Chapter 2601 Armed War Maiden 3
The dim, yellow sky, like a bronze bell worn dull by sand, hung low over the city of yellow sand.
Twelve armed battle maidens formed a semi-circle, their black battle robes fluttering without wind, their eyes gleaming with cold red matrices.
Zhang Yi stood in mid-air, holding his knife. All things in the universe condensed into a thin shell that clung to his body, and the second hand of time gently turned a page in the depths of his pupils.
He exhaled and fell silent, as if shutting off all the noise in the world at once.
Before any of the armed battle maidens realized what was happening, Zhang Yi's Divine Refining Demon Blade had already cleaved the armed battle maiden's head in two.
The pale red light flashed briefly in the center of the war maiden's breastplate before disappearing, and her entire body silently split into two pieces, the metallic blood mist turning into dark silver dust in the wind.
Her greatsword fell to the ground with a "clang," half of it embedding itself in the sand and creating ripples.
The remaining twelve people showed no joy or sorrow, but simply pulled their formation inward by half a step, shrinking as if their hearts were in sync.
"Instantaneous attack, no attack trajectory detected."
"Suspected time-based ability. Countermeasures: None at the moment, but based on the target's energy reaction, it should be impossible to continue using this ability."
"Tighten the defensive line."
The remaining twelve armed battle maidens quickly made the most appropriate response.
The three men on the right front raised their arms simultaneously, the spinal fins of the hand cannons stood up, and the muzzle narrowed into a thin line, which was a wave of energy gathering.
Three beams of energy pierced the air silently, while the heatwave created invisible ripples in the air.
"After taking down one, can your teamwork still be so flawless with the remaining twelve?"
Zhang Yi flashed, becoming a thin tangent line between the door edges.
Even without the ability to teleport, he is still incredibly fast as a top-tier space-type ability user.
He swept past the bombardment of three energy cannons; the perfect prediction of the second hand of time allowed him to pass through a sea of flowers without a single petal touching him.
He drew his sword across his chest, and the Netherworld Burial transformed into a surging black tide, engulfing the overflowing heat.
Two war maidens on the left flank soared into the sky, blocking Zhang Yi's path.
Instead of engaging in direct close combat, they first used laser light to draw two extremely thin arcs in the air, and the intersection of the arcs fell precisely at the thinnest point on the outer edge of the myriad phenomena.
They concentrated their firepower, attempting to break through Zhang Yi's defenses.
Zhang Yi swung his sword backhand, and the winding river of the Netherworld, upon touching the opponent's laser beam, absorbed it completely in an instant.
However, as soon as he stopped, a thick layer of white frost suddenly formed on the ground beneath his feet.
The fourth-ranked battle maiden in the front row knelt on one knee, her palm pressed against the sand. Cold white cracks spread outward like a spider web, and frost lines climbed up the broken walls and bridge piers along the terrain, even touching the air moisture line in the air!
"Frozen Domain, radius twelve kilometers!"
Her voice was icy as it came out of her lips, while a thin white mist rose in the sky.
The temperature at the point where Zhang Yi landed dropped to an extremely low level instantly. This was a way to drastically slow down the movement of molecules in the space, enough to cause Zhang Yi's movements to become sluggish.
At the same time, two armed battle maidens drew their swords side by side, raised them to their foreheads, and charged straight at Zhang Yi!
A crimson ring emerged from the back of the greatsword. As the ring receded, the artificial sun in the sky seemed to have been plucked, and a miniature solar prominence appeared on its smooth surface.
"Corona Falls!"
A white core the size of a fist shot into the sky, but quickly dragged down an enormous fireball from the cloud top, like a blazing sun, which fell directly above Zhang Yi's head!
The two armed battle maidens joined forces to unleash an attack that borrowed the power of the artificial sun in the sky, radiating a scorching temperature that could melt the earth and desert, seemingly about to evaporate Zhang Yi instantly!
In Zhang Yi's left eye, the second hand of time spun wildly.
He could foresee everything in the future and saw the damage after the sun fell.
Therefore, he chose the wisest course of action.
The demonic blade spun rapidly in his palm, causing the myriad phenomena of the universe to shrink inward by half a circle, and the black tide of the Netherworld to surge upward, like a huge black stone tablet!
The sun fell upon the black stone monument, its light quickly absorbed and its heat erased by the darkness.
"Even if the two of you join forces, your attacks are not enough to harm me!"
Zhang Yi said coldly.
Even without relying on the myriad phenomena of the universe, he is still a powerful individual with an ability index of 55000.
Moreover, with the added protection of this Demon God Armor, how could he possibly be injured by the combined attack of the two?
However, at this moment, the fifth battle maiden exerted a little force with her legs, bent down, and the jet device on her back propelled her into the air, with two light blue light nails sticking out from her toes.
"Gravity well, bipolar."
The blue beam of light landed on the area around Zhang Yi, and after a moment, the gravitational field of the entire space was distorted.
The air was sometimes light and sometimes heavy, and weightlessness and gravitational pull alternated around Zhang Yi, as if someone was pulling his back and shaking him violently.
The sixth and seventh Valkyries on the flanks pulled the triggers of their hand cannons, causing black rings to ripple outwards like waves, and spatial shockwaves to spread out once again.
The dozen or so doors were pulled apart, and the seemingly endless defenses were continuously subjected to the opponent's focused attacks.
They also realized that unless they broke through the three thousand dimensional gates surrounding Zhang Yi's body, they would not be able to harm his true form.
Zhang Yi's face was cold and stern as he swiftly wielded the demonic blade in his hand, using the power of the Netherworld to fight against everything that was invading him.
He slashed back, the blade wind sweeping across the faces of the two armed battle maidens in front of him like ink lines. Although the two reacted quickly enough, a shallow scorch mark was still left on their armor.
Their bodies were firmly protected by an energy shield composed of transparent hexahedrons.
"Something's strange. How can their defenses be so strong?"
The moment he activated the Azure Sky Strike, his attack easily tore apart an armed battle maiden.
However, even with his full-force strike, he couldn't break through the opponent's energy shield.
Just then, Zhang Yi sensed a peculiar energy fluctuation.
Such a sound came from the mouth of the Armed Battle Maiden.
"Requesting energy replenishment."
A streak of light flashed in the sky, and then twelve crimson beams of light rapidly fell from above! They then enveloped the armed battle maidens.
Zhang Yi finally understood what was going on.
"Are they the terminals of the system? Is my real enemy actually the control system of this lost world?"
A troublesome idea surfaced in his mind.
If that's the case, doesn't that mean these armed battle maidens are also difficult to kill?
The armed battle maidens gave him no time to think, and the attacks came down again in a dense barrage.
He attempted to use the Netherworld Burial to suppress the attack, and the black tide rolled down, like the night sea receding.
The twelve individuals each displayed their unique strengths: some used honeycomb-shaped energy shields to absorb his attacks, some used "spatial oscillations" to weaken his defenses, some launched frontal attacks with laser cannons, and some disrupted his movements with gravity wells.
The twelve players still cooperated seamlessly, and there was no rift due to the absence of one person.
