Chapter 454 - Counterattack

Wallace and the Celestial arrived above the Invader Spaceship…

The huge elongated ship filled with many turrets and cannons doesn't seem to be active but Wallace knows that it is just the surface.

Invaders are normally used for a surprise attack so they are made to look like this.

Thud! Thud!

Nevertheless, he can see that not too far from the spaceship, there is a built camp where multiple imperial soldiers including a few Khrusams seem to be enjoying their free time.

They are playing around with some captured magicians as they ordered them around to use magic like fireball and water splash…

'How carefree… They seemed to have thought that this planet is already in their hands.'

Wallace thought as he glanced in another direction. The place is another camp where the worker androids are continuously mining the Memory Crystals and other precious stones they could find.

He could guess that it is where they are keeping some useful natives…

"Sir Celestial, let's avoid killing the innocent civilians…" 

"Hmm… Differentiating them is easy. It can be done."

Clang! 

Wallace was about to thank the Celestial when he heard the sound of a bell followed by a loud, high noise that comes from inside the spaceship.

It is a siren informing about the presence of their enemies…

Thud! Thud! Thud!

It seems that they already noticed that someone had invaded their air space and moved their cannons and turrets…

'That took a while…' Wallace smirked at the slow response of the Imperial Army. 

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Of course, the two didn't bother to dodge these Legion CIWS that the spaceship hastily used against them. 

This is just their way to buy some time for their main weapons and fighters to get ready.

The Celestial Being just raised his hands a bit as all the bullets fired on them missed completely. 

Clank! Clank! Clank!

Finally, several hatches from the spaceship opened.

The battle immediately started heating up as the Invader Spaceship released the Mech Knights and Khrusams to intercept them…

On the other hand, the Bio-Armored Imperial Soldiers remained on their grounds as if they are expecting an attack from other directions.

It seems that they couldn't believe that only two flying natives are trying to attack them!

"Sir Celestial, let me handle some of those Khrusams and the Mech Frames… Please focus on destroying the spaceship."

"Very well."

Whoosh~ 

Wallace vanished from his previous position and reappeared behind a couple of Dragon's Warrior Mech that is about to use their Subspace Blaster.

Unfortunately, he doesn't have the power to take them head-on yet, especially if there are multiple of them firing at once. There

"Lightning Break!"

He used the most effective secret art against these machines… Though they possess a level of resistance, his technique isn't just a simple electric discharge as it has mana into it destroying the internal parts of the Mech Frames…

Bam! Bam!

The two Mech Frames that were hit exploded as they dropped to the ground!

This happened about three more times before they have decided to change their tactic… Now, there are two Serpent's Marauder Mech Frames guarding each Warrior Mech. 

Apparently, the Serpent's Armor Technology called Twilight Armor is still something that is considerably tough to deal with… Wallace would no longer be able to one hit them...

Clang! Clang!

Wallace hit the Twilight Armor really hard but he only managed to cause some damage… Perhaps, if he could hit them with Lightning Break 8 or 10 times, he would be able to break their armor…

'Impressive… I really want to get this technology.' Wallace thought as he was suddenly warned by Avalon about the traces of Psionic Pulse being activated.

The warning allowed him a valuable three seconds to move away from his position. 

'Tsk… I can probably endure it but that would exhaust me a lot.'

Aside from the troublesome Twilight Armor, the Psionic Pulse that directly attacks the target's body and could ignore most of the defenses is also problematic to Wallace. 

Nevertheless, he knows that he still has an advantage.

As long as he could attack before they could activate their weapons, he would be able to destroy them…

"Hmm?"

Whoosh~

It is the confrontation of the Khrusam's death energy and his seventh-gen artifact.

He looked below him and saw a group of 20 Khrusams using their Corpse Furnace to attack him… Aside from that, he noticed that they have actually activated their third eye already!

It seems that they have recalled who he was… 

There was no way that his face wasn't reported after what he did in the Imperial Flagship in the first place. 

Aside from that, he looked at the group of imperial soldiers on one camp as they wore their bio-armors and hi-tech guns.

Several lasers fired at him as he did his best to defend himself using his Astral Shell… A variation of Mana Shell that is made of his Astral Core.

"Hmph! Bring it on!"

Wallace was fire up as he unleashed his strength… He activated his Aeon Guardian making him invincible for a few minutes…

Nevertheless, he decided to instead use this time to activate the final skills of the Secret Art: AOTL.

Soon, everyone heard a deafening roar followed by several explosions on the ground!

This is the Roar of the Thundering Destruction which is considered as the final stage of the Grand Arcanist Slaine's Technique!

He used this technique not just once or twice but more than ten times before he managed to destroy most of the Imperial Soldiers, Khrusams, and all the Mech Frames.

Wallace then heard another series of explosions as he saw the Celestial Being coming in and out of the Invader Spaceship.

It seems that he actually enjoys tormenting the imperial army inside…
