523 An Outworldly Battle (1/2)
”F*ck it! Guess there's nothing left to do but fight!”
Jiang Fei could not run away. If he let this go on, 0541's barrier would break and the result would be utmost unpleasant.
”Come on then! Want to eat me? Over my dead body!” roared Jiang Fei. He armed the hoverboard and started to charge the High Energy Laser.
Bzzz!
A flash of red-purplish laser beam blasted out of the tip of the sword and straight at the Manta. That attack was currently Jiang Fei's strongest attack. Its firepower was the same as a peak of Level 4 Metahuman's full force attack. Theoretically, it should be able to cause some serious damage.
WHAM!
A direct hit. However, the outcome was not what Jiang Fei had expected. Instead of carving a hole in the Manta, the laser blast had only knocked the Void Manta aside. As the bubbles cleared, Jiang Fei could see a faint blue light glowing all around the Void Manata!
”The hell? A beast that can use barrier?”
”That is an intermediate Level 4 Alien beast. In underwater terrain, its fighting capability increases to Level 4 peak. Using barriers is only but natural to it!” said 0541.
The laser attack hit continuously as the highly compressed particle was not yet fully released. The laser had landed a direct hit on the barrier but as it was not fully destroyed, Jiang Fei dragged the sword to hit it again but the attacks ended. Alas, after chasing after the Void Manta, the laser had broken the barrier's protective layer and landed a direct hit on the Void Manta, creating a meter-wide hole in its chest cavity.
As expected of an Alien beast, the Void Manta was strong underwater but it was only at best an intermediate Level 4. It was powerful enough to erect a barrier but it was not able to withstand the direct attack of the laser.
A meter-wide hole in the chest of the Void Manta should have been lethal enough to kill 10-meter tall giant. However, being an alien species, the Void Manta had much stronger vitality. Even with such a lethal wound in its chest, it was still able to continue fighting.
Wooooo!
”What is that sound? I can't tell it's either loud or soft!” cried Jiang Fei as he could hear the Void Manta making some sort of noise underwater.
”It's echolocation. A low-frequency sound wave that bounces off objects and back to it.”
”Urgh… I can literally feel my eardrums vibrating like crazy!”
The Void Manta was crying in pain as it received the fatal wound. Its green eyes glared at Jiang Fei before it burst into a sudden speed toward Jiang Fei. Its eyes glowed green and shot a light beam that hit Jiang Fei.
Wzzz!
”What was that?” asked Jiang Fei. The Void Manta did not attack physically yet he could see his barrier pulsating violently as if it had just received an attack.
”An energy attack has been received. Barrier integrity: 75%! Recovery: thirty seconds!” 0541 immediately relayed a damage report to Jiang Fei.
”Sh*t! I can't even dodge that attack! It's too fast! Doesn't matter! Let's see how kills the other first!”
Jiang Fei started to panic as his strongest attack was in cooldown. It will need another five minutes of charging time before Jiang Fei could use it again. In the meantime, Jiang Fei could still use the Armor Piercing Cannon to fight.
”Target locked!” cried 0541 as Jiang Fei aimed the sword at the Void Manta.
BOOM!
The sword shot another beam of light and landed a direct hit on the Void Manta. The Void Manta's barrier had sustained too heavy damage and was disabled for a moment, allowing the Armor Piercing Cannon attack to land a direct hit on its body. When the attack hit, the barrier on the Void Manta that was still recovering completely failed at once.
”F*ck you! Come on!” roared Jiang Fei as he charged toward the Void Manta whilst attacking with the Energy Cannon continuously.
Although the weakest attack of the sword was not as strong as Zhang's family's Railgun, it had the same firepower as a Level 4 beginner's full force attack. Even though with high vitality and strength, the Void Manta was still vulnerable to such an attack that landed every 5 seconds. Blood and pieces of flesh were continuously stripped from the beast as Jiang Fei attacked. Even though he was making progress, attacks at such magnitude would not be sufficient to kill the Void Manta.
Wooooo!
As it felt its life was at stake, the Void Manta chose not to eat Jiang Fei. Instead, it started to want to kill him. Its green eyes started to glow again and this time, without much delay, beams of attacks landed on Jiang Fei.
”Warning! High-intensity wave attacks received. Barrier integrity: 75%. Warning. Estimate subsequence attack: one minute!”
”No time to lose!”
Jiang Fei gritted his teeth hard and moved to the space above of the Void Manta. Using the sword to attack from a distance would leave him exposed to attacks from the Void Manta as well. Trading hits with each other would only result in loss from both sides. Hence, Jiang Fei had decided to not let the Void Manta attack him. Instead, he will rely on his own strength to attack.
