On a high peak in the Wulati Mountain Range, a biting wind howled and no birds were to be seen. The Duke, clad in black armor, stood atop the peak with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping across several kilometers to the massive mine pit lying on the ground and the tight defensive fortifications surrounding it.
Kaluote stood beside the Duke, draped in a brown cloak, wearing a mask, his gaze deep and unfathomable.
"It's about time, let's go!" the Duke said, his battle Dou Qi flowing like water as he released his Sanctuary, enveloping Kaluote. The latter did not resist, and just like that, the two of them disappeared from the mountaintop as if they had blended into the environment.
The Sanctuary is the extension of the magnetic field of life forms at the Legendary level and above. It is connected to heaven and earth and can leverage power far exceeding its own. At the same time, the Sanctuary also has many wonderful uses. It can blend into the environment Concealment its form, which is just one of them.
"The Sanctuary..." A hint of envy flashed in Kaluote's eyes; this was the power he had always dreamed of.
Under the cover of the Sanctuary, the Duke and his companion quickly descended to the bottom of the mine and entered the Underdark through a tunnel.
The process went very smoothly.
On the battlefield, after sending Wellington the message "Trust Melier," Logo once again raised his War Falcon X and aimed at a massive creature on the battlefield.
This is a large, grayish-brown lizard, nearly twenty meters long and about six meters tall. Its back is undulating like a mountain range, and its body is covered with dense and complex patterns. Its pupils are a hazy gray, capable of emitting a grayish-white light.
Creatures hit by this light will have their flesh and blood petrified; if the difference in strength is too great, they will be instantly turned into a stone.
Petrifying Eye, the most powerful racial talent of the Basilisk, with particularly terrifying area-of-effect attacks.
It was precisely because of the Petrifying Eye that this race was able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Dark Elf Clan, despite having extremely few soldiers, and not be at a disadvantage.
The Basilisk have a very strong defense; their shells are as hard as ultra-high-strength alloys. To deal with them, Logo specifically switched to Armor Break.
Boom!!
As Logo pulled the trigger, a thunderous roar echoed outwards. The gelatinous substance inside the Sky Eagle Mecha absorbed most of the weapon's Berserk, much like a sponge absorbing water.
Logo could withstand the remaining small portion of the kinetic storm without sustaining any damage, thanks to Logo physical attributes and mastery of superb force-dissipation techniques.
The 33mm Armor Break bullet was propelled out of the barrel by the enormous thrust generated by the explosion of gunpowder.
During the process, the unique rifling structure, gravity acceleration device, Electromagnetic Acceleration ring, and rune acceleration are all activated simultaneously.
The quadruple acceleration caused the bullet to break the sound speed the moment it left the muzzle, with almost no delay, as if it were teleporting, and crashed into the Basilisk's head.
The bullet's tip was first flattened by the Basilisk's hard skull, then the internal mechanism activated, and a jet of scorching metal particles gushed out.
This jet of water, carrying extremely high temperature and penetrating power, broke through the Basilisk's layers of defense, giving the giant creature a "scalding" experience.
Thump!!
The Basilisk, at the peak of the Tier Six, lay on the ground, flames burning in the hole on the front of its head.
"Well done, boss!"
Crassus shouted excitedly into the communication channel. The fat cat was controlling a laser war machine. High-energy laser beams shot out from the crystal prism tower, suppressing a large group of War Lizard People so that they could not raise their heads.
Meanwhile, the Dark Twin Stars, brother and sister, transformed into graceful, dancing shadows, leaping among the War Lizard People War Lizard People, reaping their lives in a cruel yet beautiful manner.
At the very center of the battlefield, two terrifying waves of life energy rose like smoke, colliding repeatedly.
One of the creatures, clearly at a disadvantage and unable to lift its head under pressure, was surprisingly resilient. It was the leader of the Basilisk, Ninth-Rank Transcendent Lifeform. Its stone shell, polished over hundreds of years, made it difficult for the old count to defeat it quickly. Not to mention, this creature could also burrow underground, making it even more troublesome.
However, although the old count was quite disgusted, he managed to hold off the Basilisk leader and prevent the latter from using the Petrifying Eye to kill a large number of his own soldiers, so he didn't lose out.
After observing the battlefield situation, Logo quickly identified his next target.
A Tier Seven War Lizard People!
He first changed his location and hid behind a large rock.
Activating the [Aura Concealment and Weakening Device] and [Crisis Sensing Blocker] at maximum power, an invisible field quietly appeared, and Logo's aura began to rapidly decrease until it was almost non-existent, like a hazy mist.
The enemy can only see with the naked eye, but their senses are as if shrouded in darkness, making it difficult for them to detect the approaching danger.
The large, hollowed-out muzzle of the gun slowly extends.
Logo took out a blue-purple bullet; faint arcs of electricity flickered across its surface.
Lightning-attribute rune armor-piercing bullets!
Logo crafted it by hand, using a magical metal called "Thunder-Patterned Magic Iron," with four runes engraved on its surface: Armor Break Penetration, Magic Break, Acceleration, and Penetration.
Once the bullet is fired, its speed will increase by another 30%.
Let alone Seventh-Tier Transcendent, even Ninth-Rank Transcendent might not be able to escape it.
Simply put, lightning-attribute bullets have two characteristics: high speed and high penetration!
Unlike Armor Break, which rely on an internal jet of ultra-high-temperature metal to kill the enemy, armor-piercing projectiles rely entirely on kinetic energy and their own material properties to strike the enemy.
Due to its relatively unstable internal structure, the Armor Break has a slow velocity, but it is sufficient to strike the bulky Basilisk.
However, the War Lizard People are humanoid life forms that excel in close combat, are extremely agile, and possess close-range perception abilities that are no weaker than those of warriors or martial artists of the same rank.
To strike this Tier Seven War Lizard People, one must deliver a lightning-fast, thunderous blow.
A single lightning-attribute rune Armor Break bullet is worth up to 3,000 Ta Pound, even surpassing the value of some two-star premium-quality Transcendent equipment.
This is just the construction cost; if it were to be sold to the public, Logo would have to ask for at least 5,000 Ta Pound.
In the world of alchemists, equipment prices are often linked to power.
Logo loaded the long bullet into the chamber, pulled the bolt, and held his breath.
On his forehead, countless starlight flashed in his Eye of Insight, and in less than 0.1 seconds, he analyzed the optimal shooting angle.
Logo didn't hesitate and pulled the trigger!
Boom!!
The bullet left the barrel, transforming into a blue-purple beam that trailed a long streak of light, and struck the Tier Seven War Lizard People directly in the chest.
Thump!!
Like a war drum being sounded, the beam of light pierced through his chest, flew several hundred meters further, and then gradually disappeared.
"I..."
The War Lizard People was fighting a Herbert Family Slaughter Knight, raised his right hand and clutched his chest in disbelief, as if trying to block something out, but in the end, he lay on the ground with his eyes wide open, his life force rapidly fading away.
A High-Rank Transcendent Lifeform was killed by Logo with a single shot!
Everyone on the battlefield was stunned, both the enemy and their own side, especially the Slaughter Knight. Although he knew the shot wasn't aimed at him, he still broke out in a cold sweat.
However, before they could even trace the trajectory of the bullet, a cold, sharp voice suddenly rang in Logo's ears, "Such a fast gun!"
The Duke has arrived!
Logo laughed!
