It was only at this point that the person standing atop the Electric Dragon managed to deal with all the AGM-114 Hellfire missiles chasing them, preventing further damage to the Vatican. Then, she discovered that the drone was flying at high-speed through the streets of Rome, and, waving her magic wand, she prepared to strike the drone with lightning.

Flying close to the ground, the drone was targeted by streaks of electrical light from the sky attempting to attack it. However, the buildings on the ground provided obstruction, giving Yan Fei much more room to maneuver. The drone zigzagged left and right as the lightning bolts, unable to change direction quickly enough, struck the buildings on either side of the street, missing the drone by a hair's breadth.

Because she had to focus all her attention on controlling the lightning to strike the drone, the person on the Electric Dragon gradually fell behind. Once the drone had put enough distance between them, it climbed rapidly, reaching an altitude of thirty thousand meters in a very short time. At that altitude, the person standing on the Electric Dragon could no longer reach the drone with her attacks.

Realizing he had finally shaken off the terrifying enemy, Yan Fei's back was soaked in cold sweat. He had not anticipated the world harboring such a formidable opponent whose attack method was the terrifyingly powerful lightning. From her performance, she had shown herself to be a true master of lightning. Luckily, Yan Fei's will was firm, or else a moment's carelessness might have left him paralyzed by the lightning, unable to move, and then at the mercy of his enemies.

When the drone had first entered the Rome City area, it was already detected by the Italian military's radar. To ensure safety, it now had to fly at an altitude of thirty kilometers, and so it was quickly locked onto by Italian radars, followed by two anti-aircraft missiles soaring towards it. After a series of high-speed maneuvers, the drone could see the coastline of the distant sea ahead. He looked back at the anti-aircraft missiles catching up from behind and intended to use the aircraft cannon shells to destroy them. But then, a thought occurred to him, and a plan formed in his mind.

So, the drone, which could have quickly dealt with the two anti-aircraft missiles, did not take any other action but continued to fly at its own speed. When the drone was over thirty kilometers out to sea, the two anti-aircraft missiles finally caught up with the leading drone.

The drone quickly lowered its flight altitude and, as the anti-aircraft missiles were about to hit, it used its on-board naval gun to destroy the missiles. Then, amidst the fiery explosion of the missiles, it plunged into the sea. Meanwhile, on the radar of the distant Italian Air Defense System, what showed up was the destruction of the mysterious aircraft by their own missiles, with the aircraft's wreckage believed to have sunk into the sea.

Yan Fei adopted this tactic because he had just realized something–that this would probably be the last time the Level 4 drone would appear before the public. After the drone's upgrade, the F-15-skinned drone would disappear from public view completely. In its place would emerge a drone with a brand new appearance. If the F-15-skinned drone vanished, and a powerful new fighter aircraft appeared in the world, people might speculate whether the new fighter was an upgrade from the F-15. This could lead some to guess the connection between these drones and, by following a trail of subtle clues, discover that the true identity behind the Destroyer was Yan Fei.

Allowing the F-15-skinned drone to be destroyed by the Italian anti-aircraft missiles here meant that even if people were suspicious, they would only assume the drone was destroyed by the missiles, and not think in any other direction, especially not that a brand-new fighter could have evolved from this F-15-skinned fighter jet.

Under Yan Fei's orchestration, and aided by the Italian anti-aircraft missiles, the F-15-skinned drone made a perfect exit from the public eye. The moment it hit the water, it sank to the sea floor, six hundred meters down, and began to move southeastward, heading back towards domestic China.
