Chapter 499: Stalemate! Strong Enemy Returns! (2/2)
Merlin’s flashy performance made him imagine the scene of thousands of metal war avatars going into war. There would definitely be various kinds of artifacts shooting around. Apart from combat specialized war avatars, there would also be war avatars like Merlin walking amongst the sea of metal, fixing allies or restraining opponent’s metal war avatars.
Such a scene would definitely be thrilling, a real epic scene! However, the current artificer craft and Corps size had deteriorated to the point it could not in the slightest compare with the Era of the War with Dragons. Too many ancient kingdoms, populations and resources were lost during that era. Such an epic level battle would be almost impossible to reenact.
“What is it doing now!?”
While Ayrin was lost in thought, some Viper Corps arcane masters began shouting again.
Another Mountain Cleaving Titan began to move.
That Titan used its huge shield to topple the last few Castle Destroyers. Then, it used its shield like a shovel and moved most of the metal scraps to the huge tower where Ayrin was.
“Merlin, what are you doing?”
Ayrin could not understand it either.
However, Merlin began working like a busy worker ant.
She quickly dragged chunks of metal into the huge tower. Then, she attached the metal chunks to the interior of the huge tower. Afterwards, sparks scattered and she actually welded the pieces together!
Metal Fortress!
That metal clockwork war avatar is actually using the wreckage to build a metal fortress within the stone tower!
Everyone understood what was happening.
“Incredible! Merlin, this huge tower can’t be demolished with this!” Ayrin’s eyes beamed.
“Inhuman!”
“Savage!”
“Bastard!”
“......”
The Viper Corps arcane masters cursed every profanity they could think of with bloodshot eyes.
“My order...... deploying an entire platoon of heavy weaponry...... was like transporting metal for the opponent to build a metal fortress instead......”
Tanry clenched his fist tighter and tighter. His entire body was crackling.
Ayrin saw Merlin signalling to him and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“They recovered?”
After following Merlin’s finger, he realized that the golden light rays wrapping around the metal had disappeared. The last Titan regained mobility.
Then, he watched Merlin making gestures to tell him not to waste the arcane energy the Titans had accumulated. He should let the Titans return to the bunker and slowly accumulate arcane energy again.
Boom!
A huge light pillar shot out from each Titan’s chest, the light spread out and wrapped around the enormous bodies of the Titans.
The moment the light pillar disappeared, the three Titans also disappeared.
“Alright.”
Ayrin stretched his body, “This kind of metal golem is too violent in a fight anyway. Let’s continue our original duels!”
“You mean you’re not violent......”
The three royal arcane masters glanced at one another and became speechless again.
“Are we sending another distress signal? Or do we force an attack?”
The Viper Corps arcane masters were waiting for Tanry’s order, but Tanry’s mind was blank.
Seeing that nobody stepped up, Ayrin heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Are you waiting for someone? Or do you just want to rest a little first? Why don’t we take a rest first? You Corps arcane masters aren’t friendly. You're too ruthless.”
“Bastard!”
The Viper Corps arcane masters had darkened expressions.
Who’s the ruthless one? Who’s the one constantly shouting to fight like a battle maniac?
Tanry took a deep breath.
He finally decided to send the distress signal again, then order a forced attack!
Even if it will cost me many casualties. Sending in dozens of Viper Corps arcane masters seems to be the only way to kill that monster!
Whoosh!
However, at that moment, a powerful presence which made Ayrin’s skin tingle descended.
A beautiful female arcane master shrouded in a chilling aura appeared.
Ayrin’s shouted in surprise, “Revealing clothes, improper looking...... loser, you come back? Huh? Why aren’t your clothes revealing this time?”
The powerful female arcane master was the bewitching Helgy who ran away from him before. However, Helgy was currently wearing a pale green priestess robe.
The current Helgy had even her slender white neck and arms covered by the collars and sleeves of the priestess robe. She did not look bewitching anymore, but looked holy and elegant.
Helgy coldly stared at Ayrin and spoke in a holistic manner, “What nonsense are you talking about? I have never seen you before.”
“What? You ran away to replenish your arcane particles. And now you pretend to not know me?”
Ayrin was dumbfounded.
“I even took this from you. Do you still not know me!?” He grudgingly took out an item.
“......”
Everyone was petrified.
They were two pieces of shell-shaped pink chest protector gems...... The delicate design and curves of the two gems, as well as the colorful strings attaching them, could make people fantasize about various things.
“I......”
Helgy’s beautiful face immediately twisted.
