Little Locke wasn't in a hurry to retreat as he faced the rapidly approaching blood elves. Instead, he unhurriedly put on a strange metal hat.
In the next second, three metal balls the size of fists slowly rose into the air, revealing a ruby embedded in a groove. On the ground, the squeaky puppet that had been following little Locke all this time suddenly started to expand. As the metal gears continued to grind and extend, a simple magic machine that was two meters tall quickly took shape.
After doing all this, little Locke fiercely smashed the button on the metal belt at his waist. In an instant, a full protective forcefield enveloped him.
The Invincible Belt was a magical item little Locke had developed himself. Powered by a magical battery, it could support a full protective forcefield. Since it didn't need to provide magical energy from itself, little Locke could still divert his attention to other things after activating the Invincible Belt.
There was a dull thud.
Lonce, who had rushed over, crashed head-first into the translucent forcefield. He immediately felt dizzy and dizzy. But before he could flap his wings and escape, the three slowly rotating metal eyeballs seemed to have received an order and locked onto the bat demon that Lonce had transformed into. Three scarlet, rapid, scorching rays shot out from different angles.
Forty degrees …
Relying on his rich experience, Lonce could determine the intensity of the scorching rays the moment they reached him. Although the intensity of the forty degrees energy rays wasn't great, they had no problem penetrating the bat demon.
According to the blood elves' attack pattern, they should turn back into human form after closing the distance between them and use their swift attacks to circle around the enemy. But this time, the energy rays were constantly shooting out, forcing Lonce to dodge left and right. He couldn't find a chance to attack little Locke's forcefield at all.
Just as the vampire bat was frantically dodging, the simple magic machine on the ground creaked as it rushed over.
Pfft …
The moment they met, the simple magic machine's gift to Lonce was a thick, rolling scarlet pillar of fire. Strange alchemy potions sprayed out of the tiny arms, turning into scorching alchemy flames the moment they came into contact with the air. They chased after the vampire bat and burned it.
The faces of the few blood elves standing at the side instantly turned extremely unsightly.
Damn, why is this little Gnome so insidious …
It was a good thing that Lonce was a quick-witted man. He conjured up a blood mist to protect himself, and flapped his wings desperately to escape the range of the alchemy flames. But as soon as he got out of danger, three sizzling scorching rays shot towards him.
Lonce squeaked as he dodged left and right, barely dodging two of them, but the last one pierced straight through his right bat wing, leaving behind a tiny, charred hole.
Damn it, let's get rid of these three hindering metal balls first!
His thoughts racing, Lonce no longer cared about the little goblin. Instead, he turned and locked onto a metallic eyeball.
As if sensing Lonce's intentions, the metal eyeball that had been locked on no longer stopped its attacks. Instead, it dashed left and right like a nimble bird in the sky, making irregular movements in a wide area. Although Lonce's flying speed was much faster and more agile than the metal eyeballs, it wasn't that easy to catch one that was running away at full speed in such a large area.
Moreover, there were two more metal eyeballs behind him, sticking to him like glue, constantly attacking with sizzling sounds. However, these two crafty metal eyeballs didn't get too close to Lonce. Once they discovered that Lonce had any intention of changing targets, they would instantly switch to bait and hound.
For a moment, the three metal eyeballs had Lonce at a loss as if he was walking a dog.
Puppets that didn't have the ability to fly naturally couldn't participate in a battle in the sky. However, under Locke's command, the golem stopped abruptly in one place. Sharp spikes popped out from its wide metal legs to fix its body in place. The metal shell on its back opened up, and goblin fire arrows protruded out from it like a beehive.
"Locke Improved Enhanced Rocket III, launch …"
As Locke yelled at the top of his lungs, a series of goblin rocket tails spewed out orange alchemy flames, whistling as they soared into the sky.
Lonce, who'd been tormented by the three metal eyeballs, suddenly jolted awake. Only then did he realise that seven rockets were whistling towards him.
Lens let out a strange cry, turning around and rushing down from the sky. He dashed left and right above the small town, the seven fire arrows hot on his heels. The trails of fire left beautiful patterns in the dark night sky.
In order to escape, Lonce couldn't care less about his pride anymore. He dove into the crowd of onlookers, weaving quickly between the legs of the hunters and apprentices. The onlookers were immediately thrown into chaos as they dodged to the left and right to avoid the Goblin Fire Arrows.
Locke, who was wearing the thought amplifier, sighed and sent out an invisible command. The seven goblin rockets that were diving down suddenly changed direction and shot back into the sky, exploding into brilliant fireworks 300 metres up in the night sky.
Curses immediately rang out from the surrounding apprentices, evidently dissatisfied with Lonce's despicable actions.
Celia stood coldly at the edge of the square and scanned the area with her crimson eyes. The voices in the darkness immediately went silent.
Lonce took advantage of Little Locke's fine control of the goblin rockets to rush into the square. He turned into a tall humanoid shrouded in blood mist and pounced at Little Locke's side.
* Whoosh whoosh whoosh … *
For a moment, Rance made full use of his speed and moved quickly around Locke's protective forcefield. His claws, shrouded in blood mist, left blood-red claw marks on the transparent forcefield.
While the close-range attacks weren't strong, the blood mist attached to them had a terrifying corrosive effect. Thick red smoke rose from the forcefield amidst a series of sizzling sounds, a thick layer of the energy membrane visibly corroded away.
Little Locke broke out in a cold sweat. Under his quick control, the three metal eyeballs quickly returned to help, using scorching rays to force Lonce away once more. The puppet rose from the floor again and rushed in front of Locke, shielding him behind it.
Taking advantage of Little Locke's impatience, Lonce forced his way through the scorching rays and successfully destroyed one of the metal eyeballs. However, Lonce paid the price of two holes in his right shoulder from the scorching rays.
If this wasn't a duel, Lonce could've rushed into the nearby forest and healed himself by sucking blood. Unfortunately, there was no 'food' for him to recover in the arena.
Up until now, he hadn't done any visible damage to Little Locke, so there was no way he could heal by sucking blood. As for the eyeball mech and puppet, there was no flesh for him to absorb either.
The few Blood Elves standing outside the arena could not help but frown. Once again, they felt a deep hatred for the Goblin Magic Machinist, a special class that defied humanity.
Perhaps it was the physical damage that made Lonce go berserk. He gritted his teeth and chased after the remaining two metal eyeballs, using his swift flight and extraordinary agility to destroy them one by one.
Without the metal eyeballs to harass him, the clumsy puppet simply couldn't keep up with the blood elf's ghostly figure. Lonce used his speed to shake off the puppet once more, imprinting his bloody claws on Little Locke's protective forcefield.
Finally, under the continuous attacks, the translucent forcefield finally crumbled, revealing the little goblin hiding beneath it.
If this was a forest battlefield, Little Locke could've retreated to the periphery with the cover of his teammates and put up a new protective forcefield after replacing the magic battery on his Invincible Belt. Unfortunately, he didn't have the chance to do so in a duel where life and death could be decided in an instant.
Taking advantage of this golden opportunity, Lonce charged left and right in a frenzy.
In order to rush past the puppet wielding its chainsaw and flamethrower, Lonce even paid the price of having a large chunk of flesh torn off his left shoulder. However, after moving the Puppet Machine behind him, there were no more obstacles between him and the little Goblin.
"Damned little thing, go to hell …"
Lonce, who'd been stifled for the entire night, roared as he charged at Little Locke.
Just as Lonce pounced on Little Locke, his body riddled with bloody holes, ready to kill him, the little goblin didn't run away. Instead, he pulled out a small and exquisite energy ray gun.
"Haha, at a time like this, even the strongest heat ray won't help …"
Unfortunately, before Lonce could finish, a sky-blue ray shot out from the energy ray gun.
Blue?
Before he could finish his thoughts, Lonce's body was enveloped by a layer of blue ice crystals in the span of a finger. The coldness of this layer of ice exceeded that of natural ice. Not only did it freeze Lonce's body, it even froze his thoughts at the same time.
Little Locke jumped, using the alchemy flames at the back of his rocket boots to charge a hundred metres away in one breath before he managed to stabilize himself.
Behind him, Lonce, wrapped in a lump of blue ice crystals, was like a clumsy wild boar as he streaked across the square and entered a simple wooden hut.
A series of terrified screams and the sound of chairs and tables toppling could be heard from the hut.
Freeze Ray Gun!
Little Locke spun the metal gun around his fingertips in a dashing manner, blowing away the nonexistent smoke from the muzzle before sheathing it at his waist leisurely.
There were five strange pistols of different colors inserted side by side, as if every single one of them corresponded to a different elemental energy beam.
