Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons-Chapter 470 - 434: Assassination_2
And Kane stopped in his tracks, while his warhorse further expanded the firepower platform.
The muzzles around him began spewing blue magic flames incessantly. Due to the overwhelming number of weapons needing control, YuYu also sat on the platform to help alleviate Kane’s burden.
Five Dark Servants guarded Kane.
The rest charged into the enemy ranks.
These girls wearing pure white masks bloomed all over like death’s lotus on the battlefield.
They wandered the battlefield like death’s elves, leaving behind bloodiness wherever they went, the remains turning to ash.
As assassins, they possessed precise killing skills on the battlefield.
Along with their agile postures.
They truly became lethal machines.
The fifteen Dark Servants’ enemy kills nearly matched those of two to three hundred ordinary knights.
Bear in mind, these two to three hundred refer to silver-tier veterans who’ve already won several victories.
These Dark Servants were only copper tier.
As the records suggested, recruiting soldiers from wild camps should not be skimped on; they must be recruited.
They indeed didn’t disappoint. With such efficiency, a few rounds were enough to recoup the investment.
Needless to say, the Ghost Maid rampaged through the enemy troops in the sky.
Her speed was even faster than the Ghost Cavalry based on Kreya’s body template.
Every dash of death wasn’t just one, but several soldiers around were caught along.
Seeing such efficiency, Kane originally intended for the five Dark Messengers guarding him to attack freely too.
But knowing their general disdain for matters of his safety, he gave up.
Never mind, just focus on attacking.
Kane was sitting in a semi-open mecha, six rotating gun muzzles on either side spinning endlessly, forming a lethal bullet barrage.
His keen sense noticed that even with aim assistance, the soldiers hit by the bullets could still stand and continue fighting due to their enhanced constitution.
Their soldiers matched the enemy in one-on-one actions.
Bear in mind, their soldiers had just received all sorts of buffs and command enhancements from Kreya.
Once these enhancements faded after ten minutes or so, their soldiers would undoubtedly be slaughtered one-sidedly.
These soldiers noticeably improved from before.
Kane looked at the hot weapons atop the firepower platform, realizing a thorough study of new weapons was necessary.
Otherwise, future battles would be even more difficult.
The higher the weapon level, the tougher it became to inflict significant damage.
There was no workaround, as even the Mechanical Association was pondering breakthrough issues, especially concerning gold-level.
Almost all gold-level Explorers had abandoned using Magic Power Weapons, specifically external ones rather than those spawned from Mist.
Mist-spawned Magic Power Weapons were extremely useful but came at exponentially increased costs.
Though Kane’s mind was wandering, he still controlled the firepower, with the platform showing no signs of halting.
If one or two bullets couldn’t kill, then a few more rounds would, directly pulverizing the soldiers.
"Retreat! Withdraw to the camp."
The voice of the enemy general came drifting from afar.
Hearing their general’s retreat command, the soldiers didn’t hesitate to abandon their foes, turning and running, even under knife hits, without looking back.
In an instant, they receded like the tide.
A gap of three or four meters was left in between.
This gap was the enemy’s salvation, where the ground suddenly rose, forming a massive mud wall that momentarily blocked Kane’s pursuit attempt.
The frontal earth wall was fragile, and soldiers broke through with a few forceful hits, creating a large hole.
But the enemy had already retreated hundreds of meters away, and distant observation revealed green magic wind twining their feet.
"Ah, Magic Generals are really annoying!" Kane said.
As his words were spoken, Bonona leaped onto the seven-meter high mud wall.
Then she jumped skyward again, her feet sprouting green wind magic, propelling her nearly twenty meters high.
The longbow in her hand transformed elegantly, a magic arrow appeared on her bow, followed by its release.
"Whoosh!"
The magic arrow vanished instantly in the air, producing a piercingly sharp sound.
The general hundreds of meters away tried to turn and cast magic but the attacking arrow was evidently faster than his actions.
The magic arrow pierced through his chest, its powerful force propelled him tens of meters away, pinning him harshly to the ground.
"Flee!...Quickly...to the camp."
Even in such a state, he shouted to the soldiers running towards him for rescue.
The soldiers, who had originally halted, quickened their pace again, running to the distance.
When Kane and company arrived, they only found a magic arrow embedded in dust. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Among the dust piles, some shiny spoils glinted.
Kane walked over, brushed aside the dust, and took the gold coins and spoils.
A quick check revealed.
Oh! It turned out to be a piece of Magic Power Jewelry with some impressive attributes.
No doubt the former owner was the Magic General.
Kane turned to Bonona and said: "Impressive, Bonona, I didn’t expect you to have such skills."
To be honest, Bonona’s previous arrow seemed very formidable to outsiders, and equally so to Kane, an archer himself.
At least he couldn’t shoot such an arrow, given his archery skills and supporting skills were still at copper level.
Upon hearing Kane’s compliment, Bonona smiled and said: "Thanks for the praise, but this isn’t my strongest skill yet, you’ll see more later."
"Hahaha, then I’ll wait in anticipation."
Efficiently cleaning up the battlefield and collecting the spoils, Kane and company took out several bottles of Meizike-prepared healing particles to treat the injured soldiers.
As for those too severely injured or directly dead, they were powerless, watching their bodies turn into blue magic glows drifting skyward.
Treating such wounds required Meizike’s presence.
"Alright, continue the pursuit until we take the camp ahead."
