Slam!
The ch swatted its shield at this mage.
With a hop, that mage jumped above the shield. With a stomp on the shield, that mage leaped towards the ch.
In air, the mage's wand brightened up with a purplish glow.
Thrusting his wand forward like a dagger, the mage stabbed the dagger at the ch's head.
Boom!
A fiery explosion.
The ch was sent flying towards the river. Like a skipping rock, this burning ch bounced off the river surface.
Wearing a smirk, the void mage shot towards Alice. Running on the water surface like the ground, that mage quickly closed in the distance.
While travelling, the mage's wand liquefied and sank into the mage's hand. His withered arm quickly puffed up in size.
Stomp!
The mage suddenly appeared above the giant ch.
Punch!
The ch shot into the water like a cannonball.
In Alice's view, the bright river surface quickly distanced away. An enormous force was dragging her down into the dark and cold depth.
"Jeff? Jeff!" This burning ch struggled around in the water.
Even under water, the purplish flas continued to burn.
BAM!
Another hit!
The ch sank lower into the waters.
Holding its shield up, the ch curled up.
[Alert!]
[Alert!]
[Shield: 15%...]
[Pilot Assistance Program Activating...]
The curled up ch opened up again.
At this mont, the presence of this ch totally changed!
Even being battered up, even with lower energy, it still presented a whole new level of threat!
In an instance, the ch transford from a cowering newbie, to a cold and calculating warrior.
Turning around, raising its shield, the ch blocked out a punch with ease.
[Enemy Analysis Completed...]
Being knocked back, the ch kept its gaze onto its enemy.
[Energy source switched to Backup Mana Block A...]
Pop!
An explosion of mana.
The water around the ch churned. The sticky purplish flas on this ch shot into the water.
Seeing this result, the mage's careless expression beca serious, and a little flustered?
In this dark waters, like a torpedo, that mage shot towards Alice's ch.
Yet, travelling halfway forward, the mage quickly slowed down. Looking closely, he was entangled in sothing now.
A net made out of thin tal chains gradually exited its camouflaged mode.
The mage widened his eyes. He was genuienly surprised this ti. WHEN?!
In this dark world, the ch raised its hand at the mage. Like a noonti sun, the ch beca blindingly bright with a golden light.
Pouring energy into its hand without holding back, an sphere of golden energy appeared before the ch's palm.
Under this death threat, the cloaked mage widened his eyes and clenched his teeth. Without further doubt, the dude stabbed a syringe into his arm.
Open fire!
A beam of golden light blasted towards that entangled mage.
The water in the beam's path instantly vaporized, leaving a trail of cloudy bubbles.
Across the river, a blinding light flashed!
The waters churned and trembled.
Looking from above...
On the other side of the river bank, a fiery cloud shot up from the ground. Mud, water, and silt blasted into the air. At this instance, under this blast, the waters near that location receded.
As the dirty waters fell down, water gradually filled that 35 ters radius crater...
[Energy source switched to Backup Mana Block B...]
Under water, the dimming ch brightened up again. Leaving a trail of bubbles, the ch quickly ascended.
Bring out a pillar of water, the ch broke through the river surface.
Standing in the muddy rainfall, the void mage looked at the ch in frustration.
"Ugh." The dude's large arm popped off. As the arm fell, it bursted into purplish flas. Before it hit the water surface, it had already been cremated.
"This upgrade was reserved for you, Ms. Finley!" The mage grumbled.
"Now look at what you've forced to do! AHHHH!"
A new arm quickly grew out of the mage's shoulder. The dude's hair quickly grew in length. In a mont, it was already at waist-length. As if being molded by an invisible force, the dude's body quickly beca taller and slender. The dude's face beca feminine. A droplet-shaped tattoo appeared on his forehead. His withered skin beca smooth and tender.
In a blink, the transformation was already completed. The dude looked like a flat beauty now. Overall, the dude gave off a sense of otherworldly beauty. Lethal yet alluring.
The dude clenched his fist.
PAM!
An explosion of mana...
The air surrounding the dude beca dense like a liquid.
"Now Ms. Finley..." The mage maliciously smiled.
[Hostile Energy Level: SSS-rank!]
[Likelihood of Escape: negligible...]
[Final Backup Protocol Initiating...]
Pop!
The gem on the ch's head cracked and shuttered. From the broken gem, a glowing energy flowed out, covering this ch.
In a blink, this blob of energy had already reached 50 ters tall.
Seeing this, the mage widened his eyes and held his breath.
This was just a trace of sage-tier mana. Yet, this was not sothing an SSS-rank could stand against.
Inside the glowing energy, Jeff's upper body appeared as an apparition. Inside Jeff's body, the ch was covered and protected.
(Apparition: a ghost or ghostlike image of a person.)
Jeff's apparition turned his cold gaze towards the frozen mage. Raising a finger, Jeff pressed down at this tiny enemy.
Under this pressure, the mage simply didn't have the strength to move. It's as if this space itself had been locked up.
In the mage's view, Jeff's finger quickly expanded in size.
"To think I lost to a rich man's toy..." The mage bitterly sighed in unreconciliation. "Jeff Norman..."
With a press and sar, the world was silent and peaceful again.
In the breeze, Jeff's apparition faded away.
The ch rose its head at Jeff's image. In the cockpit, Alice wore a blessed smile.

[ The sanctuary storage ]
15 minutes prior to Jeff's return...
Atlas's cold gaze brushed through the scared workers. "Pile the materials at the shipping zone."
"What materials do you need sir?"
"Everything." Atlas took a glance at the guy asking this question.
"Yes sir!" Avoiding Atlas' gaze, that guy nodded.
"Hmm..." Atlas looked down at his electronic tablet. Using keyholder clearance, Atlas punched in commands.
"I've removed all restrictions in this building. You three, grab the crates out of the black zone."
"But only the keyholder is-"
"Follow your orders."
"... Yes sir."
Atlas turned his gaze towards the cloaked figure.
That cloaked dude placed a black disk onto the ground. Like streams of ink, black stripes extended out of that disk.
"The altar will be ready in 10 minutes Sire."
Atlas nodded at this reply.
With a light hop, Atlas jumped 7 ters into air, easily arriving the upper platform. Looking out the window, squads were streaming in now. So were already setting up defenses.
In a mont, this place would beco the most densely protected location in Berrystone.
All according to plan...
