Sky-cracking Rider

Big Yellow Apu was shimmering with electric light, grasping the metal handle handed over by Chen Fei.

The people around immediately stepped back a few steps, keeping a respectful distance.

The Thunder series fighting spirit transformed into a strong current, which was first converted into higher level Crystal Energy, flowing into the open dome and the Crystalline Block, on one hand continuing to drive the Magic Array, and on the other hand charging the Crystalline Block.

Although Apu's output power was not even comparable to Chen Fei's own generation of electricity, at this crucial moment, having any power was better than none, and every watt of power was a vital resource for survival.

Just then, everyone's phone rang.

They had received a mass emergency shelter text message.

"What?"

After a glance at the screens of their phones, more than one person exclaimed in shock.

Had the situation within Hablav City become this dire?

Suddenly, Little Bird looked up, gathering points of light, displaying the image of the sky.

The rarely seen "Light Mirror Spell" had been successfully cast.

It was like the end of the world, with countless red and blue fireballs falling from the dark sky.

The perspective switched, and a blue and white fireball was powerfully hurtling towards a silver white circular hut on the ground.

Which familiar half-spherical hut could it be?

It was indeed where everyone was hiding, surrounded by towering Ice Walls, shielding them against intense heat radiation.

"Oh! That, that one! It's about to fall!"

The previously helpful Wind Ability User pointed to the image projected by the "Light Mirror Spell," his mouth wide open and his face filled with horror.

No wonder they had received a mass emergency shelter text message; with these crazed fireballs raining down, how could they possibly withstand it.

"Run!"

Someone shouted, wanting to rush to a nearby shelter.

But they were immediately stopped from this unwise act.

"Where can you run to? There's no escaping now!"

A red and blue fireball crashed to the ground, its eerie dual-colored flames devouring a hundred-meter radius, no structure could withstand it. It shattered everything on contact, and even if one fireball could be dodged, the next probably couldn't.

With so many red and blue fireballs densely falling from the sky, magma and toxic smoke pervading the surroundings, where could they possibly flee to in such a hurried situation?

Even seeking refuge in shelters was already too late!

"We have to fight for our lives!"

Susanna, a B-grade Ice Ability User who had failed to escape earlier, had gone even paler, not from cold this time, but from fright.

Fortunately, the temperature was quite high at the moment, probably around forty or fifty degrees, allowing her ability to operate at one hundred percent power.

Adrian, who could offer no help, could only comfort her, "Susanna, don't overexert yourself!"

Behind his words lay a resignation to fate.

He knew Susanna's Superpower Level, which couldn't be regarded the same as the B-level displayed by Chen Fei. It was a weakened B-level, barely stronger than a C-level, and perhaps a C-level Ice Ability User wouldn't freeze half to death activating her ability as she did.

This ability truly left one at a loss for words.

"Ice and Snow Palace!"

Susanna's pupils turned silvery white in an instant. Cold air surged around her, swirling in all directions. As the nearby flames weakened, Ice Walls around the circular hut rose again, then joined together, forming arches and constructing a sparkling crystal-clear snow-white palace.

The Ice Ability was, in these moments, of prime use. Between man and fate, she could only risk her life to unleash her deadliest move.@@novelbin@@

Naturally, Little Bird, which had been keeping cool atop her head, couldn't endure the sudden chill and fell onto Chen Fei's shoulder.

The Mobile Base Vehicle, formed into a dome, had nowhere to hide, hopping around seeking a relatively suitable temperature, looking extremely uneasy as if a catastrophic disaster was about to strike.

Crystal ice edges and columns continuously melted under the sweeping heat radiation but quickly reformed. A flurry of snow even began within a small area, although most of the snowflakes evaporated into wisps of steam as soon as they appeared, mixing into the air, but the Ice and Snow Palace enveloping the circular metal hut persisted in the midst of a sea of fire.

Under Adrian's direction, the Earth Mage Ruan Tiankai and another Earth Element Ability User, together raised an earthen wall, attempting to shield Susanna's Ice and Snow Palace with an additional layer of rock-soil carapace against the high temperature, aiming to reduce some of her burden.

A layer of earth, a layer of ice, a group of Magic Arrays, and a Wind Ability User ready to unleash full power — the rest was left to fate.

This was all they could do with all their might.

While many Ability Users had defensive mechanisms, these were generally limited to their own personal protection. In face of a life and death crisis, if blocking was ineffective, they could only run, each looking out for themselves, making it rare for there to be large-scale protective abilities.

Suddenly, a railgun appeared beside Chen Fei, its barrel pointed at an opening in the dome's roof.

A 152 Demolition Bomb was primed and ready.

"Fire!"

Not needing much speed, the 152 Demolition Bomb was launched, piercing through Susanna's Ice and Snow Palace. Taking advantage of the rock-soil carapace by the two Earth Element Users which had not yet closed, it met the increasingly close red and blue fireball.

Darkness suddenly enveloped everything as the dome-shaped rock-soil carapace finally sealed over the Ice and Snow Palace, its ground section faintly glowing red as it bore the high temperatures.

The outside light was severed, and the screen of the "Light Mirror Spell" simultaneously plunged into darkness, dissolving into countless points of light that vanished in the air.

The "Illumination Technique" Magic Array, kept on standby in the full metal dome, finally came into use and lit up instantly, emitting a soft white light that illuminated the uncertain faces of everyone present.

"Chen..."

Adrian was about to say something.

Boom!~

An earth-shaking tremor, as if doomsday had arrived...

The full metal dome, cloaked by the Ice and Snow Palace and a hemispherical rock-soil carapace, began to shake violently, and even the light from the "Illumination Technique" Magic Array flickered unstably.

Energy Points -300!

Chen Fei temporarily exchanged for 300 tons of metal, which had an immediate effect. It stabilized the swaying full metal dome, significantly enhancing both the supports and the thickness of the dome.

It suddenly brightened outside the dome, as if the bowl-shaped overturn trapped the Ice and Snow Palace and the hemispherical rock-soil carapace began to collapse first, the upper part turning directly into magma, which, swept up by a massive impact force, clashed intensely with the thick layer of ice below, hissing and steaming as the vapors rose.

The Ice and Snow Palace did not hold out for long; it collapsed rapidly. The still-fluid magma broke through the ice layer, threatening to pour over the full metal dome, but six Magic Arrays lit up together, and a huge shockwave burst forth one after the other, carrying the magma mixed with steam into the sky.

The brightness of the "Repulsion Shield" Magic Array, maintaining six layers of Protective Barriers, reached its peak and even started to flicker as if it was about to overload.

At a hundred meters above the ground, 152 Demolition Bombs were prematurely detonated, and red-blue fireballs spilled their terrifying destructive power in all directions.

Covered in a layer of frost from head to toe, Susanna's eyes rolled back aside, and although she regained the color of her pupils, she immediately fell backward.

The prepared Mouri Misono quickly caught her.

The environment's still-scorching temperature would provide Susanna with the heat she needed; at the moment, she was merely unconscious due to exhaustion.

The unkept remnants of the Ice and Snow Palace evaporated swiftly, disappearing, and simultaneously took away a large wave of heat.

"Xiao Jiu, use 'Light of Redemption'!"

Chen Fei quickly asked the little bird on his shoulder for help, as it was time for Team 04's Band-Aid to showcase its specialty.

Susanna exerted her Ice Attribute Special Ability to its fullest, but even wearing a down coat couldn't block the chill emanating from the power.

Xiao Jiu, taking advantage of the remaining cool air, rushed over and snuggled up, then a "Light of Redemption" plunged into Susanna's chest, engulfing her in a faint white light.

The effect of "Light of Redemption" was much stronger than that of "Light Healing Technique," which was akin to a real Band-Aid.

"Ha!"

Susanna sharply inhaled, then started coughing violently; with each cough, a puff of cold mist was expelled. This dire use of her last-resort ability almost froze her lungs solid.

The Second Rank "Light of Redemption" finally pulled her back from the brink of unconsciousness.

After regaining consciousness, she coughed a few more times before starting to breathe deeply, trying to inhale every bit of warmth in the air into her body.

"Chirp!"

The little bird repositioned itself on the high point over Susanna's head, seamlessly settling down to nest, relishing in the coolness from her body; the surrounding area was too hot, hot enough to almost curl its feathers.

The disappeared "Light Mirror Spell" reappeared, allowing everyone to see the sky's condition again.

The huge red-blue fireballs had dispersed, but the flames had not vanished; instead, they were scattered by the impact force of the 152 Demolition Bombs, no longer smashing directly onto the full metal dome, but transforming into a rain of fire that covered a radius of one kilometer.

Just the remnants alone almost caused the collective defense to collapse.

The battery icon in the upper right corner of the view showed the number 45.

Chen Fei's expression turned sour.

Although the rock-soil carapace and the Ice and Snow Palace absorbed some of the impact, the full metal dome's surface's Magic Arrays were still bearing the brunt of it.

The price paid was that the already insufficient energy reserves were quickly depleted.

If another strike came...

"I can't do this anymore!"

Apu, who had been continuously exerting his maximal Battle Qi, had turned completely pale, becoming Big Yellow.

"If you're a man, you can't say you can't handle it!"

Chen Fei then shoved the thick copper rod back into his hands.

He could only continue to push this unfortunate soul.

Keep pushing, Lao Hei!

Another person, also drafted at the scene as a Thunder Series Ability User, simply looked resigned to his fate.

Suddenly, a pillar of light descended from the sky, landing outside the city, followed by slender light beams that also fell, precisely hitting each red-blue fireball, immediately causing fireworks to bloom in the air.

"What's going on?" Your adventure continues at My Virtual Library Empire

Everyone watching the "Light Mirror Spell" screen exclaimed in surprise.

If not mistaken, it must be reinforcing forces arriving.
