Chapter 1904: Chapter 593: Is It "Eternal Life" or "Resurrection"? (6k)
The dazzling gold expanded in front of his eyes, and at that moment, the tall, thin man inside the mecha felt as if he was witnessing his life’s final moments.
The gold turned into a micro nuclear explosion in front of the shield, instantly tearing apart the shield that was just for emergency use, with high heat and light released almost at zero distance from the mecha’s head.
The mecha, already flung into a corner, was again torn apart and flung away by immense force.
By the time the power of the Potion Magic ceased, the mecha had been embedded several floors down, most of its armor shattered, with one hand and half a leg completely gone.
Even the head, the most defensively strong part, had more than half of its head armor blown away, exposing a mixture of brain and mechanical circuits inside.
The source that caused all this, Noxico, raised her gun, and the remaining magic power still surged in golden smoke from the muzzle.
"No wonder it’s a secret weapon. This mecha is quite resilient, it still shows life reactions."
After upgrading to Tier Three, bolstered by "Vampire" strength, her perception of life had reached a new level.
Not waiting for the smoke to clear, Noxico held the gun in one hand and pinched a potion with the fingers of the other, swiping it on the side of the "Water Gun", removing the potion vial embedded at the back, and smoothly inserting a new potion.
Penetration type Potion Magic, 4th Rank Potion·"Life Corrosion·VI Type"
The pitch-black magic transformed into a long spear, aimed at the life reaction sensed, piercing into the smoke.
Unlike the previous "Nuclear Explosion Potion," which possessed strong explosive power but was prone to be triggered incorrectly due to instability.
This time, the potion magic known as the "Corrosion Gun" possessed powerful penetration, even if the target was blocked by a wall or shield, the magic forcefully penetrated and focused all magic power on the surface of the penetrated object.
The pitch-black long spear tore through the smoke, even without aiming, the perception of life was enough to lock the position.
The tall, thin man inside the mecha couldn’t even clearly see, just felt his body being forcefully gouged by something, with nearly half his torso disappearing into thin air.
Watching as everything before him gradually virtualized, the tall, thin man knew this time he had truly fallen.
Despite possessing this Advanced mecha, theoretically capable of wiping out a normal squad led by a 4th Rank in combat power, he was thoroughly suppressed, not even having the chance to engage since the battle began.
"Empire...
Never thought that I, a dignified senior member of the ’Gray Gang,’ would fall here..."
Silently leaving his final words, the light before him completely darkened.
In the perception brought by Divine Arts, the life reaction within the smoke suddenly dropped significantly.
It was clearly already a candle in the wind, even if ignored, it would likely perish within ten or even a few seconds.
"The target has been severely damaged, preparing to execute the recovery operation."
Noxico said while simultaneously replacing the potion with the one just used.
The second shot of the corrosion spear pierced into the now thin smoke, the life breath that had barely lingered was snuffed out like a forcibly extinguished candle.
Noxico did not stop, immediately firing the third corrosion spear, ensuring the target’s death, before finally raising her gun.
"The target is completely dead, commencing the recovery operation."
A group of Low-tier believers didn’t even have the chance to engage, everything already concluded.
"Boss, leave some work for us, okay? Boss, with you taking out the target by yourself, we’re looking quite insignificant here..."
"Yeah, Boss, at least give us a symbolic few hits to skim some contribution..."
Though they were complaining, there wasn’t any real objection, all wearing playful expressions.
They knew well that this was actually the best outcome.
If victory could be secured through a surprise attack with long-range gunfire, it was better than enduring a large-scale battle.
This is combat, a small war; if there’s a chance to cover with firepower, who would opt for a life and death struggle?
As professional spies, their eyesight is sharp enough to tell that despite being partially destroyed, the mecha was powerful.
If the opponent exerted full force, they couldn’t withstand even the residual damage, resulting in sacrifice as the best outcome, with possibly only the boss surviving.
Even with the boss now confirmed thoroughly fallen, they dared not relax.
The group of believers cautiously advanced through the blast hole, approaching the mecha wreck.
After enduring two "Nuclear Explosion Potions" and being hit by two "Corrosion Spears", the mecha was now unrecognizable.
Half of its body disappeared entirely, with the remaining parts damaged to the point where recognizable identification of sections was barely possible.
The other believers raised their weapons in vigilance, one skilled at mechanical creation stepped forward to inspect carefully, gesturing to the surrounding teammates to lower their weapons.
"Mecha confirmed to have completely lost combat power, energy module offline, remaining intelligent modules still operated by backup power.
Heh, truly worthy of an Advanced Mecha, this kind of distributed energy storage, I’ve only seen in the Empire’s Advanced Mechas.
It’s reportedly very difficult to create, something only Middle Tier Mechanical Masters can grasp, allowing machinery to continue running even after the power core is destroyed!"
The inspecting believer excitedly shared.
"I had only heard about this technology before, and only recently obtained the knowledge from the Church to realize it’s actually that structure!"
