Chapter 488: Guardian of the Ruins

The black stone wall has lines along it, flowing with a blue glow that is visible to the naked eye. The elemental energy extracted from the air condenses and gathers at the engine's propulsion core, exerting propulsion along the predetermined direction.

The area below, as wide as a stadium, is neatly arranged with ten guard structures, which are very neatly gathered and arranged together like fish scales. The mechanical structure seems to have been removed from all flesh and blood and a humanoid skeleton to form its body.

The soulless machine follows the circuit action, taking the instructions left by the builder as its first action principle.

Protect facilities.

This is the only value they have to maintain their own survival.

Protect, defend.

Relying on the ruins' own self-maintenance and power supply equipment, they have been able to maintain their dormant state for several years... Now the power from the outside world has repaired their damage, reshaped the symbol circuit, and awakened the ruins.

Five-meter-tall jointed walking guard structure.

The five-meter-tall walking structure loyally waited for the invaders to arrive silently, and protected the core cabin and power supply cabin that controlled the operation of the ruins behind itself.

'Relic Guard'

Jointed walking structure guard, five-meter level, equipped with a solid airborne shield.

They are not like the completely scrapped ruins guards that Ji Lin found in the ruins of the sky island for the first time. Those completely scrapped ruins guards do not have much technical resources with recycling value.

But they have.

It can also be used as a relic guard, which represents danger, but also represents higher value... and danger.

"What the hell is this!"

The battle mage wearing light guard armor raised his hand to the arcane rifle, replaced the chamber position with a replaceable fixed spell array, and replaced the original light blue pattern module with a metal block engraved with red patterns.

Module, freely switch the rifle firing mode.

Switch between firing energy projectiles of different forms.

In an instant, an orange-yellow fireball condensed in the air, leaving a trail and crashing into the extended spell shield.

Improved fireball, weakening the power while speeding up the flight speed and casting speed of the projectile.

Fist-sized improved fireballs rained down on the mage's armor, splashing out ripples that spread out, and the shield/armor didn't even show a sign of shaking.

"Flame shooting is useless! It can't penetrate this construct shield at all!"

A battle mage shouted to his comrade, and at the same time, he used his extremely amazing nerve firing speed to dodge the light blade swung down by the ruins guard.

Lightweight rune armor is designed to protect soldiers from external attacks, while using amplification runes to enhance the wearer's combat ability.

The blade-like arms flashing with azure light left a deep mark visible to the naked eye on the black stone surface, almost cutting a battle mage in half from top to bottom.

The armor of the battle mage couldn't even hold up for ten seconds in front of these five-meter-tall articulated walkers wielding light blades.

They even suspected that the same-level constructs could not rely on their structures to withstand the blade-like arms flashing with azure light.

"What about lightning spells? It has no effect on airborne shields!"

What's more troublesome is that the equipment on these constructs is an airborne shield improved from the mage shield, and the lightweight weapons in the hands of the battle mage can't effectively break through the ruins guards to deploy the azure shield.

This is a defect of spell weapons, a double defect of energy density and energy output efficiency.

The ten fourth-era battle mages couldn't quickly break through the shields of the two ruins guards.

If there are all these big guys inside... we may not be able to fulfill our lord's expectations.

Our weapons are a little helpless against the two ruins guards that even deal with the gate guards.

Maybe it's because the arcane rifles/magic rifles in our hands are specially used against infantry, and their output efficiency is far less than that of war equipment specially used to fight against constructs.

"Lightning spells are also ineffective! Use formal spells, the spell output speed of these weapons is too slow."

Another feathered battle mage shouted to me.

While moving, the spell rifles in my hands also continuously fired a large number of fireballs at the constructs waving their arms.

The life torso is enough to kill an ordinary person, but the micro fireball has no obvious effect on the shield of the construct.

A formal attack spell is needed.

"You hold it back, I need some time to prepare the spell."

The Elf Battle Mage sat down, took a deep breath, and began to prepare to cast a standard first-level spell with the magic rifle in his hand as the auxiliary medium for casting.

It is still the most effective and direct fireball.

High heat can exert sufficient pressure on any shield device, and the simple and fast casting makes all mages choose it as their first choice to defeat the enemy.

Even if I run back, I can at least bring more intelligence to my lord...

Luckily, we, the highly mobile combat mages, came to explore the way. If the exploration troops were not flexible enough, they would only die when facing the ruins guards...

Unless the number is large enough to exhaust all the energy reserves of the ruins guards.

But that is obviously unrealistic.

In the fifth era, the number of construct units deployed by each lord on the battlefield will show a geometric growth trend.

Their thick armor structure can directly ignore all weapons with low power and filter out the harassment attacks of the enemy's "cannon fodder" troops...

Unable to penetrate armor, naturally unable to cause any damage.

Sulfur fell on the palm of the Elf Battle Mage's hand, drawing a trajectory in the air to form a spell model, and stretched out the magic rifle with the blade hanging down.

Suddenly, the flames fell on the body of the construct, and the shield that did not move finally revealed a flaw in the face of the attack spell.

(I went out to eat tonight, and I will go out to eat tomorrow.)

(Falling.)
