Chapter: Chapter 391
By common sense, these golden chains bound to the mechanical body should not be able to hinder its movements, but these are not ordinary chains, but divine artifacts carrying the power of the gods!
The mysterious power surging from the chains interfered with the mechanical movements, causing it to inevitably enter a period of temporary stagnation.
A silver figure had already darted out from cover the moment the chains shot out. Her speed was only slightly slower than the chains, which were purely composed of energy. Less than half a second after the chains restrained the mechanical body, she stood in front of it, raising her sharp claws.
Extending a finger, she fiercely poked the middle part of the mechanical body.
The collision between flesh and steel ultimately resulted in flesh gaining victory. Even though the finger’s advancement speed was slow, Silver knew she had succeeded.
It only took six seconds for her to poke a small hole large enough to accommodate an ampoule with her finger.
Time ticked by, and the ampoule in her hand began to tremble restlessly. The recent violent movements seemed to have made it unable to suppress its inner violent desires; it wanted to explode, but that wooden stopper was still functioning, forcefully suppressing this ready-to-erupt volcano.
Faster, it needs to be faster!
A hint of seriousness appeared in Silver’s eyes. Gritting her teeth, she disregarded the pain from her fingertips and mobilized all the strength she could muster, pushing her finger a little further into the mechanical body.
This depth is enough!
In five seconds, Silver completed her mission.
One second faster than anticipated, the price was that the index finger of her left hand was now stained with blood. But this minor injury was nothing; for Silver, it was a completely bearable price.
She pushed the now-agitated ampoule into the small hole she had created and retreated to Leticia’s side with a speed even greater than her initial charge.
“Mission accomplished,” she said with a slight smile. “Now it’s up to your results.”
“I won’t disappoint you, my dear sister.” As there was still some time left, Leticia was a little worried that her specially made explosive wouldn’t be powerful enough, so she decided to add a little more punch to the upcoming explosion.
“Spell Vulnerability! Spell Vulnerability! Spell Vulnerability!”
Three consecutive dispelling magic spells were cast on the mechanical body, inevitably lowering its magic resistance. The upcoming explosion of the potion should be classified as magic damage.
After doing all this, Leticia quickly pulled Silver and hid in the nearby corridor. To be safe, she even led Silver several steps further inside.
Then, as if still not at ease, she erected a barrier in front of them.
“Is it necessary to be this cautious?” Silver asked, a little confused. Leticia’s action undoubtedly proved that she greatly feared the power of this explosion.
“It is necessary. The potions I mixed earlier were all very high-level, even having a certain effect on me. The power they can unleash when mixed together… is terrifying.” Leticia covered her ears. “It’s going to explode, cover your ears!”
Silver instinctively complied and, in the next moment, felt incredibly lucky for her action.
An extremely terrifying energy erupted from the mechanical body’s location. The accompanying deafening roar and tremor completely overwhelmed everything nearby. Brilliant flames surged from the end of the corridor, crashing against Leticia’s protective shield spell like waves hitting a dam.
“This power is truly frightening…” Silver muttered dazedly. She had some estimation of the ampoule’s destructive power, but she hadn’t imagined the explosion would be so terrifying.
Even the aftershocks of the explosion felt dangerous to her. Without Leticia’s shield, she would probably have turned into a pile of charcoal by now.
“Honestly, this is my first time doing this, and this power is a bit beyond my expectations.” Leticia’s throat moved; she also felt a sense of lingering fear at this outcome.
If she hadn’t instinctively chosen a conservative position, she might have been injured by her own attack.
The flames came and went quickly. After raging for about ten seconds, the brilliant flames, having lost their momentum, gradually died out, leaving behind a completely scorched corridor.
This place was completely destroyed, Leticia concluded. Fortunately, she wouldn’t have to pay for the repairs.
It seemed that there were no important departments on this lowest level, mostly just maze-like corridors with closed doors. However, knowing the structure of this floor, Leticia knew that there were many empty spaces within, almost certainly indicating the presence of many hidden secret rooms.
But that had nothing to do with her. Her only target was that elevator; she had no interest in anything else.
Stepping cautiously out of the corridor, Leticia immediately saw the fortress mechanical body that had turned into a pile of scrap metal. The terrifying rear explosion had directly torn apart its sturdy body; a single glance was enough to know that it had completely lost its combat capability.
Some of the shrapnel from the mechanical body was deeply embedded in the walls, enough to prove how terrifying the explosion had been.
And near the mechanical body, a metallic gleam caught Leticia’s attention. It didn’t belong to the fortress mechanical body blocking their way, but rather, to the color within the wall.
Even under such a terrifying explosion, this metal showed no change, which was truly curious. What material was this? What were they protecting?
“What’s wrong?” Silver, who had already passed the mechanical wreckage, called back to Leticia. “Did you find something?”
“No, I was just curious about what was behind these walls. Look at this metal, it hasn’t changed at all even after that powerful explosion. Whatever is inside must be very important, at least for humans.” Leticia pointed to the exposed metal plate and explained.
“But now is not the time to worry about these things. If there’s a chance later, we can come and investigate.” Although Silver was also a little curious about what was hidden within, she knew the importance of the current situation. This place wouldn’t run away. If they dealt with that thing that resembled a divine realm this time, wouldn’t it be like entering an empty realm later?
“I know, don’t rush. I’ll be over in a moment.” Leticia lightly flipped over the fortress mechanical wreckage that had almost completely blocked the corridor. If this thing weren’t so massive that it completely choked the corridor, she and Silver wouldn’t have had to fight this hunk of metal.
“I hope it’s not too late. God’s Throne, you guys better hold on!”
