Volume 1 - The Leaf in the Wind and the Wandering Man Chapter 36 - The Wizard Mechanic
The whole clubhouse was in shambles. Even the dullest of men knew something was wrong, first a flurry of gunshots, then this loud bang, all hinting at the approaching danger. Naked men and women scrambled to the exit, and for every second of delay, the probability of danger was greater.
But Samuel knew he couldn't escape, whether it was the five guards gunners or the heavy combat structure creature in front of him, although unidentified, it was obvious that he was coming for him.
With the continuous development of magic technology, the performance of combat structures has continued to improve, and now, an active heavy combat structure is no match for a high-level professional.
Samuel immediately recognized the model of the combat structure in front of him, which was an MT-5 "Executor", which was Carlin's active workhorse heavy combat structure. Although the Executioner II has already begun to be installed, only the 2nd Armored Infantry Division is currently equipped with this model, and it will take several years before it can be used throughout the army. Although the "Executor II" has entered service, the performance of the MT-5 is definitely not backward from the current point of view.
The Executioner, who missed the blow, slowly retracted his arms, and with the roar of the internal gears of the Mechanical Division, the Executioner turned his head and looked at Samuel with a single eye that shimmered with a scarlet light. In the dark night, this red light is indeed quite terrifying, and those who have not been in battle are likely to collapse to the ground in fright in the face of such a metal giant. Samuel remembers the first time he faced an enemy heavy construct on the battlefield, his legs went limp.
But Samuel wasn't a rookie after all.
After dodging the Executor's first blow, he was already casting a spell chant and was about to complete the spell in his hand.
The executioners were designed with protection in mind. The main parts are made of a large number of rare magic materials when they are manufactured, and they have extremely high spell resistance, and after the overall assembly is completed, the engineers have added a large number of protective magic circles to the main circle of the construct body, which further strengthens the spell resistance. As a result, even a spell cast by a high-ranking mage has a high chance of being resisted by the executor.
Thanks to the magic refining circle carved some time ago and the strength of his spiritual power far beyond that of mages of the same level, Samuel's spell penetration ability far exceeds that of his colleagues, but even so he does not dare to hold it up at all, at this critical juncture, as long as a spell is resisted, what awaits Samuel is likely to be death.
So he forwent all high-damage spells in favor of Force spells that were less powerful and had higher piercing power. At this moment, three Force javelins hovered above Samuel and shot straight at the executioner's scarlet single eye. The Executor was not sapient, but the Mechanic who was wielding him was experienced, and he immediately commanded the Executor to raise his left arm in front of him. The three javelins struck the executor's left arm, which immediately exploded, and the magic pattern on the left arm immediately lit up, doing everything in his power to protect the executor from injury.
However, to the surprise of the Mechanic, the Force Spear directly penetrated the Executor's spell resistance, and the Executor was unable to rely on his own strong spell resistance to avoid this spell, and could only resist this damage with his own structure. Fortunately, the Force spear was not very powerful in the first place, and the executioner was only slightly damaged. But at this moment, the Executioner's eyes were blocked by his left arm, causing it to lose its vision for that moment, and when it finally recovered, it found that Samuel had disappeared from sight.
Samuel, who didn't intend to fight the other party, had already gone deep into the building at this moment.
The Mechanic sneered, this executioner had already been modified and equipped with a large number of detection units, and optical detection was only one of the means, he immediately activated a detection array with a lot of energy and high price, and immediately discovered Samuel's exact location, and he immediately commanded the executioner, aiming at the right front is a punch. After a loud bang, the small building, which had only collapsed a corner, was now more than a third of the way down, and a large number of rooms were exposed, and Samuel reappeared in the field of vision of the executor, who had dodged the terrible punch, and looked a little embarrassed at the moment.
The Mechanic immediately ordered the executioner to raise his fist and strike a second punch.
At this moment, Samuel raised his staff and pointed at it, and a pale white serve struck the knee of the executioner's right leg, and the mechanic found that one of the driving circles on the knee had failed, and the right leg had lost power. Executioners immediately tended to lose their balance. The Wizard was shocked, he knew that Samuel was unleashing a "spell release" that could disarm the opponent's spell or circle. However, the executioner was able to disarm the circle inside him under the heavy protection, and the mage's spell penetration ability was simply terrifying.
But he is not good at stubble, the vigorous magic power surged around him, and then injected into the executor who was about to lose his balance, and the circle that had failed in the right leg knee immediately reactivated, and the executor regained his balance at the last moment, avoiding the fate of falling. The fist that had already been raised slammed into Samuel.
The magic is rekindled!
One of the most terrifying abilities of the Mechanic is that it can quickly repair the circle of damaged constructed creatures on the battlefield, allowing the constructed creatures to quickly regain their combat effectiveness.
Fortunately, the repair was delayed for a second, and Samuel rolled over, but he could get the fatal punch, and then immediately fled into the interior of the building.
The same trick was actually played twice, and the magician smiled disdainfully, and although Samuel disappeared from the Executor's vision again, the Executor's Detection Circle still gave Samuel exactly where he was at the moment.
The Mechanic ordered the terrifying constructed creature to lift the ceiling that blocked the view, thwarting Samuel's attempt to block its view with the building.
Then, he saw one shrouded in black mist...... Octopus?
What is this?
Through the eyes of the Executor, the Mechanic saw the strange creature he had never seen before, and the creature slowly raised its head and met the Executor's eye with its massive single eye.
The instincts cultivated over the years made the Mechanic feel a little uneasy, and he immediately caused the Executor to take a step back.
It was too late, the strange octopus suddenly stretched out a tentacle and flew towards the executor, the tentacle continued to extend in the air, and the tentacle that didn't look long just now was actually ten meters or so at the moment, and before the geculturist could react, it pierced into the executor's chest - there was the cab of the magmaulian, and the back of the cab was the core crystal of the executor. The Executor's heavy armor was like papier-mâché in front of the tentacle, which flew easily into the Executioner's chest, piercing through the entire chest before peeking through the back.
After the cab and power room were pierced by the tentacles, the constructed creature immediately lost all power, the scarlet glow in its eyes gradually extinguished, and the roaring sound of gears in its body gradually stopped.
The executioner leaned forward slightly, then fell heavily to the ground, smashing several rooms.
Seeing this scene, the strange mechanic in the distance felt that his back was cold, and his close-fitting clothes were already soaked with cold sweat.
For safety reasons, he did not stay in the Executioner's cab, but remotely controlled the Executioner from a distance. It turned out to be a wise decision, otherwise he would have died by now.
What the hell is that terrifying tentacle creature?!A single blow penetrates an Executor who is superior in both physical and magical protection!
Wait, now is not the time to think about this......
The gunners who first approached Samuel have lost contact, and they have just lost their constructs, and their combat effectiveness has been greatly reduced, and the mission has completely failed so far. If you continue to stay here, the consequences will be unimaginable if you are discovered, so you must get out of here as soon as possible!
The Mechanic was about to take out the communication crystal to inform the other comrades involved in the operation to evacuate immediately, but suddenly felt an itch in his neck, and he turned his head to see the strange black frog lying on his shoulder, licking his neck with his tongue......
