Even if a prophecy about a joyous event was verified, people would usually only say things like "it was supposed to be so" or "it was the trend of the times." Magpies would always chirp, and it wouldn't matter if there was one more or one less.
However, unfortunate prophecies would always be remembered by people. That was because whenever misfortune arrived, the unlucky person would always be eager to find an outlet to vent their anger, such as a jinxed person who appeared ahead of time …
"… You really can't blame me this time. It was just a simple logical decision."
Rorschach said this in an annoyed tone, while a grand "fireworks show" was taking place in the background.
After a wave of dazzling flame attacks, the area outside the forcefield shield had transformed into a sea of flames. What followed next was indeed a dazzling purple barrage.
* Boom! *
The sound of explosions kept ringing in everyone's ears. Even the ground was shaking. The explosions caused ripples to appear on the forcefield shield in front of me, as if they would disappear at any moment.
Boult and his magical armor had been forcefully smashed into the ground. His forcefield shield, which was flickering in and out of existence, was nearing its limit.
"Rorschach!"
"You really can't blame me for this! Didn't I already explain it to you? This is the best choice for the enemy right now. "
Boult, who was in a rather pitiful state, suddenly roared angrily. Rorschach instinctively reacted.
"Who's talking to you about this … Shield up! Give me time to change my shield. "
"Sorry, sorry, I just remembered that my magical armor also has a shield protection function. Is that so?"
Rorschach gently raised the shield that came with his Aurora Dancer armor. A pale blue forcefield appeared below Boult's trembling forcefield shield.
It had an anti-cross design, multiple layers of ice crystals, dual physical and magical defenses, and an ultra-heavy tower shield called Avalanche Defender. This was the pride of the Northlands military industry. It was far better than Boult's tower shield, which was a military product.
* Boom! *
The moment that Boult's forcefield shield shattered, countless purple balls of light crashed into the forcefield shield that Rorschach had just raised. And then … Rorschach was directly knocked to the ground by the recoil.
Rorschach finally understood why Matt had chosen to stab his shield into the ground. It wasn't because he wanted to act cool … Rorschach thought to himself as he lay on the ground like a tortoise.
When the force field shield was raised, the terrifying impact would not only be borne by the shield itself, but the user would also be attacked by the counterforce.
Rorschach's protective shield, which was a generation ahead of the military equipment and claimed to be able to withstand the avalanche of natural disasters, was on the verge of collapsing after a wave of attacks.
There were even some places that had been directly penetrated, with Arcane Missiles passing through and exploding around them.
"… I suspect that I'm using a fake custom-made machine."
"Stop talking nonsense. It's the same no matter what you use."
Although they were complaining, their companions didn't complain much.
After all, everyone was well aware of this situation. The magic armor only enhanced the user's abilities. The user wasn't specialized in defense, and the user's grade wasn't high either. The amount of Mana stored in the magic armor was even thinner. Naturally, the magic armor's force field protection was as thin as paper.
"It's done!"
Rorschach was overjoyed when Boult raised his second shield. He also managed to turn off the avalanche defender that was suppressing him to the point that he couldn't even get up.
Meanwhile, the red military tower shield under Boult's Totemic Warrior's feet had already been abandoned on the ground. All of the indicators on the tower shield were dim and could be destroyed at any moment.
Under normal circumstances, a forcefield shield that had been used to its limit would be recycled and installed on the magic armor to recharge and repair itself. However, Boult had evidently given up on using it again.
"The first shield has reached its limit. This battle will definitely be over once it's repaired to the point where it can be used again. I really don't know how much longer the second shield can last. Damn it, if only Rorschach's shield didn't have so many random locks and verifications on it."
"If it weren't for those forceful verifications and locking systems, it would've been enough to just switch shields. Giving three top-level shields to Rorschach is such a waste."
Magic armor's power system and external systems were all limited. The total requirements of the weapon modules would definitely be less than the maximum load of the power furnace. Boult's Totemic Warrior's two military tower shields were already close to the limit. Rorschach's Aurora Dancer had three even better forcefield shields and other equipment.
Of course, Roxia wouldn't have any problems with switching weapons. Giving a better weapon to a more suitable person was a part of any strategy. However, the Aurora Dancer had a bunch of messy binding systems that firmly determined that Roxia had to be the one to use it. Not only that, it was impossible to delete the Aurora Dancer. This forcefully rejected this possibility.
"Rather than thinking about things that don't exist in the end, it's better to think about how to get through this crisis."
The barrage of arcane spells in the sky had already reached a certain point. It seemed that the newly raised forcefield shields were still quite healthy. However, everyone knew that this was only the first half of this wave of attacks.
"There's still Fina's cold air and Ariel's holy flames of destruction. It should be cold air first … Eh? That's not right! Boult, increase your defenses to the maximum! "
A white light descended from the sky. Scorching white flames scorched the ground. Wherever the white light touched, a huge trench would instantly appear, as if a child was randomly scribbling on a piece of paper with a crayon.
The forcefield shield that had just been raised instantly melted, shattered, and disappeared like butter against a table knife. Boult didn't even have the time to complain about the smoking forcefield shield in his hand. He could only use the last bit of time to roll and dodge.
However, this white light didn't stop there. Instead, it went straight for one person — Rorschach!
"Damn it! I've already been locked onto. "
The white light was simply too fast. There was no way for him to escape.
All Rorschach could do was to raise his cross shield, Avalanche Defender, and hide behind it to reduce the impact as much as possible.
However, even he himself knew that this was just a pretense. He would do his best and leave the rest to fate.
However, at this moment, someone stood up.
A silver-white sword light violently exploded. The military knight armor with the skeleton and death theme took a step forward and fiercely collided with the white light of destruction.
"Lynn!"
At this critical moment, the Headless Knight, who had been so silent that he didn't even exist, stood up.
What followed was a violent explosion. Debris flew everywhere, and the entire scene was chaotic.
"Lynn, are you alright? Answer me … Do something. "
When the smoke dissipated, what appeared in front of the audience and the warriors was a huge trench. The magic knight's sword was completely shattered, and the upper half of the knight's armor had been reduced to parts.
Rorschach didn't get an answer to his question. Just as he was about to hurriedly pull someone out of the magic armor, a thumbs-up suddenly appeared from the driver's seat. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
Looking at the situation, Lynn's magic armor was already destroyed. The Totem Warrior was still grieving over his broken forcefield shield. He probably wouldn't be able to withstand the next wave of attacks. Time was life. Rorschach made a decision.
"Big Brother Lynn, crush that Vital Shield and forfeit. Let Matt enter. We'll be leaving first."
That's right, forfeit. That neglected vital defense could be easily crushed by an expert, and they could also forfeit.
According to the rules, each side had a substitute. So, as long as someone forfeited, the substitute could enter.
At this point, it was likely that some people had already guessed why Roxia would say that his side would be exposed sooner than expected, even though his opponent's scout had already been crippled. Meanwhile, his side had profited greatly.
"His eyes are destroyed. Just get a new pair."
May Rain's backup had another scout. Since Su Xinqi was certain that she wouldn't be able to recover her scouting abilities in a short period of time, having her forfeit and having her backup enter was the best choice.
And since May Rain's location was their current location, it wouldn't even take long for them to switch locations. There was no information on the new scout's scouting abilities, and there was no way to defend against it. Naturally, Rorschach's side would be exposed soon.
But if Su Xinqi voluntarily forfeited, it would be the same as the other side losing a scout. Rorschach's side would benefit greatly as well.
And now, if Lynn forfeited, Matt would have to rush over from where he entered. Matt would have to slowly reequip his Shield Warrior magic armor, and he might even be ambushed midway … Rorschach didn't have much hope. He would just treat it as if Lynn had died.
But now that the ice attack had suddenly disappeared, Rorschach thought of another possibility.
"… If that's really the case, then that person will truly be difficult to deal with."
Time was quite precious. After confirming that Lynn was fine, the remaining three people hurried forward.
