Star Abyss Walker

Chapter 218 Fire Feather
"Boss, you're such a jerk!"

As Cai Cai furiously fired at the Dark Tide soldiers, she yelled, "You're such a good hider! I only just realized that the unassuming sword in your hand is actually a power sword!!"

"that is!"

The fat man said, "You even kept it from me!"

I felt a surge of secret pleasure. The power sword's design was quite powerful; decapitation meant instant death. No matter how many health bars the opponent had, decapitation would instantly kill all of their health!
Of course, beheading wasn't so easy either, because the opponent was a second-generation armored warrior, which is why beheading was so easy.

As for the second-generation armor and above, the opponent is basically also equipped with a power sword, and their swordsmanship level is also high. They will not expose such an important vulnerability as the neck. Moreover, the hood of the third-generation armor is reinforced and is not so easy to cut open. If you pursue decapitation without the right conditions, you may expose your own vulnerability instead.

In short, you'll gradually get used to and learn how to use a power sword!
"pretty good!"

Ruolin laughed and said, "We'll just take care of shooting down the fragile vanguard team. We'll leave the power armor warriors to Ding Han; that's the most efficient way."

……

So, I rushed up the hillside, Lord's Shield in my left hand and Power Sword in my right, and engaged another second-generation Dark Tide Warrior in a fierce battle. After a few sword strikes, I gained the upper hand, first severing his sword-wielding arm, then cutting off his head, and in the blink of an eye, I had completed the kill!

It went so well!

In this way, the second-generation armored warriors, who are blue BOSSes, have really become experience packs in front of me. With the power sword, I have already achieved a dimensional reduction attack on them!
Two minutes later, the outer Dark Tide squad was completely wiped out. All eight second-generation armor elites were killed, and the remaining vanguard members were also shot dead by Cai Cai and the others. The hillside was filled with a strong smell of burning.

"rustle……"

Amidst the sound of footsteps, a group of Red Dragon soldiers rushed forward. Immediately afterward, a commander wearing power armor with the rank of major emblazoned on the neck of the armor stepped forward. He looked down at the corpses scattered on the ground and the power armor soldiers whose armor had been cut open. Then, he saw the power sword in my hand, still gleaming, and a look of surprise flashed across his eyes.

"Did you wipe out this Dark Tide squad?" he asked.

"Ah."

Cai Cai and I nodded together.

"Excellent! Your outstanding performance is truly gratifying!"

He said in a deep voice, "I am Linley, the commander of the 27th Battalion under the 99th Division of the Crimson Dragon Legion. I am currently tasked with suppressing the Dark Tide's attack from the flank. I have a task for you, and I wonder if you are willing to accept it?"

Someone has posted a task!
Cai Cai and I exchanged a smile and nodded in unison: "Okay!"

"it is good!"

Lin Lei waved his hand and pointed southwest, saying, "Two miles away is a supply base of the Dark Tide. They have stockpiled a large amount of ammunition there, but they have an elite squad stationed there. I hope you can break through their defenses and blow up the ammunition depot in the base. This will slow down their attack and give the main position a chance to counterattack!"

The next second, a ding-dong sound came from beside my ear—

Your squad has accepted the battlefield mission "Raid the Dark Tide Ammunition Depot" (Rank A)! Mission objective: Destroy the designated ammunition depot. You will receive a very generous reward!

……

It's all the same old thing, another bomb depot!
"Let's go."

After switching to explosive rifles, we turned around and led everyone away. After passing through a small patch of woodland, we arrived at the Dark Tide Base, which was cordoned off. Vanguard team members were on guard duty around the perimeter, and more than a dozen armored vehicles carrying heavy weapons were patrolling. In addition, there were some scattered second-generation armored warriors patrolling. They were all blue BOSSes. The overall defense of this base was indeed quite good.

"call……"

Cai Cai said, "There are too many people. If we charge in headfirst, we might suffer losses. If we get locked onto by their heavy weapons, we risk death."

Huo Bingzhi nodded. The scene before him was indeed a bit frightening, making him feel afraid.

"fine."

I frowned: "I'll just use a bio-electromagnetic pulse to paralyze those tanks and power armor soldiers in one go, then everyone rush over and detonate the ammunition depot. Be careful of your own safety."

"Using electromagnetic pulses so soon?" Ruolin asked with a smile.

"Use it early, get CD early!"

"That makes sense..."

The next second, I was charged up, and strands of blue electricity rippled across my body, eventually gathering on my back and transforming into a dense electromagnetic pulse that shot out in all directions!

"Bang~~~"

An electromagnetic storm swept across, instantly destroying all electronic systems in the Dark Tide base and shutting down almost all vehicles, weapons, and power armor!
"on!"

Clutching a bomb gun, he led the group in, firing away as they went, also taking down a few second-generation armored soldiers who were standing still and had lost power. Blue energy crystals were always a good thing; at the very least, they could yield experience points, and with a bit of luck, they might even get a blue piece of equipment. Although the price of blue equipment was constantly depreciating, they added up, and no one was too concerned about having more.

"033, you traitor!"

From the crowd, an officer wearing the rank of captain roared, clutching a submachine gun: "You traitor, you single-handedly wiped out the Grey Worm Chapter and brought shame upon the Dark Tide! How dare you show your face again? Our Fire Knights Chapter will definitely kill you and avenge the Grey Worm Chapter!"

Before he could finish speaking, he fell to the combined fire of Cai Cai and Fatty. He was a typical example of someone who was weak but talked a lot!

……

"Ammunition depot!"

I looked into the distance, hurriedly directing everyone to retreat. At the same time, I turned around, pulled the pin on a grenade, and threw it about 30 meters away! "Whoosh!"

The grenades flew into the ammunition depot, followed by a series of explosions!
"go!"

The seven people were propelled forward by the shockwave of the explosion and rushed into the dense forest in the blink of an eye. Then they heard a bell ringing in their ears, indicating that the mission was complete!
[Congratulations! You have completed the battlefield mission "Raid on the Dark Tide Ammunition Depot" (Rank A), and have received the following rewards: 120 million character experience points and 1200 reputation points!]

It's alright, as long as you have reputation points!
……

In the forest, the seven men raced towards the main battlefield.

"Om~~~"

Suddenly, the surrounding sky turned pitch black, until you couldn't see your hand in front of your face. At the same time, a buzzing sound filled my head, and I felt a strong tearing pain.

"Fuck!"

The fat man was shocked: "What's wrong?"

"Be careful, it's mental control!"

Fa Ye Chaochen suddenly brandished his exquisite staff and shouted, "Stardust Perception, activate!"

"Pong!"

Strands of stardust erupted from his body, instantly dispelling much of the surrounding darkness, much like a gust of wind blowing away the black dust.

Stardust Perception, a fourth-tier skill of the Star Speaker, can detect invisible units and traps in the surrounding area, and also has a certain effect on breaking various control and mental illusions of the same psionic type.

"Hmph, there's actually a damned Star Speaker here!"

A voice came from the air, and then suddenly strands of blood-red threads rose from the ground, binding the legs of each of us.

[Battle Prompt: 〖Psionic Officer Firefeather〗 (Purple BOSS) has used the skill 〖Blood Tide〗 on you. Your mental strength has granted you 67% immunity to control duration, changing the control duration to 1.65 seconds!]

……

Another psionic officer!
The Dark Tide's psychic officers are always unpredictable. In an instant, all seven of us were controlled by the Blood Tide skill. Among them, Fa Ye Chaochen had the highest mental strength and was only controlled for 0.7 seconds. Next was Kou Mei, who was controlled for 0.85 seconds. Then came Huo Bing Zhi Ri. The others were controlled for longer, especially Fatty, who was controlled for a full 4.2 seconds. His mental strength was too low!
"033!"

In the air, a psionicist dressed in a purple robe gracefully descended, his eyes filled with jealousy and hatred: "You traitor! Without Dark Tide's cultivation, how could you have achieved what you have today? Instead of repaying Dark Tide's kindness, you repay evil with evil! Die!"

With a flick of his hand, countless blood-red threads rained down from the sky!

"Fuck you!"

My gaze turned cold, and my body suddenly sank. In the instant the Annihilation Rock Armor was applied, I threw a Heavenly Craftsmanship Technique at the opponent, followed by an explosive charge that pierced through his body!

A single, decisive blow knocked him unconscious!
Turning around, he unleashed a devastating attack, followed by a series of basic attacks, combos, basic attacks, Ash Sweep, and basic attacks, instantly increasing the damage of the devastating attack by as much as 110%!

"033, how dare you..."

Fire Feather roared, his eyes filled with ferocity!

Rising Dragon Slash!
The next second, the Wind Chaser unleashed a rising storm, sending Firefeather flying into the air. A series of attacks followed by a combination of basic attacks, Dragon Blade, basic attacks, Ground Spike, and basic attacks rained down on him, each strike dealing massive damage. Although his psionic energy surged, it couldn't withstand the disintegrating force field of the power sword. His body disintegrated and annihilated the instant it touched the blade, leaving a gaping wound from which blood gushed forth, turning the area into a bloody mess in the blink of an eye!
"14762!"

"30881!"

"16885!"

"59923!"

"19889!"

……

The damage is off the charts, it's like cutting vegetables in half!

Power swords ignore defense, so even without decapitation or critical strike effects, they still hurt terribly. At this point, my maximum attack power is 3458, plus a 40% bonus from sword-type super weapons, another 40% bonus from a full set of purple gear, and a 20% damage increase. With the power sword ignoring defense, the opponent's armor is practically zero. In fact, the damage from the very first strike already reaches 7000+, completely overturning the current understanding of melee combat in Star Abyss!

Firefeather, a dignified psychic officer and a level 45 purple BOSS, was completely powerless against the Wind Chaser's fierce attack, and his health bar dropped like a water pump!
Immediately afterwards, the Cold Star continued to control the opponent, followed by a Bloodthirsty Strike combo to deal damage. By the time the combo was finished, Fire Feather's 50 HP bar was almost empty!
"Holy crap, that was way too fast..."

Cai Cai, Hao Ye Chao Chen, and the others were dumbfounded.

Huo Bingzhi was stunned: "This is still a purple BOSS?"

"What are you waiting for?!"

I whirled around, holding my power sword horizontally in front of me to absorb the opponent's psionic damage, and shouted, "Are you still going to take the purple treasure chest for free? Hurry up and make your move!"

"oh oh!"

A group of people worked together quickly and easily to defeat Huo Yu!
