Chapter 7 Mechanical Angel

Entering the adventure page.

It was empty inside, no adventures.

"No adventures doesn't mean there are no treasures inside," Gunie mused softly.

"If a child held the crown of a god, the adventure system certainly wouldn't display that crown as adventure content."

"The adventure system isn't some robbery system, much less a dog-eat-dog system."

"Things held by others won't become adventure targets."

"The adventure events and content displayed are all ownerless items; you can get them directly by going there."

"There's no adventure content right now."

"Either there's no treasure valuable enough inside this damaged mechanical ship."

"Although this metal wreckage is relatively rare and precious, it's still just wreckage; in the system's view, it probably doesn't count as treasure."

"Or there are people, or intelligent alien life forms, inside the mechanical ship, and the ship and its precious contents belong to them, so the adventure system hasn't displayed them."

"But..."

Gunie narrowed his eyes slightly, looking toward the area of the shipwreck.

In the area of the mechanical shipwreck, there were only the remains of seven or eight alien creatures.

And most of the alien creatures were outside the main area of the mechanical ship, not approaching the wreckage.

The group of alien creatures that had absorbed living metal to stitch together armor were also scattered on the periphery.

No alien creature approached the mechanical ship.

And this was why Gunie was being so cautious.

Clearly it was very useful to them, but they dared not get too close—that was quite telling.

After thinking it over, Gunie softly chanted a spell in a corner.

A moment later.

With a surge of black light and the release of a peculiar dimensional aura,

a fourth-rank, burly, dark-skinned alien goblin warrior was summoned by Gunie.

Gunie had learned many spells he might need.

For instance, various creature-summoning spells.

"Ook... ook..."

As soon as it appeared, the goblin warrior let out a low growl.

And its goblin warhammer pounded the ground with a bang.

"Go check out that mechanical wreckage over there," Gunie ordered.

"Ook... ook..."

After responding to Gunie, the alien goblin warrior walked toward the mechanical wreckage.

Meanwhile, Gunie used "Link Eye," immersing part of his vision into the alien goblin warrior.

Rounding the corner, when the alien goblin warrior approached the main wreckage to about a hundred and fifty or sixty meters,

"Hum!"

A highly concentrated energy ray burst forth.

The alien goblin warrior had no way to dodge; the energy ray hit it square in the face.

"Thud!"

The alien goblin warrior's massive body collapsed to the ground.

At the same time, its entire head was completely melted, leaving a headless corpse.

"So there is danger!" Gunie's eyes narrowed.

"A very powerful ray, almost instantly melting the head of a fourth-rank alien goblin warrior."

After a moment's thought, Gunie chanted another spell.

A moment later, another fourth-rank alien goblin warrior materialized.

This time, Gunie cast a Blood Sea Shield on it.

"Go to that mechanical wreckage," Gunie commanded.

"Ook... ook..."

The second alien goblin warrior, bearing Gunie's shield, walked toward the shipwreck.

When it reached the position of the first alien goblin warrior,

Zzzz...

The high-energy ray burst forth again.

This time, thanks to the Blood Sea Shield, the alien goblin warrior's head wasn't instantly destroyed.

After about three or four seconds, Gunie's Blood Sea Shield was melted through.

Then this alien goblin warrior, roaring as it charged toward the shipwreck, suffered the same fate as the first—its head was blasted off by the high-energy ray.

"The ray is strong enough, but it's not much of a threat to me."

"Since I know there's an enemy inside, that makes things easier."

"This is an alien passage; any Transcendent Master who enters would be suppressed."

"And if it's not a Transcendent Master, it may not be a match for me."

Glancing slightly at the main wreckage,

Gunie began to formulate his battle plan.

"About three hundred meters away, hidden behind the corner, I can extend my psychic tentacles and bombard it from a distance."

"First, let's bombard it with two hundred small Thunderflame Curses."

"Even if I can't kill the hidden enemy, I can at least destroy a lot of its mechanical weapons."

Immediately, Gunie's psychic tentacles shot out swiftly.

Now, Gunie's psychic tentacles could extend over thirty meters, and in extreme extension, even over fifty meters.

As a domain caster, with the enhancement of his psychic power,

Gunie's casting range naturally increased significantly.

Normally, a hundred and sixty to seventy meters was his standard precise control range.

And at three hundred meters, though precision was a bit lacking, the damaged mechanical ship wasn't going to move.

After preparing, Gunie drank high-grade Essence Source Potion and Tranquil Spirit Potion.

Then,

Zzzzzz...

Dense small Thunderflame Curses, imbued with the dual essences of darkness and destruction, erupted rapidly.

Gunie's single-second overlap wasn't high, just about ten curses per second.

Two hundred small Thunderflame Curses, finished in twenty seconds.

With the eruption of black lightning tinged with purple,

dense lightning curses carrying penetrating power bombarded the ship continuously.

Living metal, though itself immune to lightning curse damage,

had good conductive properties.

The living metal was fine, but the intelligent life inside wasn't so lucky.

When Gunie had been casting for about five or six seconds,

"Hum~~ hum~~ hum~~~"

Some kind of engine roar sounded from within the shipwreck.

At the same time, Gunie sensed a dense source energy blooming intensely there.

Gunie's expression shifted slightly.

"Some kind of miniaturized source energy furnace engine?"

While bombarding with small Thunderflame Curses,

the demonic secondary soul quickly cast Dragon Scale Forbidden Curse on Gunie.

The mechanical shipwreck from an alien star, living metal, energy rays, and the sound of the source energy furnace engine—

this enemy seemed far from easy to deal with.

"Damn native scum, I'll kill you!"

A furious roar in an alien language exploded from within the mechanical shipwreck.

Accompanied by a powerful roar,

"Boom!" a blast sounded.

A burly, massive figure burst out from the broken wreckage.

It had a steel-like body, radiating a dense life aura, and behind it floated mechanical gear wings.

This was clearly a mechanical angel forged from living metal!
