131 Battle Royale Part 4 (1/2)

'Its not a Magic Jammer.'

Wallace said in his mind. His Divine Sense had been working non-stop since the start of the competition and only detected the Lamat Stone in three automatons and those were from the gorilla-like automatons.

Althoughh it hasn't been utilized yet, those three Helioses would surely use it when the time is ripe.

Wallace didn't explain it to his teammates because in a sense, the magic that the opponent used was also a spell that could disrupt a magic.

The Lamat Stone's uniqueness comes from it's natural elements that disturbs the compound formation of Mana.

Any form of Mana that was being controlled by a Mana Practitioner or Magician would have special characteristics that originates from the caster. This special characteristics was the one holding the compound Mana to form the Magic Spell and also the one being forcefully disturb by the Lamat Stone causing any Magic Spell to scatter and be a formless natural Mana that can be found in this world.

The first Magic Jammer was created by the Dasovich Royal Family from the Maja Country during a struggle of power against the Guwain Freedom Alliance. They used them as a trump card although it was imperfect.

Now, with the progress of Mana Study, improvement of Magic Jammer's Structure was being studied as well as creation of similar Magic Spells with the same effects were also being researched by the professionals. Of course, it would be weaker compared to those using a Lamat Stone as a base.

The magic spell that the Fabled Atom used was similar to Mana Burst that aims to disrupt the magician's concentration of mana. In this case, instead of targeting human physiology to interrupt magic casting and stop the mana flow, it targeted the automaton's power source, the Mana Stone.

Although it only stops the Mana Flow for a second, it was enough for the Fabled Atom to gain a relevant advantage over it's opponent. Looking at it, the Vital Thorn hurriedly distanced itself to it's opponents as first reaction when receiving significant damage. The Fabled Atom surprisingly stand down as well and it didn't follow the injured Vital Thorn until 5 seconds had passed.

”Delay? It seems that your opponent couldn't use that continuously... If it is, your Vital Thorn wouldn't last this long or actually, no one would be able to defeat it.”

”That's right. Even though it will be tougher with a missing arm. My Vital Thorn haven't used it's killer move yet.” Sheryl said not losing hope in her current predicament.

'Disrupting the power source. Thats a good method of fighting against another automaton. Luckily, I don't have to worry about it.'

In this case, only Wallace had a backup power source as he possess Compact Mananuclear Reactor.

Wallace then turned his sight at the five automatons battling within the boulders field.

The three automatons from Montego's team against Fabled Ambush and Winged Shadow Serpent.

'Wait... So they really planned this far?' Wallace was surprised about the capability of the three similar automatons.

After the third Hellos arrived at the field and fought a bit with the Fabled Ambush. They surprisingly retreated away and waited for the Winged Shadow Serpent.

Fabled Ambush decided to have a wait-and-see approach as it probably calculated that fighting those three head-on was just a suicide. It didn't rush forward and look for a fight. The same goes for the Winged Shadow Serpent that was probably calculating it's chances of winning. After all, it had been trying to communicate with it's other teammates but was unable to. With the wings on it's back, it could escape if necessary and probably decide to look for it's teammates.

As the three Helioses retreated, Wallace then saw that an amazing connection between the three has occurred.

They formed a triangular formation and moved to surround the Winged Shadow Serpent!

”This... Why did they choose to ignore the Fabled Ambush?” Nina muttered as she noticed the decision that the three automatons made.

”That's a good question. I wonder why... unless they detected that this flying serpent could escape through air and this Fabled Ambush can easily be dealt with on the ground later on?”

”Well, if you say it like that then it make sense. But if it tries flying now and escape the formation then nothing would change. Also, one possible reason they chose this serpent was because they detected that it was probably weaker.” The two announcers could only guess.

Although it happened so fast, the automaton that was in the center of formation hadn't detected any danger from the three yet. This automaton was graded 7 and the Helios was only 5 so it surely has capability and wouldn't easily be defeated.

This time, the three automatons did something which made even Wallace surprised. A red light came from a single Helios, then it became like a thread that connected to the second Helios then connected to the third and from this third Helios, the red light then connected to the first Helios. It formed triangular red light having the Winged Shadow Serpent at its center.

It may have detected danger as the automaton tried to attack one of the Helios.
