I rely on myself

Chapter 297 Diamond Force

Faced with this even more powerful attack, the puppet girl named Ye Ye had no intention of avoiding its edge, and went straight to close the distance between the two sides.

In just a moment, the knight puppet had brought Ye Ye into the attack range, and the heavy knight spear in his hand stabbed directly down without any hesitation.

Seeing this, Ye Ye raised her petite arm to block the attack, but only for a moment.

"boom----!"

Just like the moment a bomb exploded, there was a heavy roar and the earth could not bear the impact. A large amount of soil was lifted up and the ground was covered with dense cracks.

The already heavy knight's lance, coupled with the help of the shock wave, made the power of this attack comparable to that of the largest caliber artillery. However, as the smoke gradually dissipated, the scene inside shocked most people, and only a few people had a look of understanding in their eyes.

When all the smoke cleared, it was seen that Ye Ye, who most people had expected to be defeated outright, now appeared to be completely intact, her petite arms completely blocking the heavy knight's spear without any sign of reluctance.

Moreover, careful people discovered that under this attack, the puppet girl named Ye Ye was not only intact, but also without a trace of dust on her body. There was a layer of light film on the surface of her body, indicating that she must have used some ability.

Seeing Ye Ye successfully blocked the attack, Lei Zhen did not miss this opportunity. This was a good time to counterattack.

"Ye Ye strikes back, Twelve Light Flames Attack!"

"Yes, Raijin!"

As Lei Zhen's instructions changed, Ye Ye responded and counterattacked at the same time, raising her other petite arm and exerting force suddenly.

The petite fist delivered a powerful blow that even created a noticeable airflow, and the blow hit the knight doll's chest without any deviation.

In just a moment, the knight puppet flew backwards like a cannonball and landed heavily in front of the 99th student. Everyone could clearly see that the knight puppet's chest was completely dented, and there were even some sparks flying out of it. It was obvious that it was seriously damaged.

After only the first round of confrontation, the difference in strength between the two sides was immediately apparent. It was undoubtedly clear that Akabane Raishin was the stronger side.

"It's over." Lin Yuan muttered to himself as he watched the scene.

That’s right, it’s over. Although the 99th student still wants to continue fighting, the winner has indeed been decided, if there are no accidents, Lin Yuan thought to himself.

And what happened next was exactly as Lin Yuan had thought. Although the ninety-ninth student tried very hard to launch a counterattack, he really could not show anything since his own puppet had been severely damaged and his abilities and fighting style were the same as the opponent's, but the opponent was stronger.

After only two or three blows, his puppet was destroyed, and his gloves were naturally not saved, and the winner of the first night of the party was decided.

After watching the entire battle, Lin Yuan did gain something, but overall it was not as much as he had expected.

First of all, he originally wanted to see from this battle how the last descendant of the famous puppeteer clan, Akabane Raijin, would perform. As for the result?
Although he hadn't seen all of his abilities, from the operation, transmission, and unique techniques of Akabane Leizhen's magic in this battle, Lin Yuan had roughly seen his true strength. He was probably only second-rate, and his strength was probably due to his family's inheritance of puppet manipulation techniques, otherwise Akabane Leizhen would really be just a third-rate one.

However, after thinking about Lei Zhen's past, Lin Yuan expressed his understanding. After all, the other party had a poor talent in puppetry since he was a child, and he had a genius older brother as a comparison. Over time, he no longer stayed in the family, but went out to find a dojo to learn swordsmanship.

The reason why he started learning mechanical magic again now was because his family was destroyed two years ago. In order to seek revenge, he picked up the family's inherited techniques again.

Even so, it was only two years, so the opponent was naturally only second-rate.

On the other hand, Lin Yuan also wanted to see the performance of the Moon Girl of Snow Moon Flower, the future divine machine 'Ye Ye'.

Although Lin Yuan had seen through most of the truth with his own abilities before, data and information should be as detailed as possible, and everything shown in this battle proved this point.

In this battle, the reason why Akabane Raimin was able to defeat his opponent in such an overwhelming manner can be said to be largely due to the Moon Girl.

Its unique magic circuit "Vajra Force" demonstrates performance worthy of being the strongest in the world. It can withstand multiple powerful attacks from the enemy without any damage, and not even a trace of dust can be stained on it.

Of course, the Moon Girl is not the only puppet with such defensive power. Among Lin Yuan’s heroic puppets, Karna’s Sun Wheel Armor and Arthur’s scabbard both have comparable or even stronger defensive power.

However, the premise of this comparison is that the magic circuit called "Vajra Force" is not used to its full potential.

Although Ye Ye is showing great power now, this is far from her limit. The best proof of this is that her magic circuit is not fully operational.

Although the magic circuit of "Vajra Force" seems to have a simple effect, it only makes the body have extremely strong strength and power, but its operating principle is to manipulate the molecules that it can reach and control their remote movement.

For example, by keeping the orders still, all external interference can be made ineffective, that is, all attacks can be defended. Another example is by controlling the unified movement direction of the orders, all orders can move in one direction, so that the corresponding attack power will naturally be stronger.

This is the Vajra Power, a magic circuit that requires the user to have the ability to see through the microscopic world, the Mind's Eye, in order to fully unleash its power.

And now Akabane Raimin and his puppet Yaya are only using this ability based on instinct, so naturally they can only bring out a part of the performance of this magic circuit, otherwise the Moon Girl would truly be the 'mechanical girl who cannot be hurt'.

As for the part of the Moon Goddess' body that was related to her transformation into divine power, Lin Yuan had not yet fully seen through it.

Lin Yuan did not feel surprised or disappointed about this. After all, it was something created by a world-class puppeteer who put his heart and soul into it over many years. How could he see through it so easily?

"It's okay, there will be another chance in the future..."

Lin Yuan muttered to himself as he left the venue of the night party and battle.
