Chapter 659: Chapter 548: Truly Terrifying Magic, it’s Almost Like the Power of a God!
After two magically propelled missiles provided Rafael and others a chance to escape, Lydia accelerated again, heading straight for Night Demon Shado to prevent him from pursuing.
Once Lydia closed the distance to less than one kilometer, she pressed the cannon launch button. The cylindrical cannon mounts on the wings immediately erupted, and a continuous barrage hurtled toward their target.
It had been a troubling question for Dennis for several months, whether to install cannons on a supersonic fighter without hitting themselves. However, after real combat drills, Dennis realized he had been overthinking it.
With the high speed provided by the supersonic fighter, the cannon bullets, under the effect of inertia, could easily break through to more than five times the speed of sound!
In comparison, Night Demon’s massive size was practically a live target. The specialty armor-piercing rounds fired from the cannon, coupled with a five-fold speed of sound enhancement, unleashed terrifying power!
Even the legendary body’s robustness was breached, revealing gashes of bleeding wounds.
Originally planning to pursue Rafael and the others, Night Demon Shado was left in a pitiable state by this barrage of attacks. Although the cannon’s assaults were barely penetrating, they were immensely humiliating.
Roars of rage echoed incessantly through the alien skies, and as the massive Night Demon flapped its wings, a fierce storm erupted once more.
The storm’s speed was undoubtedly fast, but Lydia, piloting a supersonic fighter, found it effortlessly easy to evade.
The half-human girl undoubtedly utilized the advantage of speed to its limits, controlling the supersonic fighter as nimbly as a swift swallow, dodging left and right while maintaining a distance of one kilometer and continuously harassing the massive form of the Night Demon.
The cannons themselves were manageable, but the two missiles released previously were what truly intimidated Night Demon Shado. He could feel the threat they posed, clearly of the same nature as the fire released by the “Chief Priest of the Moon God” earlier!
Under the fighter’s relentless harassment, Night Demon Shado had to abandon the idea of pursuit. Ordering his griffon horde through the Soul Language to continue the chase after Rafael and the others, he then prepared to teach this annoying nuisance a lesson.
Night Demon Shado, with wings spread wide, as massive amounts of Magic Power surged around, an invisible domain began to rapidly expand into the distance.
Hundreds of thousands of Screaming Demons, wraiths, and various undead flying creatures converged around.
Their speed was not sufficient, but their numbers were overwhelming, encircling from all directions. No matter which direction the fighter tried to break through, it would face an endless sea of the undead!
Various ear-piercing shrieks resounded non-stop through the alien sky, and the situation quickly deteriorated. However, Lydia was thrilled to the utmost, intoxicated by the feeling of dancing on the razor’s edge.
Another round of cannon fire hit the Night Demon, and Lydia harshly pulled the control stick to avoid the beat of its bat-wing, then directly plunged into the Undead Sea.
Hundreds of Screaming Demons took the lead, directly lunging at the speeding fighter.
“Ion Overload Mode activated!” Lydia yelled, pressing a red button.
The graphene coating on the surface of the fighter immediately erupted in dazzling thunderous sparks, forming a conical ion layer on the exterior sides of the aircraft. With the fighter’s unparalleled speed, it was like an invincible sword,
Even if these undead creatures were fearless, their remains scattered in the air in bloody debris!
This was a mechanism especially designed by Dennis to handle close combat in emergency situations, inspired by Lynn’s high-frequency vibrating particle knife, still in its testing phase as an onboard attack method.
Flying at supersonic speeds, the fighter was very fragile; sometimes, a small bird could cause a fatal crash.
Thus, Lydia dared not directly collide with Night Demon Shado, but it was convenient to handle these Screaming Demons. As long as their speed was fast enough, the obstructing undead would be sliced in half instantly.
The only downside was it consumed a tremendous amount of energy.
In just one round trip, one-fifth of the energy was gone. Lydia roughly calculated that, considering the energy needed to fly back, this mode could only be sustained for up to three minutes at most!
It seemed necessary to resolve the battle quickly, Lydia thought to herself. Now there were four missiles left on the fighter, and the cannon was nearly spent.
To deal a heavy blow to the opponent, at least three missiles needed to hit.
However, the adversary possessed the ability to unleash large evading storms and even enveloped his body in a layer of wind wall. If released from a distance, they would be detonated prematurely, failing to achieve a significant effect.
Just as Lydia was contemplating, the energy consumption of the fighter suddenly surged, indicating that Night Demon Shado’s Storm Domain was complete!
Within an area of two kilometers covered by the domain, elements in the void began to riot, and a violent storm brewed rapidly.
The elements surged and turned into a hurricane. In an instant, the fierce winds transformed into sharp, deadly weapons, indiscriminately attacking everything around, including the Screaming Demons and other flying creatures within it, dragging tens of thousands of undead into the storm, tearing their bodies to shreds.
Lydia, also within the storm, was greatly affected, the fighter continuously shaking under the influence of the ferocious winds.
