Chapter 1062 Facing Abnormality

Chapter 1062 Facing Abnormality

*BANG!!!!

Crashing through the castle gates, Glen summoned two swords and cleaved towards the guards that blocked their path.

Shoving them aside, securing the castle itself wasn’t too hard since most of the priority targets have been killed by the snipers. All that’s left is to take care of the ones that were fleeing the scene.

While he was leading a group of mechs to deal with them, a portal opened in front of the castle.

Stepping through, Lisandra glanced up at the castle.

Seeing the burn marks with clean holes in the walls, she couldn’t help but pity the high priority targets. They died without even being able to put up a fight.

If it was her, she would have wanted at least to land a hit before dying.

Shaking her head, she was about to enter when a flower pattern started to emerge above their current location.

Feeling the mana gather towards the centre, she widened her eyes.

"Mum, there’s a slight change in the situation." Lisandra said as she activated her earpiece.

"I know. I’m looking at it right now. From the runes, it seems like it’s a large scale Throne World. Whoever set this up is planning to grab everyone here and drag them somewhere." Shiro replied as she narrowed her eyes.

Biting her lip, she remembered what Nan Tian had told her earlier. How she should trust in their capabilities more and not put everything on her own shoulders.

Grabbing Nan Tian’s sleeve, she tightened her grip.

"Lisandra, I trust that you can deal with it. There’s not much that is known about this Queen so you’ll need to be careful. I’ve already sent a notice to Keiko and she’s on the way there for support. With the two of you, killing a tier 6 Queen should be easy." Shiro said as Lisandra couldn’t help but pause for a moment.

She knew that Shiro worried a lot when it comes to their safety and if possible, she would take care of all the unknown variables before sending them to do anything. The fact that she is voluntarily sending her to fight the Queen means that she has put a lot of trust in her capabilities. Feeling warm inside, Lisandra couldn’t suppress her smile.

"Mn, I’ll be careful."

Ending the call, Lisandra could feel energy course through her body as this was a task given to her. Which meant that her power was boosted.

Unfurling her wings behind her, she could see that golden patterns with runes within them started to spread themselves out while the corruption seemed to be pushed back. Previously, her wings were half white half black but now it was leaning towards the light side.

"Attention all mech pilots. This is Lisandra and I’ll be taking over command for this operation for now. We’re going to be engaging against a Queen soon. All melee Units prepare yourself. Long ranged casters, I want you to be at the castle in the next 30 seconds or else you’ll be left out." Lisandra commanded as she flew into the sky. Hovering above the castle, she summoned two long swords and combined them into a greatsword.

Stabbing down, a pulse of energy spread out as all of the pilots received a buff thanks to one of her skills.

For the next hour, they’ll experience a 200% boost to all stats. Unfortunately, this was a skill that only worked with those lower than tier 5.

[Ray of Hope]

As the Divine Judgement Archangel, you will become a ray of hope for the soldiers on the battlefield.

Once per day, you can activate this skill and those below tier 5 will receive the following benefits.

200% boost to all stats

100% light elemental damage to all attacks

80% fire elemental damage to all attacks

50% chance for any attack to double up and strike again

(This skill will affect anyone you deem as an ally. Can buff up to 10,000 allies.)

With this skill activated, everyone within the mechs felt invigorated as the mechs reacted to this change and started to adapt.

Each of the standard mechs was now decorated with white armour that had golden markings, making them look like paladins under Lisandra’s command.

It didn’t take long for the casters to arrive, especially after receiving her buff. While it may not improve the power of their mechs tremendously, it meant that the pilots could withstand more backlash from the controls, allowing them to improve their effectiveness with the mechs.

Once the casters arrived, the flower pattern in the sky was now closing in on them.

Suddenly, even the artillery units in the distance were teleported in.

Raising an eyebrow, Lisandra realised that everyone who participated was now ’trapped’ beneath the flower.

"Dome formation! Artillery in the centre, casters in behind the tanks!" Shiina commanded as everyone got into position immediately.

Seeing their response time, Lisandra nodded in satisfaction.

"Set all skills on ready to fire. Depending on the situation, be ready to attack on my command." Lisandra ordered as the artillery bunkered down.

Spikes shot out from their backs, locked them to their spot as giant rail cannons appeared on their shoulders.

With the tank units holding giant shields that protected them from all sides, they looked like a hedgehog that had rail guns instead of quills.

Watching their surroundings distort, light started to fade as they were in total darkness. They couldn’t even see the people next to them even though they were side by side.

"Do not panic." Lisandra called out as she had been trained for a situation like this by Shiro. If your sight has been robbed, empower the other senses. Map out the area using mana.

Like a radar, mana pulsed out from Lisandra as she realised they had been surrounded on all sides. Several tier 6 spells were aimed towards them as she spotted a few tier 6 beings along with what seems to be a woman. Her features were blurred since Lisandra hadn’t mastered this technique yet but there was no reason to remember someone who was about to die.

Before the Queen could say anything, Lisandra raised her blade and swiped horizontally.

Swords made from light formed around her and shot out.

*BANG!!!

Crashing into some of the spells and halting them temporarily, Lisandra took a deep breath.

"Unload everything you have! Tanks raise your defence and don’t let anything past!"

Upon hearing her command, mana flared from each of the mechs as illusionary castle walls appeared around them due to the innate skills of the shields. Rail guns fired, splitting into several beams and tearing apart anything it touched.

As for Glen, he charged forth with his mech. Thanks to Shiro’s training, he was able to get a little glimpse into the realm of Boundary but it was for a brief moment. But this brief moment was all that he needed to cause chaos in their ranks. Like a blender, he shredded through their backline thanks to the speed boost he got from the Takemikazuchi Technique, letting him bypass their front line.

Taking a step back in surprise, the Queen looked at everything in shock since this had never happened before. One of her main skills was that she could rob someone of their senses and drag them into her throne world. She was one of the ’lesser’ Queens but she was still able to hold her own or at least escape thanks to this. But looking at the current situation, she couldn’t help but wonder if her powers were broken.

None of them seemed affected and the ones that are were firing blindly. Despite them firing blindly, their weapons were so powerful that no one could stand up to them.

Suddenly, a flicker of light appeared beside her as Lisandra’s sword cleaved towards her neck.

*PING!!!

Blocking the strike with a dagger, the Queen took a few steps back but Lisandra pressed forth.

Grabbing her wrist, Lisandra pulled the Queen slower to her and summoned a myriad of blades.

"You should have left immediately rather than fight us."

Elbowing the Queen in the jaw, Lisandra’s sword pierced her body and shredded her in half. However, just as this happened, the body seemed to fade away to smoke.

Realising it was probably an escape skill, Lisandra clicked her tongue.

"Tch..." Wanting to chase, her earpiece lit up.

"Don’t worry, your Aunt’s got you covered." Keomi chuckled as Lisandra shrugged and gave up the chase.

If Keiko says she’s got it covered, Lisandra knew that she wouldn’t need to worry about the Queen escaping anymore.

###

"Ha... ha... ha...." Panting heavily, the Queen was dashing away from the area while keeping her Throne World activated in order to delay them.

Blood dripped from her stomach as there was a charred stab wound that was left by Lisandra’s sword.

"What the hell." She muttered with a frown. Despite the two of them being tier 6, she knew that the angel woman far outclassed her. Just that single exchange told her that the stat disparity was enough for that woman to just brute force a victory without any skill.

’Too abnormal.’ She thought to herself.

Suddenly, a flash of light appeared.

"!!!"

Widening her eyes, the Queen watched as a dagger pierced her throat before black runes slithered across her skin like corruption.

"First assassination against a Queen, my lucky day." Keiko smiled as the black runes started to melt the Queen’s body.

With a single flick of her dagger, the head and body was separated in one swift motion.
