Chapter 496 Prototype
However, after only two seconds, Sword Saint Tirion knew that the person sitting inside and controlling the prototype was not Hiram, or at least not the normal Hiram.
Because the prototype's two arms with thick barrels immediately raised and aimed as soon as they saw them.
Suddenly, a metal storm appeared!
Dense metal projectiles attacked the team like a storm.
"Water snake swirl!"
Of course, Ryan's team was naturally not unprepared. Hernandez raised his hand, and a high-speed surging water flow, like a transparent giant snake, wrapped all of them.
The spherical, red-hot metal bullets hit the high-speed surging water flow, and immediately splashed a lot of water, but the water flow quickly absorbed the kinetic energy of the bullets.
For a moment, the dense bullets seemed to hit thick cotton.
However, at this time, Hernandez's face suddenly changed, and he whispered: "Something is wrong, the power of my water magic has dropped by more than 30%."
"Just now I thought it was because of the influence of the magma area below, but the power will never be so much different."
As a Dawn Wizard who is extremely sensitive to the changes in the power of his own magic, Hernandez found something wrong as
soon as he cast the spell. "Huh?" When Ryan heard this, he couldn't help but carefully feel the magic sawtooth ring he had just cast, but he found abnormally that the metal energy particles here were strangely active.
The power of his magic actually rose by 10%.
I saw that the six sawtooth rings he cast were rotating at a high speed, as if entering an unmanned area, and easily cut the dense group of mechanical chocobos attacking from the back into pieces, turning them into a large pile of fragments on the spot.
"Sir Ryan, are you not affected?" Hernandez looked at the amazing power of Ryan's sawtooth ring and couldn't help but wonder.
"It was not affected, but its power increased by about 10%." Ryan said bluntly.
"This..."
Facing the attack of the prototype, Sword Saint Tirion, as the spear sword of the team, naturally launched a counterattack.
He flashed, leaving several afterimages, and rushed towards the opponent in a multi-segment zigzag way, avoiding the dense bullets.
As if sensing the powerful threat brought by Sword Saint Tirion, the six-barrel Gatling gun in the center of the prototype suddenly surged with powerful energy fluctuations.
"Be careful of the energy cannon!" Hernandez warned loudly.
"The prototype's arm barrels fired physical bullets, but the six barrels in the center of its body fired some kind of energy shells."
"After the prototype was discovered, it caused a big sensation in the Federation. Including me, we have studied it carefully." Hernandez quickly explained to Ryan.
Ryan nodded and focused his attention on the chest barrel of the prototype.
Sure enough, with the surge of energy!
Energy balls the size of baseballs blasted towards the Sword Saint Tirion like a torrent.
But after being reminded, Tirion was extremely fast and easily dodged them, which put pressure on Hernandez.
Energy balls brushed past the Sword Saint Tirion and hit the water snake hood, causing dense explosions.
This caused Hernandez, whose sorcery power had obviously decreased, to increase his mental output immediately to maintain the stability of the water snake hood.
At this time, Ryan raised his hand, and the six serrated rings that had completely destroyed the three teams of mechanical chocobos whizzed in front of him in the air and lined up neatly.
Hernandez looked at the buzzing serrated metal ring with a little surprise. He could feel that the energy fluctuations surging in it had just entered the threshold of the fourth-level sorcery.
But obviously, this should only be the third-level sorcery.
This Lord Ryan not only has the rare blood of the dragon, but also has a rare talent for metal.
No wonder the Federation had a very high opinion of Lord Ryan and tried to win him over, even letting him participate in the exploration of such an important ancient goblin ruins.
At this time, Sword Saint Tirion had already swung more than ten silver sword lights at the prototype.
"Plasma shield! (Ancient goblin language)"
As the mechanical and slightly sharp voice sounded, two balls of light blue plasma suddenly shot out from the shoulders of the prototype, and quickly enclosed its tall body, forming an energy shield.
The next moment, Tirion's more than ten silver sword lights bombarded this so-called plasma shield.
But the shield only had a small dent and formed a large number of arcs to resist. It didn't seem difficult to resist the sword moves of Sword Saint Tirion.
Seeing this scene, Ryan's eyes narrowed slightly!
The attack of a sword saint, even if it was an ordinary sword move, was not less powerful than the general fourth-level dawn witchcraft, but it was easily resisted by the giant golem called "prototype" in front of him.
He somewhat understood why this golem attracted the attention of the Federation and was named Prototype No. 1.
This golem was completely different from the "Destroyer" he had obtained in the ruins of Valzig.
The Destroyer was more inclined to close combat, of course, it also had a certain ranged attack capability, while the prototype in front of him was obviously mainly for ranged attacks.
"Go!"
Ryan raised his hand and waved it. The six serrated metal rings in his hand flew out six beautiful arcs and came to the back of the prototype to launch an attack.
The metal rings rotated at high speed and had a fierce friction with the plasma shield of the prototype!
Although the six serrated metal rings could not break through the defense of this plasma shield, Ryan's purpose was not here. He wanted to create a fighting opportunity for the Sword Saint Tirion.
The energy and arc of the plasma shield began to gather towards the back of the prototype, and the blue shield in front was obviously dimmed.
When Sword Saint Tirion saw this scene, he naturally understood what Ren's intention was. He immediately seized the opportunity, and after a short period of accumulation, he slashed a cross sword light at the prototype again.
It was his trump card, the 'Super God Cross Slash'!
"Chi!"
The long silver sword light instantly cut into the plasma shield in front of it, which had already weakened a lot. Then, the sword light did not stop and split the prototype into an X shape.
The six-barreled Gatling gun in the middle was directly shattered, and the arms were completely cut off at the same time, which completely destroyed the offensive ability of the prototype.
However, it can be seen that Tirion deliberately avoided the control room of the prototype.
Obviously, he considered that if Hiram was corroded by black bugs, at least he could take the other party's body back.
Sword Saint Tirion flashed and chopped the shield of the control room in an instant, but what appeared inside was a shriveled goblin.
If there is any difference from the goblin who controlled the mechanical chocobo before, it is that this goblin has something similar to human military rank on his shoulders.
In other words, this is a goblin with a relatively high rank.
But the other party also had a blank look in his eyes, and it was obvious that he could not communicate.
"Bad luck!" Tirion chopped it in two, and at the same time, killed the black bug.
"It's not a bad thing that Hiram is not in there."
"Yeah!"
"Let's go, hurry up."
Ryan noticed that after Tirion used the Super God Cross Slash, his forehead was slightly sweaty.
This time, five minutes had passed, and no more mechanical monsters came to encircle them.
However, everyone's attention was not on this matter at the moment. They were looking for traces of survivors.
"Hey, it should be this location, why is there no one?" Sword Saint Tirion recalled the location where he saw the red flare before, and couldn't help wondering.
"It was this location just now, but it may not be now. Your Majesty Tirion, don't forget that the ground here will move." Ryan thought for a while and reminded.
"How do we find it? We can't wait for them to fire the next flare, right?"
Tirion frowned. At this time, he seemed to have thought of something, turned around and said, "Your Majesty Hernandez, please use divination."
"I'm afraid it's hard. My divination can only predict the approximate range of Hiram, but here, a difference of 20 meters may be an error of an entire street." Hernandez shook his head and said.
"Let me do it. If I'm not mistaken, even if there is movement, it shouldn't be too far away." Ryan took over the words, bent down, and gently touched the ground with his palm emitting a strong dark silver light.
Tirion and Hernandez couldn't help but look at Ryan in surprise.
Because they all knew that Ryan was a metal wizard, but they had never heard of any metal magic to find people.
But soon, they understood.
The next second!
A dark silver metal ripple was seen with Ryan's palm as the center, spreading out like a wave.
For a moment, the marble on the ground burst, and a short metal protrusion suddenly grew below.
Yes, it is a protrusion, not a spike!
This is a weakened version of the domain-type Dawn Killer Move "Iron Forest".
Ryan suppressed the power of the Iron Forest to the minimum to perform it, so the steel protrusion rising from the ground at this moment was only 20 to 30 centimeters high and extended outward like a wave.
Fifty meters!
One hundred meters!
One hundred and fifty meters!
"Pop!"
A lot of human exclamations appeared out of nowhere about one hundred and seventy or eighty meters to the right front.
"Found it!"
Ryan's face lit up with joy!
And Tirion and Hernandez naturally understood that they had found a survivor.
However, compared to the joy of Ryan's team, the people in the shielding device were suddenly panicked and confused.
Many people looked at the fleeting dark silver metal ripples on the ground, and then many people jumped up one after another because of the metal bulges on the ground.
"Damn, did the flare just released attract monsters?"
"But it didn't attract any monsters so many times before, why is my luck so bad this time!"
"This is obviously a metal energy fluctuation, and the coverage area is so large, it must be some kind of goblin technology in this ruins."
"Maybe the flare attracted an incredible big guy this time."
Even Hiram, the dean of the Federal Mechanical Research Institute, couldn't help but change his face when he saw the steel bulges on the ground.
Without time to lament that the plan did not change quickly, he cleared his throat and immediately shouted:
"Everyone prepare to fight!"
"We will split up and break out from all directions later.
" "As long as one person can get out, submit the observation report as soon as possible."
Hearing Hiram's words, everyone looked serious, but no one backed down.
Because everyone knew that facing the goblin monster that had turned into a mummy, surrendering was meaningless, and the only way was to fight to the death.
However, as soon as everyone rushed out of the camp covered by the shield, everyone, including Hiram, stopped and froze on the spot.
In their hands or in front of them, there were still condensed witchcraft energy balls emitting various colors of light, but as if they were hit by petrification, they were slow to swing out.
"Your Majesty Tirion!"
"Your Majesty Hernandez"
Hiram was surprised and happy!
As the dean of the Federal Mechanical Research Institute and a veteran third-level crystal wizard, he was actually about the same age as Hernandez, and even a few years older than the swordmaster Tirion.
He naturally knew these two powerful men of the same period in the Federation.
However, soon, his sight was attracted by a young man.
The tall young man was bending down and pressing a palm emitting a rich dark silver light on the ground.
Because Hiram noticed at the first time that the metal energy fluctuations that just covered a wide area came from the other party's palm.
Such a wide coverage! Domain-type witchcraft?
Even a metal wizard at the peak of crystallization can't do it!
Could the other party be a dawn wizard?
But is there such a young number one strong man in the Federation?
"Haha, Hiram, I knew you were okay." Sword Saint Tirion laughed.
"Old friend, I'm glad you're okay." Hernandez also smiled and nodded.
However, the two soon noticed Hiram's sight, staring at Ryan in a daze, and immediately looked at each other and laughed.
Tirion patted Hiram's shoulder heavily and joked, "This is Lord Ryan of the Empire, a rare metal-type dawn wizard. Look at you, you are so old, and yet you are still... Alas~"
"What! Lord Ryan of the Empire? But... Didn't the intelligence say he was a crystallized wizard? How come..." However, Hiram, who had let the cat out of the bag, immediately fell silent.
At this time, Ryan slowly stood up, not minding what Hiram had just said carelessly, and said with a smile:
"It seems that Lord Hiram knows me very well."
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty Ryan, your amazing talent is well known to me even though I'm far away in the Federation."
Just as Hiram bowed slightly to Ryan and said compliments.
Suddenly, a dull "dong dong" sound began to be heard all around, and it was approaching quickly from the front and back.
In addition, there were also dense clicking sounds.
"Oh no, it's those goblin mummies and mechanical monsters!"
"Your Majesties, follow me in."
Hiram waved his hand quickly, and a mirror appeared in the empty air, revealing the small camp inside.
