Chapter 39: The War (2)

The blazing white beam that erupted from the small ion cannon easily pierced the ground creatures in front of it.

The youkai who didn't even scream, and the head disappeared without even screaming was already going to the Netherworld--of course, this only existed if his soul could float across the universe and from the moon to the earth.

Seeing the death of this enemy, he moved the muzzle of the cannon down slightly. In order to prevent the weapon itself from being damaged due to energy overload caused by excessive bursts, it is necessary to allow the ion cannon to rest for a short time.

The smell of burnt corpses in the air...... He couldn't smell it at all. Because the armor itself completely isolates the outside air, oxygen is provided by the armor (in fact, the lung capacity of the people of the moon is also different from that of normal people, and if it is necessary to hold their breath for a long time, it will not affect high-intensity exercise).

Although the armor on the body is only a general-purpose weapon, it is also a general-purpose weapon with the highest strength level. Crafted from spiritual metals and nanomaterials, the smooth surface absorbs external kinetic, heat, light, and radiant energy, and serves as a backup energy source for energy storage in the armor itself. The defensiveness is also extraordinarily good...... In fact, the absorption of energy is enough to greatly enhance the defense of this armor, but in addition, those people from the Science and Technology Research Institute seem to be not enough to equip the armor with protective functions such as spiritual power fields and proton shields.

It's not that it's incomprehensible...... After all, the population of Yuedu is not large, and when resources are not scarce, the survival rate is naturally the first consideration.

However, it would be wrong to think that this set of armor is only defensive, in addition to outstanding defensiveness, the armor can further strengthen the physical ability of the Yuedu people themselves, recovery ability, and the existence of microcomputers can allow soldiers to quickly understand the information on the field and make efficient contact...... And that's not all, there are also functions that are unnecessary in the eyes of the Moon Capital Warriors themselves.

To be honest, with this kind of almost perfect armament, although they have never been on a real battlefield, the confidence of the Yuedu warriors in victory has always been as solid as a rock.

And what is happening now proves that their faith is not blind. Face this group of invaders coming from the ground...... They are, indeed, invincible.

Of course...... This is also because the people of Yuedu have a sense of mission to protect their homeland, so they burst out with the momentum of not losing to the monsters, presumably there is such a reason.

「……」

Wordlessly, the ion cannon was lifted again, and the warrior looked for the next target.

Since there were so many enemies on your side, you found your target almost immediately.

However, when he saw the appearance of his enemy, he couldn't help but be stunned.

It's not because of the appearance, although the black armor worn by the other party is obviously different in style from other ground creatures, but this is not what makes the warrior stunned.

The armored microcomputer sounded an alarm for detecting psionic abilities that exceeded the danger standard...... That's what stunned the warriors. I originally wanted to find a random trash fish, but I didn't expect that what appeared in front of me was a giant orca, and that contrast was enough to make most people stunned.

――But for the cross-border who did not rush forward with the army, but stayed in a relatively backward position, the figure of the Yuedu people in front of him suddenly came to a significant stagnation in an instant, which surprised him.

Is it because his appearance is too terrifying? But it shouldn't be.

He doesn't quite understand it, and it seems that he doesn't have much self-awareness of his appearance. The black knight's armor, which seemed to be unable to illuminate even the light, already had an extraordinary power, coupled with the blue fire burning in the eye sockets...... Its appearance, just standing upright, gives people a lot of pressure.

What's more, compared to usual, at this moment, the dark fluctuations around him were spreading unreservedly to the surrounding area for nearly a hundred meters, emitting bursts of dark demonic light, which was powerful enough to manifest in the material realm, and was called the power of death aura by crossing the boundary.

Living creatures will continue to weaken and die under the erosion of this aura, and the dead corpses will be transformed into undead minions, which can be called a sharp weapon against miscellaneous soldiers.

"Strange ......"

The voice coming from under the helmet was undoubtedly dull, but it didn't stop others from hearing the speaker's confusion.

The erosion of life by the aura of death is uninterrupted, and within the range, whether it is the enemy or the enemy, as long as it is the living, it will be attacked together, although it is not quite worthy of those monsters, it is still released without reservation.

It's weird to cross the line...... Why was the Moon Capital warrior in front of him unscathed? The flame of its life has no tendency to weaken, and is still burning vigorously.

It's also a powerful lich who has lived for nearly a thousand years, and he quickly realized the reason.

A near-transparent psionic field appeared on the armor of the Yuedu warrior, completely blocking his aura.

Interesting......

At the same time as crossing the line and sighing in his heart, the warrior on the opposite side acted.

The lightweight ion cannon unleashes devastating high-temperature rays at the lich, and even tungsten can melt in an instant, and is sure to kill the enemies in front of it...... Is it?

The speed of a beam of directional energy, although not as fast as the speed of light, is certainly far above the speed of sound. It doesn't seem too late to cast a protective spell right now, but for transgression, even if he doesn't do anything, it doesn't mean he's defenseless.

It should be said that the idea that a sorcerer who has mastered spells will go into battle without preparing in advance is a real joke.

In the face of the invincible ion cannon of other youkai, it could not play any role in transgressing the boundary, and the white light containing a huge amount of heat energy could not go further than half a meter in front of the lich. The space in front of him caused inexplicable ripples, but of course this was only a visual fallacy. The essence of this is the visual effect of the Lich distorting the air caused by the collision of the protective force field that will be activated once it enters the combat state and the beam.

The beam continued, but it couldn't even break through the first layer of defense. I have to say it's sad.

The Mooncapital Warrior's ion cannon can continuously spray energy beams, but a long activation will cause the weapon to be overdepleted and forced to sleep - of course, this duration is considerable...... Not short.

But that doesn't mean anything at all, and if you can't break through the upper limit of the force field, even if it takes ten times more time, don't think about hurting the line in the slightest.

"It's kind of interesting, though...... But it seems that there is no end to it. In that case, let me die."

There was no emotion in his words, as if he was in front of an insignificant fly, and his movements were as simple as swatting flies...... Just raised his right hand.

With the dark purple light quietly blooming between his right hand, the deadly spell has been activated.

"Hmm! Ahh

The warrior screamed. Although his expression could not be seen clearly due to the armor of his body, it was not difficult to imagine the pain he suffered from the terrible wail.

No one can remain indifferent after the internal organs in the body have been stirred up...... Except for the dead.

High necromantic spells, ** internal organs. Other spells that necromancers require considerable preparation to cast, and lichs can even use with just one consciousness.

On the battlefield of the stormy and bloody wind, there is certainly nothing special about this tragic cry. I don't know if it was lucky or miserable, but the screams of the warriors soon ended because the fire of life was extinguished.

His suffering did not last long...... If that's what you think, you're lucky. But this kind of luck does not give any consolation.

The methods of killing people who crossed the line were brutal, but as a lich, he didn't care.

He, who has only existed so far based on the death of countless lives, still cares whether the methods used against an enemy are cruel or not?

If you think he will...... That's too much to underestimate him.

Once upon a time, when he was still a human being, he would have expressed his disgust with his current self. However, from the moment he learned that there was a limit to what he could know in the short time that a human being, he was determined to transcend the boundaries of humanity.

That being the case, the so-called humanity is nothing more than something that can be discarded.

If I had to say it, it was a bit of a surprise.

The internal organs of the Yuedu people...... Much tougher than expected, and from what we know so far, it seems that this race is very good in terms of physique and intelligence.

It's a pity that it seems that because of the environment, the aggression is not strong, and it is somewhat peaceful.

But...... The superiority of the race itself is beyond doubt. And that also means ...... The strongest of them will also be particularly strong. Because the basic level of the race can already be seen to some extent.

Thinking of this, I was even happier when I crossed the line.

Not even having the mood to look at the corpse that had fallen to the ground, he turned his gaze in another direction.

-- Rather than dealing with these miscellaneous soldiers who are not called enemies and can only be regarded as stumbling blocks, the lich is more interested in watching the strong fight.

It's beautiful because it's strong, and it's watching such souls collide and die with each other...... It's much better than the boring slaughter of the weak.

Although he doesn't care about the methods of killing, he has little interest in meaningless killing.

"Come on...... Great monsters, fight to your heart's content...... I'll see your death here with my own eyes."

With the longing for the state of death, he whispered.
