Chapter 414: Operation Moonfall (3) (1/2)

”Monster, let me break that!” Erin who's fiddling on the controls of her Ultimate Metagen shouted when we were met with a thick Energy Barrier upon reaching the entrance of the domed structure where the Portal was located.

From how thick it was, it felt like it wouldn't easily break using a Rank 1 Transcendent's attack. Moreover, it's probably regenerating as well considering I could feel some ground regenium mixed in it.

Looking closely, the Energy Barrier wasn't from a Formation that made use of Energy Stones to be activated and powered up. This one was made from a similar kind of technology the World of Meta denizens possessed which made use of the regenium's properties.

Compared to an Energy Stone which contained raw Source Energy, Regenium was not only a conductor of Energy but also an amplifier. That's the reason why the Metagens and Powergens could increase the Energy Output.

This Energy Barrier they put up was clever in a way. Compared to a Formation, it could repair itself faster because of the regenium.

However, they probably forgot or they really didn't know that there were two people that could easily break down a Barrier as long as it's not too strong.

The keywords were 'Energy' and 'Barrier'.

For the word Energy, there's none other than me. If I exercised my Energy Manipulation and focused my Nullification Zone on one point, I could drill a hole through this thick Energy Barrier.

And for the word Barrier, my wife who's the menace of every type of defense could weaken this. If a target was this stationary, she could also exercise the true prowess of her Ability. Moreover, Nysia had already started treading her Transcendent Pathway.

Although it was just the 1st realm, her ability was enhanced to a certain degree.

Right. Her Transcendent Pathway involved her assimilating Elemental-type properties. Apparently, the reason why she could create those Ruin Golems in her domain was because of that. She's starting to sense that it was easy for her to control metals, ores or even the earth. If I'm not wrong then she was becoming more sensitive to the Earth Element.

”Stay here with me, Erin. We have an expert to take that down... Besides, we had something to take care of. These bugs finally crawled out of their holes.”

From behind us, at least ten Ultimate Darkgens suddenly appeared and in their hand was a piece of equipment which raised another thick Energy Barrier which made use of regenium's properties, enclosing us in between two Energy Barriers.

Like I thought before coming here, they set that up as bait for us. Well, it's not like we didn't come here knowing that they would ambush us.

”Nysia, I'll leave the barrier to you. And Erin, don't kill any of them, we're going to lure everyone and… I had something that could rid us of these pests.”

With the two women nodding their agreements, they instantly moved even before one of the Darkbugs leading the enemies could start his monologue.

Nysia controlled her Sanguine Aegis to arrive in front of the Energy Barrier leading to the Portal. Not minding the newcomers, she completely activated her Ability and channeled it to her prized weapon. Coupled with the Bluntforce covering it, the Sanguine Aegis lifted its arms and smashed down on the thick Energy Barrier.

BOOM!

With a deafening noise, splinters of small pieces of regenium were instantly blown away as a glaring dent was made on that thick Energy Barrier.

At the same time as that, Erin clumsily controlled the Black Mist as she flew towards the middle. Along with the appearance of her Shadow Clones, she activated one of the Black Mist's abilities.

Suddenly, a huge patch of darkness spread out from beneath the Ultimate Metagen's feet…

Because they thought we were caught in their ambush, the ten Ultimate Dakrgens failed to jump out of the darkness' way, resulting in them being engulfed in it.

If I could recall correctly, that ability could restrict one's sense of sight. And that included the sight of a Darkgen and Metagen.

Although it was weak when I was the one using it, with Erin's Shadow Manipulation, it was enhanced to another level that if not for my Energy Senses, I would've lost sight of the ten Darkgens inside that Darkness.

”Surprised? You're now su--! Huh? Wait!” From being smug for the fact that we ended up trapped between barriers, that one guy who was about to gawk at us was immediately baffled at the sudden change.

Inside that darkness, the ten of them became blind that they started crashing against each other.

Of course, if it was only Erin's ability, they would be able to break out of it in seconds. However, the Domain of Valor and my Energy Linkage was instantly activated as soon as I sensed their Energy Signature while they crawled out from behind that domed structure where they were hiding.

Because of that, Erin got the chance to restrict all ten of them at once.

”Monster, watch me take them down.” As if she's afraid that I would forget her contribution, Erin kept on reminding me about it. For sure, she'll ask me to praise her later and I will naturally do it for her.

Even if she's still unfamiliar with the complex control of an Ultimate Metagen, Erin plunged inside that patch of darkness alongside her Shadow Clones which completely blended in it.

Boom! Crash! Boom!

In a matter of seconds, pieces of the Darkgens started flying out of that patch of darkness.
