel and rocks, she was a little blind. Warfarin could not detect any life breath on those mutants. Even if she didn't try, she knew that the blood demon's spell would definitely have no effect.
