Sky-cracking Rider
Chapter 847 - 847: Section 841 - Killing Formation

Relying on the "Illumination Technique (1)" magic array, each "Battlefield Illusion Mirror" emitted a faint glow, making the interior surrounded by over a thousand "Battlefield Illusion Mirrors" not dark at all. Instead, due to the reflection of the image of six-legged monster insects in the mirror, it presented a kaleidoscopic and dazzling visual effect.

The six-legged monster insect hesitated, not daring to act rashly before figuring out the dazzling objects. The previous laser net made these hexagonal floating mirrors seem not as simple as they appeared on the surface.

The images reflected by the mirror were not just its own mirror images; there was an endless spatial feeling.

The First Airship Combat Cluster shifted its combat target and alternately fired laser beams at the fighter bugs emerging from the "Wormhole Cloud," mixed with some fierce monsters, all traditional products of the "Wormhole Cloud."

On the circular floating platform, the ability users who had barely caught their breath suspiciously watched the continuously rotating "Battlefield Illusion Mirrors," each speculating on their actual purpose.

"That thing is trapped inside."

"What are all those mirrors for?"

Originally, they thought being the bait would be extremely tough, but they didn't expect to complete their temporary mission smoothly after less than two rounds of battle.

Though the ability users on the floating platform were temporarily in a wait-and-see state, they did not relax their vigilance, maintaining a highly guarded posture as if facing a formidable enemy. Spellcasters and supernatural power users immediately took potions to accelerate the recovery of magic power and spiritual power, readying for the next great battle.

The "Battlefield Illusion Mirror"'s body had limited defensive power, otherwise, it wouldn't have been clawed open by the six-legged monster insect. However, its strength lay in its large number and super-strong "self-healing" capability, making the incredibly powerful six-legged monster insect give up on continuing to destroy these hexagonal mirrors at first sight. After all, even after painstakingly destroying over a dozen, the numbers did not diminish much; the previously destroyed mirrors had restored themselves. Such destruction would be in vain and a waste of effort.

"Squeak! ~"

A fierce and sharp mental shock erupted once again. However, the dense "Battlefield Illusion Mirrors" weakened this intangible and formless attack layer by layer, finally preventing even a bit from leaking out.

They unexpectedly intercepted the most proud attack of the parasitic species.

Feeling impatient, the six-legged monster insect summoned an abnormal airflow around it, continuously propelling crescent-shaped wind blades towards those "Battlefield Illusion Mirrors."

Besides their innate powerful mental strength, the parasitic species could also harness elemental energy, just not as skillfully as they did with mental power.

The titanium alloy body of the "Battlefield Illusion Mirror" possessed 101 magic array inscription units. In terms of magic array selection, it had considerable leeway. Besides "Repulsion Shield" for withstanding a certain level of physical attacks, it also had various elemental magic shields for protecting against spell attacks.

The dense wind blades did not produce a chaotic scene of breaking mirrors; instead, they were gradually neutralized by even more numerous magic shields, leaving the mirror surfaces intact.

The "Battlefield Illusion Mirrors," manufactured using over 5,000 energy points and over 1,000 "Super Star Crystals," had successfully achieved a qualitative transformation through sheer quantity.

The six-legged monster insect finally realized it was in a passive situation and did not hesitate any longer. With a sharp shriek, it chose a random direction, flapped its wings, and charged forward, attempting to break through the center of the layers of hexagonal mirror circling.

At this moment, a "Mirror Image" slammed into the body of the six-legged monster insect with lightning speed...

Inside the giant ball formed by the "Battlefield Illusion Mirrors," a sudden bright light seemed to burst forth dazzlingly.

The next second, the tightly packed "Battlefield Illusion Mirrors" scattered, and two figures chased each other out. Inside the dense hexagonal mirrors, many were tottering, becoming tattered, with even less than a third remaining in some cases.

Several ability users on the circular floating platform couldn't help but rub their eyes.

"What's going on? Why are there two?"

"Where's the 'Rookie' mech?"

"Another bug appeared. Is this Multiplicity Technique or infighting?"

Everyone witnessing this scene was stunned.

In a flash, the humanoid combat mobility armor had disappeared, and another identical opponent appeared. The two were chasing each other, but it was hard to distinguish who was allied and who was the real enemy.

However, the Command Team on the No.2 flagship outside the "Arena" and the Sovereignty Combat Spaceship in the distance could clearly identify one of the six-legged monster insects as Chen Fei, as it was actively emitting a friend-or-foe identification signal, preventing any misidentification.

On the other hand, the other six-legged monster insect was missing two slender transparent wings out of the six on its back, leaving less than a foot of the base in a ragged state. The remaining four wings were shaking clumsily with sharp claws. Its left front limb had been mostly cut off, splattering black liquid occasionally from the wound, clearly suffering a significant injury.

The missing pair of wings significantly impacted the flight capability of the six-legged monster insect. Moreover, the lost front limb disrupted its balance. In contrast, the other "six-legged monster insect" was not only intact but also relentlessly pursued with increasing vigor.

The fake Li was hammered by the real Li Kui, shocking everyone. Half of the face was almost wiped out by the big slap.

The over a thousand "Battlefield Illusion Mirrors" reflected over a thousand images of either party, gradually numbing anyone over time. Furthermore, the sudden appearance of an identical entity was simply indefensible.

Over a long period of observation and scanning, Chen Fei successfully replicated the six-legged monster insect, even perfectly mimicking its actions and postures.

The parasitic species inside the six-legged monster insect was probably cursing at this moment, wondering who the hell was this person with no sense of honor in a fight!

Mistaking it for its own mirror image, the parasitic species suffered a substantial loss without any defense, narrowly escaping death.

Chen Fei and the parasitic species were in similar states, hiding within their respective "hosts." The former was within a mechanical body, while the latter was inside a true biological body.

In some sense, their clash also represented a collision between two civilization's technological systems.

Taking advantage of the enemy's injury meant to take their life, Chen Fei had no intention of letting the wounded six-legged monster insect go so easily; the scales had tilted in his favor.

Today is a good day, belonging to Fire in the Five Elements. Suitable for traveling, fighting, relentlessly pursuing, completely exterminating, and pulling out by the roots. Avoid surrender, fleeing, or lying flat.

No words needed, just take you down directly!

Chen Fei, piloting his remodeled mobility armor (shifted from humanoid to insect form), drove the wounded six-legged monster insect towards the circular floating platform, planning to create a situation for flanking.

The rule of "Arena" allowing only entry and no exit finally played a positive role, making it impossible for the parasitic species to escape far away.

Staring intently at the two monster's mobile trajectories, as they drew closer to the floating platform, the ability users, who had been on high alert, immediately set up their formations.

All of them heard the communication officer's reminder in their ears.

"Attention, the one behind is friendly; attack the wounded one in front!"

The human eye might be deceived, but the friend-or-foe identification response module would not make mistakes.

"Here it comes! Get ready!"

The War Professionals, who had previously been struggling with the great swords against the six-legged monster insects, erupted with a distinctive blue Wind Battle Qi Flame, took a running start, leaping out to meet the approaching wounded monster insect.

The Great Sword emitted Sword Qi spanning ten feet, crackling intensely.

This was an all-out, no-holds-barred strike.

"Defend!"

"Stack Wind Wings!"

"Pull him back!"

On the floating platform, the ability users yelled, each displaying their abilities: those boosting buffers boosted buffs, those pulling people back pulled people back, and those preparing to launch coordinated attacks launched coordinated attacks, each doing their part, all contributing with their full strength.

The frantically chased six-legged monster insect did not expect the humans on the circular floating platform not only didn't defend on the spot but also dared to launch a counterattack. Unexpectedly, it got a sharp Wind Battle Qi right in its face.

Even hastily released magic shields were still broken through by the fully powered Sword Qi.

Two antennae were cut off, and from the left primary compound eye all the way to below the right primary compound eye, including several small secondary eyes, were slashed open.

A full-powered strike from an Earth-Order War Professional was absolutely formidable.

The Sword Qi exhausted, even before the warrior could fall back, he was dragged back to the floating platform by the applied Wind Wings and Psi Skills, just in time to avoid the wounded monster insect's counterattack.

"Well done, Michigan!"

"That was a hell of a sword strike!"

A cheer erupted across the manned airships.

A blue-white beam suddenly shot from behind the wounded six-legged monster insect. The "six-legged monster insect" replicated and evolved by Chen Fei was not only in perfect form but still essentially a combat mobility armor, retaining all essential functional modules. A particle beam shot from its mouth. The real six-legged monster insect immediately perceived the threat and dodged sideways with all its might. Although it barely avoided the fatal shot, its four membrane wings were badly damaged, with no complete wing left. At best, they retained sixty to seventy percent of their original length. The entire figure tumbled in the sky, unable to maintain stability.

The six-legged monster insect deployed Wind Wings, encapsulating itself in blue wing shadows, attempting to regain flying ability.

However, the Wind Wings' agility was far inferior to the primary slender membrane wings, making its struggling flight posture extremely clumsy, which, under the circumstances, was fatal.
