Volume 1 The Lost Wings Chapter 1 XV
Above deck, Angelus slowly stretched out his wings behind him. At his feet, a complex silver-white magic array could be faintly seen.
[Very beautiful wings...... Isha admired softly, and her voice revealed the exclamation of "I seem to touch it". But then her exclamation turned into self-talk, "Ah! No way! No way! Can't think about this now, there are more important things! 】
Angelus's spiritual realm was filled with all kinds of thoughts from Isa, which immediately made him smile bitterly for a while.
[Ah, it's okay, it's okay, don't care......] Isa's voice paused slightly, and when she spoke again, it had changed to a cold female voice, [...... The wound treatment of the left upper limb was completed, and the blood loss was 12%. The synchronization rate is stable at 97 percent. More than 60% of the energy reserves are in good condition. Inspections of all Vidamir forces are now underway, with an estimated time of twenty-three seconds......]
"Isa?"
The little girl's sudden turn made Angelus stunned.
Yes, my lord. Please call me Atropos at the time of the deed. 】
The cold voice in his mind was slightly astringent, and there was a faint hint of Isa's dragging tone when she spoke.
(…… Is it a personality switch? )
[No! It's just that a fight is about to start,] The cold voice returned to its usual coquettish tone, [Be a little serious, cooperate with you.] 】
(…… All right. Atropos, priority access to the information in the communication bracelet. Angelus raised his left hand slightly, signaling Atropos to pay attention to the communication bracelet on the back of his hand, (adjusting the communication frequency and identifying signals.) Rescue signals are posted on the universal channel. )
[Understand.] The communication bracelet is Sigma Zero Seven, owned by Safir Angelus...... If you retrieve the Valhasa Sky Knight Intelligence System, do you log in immediately and use it as a common battle information? 】
(Log in now.) Immediately upon completion, an air scan of the enemy ship will be conducted. Closely monitor the movements of enemy ships. )
Angelus noticed that the pirate floats stopped their sporadic shelling as soon as they spotted their presence on deck. Although I don't know what the reason is, the current situation is that if you can delay for a moment, you can delay for a moment longer, and buy time for the rescue force. And the time he gained would also allow him to familiarize himself with his new wings.
Humanoid wings are different from normal standard wings. The standard wings can only passively accept the orders of the Xiangshi and implement them meticulously. The humanoid wings, on the other hand, turn passive into active, and can choose a response plan according to the current situation without the need for Shoshi's order. Therefore, the coordination between Shoshi and the humanoid wings is particularly important.
Angelus moved slightly, his wings flapping lightly to prop himself up. He then cautiously made a small maneuver to evade, trying to master Atropos' progression pattern. However, this maneuver is completely out of shape. Others seemed to be just slowly turning sideways and flipping over. But it was such a simple action, but it almost made Angelus flash to his waist.
[It's pretty good to be able to do this level of the first deed......]
If you can avoid the attack with such an action, then the guy who attacked is definitely blind!
(…… Is the Vidamir armed inspection over? )
In the absence of mobility, Angelus could only pin his hopes on the Vidamir forces.
[It's over.] Atropos's voice paused slightly, and then a void screen appeared in front of Angelus's eyes. The screen is densely packed with data and intelligence, and the first, second, and fourth armaments can be activated at any time. The third armament is temporarily unusable due to insufficient energy reserves...... Alert! Check out that there is a large amount of energy gathering in the bow of the enemy ship! 】
“…… Second Heavy Armament! No! Large Energy Field Shield! Fast! ”
【Yes!】 】
……
The thickest armor in the center of the bow of the Air Pirate Float slowly unfolded to the left and right, revealing the core that had been protecting all along—the main gun, and it was a battleship-class main gun—that should never have appeared on this cruiser-sized floating ship!
As the injected energy continued to increase, the scene around the muzzle gradually distorted slightly, and dots of red particles continued to splash out from the depths of the barrel. The next moment, the pitch-black muzzle lit up, and the dazzling red instantly engulfed everything around.
- It's over!
All those who noticed the red light closed their eyes tightly, desperately waiting for death to come.
Hit by a battleship-class main gun at a distance of less than five thousand meters, even a large battleship equipped with a high-power deflection force field is bound to be hit hard, not to mention a cruise ship like the Jewel Princess, which can easily blow a big hole in the hull of a normal cannonball.
One-second, two-second, three-second......
- What's going on?
The expected explosions and suffocating heat waves did not come.
The passengers on the life-saving barge looked up blankly. The spectacle that appeared in front of them suddenly made all of them open their mouths in surprise: the dazzling red fierce light emitted a brighter brilliance than the sun, making it impossible to look up. And in the center of the most turbulent red light, a small but impossible to ignore figure was proudly fighting against the fierce red light.
The white light feathers scattered one after another, and the six-winged angel was undoubtedly like a savior in the eyes of the passengers at this moment.
……
(Atropos!) Is the energy shield ready? )
[Dressing! Five seconds to go! 4. ......]
(It's too late!) )
Angrus tiptoed to the ground and leapt from the deck. And as he leaped up, a gorgeous metal staff appeared in his hand.
【…… What do you want to do! …… 3. ......]
"Shield!" "Ancient Languages"
With a soft groan, countless intricate words emerged from the void at the tip of the staff. With the staff as the center, the brilliant magical aura spreads outward layer by layer like ripples. Invisible spiritual power wires swirled and intertwined in the air, densely turned, criss-crossed. The result is a perfect and massive six-pointed star array.
A fierce red light followed. The scorching brilliance slammed into the six-pointed star array like an invisible hammer.
"Humph!" Angelus clenched his teeth and gripped the metal staff in his hand.
The defensive power of the six-pointed star array is not weaker than that of the large energy force field shield, but the energy that supports it comes from the spiritual power of the caster himself!
【…… Hold on! It's going to be right away! …… 2. ......]
Atropos clearly felt that Angelus's mental power was being consumed at a terrifying rate, and his physical functions were beginning to fail due to the extreme loss of mental power.
At the same time, the lines of countless phase particles began with the wings behind Angelus's back, drawing an extremely complex outline along his body.
【…… One! Dress up complete! Defense Field Unfolds! 】
In a short moment, the blue and white colors instantly filled the outline composed of phase particles. The invisible armor seemed to be infused with infinite power, turning into a solid body in a dazzling blue-blue light. At that moment, the endless sea of clouds seemed to be dyed blue in the deepest part of the sea.
Although it only takes a thousandth of a second for Vidamir to become an entity. But that short moment seemed like a century to Angelus.
At the same time as the energy defense force field unfolded, the magic array maintained by spiritual power could no longer withstand the continuous impact, and with a crisp sound, it turned into countless fragments and disappeared into the air. The metal staff that Angrus was clutching in his hand broke into knots with a crisp sound.
[Heavy Armed Dress Complete.] Atropos' calm report, [The defensive force field output is stable, and the enemy's main gun is expected to last for nine seconds. 】
The defensive force field composed of phase particles constantly changes colors, and finally fixes in cyan blue.
"Whew...... Whew......" Angrus gasped, "ready to ...... Prepare to fight back...... Use the right fortress strategy cannon ......"
[Yes, to the fortress, the strategy cannon? Surprised, Atropos' voice stammered a little.
"Wait, wait for the enemy ship shelling to end immediately, immediately return fire!" Angelus didn't wait for his breath to calm down, and began to plan a counterattack.
[The enemy ship is just a cruiser, don't be so exaggerated......]
"Can the cruiser be equipped with a magic beam cannon?"
[Of course it can't be ......]
"So what are you waiting for? Get ready to fight back! ”
It lasted for another nine seconds before the red light gradually dimmed and thinned, and finally disappeared into the pitch-black muzzle.
【…… When the enemy ship's shelling ended, 78 percent of the defensive field was consumed, and it took 27 minutes and 35 seconds to recharge. The Infinite Speed Magic Beam Cannon deploys, and the charge begins. Launch preparations, countdown begins ......]
