"Close, close!
Just one artillery strike with a Triple Critical Hit had caused reflected damage that, under the boost of that pale green halo, broke through two layers of the Sky Peng Horizontal's defenses—the energy shield and the armor resilience layer—and even damaged the armor modules themselves.
If that kind of damage came again...
