Battle of Vilsert (10)

Countless attacks poured down like rain, slamming directly into the completely unguarded front of the Cyrus Fleet.

Especially the silver-white beam at the center of the entire area bombardment, brimming with an overwhelming aura of destruction—it directly swallowed Willvis's flagship along with several escort warships around it.

Yet strangely, unlike the surrounding escort warships that were blasted straight into wreckage, Willvis's flagship remained completely unchanged within that silver-white energy, as though the warship were nothing more than a projection. The sight was indescribably eerie.

Within the Phased State.

Watching the silver-white torrent of energy continuously wash toward him, Willvis breathed a sigh of relief.

The silver-white energy torrent, which had originally resembled nothing more than a phantom image with no actual effect, began leaking through tiny cracks that appeared in the surrounding space.

Perhaps "leaking" was not quite accurate. Rather, the terrifying attack had torn countless tiny holes through the phase barrier, allowing destructive energy to force its way through those openings into other phases.

As more and more destructive energy penetrated the phase barrier, explosions erupted one after another from equipment throughout the bridge. Flames even burst from many consoles, making it look exactly like a warship under attack and on the verge of collapse.

"It's over!"

Willvis froze at the hellish sight on the bridge. After a long while, those were the only two words he managed to utter.

The entire warship suffered widespread damage. At last, the generators maintaining the phase shield were hit as well.

Once they stopped operating, the warship could no longer remain within the Phased State. It was dragged directly back
