As I was decimating this bastard's toy, he suddenly gets two tricks out of his metallic ass.
”Hmph… Not yet! Magic Barrier, Gamma Blade!”
Seriously?
He suddenly activates something within the mechanism of the mech, as the magic within the mana core battery within the chest area, which I was not able to blow away somehow, generated a semi-transparent bluish barrier around the mech, and alongside that, it suddenly generated a giant blade made of what seemed to be… plasma?!
He swung the blade around as all the projectiles I sent at him were destroyed in a second, while those that managed to slip through his attacks were blocked by the mana barrier.
”Haha! Let's see if you can fight against me now! Scared? Don't worry, I will not kill you! Merely slice your limbs and capture you!”
The bastard quickly rushed towards me, as Skadi was barely cracking a bit of its mana barrier!
That barrier is tough… However, it's draining the mana of the mech constantly, it won't last forever!
And it's not like I can't brute force my way through!
Or so, I would like to think, but with Benladann unconscious, I am a bit restrained in what I can do…
I flew around while firing projectiles of ice constantly to distract him, even creating large icebergs this time, and crashing against the mana barrier, but only leaving some cracks on it, while the powerful gamma blade seemed to be able to slice through anything…
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
”Hm… It is quite interesting how you can keep firing magic, do you have an endless source of mana like that one girl? No… It must be something like a large regeneration, or perhaps mana absorption from the environment?” wondered the man, relaxedly fighting against me as I gritted my teeth and flew around to evade his lashing attacks, however, he suddenly enhanced his propulsors and flew across a large distance in an instant, reaching to me and swinging his blade!
However, before it reached me, I quickly released a powerful breath attack against him, which the gamma blade wasn't able to simply slice, hitting the mech's mana barrier and throwing it into the skies for a few seconds!
BOOOM!
”What a troublesome breath attack… Dragons are true quite the pain to deal with!”
However, the mana barrier shielded the entire damage, and although it ended cracked and began to even shatter, it was still as strong as ever!
I have to charge my breath attack before releasing it for it to be strong enough, so I cannot constantly fire them.
SLASH!
Suddenly, the gamma blade almost got me, but I quickly evaded in time, although my left arm was cleanly sliced by it!
This blade is bad news! Its power is way above what my scales can withstand! It simply goes through anything like a hot knife through butter!
A river of blood gushes out of my large wound, as my arm falls over the ground, the man begins to laugh a bit.
”See? Gamma Blade can slice through anything! And your speed might be good, but my mech's speed is even better when using its Mana Engine!” said the man.
Mana Engine? Is this what this thing is using to fuel itself using the mana core battery?
I didn't want to show this bastard my ability, but I guess there's no option because my arm is already growing back!
”Oh?! Is that super regeneration?” he asked.
