Sky-cracking Rider

Chapter 487 Section 483 - Charioteering

"How long do you need?"

Others might have hesitated, but Adrian chose to trust Chen Xiao'er completely without any hesitation.

He rapidly recited the spell incantations, beginning to prepare the most powerful fire defense magic he mastered.

Without the "Repulsion Shield," he could only rely on himself.

Those outside of Squad 04 were getting panicked; they didn't have the tacit understanding with Chen Fei and thought he was going to forsake the outsiders to protect his own people. Thus, confused and uncertain, they started shouting.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't mess around!"

"Quick, put up that protective barrier again."

"I'm about to die from the heat!"

...

The noisy chaos was interrupted by a loud shout.

"Shut up, keep quiet."

Unexpectedly, the one who spoke was Bassan, the Neanderthal Chief of Squad 04, who normally had very little presence.

The quiet ones seldom get angry, but when they do, it's terrifying.

The scene fell silent as a graveyard.

"Chirp!"

The Pure Light Sparrow Xiao Jiu was also unbearably hot and opened up a light system magic shield for itself, which apparently did nothing to help.

The magic shield could not completely isolate heat radiation and hot air.

It looked around, then flapped its tiny wings and landed on top of the ice crystal pyramid, feeling much better immediately.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp..."

Little Bird called out to Daddy Chen Fei, saying it's cool here!

Thankfully, Chen Fei, whose head wasn't blown up by the noise of the crowd, was concentrating all his attention on his mobile base vehicle. The ammunition boxes previously stored inside the vehicle had been thrown out, neatly arranged, and then the vehicle itself transformed, extending 36 pillars around the people, with branches intertwining above to support a massive round canopy.

Because of its large surface area, it gained the capacity for 360 engraving units on one side, and with both sides, a whopping 720 engraving units—just the sort of big, flat surface that a magical array loves.

Chen Fei gestured with both hands while saying loudly, "10 seconds, I need 10 seconds!"

The surface of the dome-like canopy reminiscent of a Mongolian yurt began to display a series of magical arrays.

Six "Repulsion Shield" arrays, six "Air Burst" arrays, six "Gravity" arrays, six "Fluid Vortex" spells.

This 6666 tactic made full use of the available magic arrays, with a few engraving units still leftover.

The "Repulsion Shield" protected the Ice Wall, and under the full effort of Susanna, a Class B Ice Ability User, the teetering Ice Wall refroze, regaining its steel-like strength.

But Adrian's "Fire Tornado" was not so lucky. After all, fire should not trouble fire, yet the red and blue flames didn't spare it, and this defensive Seventh Rank Human Order fire spell didn't last three seconds before it was engulfed by the red and blue torrent.

As a fire mage, Adrian was good at offense but not at defense, truly putting him in a difficult spot.

"Rock and Earth Array!"

The Earth Mage Ruan Tiankai unleashed a powerful move, and walls of rock and soil, four to five meters high, kept rising, facing the direction from which the flames came.

The red and blue flames harbored some kind of bizarre destructive power. The rock and soil walls couldn't last long before melting into soft magma, then being scattered by the flames.

"How is that possible?"

Until the last wall, mixed with chunks of concrete and rocks, turned to liquid and vanished on the spot—lasted only five seconds longer than Adrian's "Fire Tornado"—a stunned Ruan Tiankai felt like he had unleashed a fake Earth Magic spell.

"Horn of the Wind God!"

A Wind Ability User joined the fray, aiming to reduce the pressure on Chen Fei. He also chose to release his power outside the "Repulsion Shield's" protective barrier, to consume the still unsubsidized torrent of flames.

The howling air transformed into a full-throttled battleship, charging against the direction of the incoming flames, splitting the fire asunder. Meanwhile, the circular dome, outfitted with sixfold "Repulsion Shields" and bombarded by the "Air Burst" spell array, suddenly faced much less pressure.

In the upper right corner of Chen Fei's vision, the number next to the battery icon had changed to 73.

This was simply too terrifying!

A few more rounds like this, and even with all these magical arrays, Chen Fei might well die here.

"Apu, come here!"

Chen Fei eyed the big black figure.

A Second Rank Thunder Series War Professional—practically a humanoid battery—a real gem!

It seemed there were other Thunder Series Ability Users among them, perfect for recharging.

"Ah? Me?"

Apu pointed to himself, as clueless as a monk at a loss.

"Come, discharge! Give it everything you've got!"

No matter how strong the electric current, Chen Fei's "Light/Electric/Magnetic/Crystal Energy Universal Converter and Management Component" skill could convert it into Crystal Energy.

Even if converting the Thunder Series fighting spirit into pure electric energy caused immense losses, at this critical juncture, even if they drained the big black man into a dried husk, there was no choice but to do so.

When the other Thunder Series Ability Users saw Chen Fei sizing them up, they inexplicably felt a chill, thinking, crap!

A giant red and blue fireball descended silently from the sky.
