Chapter 1301: 421. Over-sized and inappropriate_3

From this, a very typical scene in space battle emerged:

The little ships devour the big ones.

Hundreds to thousands of players transformed into an equal number of ultra-high-speed drones.

While possessing the maneuverability of light drones, each of their defensive capabilities rivaled that of escort ships.

The turrets of the transport fleet could neither catch up with them nor, once caught up, could they overpower them.

The entire fleet was suddenly thrust into a reactive and pummeled state.

...

The players maintained high-speed movement, using the “Wand Summoning Spell” to create temporary magic wands as casting mediums.

With the aid of the temporary wand, they activated attack spells with their minds, unleashing the power of magic onto the battleships.

Bolts of lightning, huge fireballs, frost breath, acid spray, metal piercing, and continuous gusts of wind.

Every attack spell listed in the Spell List was thrown at the battleships in various ways by the players.

Even the ships’ shields flickered with dense ripples, blocking all the players’ spells.

“Whoa~ So exhilarating~”

“Let my magic tear you to shreds~”

“Face my fury~”

The players shouted these cheesy slogans, but soon realized something was amiss.

Their magic didn’t seem as strong as they had imagined; it merely rippled the enemy shields but couldn’t break through them at all.

They guessed that the speed at which they were damaging the shield wasn’t even as fast as the speed at which the shield was repairing itself.

What’s worse, the Artificial Angels had the capability to deal with a large number of highly maneuverable targets.

They abandoned the “Stop Field” and instead released the “Traction Field.”

Traction, as the name implies, is a gravitational wave used to pull targets towards the source of the field.

Any player hit by the Traction Field found themselves moving uncontrollably towards the Artificial Angels.

This was extremely deadly for the players who were fast-moving but not heavy enough. noveldrama

Because only objects with enough mass could counter the constraining force from the “Traction Field”.

Just like the ships that were being irritably circled by the players, unmoved in the “Traction Field”.

Seeing the ships unaffected by the “Traction Field” while they themselves were involuntarily pulled toward the Artificial Angels, the players once again complained in the voice chat.

This time, before the female Commander who was directing them could speak, the players encountered a stroke of luck.

Noland Lee, aboard the Heavy Transport Ship, knew it was time to lend a helping hand.

The Three Ring Magic he provided to the players was insufficient for the situation at hand.

Fortunately, Noland had kept a backup plan.

He silently sent a hint message to the players on the scene.

[Attention! Please start chanting the “Joint Casting Spell” now!]

“Joint Casting Spell? What is that?”

With their minds full of question marks, the players located the spell in the Spell List and activated it.

Guided by the spell, they began to chant the arcane incantation on their own.

Once the chanting was done, Noland raised his right hand and snapped his fingers lightly, activating the Spell Bomb he had planted on the Artificial Angels!

“Bang bang bang bang——”

Space couldn’t carry sound, but every player who saw the scene mentally added the explosive noises.

The Artificial Angels releasing the “Traction Field” blew up one after another.

The explosions originated behind their necks, near the spinal area.

Strangely, the instantaneous high temperature and intense luminosity from the blast didn’t spread out in a spherical shape, but were instead forcefully twisted into sharp blades of light that horizontally sliced through the Artificial Angels’ necks.

In an instant, 20 Artificial Angels were decapitated, their colossal heads drifting slowly sideways, with thick streams of blood spurting from the smooth wounds.

Both the players and the armed staff on the transport fleet widened their pupils, deeply shocked.

The formidable power of joint casting was displayed before the players for the first time.

But only Noland knew this was merely a smokescreen.

He had merely used the collective casting of the players as a cover to conceal his own covert action of eliminating the Artificial Angels.
