Li Wei had never imagined that, in an age of developing steam technology, he would fight a science-fiction battle that would only have appeared in games and movies even in his own era.
A mecha against a monster?
It felt just like a boss fight.
In fact, Li Wei felt he was fighting a boss right now.
The Night Raven constantly changed direction in midair, dodging the red beams fired one after another from the wings of the angel behind it. At the same time, it raised its mecha weapon and attacked whenever it had an opening. But the weapon lacked power; its shots barely did anything to the angel.
Although Li Wei couldn't see this boss's HP, he could guess that his current attacks hardly tickled the monster!
Meanwhile, a system notification chimed, and a prompt appeared before Li Wei.
[Quest "Seal Release" activated] [Quest objective: release the sealed soul]
A seal? What seal?
Li Wei steered the mecha left and right, dodging as questions swirled through his mind. Judging by the quest description, was this thing a seal? How was he supposed to undo it? Speaking of sealed souls, the Holy Maiden had said earlier that her soul had been sealed away.
Could this angel be sealing the Holy Maiden's soul?
Whatever. I'll fight first!
The enemy was right in front of him. Li Wei couldn't stop fighting just because he didn't understand the quest. What, was he supposed to run away now?
With that thought, Li Wei tightened his grip on the controls, looked at the enemy again, and began considering his options.
Hmm, tough, but not unbeatable. So far, this thing seems strong at range. It probably isn't so good up close. As for [Reality Anchoring], Li Wei decided not to use it yet.
