nThud! Thud! Thud!

nThe group of Terror Mages was thrown far away after the Empire's massive scale bombardment…

nIf not for their Mana Artifact and Armors made of Ancient Abyssal Alloy and Glass, there was no way for them to survive even if they have the finest physique on this planet…

nAkhsar, the leader of their unit, glanced at his surroundings. He could no longer recognize the land as it was flattened by the Spaceship's cannons…

nHowever, he wasn't scared at all… It was weird… It feels as though he was waiting for this moment of his life… He wanted to engage more in battle and see who's the strongest…

nHe noticed his fellow Mages and realized that they are in the same mindset…

nOnly 44 Terror Mages survived but none of them seem to be hesitating!

nSoon, they saw the Wolf's Sledger Mech Frames and the Marauder Gears that were included in Veda's report about their enemies…

nThey know their technology called Psionic Pulse but they do not have any countermeasures with it but to just endure and launch an even more powerful attack against the enemy.

nNevertheless, their physique can harness the high quality of Mana and their Arcane Link can be considered to have reached the peak…

nIt means that they would be able to freely use all the Mana in the surroundings as long as their brain can handle it.

n

"Move.

"

nIt was just a single word but the Terror Mages acted as if they have heard series of instructions…

nThey charged in formation and targeted the nearest Mech Frames coming for them…

nAfter getting into range, they used their specialized Sword Mana Artifact called Terror Blade to slash the Mech Frames from afar… Each Terror Blade contained a piece of Ancient Abyssal Glass with such a mysterious form of energy and power…

nHellion Break!

nThis Mana Spell can be considered to be a Grade 3 after being cast by such powerful Mages…

nBang! Bang! Bang!

nThe Mech Frames didn't idle and used their mini guns to shoot the small humans that are waving their blades like children…

nClank! Clank! Clank!

nHowever, to their surprise, they were notified by their system that their Energy Barrier and Subspace Deflector was hit by something invisible… Their energy supply was also cut by a huge chunk!

nThey were visibly confused at first but blamed it on the mysterious power of the natives of this planet…

nAfter all, they were not new to a different race having unique traits or abilities… Anyway, their mission remains as it is.

nWhoosh! Whoosh!

nDue to the unusual attack of these natives, they decided to move around to avoid getting easily hit by the natives' unknown superpowers…

nIt seems to be quite effective as they were no longer notified by their system that they were hit by something.

nHowever, the natives weren't done yet…

n

"Petrification!

"

nAkhsar and the two others who have the special Mana Artifact used them indefinitely!

nThe Mech Frames flying extremely fast suddenly halted as their engines turned to stone…

nBoom! Boom!

nDue to their momentum, the pilots were unable to remove themselves from the Mech Frames and they crashed together to the ground…

nThe Terror Magicians continued their fighting method as they rely on their Ancient Abyssal Armor to take most of the bullets of the Mech Frames

nWhom~

nHowever, the Psionic Pulse of one of the Mech Frames activated!

nThis weapon is supposedly meant to fight against spaceships!

nThat's right, the Wolf's Sledger is a Mech Frame equipped with a weapon to deal with any spacecraft, specifically its crews inside…

nThe Psionic Pulse is a form of missile or projectile that once it hit an object, will release a psionic wavelength that would slightly damage the object or perhaps spaceship and would severely injure the crews inside.

nIt will result in debilitating agony that would almost never go away. It doesn't necessarily kill, but the people hit by this will wish they were dead…

nApparently, only the unique physique of the Empire's people were capable of enduring this to a large degree…

nAs for the elite imperial soldiers, they wouldn't worry about such attacks as long as they were prepared for it.

nThe Terror Magicians felt the pain and couldn't do anything about it… They heard about this and were only told to endure and launch a counter on the perpetuator.

n

"Aaarrggh!

"

nAkhsar roared as he gathered all his energy and threw his one-time Mana Artifact to the Mech Frame…

nIt did not create an explosion or powerful force to destroy the machine, however, as soon as the Wolf's Sledger was hit, black chains started manifesting and slithered around the Mech…

nDespair Chains!

nCrack! Crack!

nThe Mech Frame was strangled by the chains slowly until the machine could no longer take it…

nBoom!

nAn explosion occurred as the Mech was destroyed by the one-time Mana Artifact…

nThe Terror Magicians can finally breathe even for a short time…

n'Heh… It seems like we're being experimented on… Are they testing our endurance here? Why are they not attacking all at once?'

nAkhsar noticed the weird actions of these Mech Frames. If they were attacked after they activated the Psionic Pulse, they would surely die on the spot. But the aliens decided to just watch them struggle and see how they would respond…

nThud! Thud!

nThey then heard something not too far from them… They suddenly felt a chill on their skin…

nThey glanced at the source of the aura and noticed the floating city or the Conqueror Starship. They saw five figures of golden humans coming at them…

nThey are wearing long robes but Akhsar and the others can see their chest and face… These gold-skinned humans don't have hairs at all, not even eyebrows.

nEach of them is holding a staff and a bag which are also designed luxuriously like their robes.

n'So, they're the leader of these invaders?'

nThis is what in mind of all the Terror Mages present. They noticed that the Mech Frames weren't attacking and were all frozen on their spot… It seems that they were being commanded by this five…

nNevertheless, this is a good time to take a rest and replenish their energy.

n

"What now?

"

nThe Magicians nearest to Akhsar whispered…

n

"We will die here… However, we need to get as much information for Veda. Even if we sacrifice ourselves as long as we can force them to use their secret weapons, it should be worth the price.

"

nThe leader resolutely said as he stared at the five figures… They seem to be using a slim device to float and reach them quickly.

nAs soon as they get into a certain distance, Akhsar heard them speak an unknown language. That was to be expected, they came from some other planet. He just smiled at them and said…

n

"Get out of our planet! This is not yours!

"

nHis voice contained some anger in it… Although the aliens wouldn't understand it as well, they seem to have realized that he's angry…

nThe five aliens then decided to land on the ground as they were on equal footing.

nWhoosh!

nThe five aliens suddenly waved their staves like they were doing a ritual.

nBam!

nOne of the Terror Mage with the weakest mana suddenly collapsed!

n

"Ottar!

"

nThe Terror Mages saw that their colleague just collapsed and called his name.

n'What?! Can they also use magic?!'

nAkhsar was shocked but he didn't forget to act…

nStone Wall!

nHe decided to block their vision on them as his first move. He doesn't know the trick behind the alien's attack so they have to get away first…

nAnyway, it appears that the aliens can't use their superpower from afar…

nIce Spear!

nWind Vortex!

nWater Ball!

nOther Elemental Mana Spells were used by his fellow Terror Mages as they distanced themselves from the five aliens…

nIf the aliens tried to chase them, it means that they were already out of their attacking range… or at least they would gain insight about the distance that the golden humans can use their unknown attack.

nHowever, Ottar suddenly floated and rushed towards the five!

n

"Tsk! They are trying to capture him!

" Akshar shouted as they decided to launch a full-frontal assault on the five golden aliens…

n

"Charge!

"

nIf Ottar is conscious, he would surely consider using Mana Core Explosion to avoid being taken alive to the alien's base.

nVeda has warned them on what could happen if they are captured by aliens so they know the danger that would follow…

nHowever, the aliens seem to be prepared as they waved their staff to signal the Mech Frames to attack them…

n'Tsk! We messed up!'

nHe noticed that the Mech Frames were about to activate their Psionic Pulse! It would be a disaster if this continues.

nHowever, as they were expecting themselves to be killed, a powerful aura composed of thick Mana and unknown warm energy appeared in their midst…

nThey saw a small figure attempting to deal with the Mech Frame's attack.

nThey saw him raise his hands and pointed his palm at the Wolf's Sledgers before grasping tightly on the air…

nIt was such a simple move but Akhsar and the others can feel the energy used on that action. This was perhaps a Grade 4 Spell or higher...

nCrank! Crank!

nThe Mech Frames suddenly crumpled as the young man clenched his fist…

n
