Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 599: Number

(As the war on Planet Paradise came to an end, the atmosphere on Earth's Babylonian floating island grew solemn as the day of departure drew nearer.

On this day, in Castle Ugarte, Ellen put on the armor that the Magic Martial Factory had hurried out of for him, "Blade", and arrived at the clan's arena. Three or five guards were practicing fighting in the arena. When they saw Alan, they all straightened up to show their respect for the young expert. Most of these people had seen Allen and Rena compete and saw that Allen had condensed his own Progenitor Projection at the nineteenth level. Unless he had another goal, no one would have any respect for him.

Especially on the battlefield, if there was another powerful person like Alan, these guards would have a chance to survive.

However, the guards' gazes at Allen's armor were a little strange. It wasn't how powerful Allen's blade armor was, but it was just too ugly. The entire armor was ashen, as if it had just been taken out of a warehouse where dust had accumulated for many years, and it was even less attractive than the standard armor worn by the guards. Moreover, there were some scratches and paint on the armor. It was hard to imagine that this was a piece of equipment that had just descended from the factory production line.

Originally, when they heard that this young master wanted to test the performance of this newly produced armor, the guards were mostly excited, but now, they were somewhat disappointed to see it.

Alan put these people's expressions in his eyes and instead revealed a smile on his face.

The guards did not know that when the blade armor was first delivered to him, it could only be described as dazzling. The suit of armor features a bright red hue, with two striking colors, gold and silver, to depict the flames and blades. When he first saw the blade armor, the armor was simply gorgeous to the point of being a complete mess. However, this was not what Alan wanted. Wearing such a gorgeous set of armor and roaming the dangerous battlefield, he was afraid that he would become a living target in the eyes of the enemy. Thus, without affecting the armor's defensive power, Allen made his own move to recoat the armor and deliberately camouflaged some parts of the armor so that the blade armor did not look like a magical weapon at all. josei

According to Allen's request, a steel puppet arrived at the arena via a conveyor belt. Alan casually picked up a blunt steel saber. First, he casually chopped down on the puppet, but he was indeed unable to cut through the armor on the puppet's body. Alan nodded. The armor was strong enough to be used as a test equipment. Next, he took a deep breath and activated the sequence in the armor. With the activation of the Sharp Charge ability, a layer of white light immediately dyed the steel saber. Even if it was a training equipment that didn't even start, it still had a sharp taste.

At this time, there were finally a few onlookers around Allen. They looked at the hazy white light on the blade and began to discuss what kind of ability it was. At this moment, Alan suddenly raised his saber and chopped down. Without any momentum, it looked more like a casual attack, but it easily tore a hole in the puppet's armor.

Immediately, the surrounding guards quieted down, and everyone opened their mouths wide. If it was a sharp saber and Alan poured his Origin Energy into it, they wouldn't find it surprising even if they split the steel puppet in half, let alone tear apart the armor. However, it was a blunt saber, and it seemed that Alan didn't attack seriously. Even if he used Origin Energy, it had to be limited.

However, it was such a casual saber strike that tore apart the armor of the puppet, and the meaning was completely different.

The white light on the saber was fading away. Sharp sprinting was a permanent ability, and the consumption of Origin Energy was very limited. With Allen's current Origin Energy level, it was sufficient to maintain this ability and support a complete battle. The sharp sprint's armor-piercing performance was a bit worse than Allen had predicted, but it was still within acceptable limits. With the support of this ability, if he encountered an opponent who wore heavy armor or was skilled in using Origin Energy protection, Allen would be able to break through the opponent's defense by three points.

As for the other ability, Blade Wings, he looked at the surrounding guards and shrugged. He decided not to use it here. According to his design, the visual effects of the blade wings were much more dazzling than those of a sharp sprint. He had already received enough attention, and Allen did not intend to make himself even more dazzling.

When he left the arena, he happened to bump into Belmond. Alan simply brought him back to the wing tower's residence and handed him a suitcase. Belmond asked with a blank expression, "What is this?"

"Open it and find out."

Belmond opened the box. There were some armor components in the box. He was stunned, then raised his head and said, "Magic energy armor?"

Alan nodded.

He shook his head and said, "I don't need it."

"Don't refuse in a hurry." Ellen walked to the table and poured a glass of water for the two of them. "I know you're not used to wearing armor. One is a habit problem, and the other is that the armor is affecting your speed."

"When using Shadow Passage, the metal material will also affect the stability of the Shadow Passage." Belmond added.

"I know, so this armor is made of nanometer materials. There is no metal ingredient in it. You can try it on."

Belmond picked up the breastplate part of the letter doubtfully. As expected, the weight in his hand was very light. It was no different from an outer garment. He simply took off his long coat and put on the armor in the box one by one. This set of armor was mainly black, and the energy conduction patterns were transparent. Only when the ability was activated would a dark red light gush out. The design of the armor emphasizes flexibility at the expense of some of its defensive capabilities. However, Ellen had also designed thicker sandwiches for important parts like his chest. When the sequence of armor was activated, two dark red Origin Energy flames would shoot out from the back of the shoulders, resembling two dark red cloaks.

However, this is not for decorative considerations of the design, in fact, it is the ability to activate the "invasion" phenomenon. The Origin Energy particles that made up the cloak would merge into Belmond's own ability, making his offensive ability more penetrating. It was similar to a sharp sprint, but the sharp sprint paid more attention to the effect of physical breakthrough.

After listening to Allen explain the performance of the armor, Belmond was very satisfied and said, "Thank you for all you have done for me, Young Master."

"Nothing much. You are my follower, and I have to take responsibility for your life. Also, you don't want Qila to be sad, do you? Wear this armor at all times."

The thickness of the night hunter was comparable to a leather garment, and it wouldn't feel bloated even if he put on his coat. Even if he wore it at all times, it wouldn't be a problem. Belmond obeyed and nodded to cover his coat. If he didn't have the ability to activate it, the armor would be pitch black like a lining, and he wouldn't be able to see anything special about it.

"We're leaving in a few days. Young Master, how are you preparing?"

Allen looked out of the window at the blue sky. On a clear day, two patrol airships flashed past, leaving behind long, light-colored tail flames. "What should be prepared is ready. Relax for the next few days. After all, it's time for a series of bitter battles."

"Yes, what kind of place is the Rudson Domain?" Belmond's face was filled with anticipation.

Alan glanced at him and smiled, "I'll know when I get there."

Time passed day by day, and it was finally time to set off. Before the sun rose, Horn stood outside the castle gates and looked up at the ancient castle built by his ancestors. "We were originally just an unknown family," Horn said leisurely. "Even when Babylon was built, many of our ancestors were just one of countless ordinary workers. It wasn't until Babylon was completed and the Federation launched an expedition that our family had the chance to rise to prominence. The foundations of this castle were made of countless bones of Bescot. Inside it resides the heroic spirits of our family's ancestors. "

"The reason why Beth Cod is here today is because of the hard work of generations of Beth Cod. They have sacrificed their blood and sweat to build our glory today." Horn paused and said, "Forty years ago, I gave this family a new honor. Today, I want to know if you are willing to create a new glory for this family!"

He finally turned around. Behind him were a group of soldiers, as well as important clan members like Roddy and Allen. When Horn's gaze swept across their faces, including Alan, the fire in everyone's hearts burned.

"We are willing to sacrifice everything for our clan!" Almost everyone shouted at the same time. The roar was like thunder. Even the distant town of Levin could be clearly heard.

This was a sense of belonging to Beth Cod. In order to defend the honor of the clan, even a weak sheep could turn into a ferocious wolf!

Horn was very satisfied with everyone's gazes. He nodded and said succinctly, "Very well, I will prepare fine wine and delicacies for you to return. And now, there is only one thing you have to do."

"Let's go!"

One magic energy flying car after another was ready, and Horn ordered everyone to drill into the flying car. However, Roddy and the others had to head to the harbor first, then board the Chengfei to the surface, and finally set off from the surface base with the entire Fierce Vulture crew. As for Allen, who chose to hunt freely, he went straight to the harbor and set off on the Dawn. But when Alan was about to leave, Horn stopped him.

"Alan, there's someone who wants to act with you. I hope you won't refuse." Horn smiled.

"Who is it?"

Horn beckoned to the distance, "Come on, boy."

Alan followed his line of sight and a domineering figure immediately squeezed into his eyes. Reina, who was wearing the armor of the Volcano, strode over with a stern face and a war hammer covered in spikes. Ellen narrowed his eyes and asked in surprise, "Isn't Big Brother Rena leaving with Lie Jiu?"

"No, Reina also chose to hunt freely. I think instead of letting you fight on your own, it would be better to let the two of you act together so as to enhance brotherhood." Horn patted Ellen on the shoulder. "You're not going to refuse, are you?"
