The next moment,
as Su Wen slid toward the ground along the glass wall, passing beyond the electromagnetic fog barrier Caroline had erected,
she felt ripples of blue light spread across the edge of the barrier she had constructed.
In an instant,
the entire night sky over Deep Tokyo seemed to finally awaken.
It suddenly opened countless crimson electronic eyes!
Those backend data monitors running at overload seemed to have finally found a relatively clear loophole amid the chaotic data.
Therefore, just as Su Wen had anticipated:
Unable to fix the loophole and gripped by fear, they would see his appearance as a lifeline.
Countless Hunter Drones equipped with plasma cutting blades dove down from the neon-colored storm clouds.
Even
the non-Human Federation insignias painted on their fuselages glimmered with Cold Light in the rainstorm, while their spiraling flight paths cut the rain into glittering diamond-shaped fragments.
Yet faced with such a savage assault, Su Wen—who had just farmed enough experience to nearly reach the fourth rank—showed no panic at all. He merely slowly raised his blade as he leaped.
Amid the torrential rain, his movements seemed very, very slow.
But in Deep Tokyo's data surveillance,
at the moment Su Wen drew his sword,
all data monitoring of him seemed to become blurred, able to capture only an indistinct silhouette.
Then,
all those surveillance screens showed nothing but drones displaying the error signal: 'connection lost.'
Perhaps
only Caroline could clearly see the drone wreckage split apart by his blade, blue-green plasma even surging from their cuts.
Hacker Miss pulled down her neon visor, then smiled and gave him a thumbs-up from high above.
Faced with her gesture,
the handsome Scholar merely smiled faintly.
He did not maintain his constant descent, since that would have required him to counteract his momentum
