Ding-vrrrr!!!
Just before Ramiel's beam struck Unit-01's chest, Special Unit reached it and deployed an A.T. Field to defend it!
Bzzzzzz!!!
The beam hit Special Unit's field, throwing off sparks like an arc welder and crackling fiercely. Even through the screens in NERV's underground command room, everyone could feel the immense destructive power behind Ramiel's attack.
Inside the Special Unit Entry Plug, Huang Zhetian gritted his teeth with effort, concentrating on maintaining the A.T. Field.
He kept adding several more layers of A.T. Fields, thickening the defenses.
"Aunt Misato, we can't get close enough to attack effectively! We have to retreat for now, discuss it, and figure out our next move!"
Huang Zhetian knew this couldn't go on. Special Unit's defenses would be pierced sooner or later. Besides, he still didn't have any good weapons or skills for long-range attacks...
While Special Unit blocked the attack, Unit-01 removed the restraints on both shoulders, pulled back to the Weapons Building, and picked up a rifle. It aimed at Ramiel overhead and squeezed the trigger, firing an entire burst.
But it did no good at all. Ramiel deployed an enormous A.T. Field barrier, then continued firing its beam.
Inside the Entry Plug, Huang Zhetian felt his palms growing hotter. He knew Ramiel's attack was dismantling his A.T. Field bit by bit. He couldn't keep letting himself be used as a sitting duck!!
Looks like I have to use that move early!
"A.T. Field Radiation Beam": Similar to Ultraman's Specium Ray, with the same firing stance but different power. Its damage is only roughly equivalent to one of Ramiel's ordinary attacks.
Huang Zhetian seized his chance, dropped the A.T. Field to cancel the recovery delay, and sidestepped Ramiel's beam. He raised both arms into a cross and aimed at Ramiel!
