Chapter 691 691: Section 686 - Seizing the Opportunity in Chaos
"The Undying Pigeon" Legion camp had descended into utter chaos.
The use of the Neanderthal Secret Technique "Fight to the Death" along with the ultra-high-speed movement of the specialized weapon "Blood Spike" had Chen Xiao'er employing hit-and-run tactics. He steadfastly engaged in battle only when he couldn't avoid it and displayed no desire to linger in fights, proving quite troublesome even for Heavenly Order War Professionals.
Unable to catch him momentarily, the casualties and damages continued to escalate.
"Come and hit me if you can!"
Chen Fei leaped up and down within the camp, fearlessly and repeatedly taunting the rebel soldiers and officers, showing no urgency to escape from the "Undying Pigeon" Legion's encampment.
Any person would be infuriated to the point of smoke blowing out of their seven orifices, relentlessly pursuing him, making the fiery scene even more intense.
"How exactly did this guy run out? And what's with that tactical armor? Who, damn it, who?"
Sitting at the command center of the legion, Legion Commander Valenya roared frantically. He suspected a traitor within the "Undying Pigeon" Legion had not only released the imprisoned Chen Fei but had also provided him with battle gear, which was downright bewildering.
The commander of the "Undying Pigeon" Legion, having trapped Chen Fei with great effort, fiercely demanded, "Tell me, who helped you? Just tell me, and I can let you go!"
Valenya was even willing to let Chen Fei go to root out the traitor in the legion; after all, if the traitor could release a prisoner today, there's no telling what life-threatening act they might commit tomorrow.
"You're going to be disappointed, no one helped me!"
Chen Fei casually surveyed the War Professionals and Spellcasters eying him fiercely. He continued to activate his Psi Skill "Personal Armor Basic Body" in gigantification mode, stacking it directly onto the "Dragon King" Assault Heavy Armor. His outward stature instantly shot up to four meters high, and the number of Magic Array Inscriptions increased from 20 to 100.
Now more combat capable, even if he took on Heavenly Order War Professionals head-on, they would not easily defeat him.
However, the rampant running around the camp had not allowed Chen Fei to collect many Crystalline Blocks. The largest was only the size of a quail egg, and its energy density grade wasn't very high, far from comparable to the top-grade Crystalline Blocks he usually used.
Therefore, the energy from the captured Crystalline Blocks could only sustain a short duration of combat. Together with the electric energy and crystal energy produced by Chen Fei's Psi Skill "Light/Electric/Magnetic/Crystal Energy Universal Converter and Management Component", it was just enough for him to break out of the "Undying Pigeon" Legion camp.
The gigantification mode of the "Dragon King" Assault Heavy Armor was indeed a major energy consumer, relying only on the few Crystalline Blocks he had, it could maintain full-fledged combat for only about 1 minute, not even enough to power a more powerful Mechanical Dragon.
The rebels wouldn't give Chen Fei the time to evolve his combat aircraft and take off.
"You are clearly a supernatural power user and have been injected with a Supernatural Ability Suppressant. How could you possibly escape on your own?"
Valenya was filled with "a hundred thousand whys" as the effects of a Supernatural Ability Suppressant should last at least half a month, but it had seemingly become ineffective so quickly.
Chen Fei had been injected with Supernatural Ability Suppressants from two sources: one from the "Radiant Tiger" Legion and another from the "Undying Pigeon" Legion.
In the face of a Supernatural Ability Suppressant that cost no more than 500 Star Yuan per dose, even S-class Ability Users could not be exempted, which offered an extremely high cost-performance ratio.
"Because I am a Metal Elemental Spellcaster, the Supernatural Ability Suppressant naturally has no effect on me."
Chen Fei, a certified B-class Metal Ability User, bluffed shamelessly. It was a war of intelligence; by confusing the enemy first, he could effectively create an opportunity to muddle through.
Apart from Ability Users, most in the Metal Elemental category were War Professionals, with Metal Elemental Mages being even rarer than Magicians.
If the Metallic Dragons had possessed spiritual power, they could have developed their own Metal Elemental Casting Ability like other Element Series Giant Dragons, significantly increasing their combat power.
"Metal Elemental Spellcaster? Aren't you a supernatural power user?"
The commander of the "Undying Pigeon" Legion nearly popped his eyes out.
It had been understood that he was a supernatural power user, but in the blink of an eye, things had changed, and he was a Mage instead. What in the world was going on?
The only certainty was that the Supernatural Ability Suppressant hadn't had its intended effect, as it only works on special abilities and cannot suppress spells, Battle Qi, or Curse Magic.
"Hahaha, of course it's tactical deception—how could I just casually reveal my cards to others?"
This truly was Chen Fei's real tactical deception, utterly disorienting his opponent.
To some extent, the enemy had abducted him to the camp to weaken the defensive force of the Ground Portal Gate Management Substation, but his seizing the opportunity to infiltrate deep into their den and create chaos was also a way to diminish the combat power of the Undying Pigeon Legion. As each side wore the other down, the current situation ended up completely contrary to Valenya's intention, turning out to be a case of trying to steal a chicken only to lose the rice, literally lifting a rock only to drop it on their own foot, which was quite a painful experience.
In the midst of conversation, the gigantified "Dragon King" Assault Heavy Armor suddenly flashed a figure from behind, its black Battle Qi Flame rising furiously, both hands holding a sword plunging fiercely into the giant-like tactical armor's back vest.
Chen Fei's true body was hidden right at the chest and abdomen.
Taking advantage of Chen Fei being distracted by the Legion Commander, a Heavenly Order War Professional seized the opportunity to launch a surprise attack.
Boom!~
The "Dragon King" Assault Heavy Armor's back air wave erupted, both "Air Burst (2)" Magic Arrays activated full force, coupled with a Repulsion Shield, immediately repelled the back-stabbing Heavenly Order War Professional, quickly creating distance between them.
The gigantified mode "Dragon King" Assault Heavy Armor, loaded with numerous Magic Arrays, actually had even better defense at the back. If the opponent had opted for a direct frontal assault, this unexpected stabbing might have succeeded.
A gigantic fireball, about the height of a person, suddenly descended from the sky, seeming to be alive as it dove towards the maneuvering gigantified mode "Dragon King" Assault Heavy Armor. As soon as the intense infrared heat response got close, the artificial intelligence AI "Adam" immediately alerted Chen Fei.
"Switch Magic Arrays, load 'Light Distortion (1)', 'Mist (1)', 'Water Bubble (1)', and 'Constant Temperature (1)'; 'Blazing Flame Bullet (1)' ×4, fire rapidly ten times, 30mm Railgun 500 rounds burst."
As soon as Chen Fei finished speaking, the Magic Array switch, now almost instantaneously completed, received the drive support from AI "Adam."
The light around the gigantified mode "Dragon King" Assault Heavy Armor unnaturally distorted, white fog rapidly spread in all directions, concealing its form; simultaneously, red flashes occurred continuously within the fog zone, and rank two Human Order Fire Spells "Blazing Flame Bullets" shot out. Without a definitive target, they landed variously around the camp, mingled with massive kinetic energy carrying 30mm full steel blades that swept through the entire encampment in a wide arc.
Boom!~
The Rebel Army spellcaster's preemptively cast Earth Order rank one Fire Spells "Sunset Fireball" finally hit the ground. The intense heat radiated drove the fog away and engulfed the gigantified mode "Dragon King" Assault Heavy Armor's position concealed by thick fog with deadly accuracy.
A robust pillar of fire shot up to the sky, reaching heights of over a hundred meters, and the dust raised even formed a terrifying mushroom cloud.
However, within the relentless rolling smoke, a transparent sphere of crystalline color could vaguely be seen about thirty meters from the "Sunset Fireball"'s impact location. The gigantified mode "Dragon King" Assault Heavy Armor, which should have been obliterated, appeared unscathed at the center of this transparent spherical space.
"Mist (1)" covered up the sleight-of-hand effect of "Light Distortion (1)", distorting the real location of the gigantified mode "Dragon King" Assault Heavy Armor, making the Earth Order rank one Fire Spell hit nothing but an illusion. "Water Bubble (1)" and "Constant Temperature (1)" formed a temporary space that restricted temperature fluctuations, together with "Wind Magic Shield (12)", withstood the residual effects of the spell, becoming a small haven in the midst of a fiery hell.
The various interconnected Magic Arrays worked in harmony, allowing the attacking spellcaster's carefully prepared spell strike to completely miss its mark.
Even though the surface of the gigantified mode "Dragon King" Assault Heavy Armor was hot enough to fry eggs, this temperature was barely enough to heat water for Chen Fei's foot bath.
Chen Fei's counterattack brought a new round of chaos to the Undying Pigeon Legion, a flurry of activity and both direct and indirect casualties doubled than before.
The "Dragon King" Assault Heavy Armor quickly canceled gigantification mode, reducing its size and consequently making it a smaller target, seizing the chaos to break out of the camp.
Chen Fei was not foolish, knowing when to withdraw.
"He missed! That guy is running!"
An Ability User skilled in Psychic Series Skills quickly locked onto Chen Xiao'er, who was sneakily fleeing, and immediately yelled out.
"Block him, everyone block him, at all costs."
The Legion Commander of the Undying Pigeon Legion bellowed furiously.
What does a crowd trying to catch a mouse look like?
Of course, it's a chaotic scramble, hands and feet everywhere, accidents frequent, and various things inevitably getting destroyed—it was still uncertain if they could even catch the mouse in the end.
What do you think?
