Chapter 1572 Paywall + Smash, Smash, Smash
This time, Luke didn’t make any fancy moves with his blades as he swung them straight ahead. Two streaks of golden light hit the black shield.
Both blades sank halfway into the black shield, and the golden light spread out. However, it was countless times slower than when it had killed the Warlock.
In one second, the golden light spread less than a meter in diameter. However, the black light shield shook violently, and the golden light looked like it was about to shatter.
The remaining 23,000 faith value dropped again. In the blink of an eye, the number turned to 10,000. Luke remained calm.
From his previous experiments and killing the Warlock just now, he could determine the rough effects of several attacks.
To use an analogy, faith value was like oil with a lot of impurities, which could nevertheless burn with enough lethality. Credit points were like gas that had been filtered and purified. Not only could it burn, it could power internal combustion engines without causing damage to the machines.
Annihilation was atomic energy, and was far more lethal.
But of the three, oil (faith value) was the easiest to obtain and didn’t require much processing
Gas (credit points) needed to be processed. If oil could be used, it wasn’t worth using gas.
The raw materials for atomic energy (Annihilation energy), on the other hand, were the rarest. The quality was very high, but the consumption rate was very fast and it took even longer to accumulate.
For Luke, credit points were the least lethal and the value of faith was much higher, but they were both far less destructive than Annihilation.
Nevertheless, the advantage of the first two was that they were stored in the cheat that was the system. To use them in an attack, there was only one word for it — pay!
If 1,000 wasn’t enough, then 10,000. If 10,000 wasn’t enough, then 100,000.
As long as he had enough “savings,” he basically didn’t feel any burden.
On the other hand, Luke needed to use Mental Strength to control Annihilation energy; it was a “personal skill” that consumed “mana.”
The metal cone in front of him was stronger than the Warlock in every aspect, except that it couldn’t move.
Thus, Luke didn’t hesitate to make “in-app purchases” to kill the other party.
Sure enough, the Enchantress’s furious voice rang out. “D*mn you, I’ll kill you to avenge my brother!”
As she roared, two long, ridged-looking metal whips suddenly flew out of the metal cone and swung at Luke fiercely.
Luke’s hands weren’t free. The thrusters under his feet just revved up and he instantly flipped upside-down in the air while the reactor in his chest glowed even brighter.
Bang! Bang!
Two blast cannons hit the metal whips, but the enormous force didn’t stop them as they brushed past.
The metal whips missed Luke by a hair’s breadth.
Luke didn’t stop as he continued to spin. He suddenly spread his legs and stepped on the two slender whips that launched a sneak attack from below, before he tied them together.
By now, the two pools of golden light on the black light barrier had already melded together and expanded.
The black light shield rippled violently.
“Ahhh!” The fury in the Enchantress’s scream was clear.
Her mechanical magic tower had been activated too early, and only 70% of the energy reaction was completed.
Now that Tony and Luke were attacking the black light shield incessantly, there was only 40% of energy left.
This greatly affected the tower’s functions, which couldn’t be activated.
The Enchantress didn’t dare use another energy blast, since it would further cut down on the progress of the energy reaction.
If she couldn’t activate this magic tower in time, she wouldn’t be able to move quickly, and would have to escape on her own. After working so hard for so long, her brother was dead. She didn’t want all her efforts to be for nothing Luke was happy when he sensed that the Enchantress was unhappy.
Making the other party suffer in battle was also one kind of success.
The fact that she hadn’t appeared yet proved that there was something wrong with the metal cone.
If he didn’t deal with this metal shell, however, he definitely wouldn’t be able to do anything to her.
Now that the first step had been accomplished, it was time to take the second step.
When he thought that, the faith value in the system continued to drop rapidly, from 10,000 to 9,000 to 8,000…
The golden light suddenly spread faster and covered one third of the black light shield.
The black light shield shook violently before it disappeared with a dull thud.
The two blades that had come loose swept over the metal whips. Luke used the momentum to press down on the whips under his feet. He exerted strength in his hands and feet at the same time, and the enormous defense armor he was in suddenly sped up as he crashed into the metal cone.
Creak
There was an ear-piercing, drawn-out screech as the two longswords made contact with the metal cone. A straight cut rapidly appeared over the cone.
As if it sensed a fatal threat, the metal cone suddenly sped up, and a dozen ridged whips lashed out at Luke.
At the same time, black holes the size of bowls appeared on the surface of the cone, and the energy fluctuations increased rapidly.
Luke’s expression was calm, but there was excitement in his eyes.
This was a worthy opponent! Trash like the Warlock, who just ran around, was boring. He wasn’t as tough as his sister!
Sheathing the blades on his back, Luke grabbed the edges of the cut and pushed.
There was the sound of metal being twisted and broken, and the crack grew even wider.
The metal whips lashed out at Luke’s back, but the enormous armor didn’t dodge as it withstood the attacks. Luke took advantage of the situation to squeeze through the gap.
With a clatter, pieces of broken metal were thrown out of the gap.
Sensing that something was wrong, the metal whips stabbed into the gap in a frenzy. The black holes, which fluctuated violently with energy, couldn’t attack inside, so they were naturally useless.
The metal whips were beaten back out of the gap once more.
In the gap, Luke swung his limbs wildly as he grabbed various metal parts and pulled hard. He laughed. “So this is what it’s like when the Hulk smashes things!”
The defense armor which Luke was wearing at that moment had been inspired by the Hulk during the Battle of New York, and was geared toward super defense and strength.
Luke only had this one prototype, and had never used it in real combat.
This defense armor also had a humanoid form like the tycoon’s Hulkbuster armor, but the structure was relatively simple. Apart from the chest reactor, which could generally be used for long-range attacks, it didn’t have any support tools like pulse cannons, guns, missiles, or anything else.
All these functions had been omitted in favor of the thickest shell, the sturdiest structure and the highest level of physicality.
While it basically lost the ability to kill opponents on a large scale, its damage output was now the greatest against a single target; it could completely suppress a difficult opponent without falling into a disadvantage.
In a sense, the tycoon’s Hulkbuster armor was the same.
However, the tycoon still couldn’t change his showy ways; the Hulkbuster still had numerous functions, and it cost over ten times more than Luke’s defense armor.
