Chapter 247 - Iron Bird

Wain realized that the Constructs in front of them were the main ones here, so he decided to use his most powerful weapon right away. 

He chose to activate Blind Sorcerer because Cursed Swordsman and Black Sun Aristocrat had too extensive and destructive skills.

Wain didn't want to destroy the military base where the equipment of the most technologically advanced race was now located in addition to the equipment. He needed pinpoint and powerful weapons, and the third form was perfect for that.

The others also prepared for combat, and Wain attacked immediately. Two gray magic circles appeared next to him, and energy arrows flew out of them. The arrows increased in number with each second, and they came down on Constructs like a hail of arrows.

However, their enemies had no intention of retreating. One of the Constructs with the square module used skill, and an iron barrier appeared over them. 

Then the Construct with the round module put a protective coating on the barrier against energy attacks.

However, it didn't help them. The gray arrows easily penetrated the barrier and instantly killed several Constructs. They were shocked by Wain's power, which was just the beginning.

He folded his arms together, and a massive magical circle appeared above the Constructs, and many thin beams shot out. Each beam was comparable in power to a Magic Missile and had high penetrating power.

Constructs tried to dodge this fire, but Wain's mates joined the battle at that moment. Reto created powerful illusions that dealt with damage and attacked Constructs with round modules.

Frigus entered the battle with one Construct who had a long, massive sword. They fought like two swordsmen at high speeds trying to hit each other. Frigus gradually won, as his attacks were more precise and his movements more skillful.

His icy swords shone brightly, and he made a sharp swing leaving a wide wound on his enemy's chest. Frigus lunged forward and severed Construct's head with two swords from different directions.

Luar and Gisle didn't stand by. They used their powerful skills, and one of the Constructs died every few seconds. Luar tore their flesh and blood with his golden claws, while Gisle filigreed, like a surgeon, to hack them apart with his katana.

During the World of Darkness trial, Gisle was given a new, powerful weapon against which no First Chronicle creature could withstand.

Elegan and Edena did not participate in the battle. Elegan was focused on protecting the girl and had no intention of leaving his seat. He understood better than anyone how important Edena and Lui Bu were.

Elegan knew a little about alchemy, or rather he understood how that science worked. The progress of their young alchemists was amazing. Elegan wondered where Wain could find these amazing people.

"You bastards!" The girl shouted, and suddenly she noticed Edena.

She looked her over for a while then her eyes went wide.

"What? You're Construct, but you help them kill your people? You vile traitor!"

"It was you who betrayed me, not me who betrayed you." Edena replied coldly.

The girl tried to attack her, but suddenly Wain appeared before her. His palm glowed brightly, and he struck the girl sharply in the stomach. 

A magical pulse was created that tore the girl's flesh apart and threw her aside several meters away.

However, the girl's suit quickly repaired her wounds, and she got into a protective stance.

"Do you really think you can defend yourself? Huh, that's crazy." Wain said smiling.

"Shut your mouth and attack. You can't even scratch me." The girl replied confidently.

"Huh, you're too arrogant." Wain uttered and put his hand out in front of him.

A magical little magic circle appeared in front of him. In the time, it began to grow larger until it was larger than Wain. Then he clenched his hand into a fist, and there was a powerful burst of energy. A huge beam came down on the girl.

She used several skills, and protective barriers appeared in front of her, but they could not withstand the beam's power and broke after a few seconds.

"What...?!" The girl screamed, and the snow-white energy engulfed her like a flood.

Wain canceled the form and looked around. The battle was already over, and he had killed the last survivor with his attack.

"Huh, they turned out pretty weak." Luar muttered.

"It was obvious." Reto said.

"Okay, now that we've gotten rid of most of the problems, it's time to see if anything is interesting here." Wain said.

"Yes, but first, I think we need to destroy the portal and find out what's in that passage." Gisle pointed to the portal.

"I can do that easily!" Luar exclaimed and activated one of his skills.

His eyes glittered, and the mark of a lion appeared on his chest. At that moment, all his stats increased significantly, and he brought his claws down on the barrier like a fierce lion. 

It took him a few minutes to destroy it, as well as destroy the portal.

Wain thought about entering the portal and finding out how the Constructs had come into his world, but it was too risky. He had never used a portal before and had no idea what was on the other side.

"Okay, now it's time to find out what's out there." Gisle uttered and headed toward the passageway. The others followed him.

...

There was a spacious room inside which there was only one thing. However, no one expected to see just that.

It was a huge, high-tech plane, which Constructs use in their world. The plane looked something like a spaceship because of its unique shape and functionality.

"Fuck...looks like we hit the jackpot..." Luar muttered, "That's what I'm thinking. Right?"

"Yeah, we're definitely all thinking the same thing." Gisle uttered.

"Edena, do you know how to run this?" Wain asked.

"Yes, don't worry. All planes of this type have AI, but there's probably a block there. I'll try to hack it."

"Okay, Elegan, you stay here with Edena. We need to explore this place and find all the useful equipment and gear the military base has."

...

There were still a few robots left in the depths of the military base, but the group had no problem dealing with them. Unfortunately, the military base was devoid of intact equipment. The Constructs destroyed or disassembled all the planes and helicopters.

However, as Edena suggested, they left some of their equipment here. Wain found the alchemical laboratory that Edena spoke of.

The lab wasn't particularly large, but it had everything they needed, ovens, boilers, flasks, freezers, and so on.

"Not bad, with this Edena and Lui Bu can definitely make some serious progress. Maybe they can create some useful potions or a pill before I go to the island. That would be a great boost." Wain muttered and went back to Edena.

There the others were already waiting for him.

"Wain, Edena was able to unlock the plane, now we can get to the island." Gisle said.

"Great, Edena has alchemical equipment here. It's been a successful hike, but now there's one last problem left to solve.. How do we get the plane out of here?" Wain asked.
