Chapter 146: Escaping the Barrier

"Steam Mecha of the Kingdom, how truly troublesome."

Looking at the six Steam Mecha surrounding her, even the Fourth Order Master Natavia could not help but knit her brows tightly at this moment.

As an emerging violent institution of the Frost Kingdom's Guard department.

The Mecha Unit possesses extremely formidable combat capabilities.

Driven by a Steam Core and DX-I type steam energy rods, the bodies possess abnormally powerful strength, making it no issue to even go head-to-head against melee-type Master-level Transcendents.

And in the hands of skilled Mecha Pilots, this formidable melee capability is further brought into play.

However, in most situations, Steam Mecha pilots usually control the mecha to maintain a certain distance from the enemy.

By using the mecha's built-in fire control system, they fire a large amount of gunpowder ammunition and Steel-Core Armor-Piercing Bullets propelled by steam pumps, eliminating enemies at the furthest distance the range can cover.

Under this tactic, the more Steam Mecha participating in the operation, the stronger the combat power that can be exerted.

When an entire Mecha Unit is present at once, any Transcendent below the Fifth Rank Champion level will be torn to shreds by the terrifying barrage!

Of course, the disadvantages of doing this are also obvious.

That is, it burns money! According to rough statistics, when a Steam Mecha is at full firepower, it consumes about fifteen Gold Frost Coins every minute.

In an intense battle, not counting the repair costs for mecha damage, the ammunition consumed alone is already close to ten thousand Gold Frost! This terrifying consumption rate is one of the reasons why the Mecha Unit is not often deployed.

Besides this, the reason the Frost Kingdom adopts this money-burning tactic is also due to the scarcity of Mecha Pilots.

The bodies of ordinary humans are hard-pressed to withstand the load generated when piloting a mecha.

Furthermore, the cumbersome control procedures of a Steam Mecha also cause the difficulty of operating it to skyrocket.

Only Third-rank Transcendent Mechanics, Mecha Pilots, and subsequent Fourth Order Master Ace Pilots can control Steam Mecha in battle.

In other words, Steam Mecha pilots are almost one less for every one that dies, making them very difficult to replace.

Correspondingly, the ammunition consumed during battle is not as heart-wrenching.

But here with Brenna, except for the mecha she pilots herself, the other five Steam Mecha are all unmanned! Although in terms of mecha control technology, unmanned mecha certainly cannot compare to real Mecha Pilots.

But it can't be helped, this stuff can be mass-produced!

Brenna uses them without the slightest heartache; even if the mecha are scrapped, it doesn't matter, as long as she can hold Natavia back.

Holding this thought, the six Steam Mecha fired at full power, and countless ammunition flew toward Natavia like a torrential downpour!

"Damn it." Natavia looked closely and immediately discovered that all the fired warheads were actually shimmering with a pale golden light.

It was very clear that these bullets had been specially treated.

Even if she transformed her body into blood for a short time, she would still be harmed by these bullets!

Having no other choice, she could only dodge quickly toward the gaps in the barrage.

"Heh heh, I soaked all the ammunition in Holy Water for an entire night in advance!" Watching Natavia constantly dodging the attacks, Brenna thought very smugly.

As a special liquid produced by almost all Churches on the continent.

Holy Water possesses the ability to Heal pain, Disease, and Curses.

Even ordinary people without any physical problems can drink Holy Water to make their bodies healthier and achieve a certain effect of prolonging life.

If one were to elect an item from the continent that could be called a panacea, then Holy Water would undoubtedly be pushed to the throne of number one by the people.

And besides the above effects, Holy Water can also add a temporary 【Divine】 attribute enchantment to any item.

The method is also very simple: just throw the item you need to enchant into the Holy Water and soak it for at least one hour.

Depending on the quality of the Holy Water and the time of soaking, the effect caused by the enchantment will also vary.

And Brenna dismantled the warheads of all the ammunition individually and soaked them in 6th Grade Holy Water for an entire night! These warheads, which have been added with the 【Divine】 attribute, can exert significant effects when facing enemies who possess the power of an Outer God and are naturally labeled as 【Evil】.

"Achoo!"

Holding a Scarlet Cross Sword and following the others to break through, Yun Mu suddenly sneezed.

"Strange, why do I feel a bit cold behind my back?" She subconsciously looked back. She saw Natavia dodging the barrage of the six Steam Mecha in a disheveled manner, occasionally forcing a breakthrough only to be quickly blocked by several Steam Mecha that completely disregarded their own wear and tear.

It looks like it is only a matter of time before Natavia defeats Brenna.

But before that, this amount of time is also completely enough for them to break through the blockade of the Bloodline Living Corpses and Blood-thirsty Ones.

The only problem is, by that time, how will Brenna shake off Natavia and catch up? "Clack clack!"

Just as Yun Mu was thinking about things, Chester, who was following beside her, suddenly let out an excited cry.

"We're almost at the exit?" Feeling the emotions coming through the contract, Yun Mu said with some surprise.

She looked in the direction Chester was looking, and saw that about fifty meters ahead, there was a vacuum area without any Bloodline creatures.

Clearly, that was the location of the Barrier exit.

I just feel the progress is much faster than I imagined; is it because Edward is clearing the way with all his might? Yun Mu thought as she looked at Edward, who was holding a long sword and slaughtering the Bloodline creatures as if mowing Grass even after they had gone Berserk.

"Uncle Edward, that is the exit!" Thinking of this, she immediately shouted to Edward.

"Oh, have we reached the exit already?"

Hearing Yun Mu's voice, Edward looked in the direction she was pointing.

"It is indeed very obvious." Edward thought as he looked at the large empty area without any Bloodline creatures.

"Let's break through in one go!"

He casually swung a circular sword Qi, beheading all the Bloodline creatures beside him, and then he held the sword with both hands, sword tip pointing downward, running forward as if dragging it on the ground.

"Ha!"

A terrifying aura erupted from Edward's body, like a giant wave, and a monstrous sword Qi flew out, cutting all the Bloodline creatures blocking the road ahead into two! The already dilapidated ground of the slums could not withstand such power at all, and was directly plowed into a rift three meters deep and about five meters wide! "It seems it's about time." Brenna was attracted by the commotion on Edward's side and smiled softly.

After setting all the parameters inside the mecha using her professional skills, she slammed the emergency ejection button inside the mecha.

"Bye-bye~"

Although people outside could not see the situation inside the mecha, Brenna still waved at Natavia and said.

"Bang!!"

The next second, like firing a cannonball.

The Steam Mecha Brenna was in launched its internal cockpit directly toward the location where Yun Mu and the others were.

PS: Holy Water is born through the prayers of Believers.

The specific details of its production are very complex, but simply put, during prayer, water is influenced by the Ether that records Divine information.

Thereby undergoing a transformation.

And according to the degree of the Believers' faith, the quality of the Holy Water will also change.

It is divided into ten grades in total, which are No. 1 to No. 10 Holy Water; the higher the quality, the smaller the number.

——Mechanics possess the ability to remotely control machines and enhance the power of machines.

And Mecha Pilots, on this foundation, are able to make a mecha unleash even more formidable strength.

By the way, after systematic study, a Mechanic Expert is also able to pilot a mecha.

It is just that the effect unleashed is certainly not as good as a Mecha Pilot who specializes in Mecha Piloting.

——While writing this chapter today, I don't know why, but my obsessive-compulsive disorder flared up again.

I revised every paragraph several times, and I even read the first three hundred words seven or eight times!

This caused my writing speed today to drop significantly.

So there is no second chapter, hehe.
