Watching the violently trembling sea surface, KIKI imdiately said to Brother Huo,
"Brother Huo, quickly turn it to ashes!"
"Of course!" Brother Huo clenched his fist, flas surging, ready to unleash a massive fire assault.
At that mont, a piercing sound rang through the air, interrupting Brother Huo’s attack. A short-haired girl wielding a chanical greatsword was flying rapidly in the air without any power armor device. An invisible wave ripple shimred around her, surrounding her in a distorted heatwave—that was Vanessa!
Seeing this, Lin Xian couldn’t help but narrow his eyes, as he sensed a familiar wave of power emanating from Vanessa.
Corpse chaser!
Earlier, when Lin Xian and Chu Yan connected with the corpse chaser, he clearly felt the dark energy’s fluctuation, and now he sensed it on Vanessa.
The power armor’s optical lock-on targeted the swiftly flying Vanessa, and Lin Xian seed to catch a tiny detail: dark red vein-like patterns appeared on Vanessa’s exposed hand, as her peak superpower exploded. In the next instant, she wielded the chanical greatsword, sweeping dominantly at the remnants of the glowing jellyfish in mid-air!
Hiss!
Instantly, an explosion like a teor tearing through the air erupted above the beach. Everyone witnessed Vanessa’s chanical greatsword swiftly turning crimson. Simultaneously, a dark red shockwave blasted out like spewed dark particles, slicing through the air with a wave that extended hundreds of ters, imdiately disintegrating the failing remains of the glowing jellyfish into countless fragnts!
Lin Xian, along with Xiao Qing, Ning Jing, KIKI, and Ah Bai, was utterly shocked by the scene. Unsure if it was an illusion, Lin Xian noticed that besides the fierce slash shattering the jellyfish remnants, the bluish energy on its remains was also instantly devoured, bursting open into a sky of black mist. The transparent jellyfish corpses quickly congealed and deteriorated into chunks of white decay, completely losing their activity.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Nurous pieces fell into the sea, and KIKI and the others noticed that their Level 4 markers had been entirely cleared.
"So powerful, did she use that so-called Crystal Grid power?"
"Definitely," Ning Jing said sternly, "Her power has at least doubled since yesterday, and she’s mastered a force beyond evolution. That’s not sothing a Genetic Evolver can release."
Xiao Qing observed cautiously, as a combat genius, she also realized Vanessa’s peculiarity. Yesterday, after defeating a Split-tailed Person, she didn’t notice much difference between herself and Vanessa and even thought her strength surpassed the other. But now, Vanessa’s displayed combat prowess was terrifying, prompting Xiao Qing to contemplate the extension of Crystal Grid power.
Hearing the discussion, Lin Xian’s eyes flickered as he glanced at the radar displaying aimlessly moving red dots, and imdiately said,
"Stop discussing, maintain silence, and retreat to the vehicle!"
"Hold on." Another Gedi raised his right arm, the chanical hatch opened, elevating a special small missile, which he imdiately fired towards a distant stadium direction.
"Luring agent?" Lin Xian asked.
"Exactly." Gedi nodded.
"Good." Lin Xian nodded, wasting no words, and promptly led everyone back toward the orbit station.
During the retreat, looking down from the sky, peculiar silhouettes slowly moved below on the street outlines. The group maintained low-altitude movent, quickly returning to the orbit station with Mo Xiaotian, and breathed a sigh of relief after getting back on the Infinity.
This battle happened in a flash, lasting less than three minutes to take down a Special Level creature, clear the Level 4 marker, and slip back into silence from the Dark Monster Tide hunt. It was indeed thrilling.
In the carriage, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Sun Yuzhen, with an excited look, embraced Mo Xiaotian, "Xiao Tian, how are you?"
Taking off his battle armor, Mo Xiaotian shook his head, then said to Brother Huo, "Master... I was practicing arc conduction and then sohow..."
"Shut up!" Brother Huo, feeling sowhat afraid, yet putting on an extrely serious expression as he looked down at him: "Causing such a ss, you’ll be punished with six hours of body refining, no rest allowed!"
"Fine..." Mo Xiaotian pouted.
Lin Xian looked at Vanessa, where the dark red lines were gradually receding, and asked.
"Is this the Crystal Grid power?"
"Yes." Vanessa turned to Lin Xian, her black-red rippling eyes gradually calming down, the brown pupils carrying a hint of slyness, and said to Lin Xian, "The Crystal Grid not only enhances superpower peaks but primarily absorbs and releases dark energy. This dark energy can quickly destroy the vitality of an Abnormal Body faster than physical and physiological destruction."
"Faster? Are you saying it’s faster than my own destruction into ash?" Lu Xingchen, sowhat skeptical, despite being surprised by the earlier slash, still said defiantly.
Vanessa looked at him calmly, "Your fire elent ability surely surpasses mine in terms of destructive power, but to quickly eradicate a Dark Creature’s life force, trust , dark energy surpasses all known superpower energies."
"You indeed feel that monster’s vitality quickly extinguished." KIKI nodded, "Is this dark energy really that powerful? You can kill a Special Level with a single slash?"
"Not that powerful,"
Gedi looked at Lin Xian and a few others and said, "Captain Lin and the powerful attacks had reduced this monster to a remnant in a short ti, Vanessa’s move was mainly to quickly clear the dark mark. In usual situations, encountering this monster would be troubleso, but not during the day. Now it’s dark, marked; we can’t kill it quickly, we’d mostly withdraw, eliminating lower-level Abnormal Bodies along the way to clear the mark."
"Indeed."
Vanessa said humbly, "But this at least gives a better survival chance than without the Crystal Grid, allowing to face it head-on."
"How about it?" She asked Lin Xian, smiling, "Sword Holder, are you interested in the Crystal Grid?"
Lin Xian nodded, "I’ve always been interested."
"Then my previous proposal..."
"Where is your Sea Group?" Lin Xian asked directly.
"Not far from Sea Rock Island, a few dozen nautical miles away," Vanessa said.
"A ship?" Chen Sixuan asked.
"No." Gedi looked at everyone and said, "Our shelter is quite simple..."
"Just an aircraft carrier."
