Chapter 827 The Flood Dragon—Slayed!
A vast, icy, and corrosive dragon breath swept in, its exhaled breath accompanied by a gale.
Su Mei didn't care about anything else and tore off her skirt again to cover her nose.
He also handed some to Cheng Ling Shuang and his own martial uncle, but Cheng Ling Shuang promptly covered her nose.
Li Ming was stunned for a moment. He turned around and looked at Su Mei's ruqun, which was almost torn into strips, and asked in confusion, "The armor I gave you should have the function of phase force field protection. Didn't you feel it when that abandoned dragon attacked before?"
This made Li Ming start to doubt his own product. Did Shi Shangshan Shutian never think about this when he was secretly pretending to combine armor in the office?
After all, compared to Su Mei and Cheng Ling Shuang, Shi Shangshan Shu was a truly ordinary person.
Even though he had been by Li Ming's side for so long, he had not made any progress. In fact, he would even be corroded by Honkai energy after piloting the mecha in an overload state for too long.
It's not a mild case; it's the kind of condition that requires several injections of inhibitors and half a month of rest.
Therefore, the outer protective layer of the ultra-small reactor in Ishigami Yamaso's exoskeleton armor was nested in several layers.
It also features a dual-core drive, but unfortunately it uses an electric drive. Therefore, if Ishigami Yamazō really wanted to rely on his exoskeleton to fight for justice, it would be impossible.
When the ultra-small reactor is activated, it's truly a workaholic, comparable to Ultraman's timer.
It's even faster than Ultraman's timer flashing light, even though it moved the solar power system of a scooter onto its exoskeleton armor.
However, how large can an exoskeleton armor cover? So it still takes three minutes to make one.
I've heard that St. Freya Academy is researching equipping armor with reactors. While nuclear reactors aren't as stable as Honkai reactors, they have the advantage of not causing Honkai disease or Honkai energy erosion.
It might require inserting a conduit or something, since direct wired transmission can save a lot of losses.
Yes, no matter how small it is, it still can't be shrunk down to the point where you can carry it with you.
At the same time, the combat system carried on the armor was optimized. After all, the joints and operating system of such heavy armor require the combat system to predict and calculate.
It seems to be called the Nexus system. Recently, Himeko has been trying to work with the people at the Far East branch to research it.
Although progress is slow, the armor developed by Ryusuke's father-in-law only allows Himeko to face "outsiders", common assassins, and some Honkai Beasts whose size and destructive power are not particularly impressive.
She has now retired honorably, and her half-body Valkyrie armor, called "Polar Ice Blade," which she wore when she was stationed in Siberia, hangs in her wardrobe.
Yes, Himeko's armor sets all maintain the most basic requirements for what she needs to wear.
Perhaps it was a habit that Ji Zi had developed on the battlefield, so Li Ming didn't try to persuade her further, but secretly prepared an escape route for her.
Li Ming, who takes all these factors into account, could not have imagined how useless the exoskeleton armor would be when it comes to heavy helmets and combat decisions without the aid of a combat system.
Therefore, they simply abandoned the helmet design and, like the [Candlelight Armor? First Light], directly adopted the use of phase-transfer mirrors to create a phase field, while simultaneously creating a not-so-powerful energy shield that could withstand most cellular poison gas and corrosive gases.
So when Li Ming saw Su Mei tear off her skirt and use it as a mask, he was somewhat surprised.
"Um... Uncle-Master, you mean the armor you gave me has the ability to protect against these poisonous gases?"
Su Mei was immediately filled with shame. No, wasn't it incredibly embarrassing that she had torn her skirt into strips of cloth?
"What do you think?" Li Ming didn't dwell on the question any further. Su Mei, being more thoughtful, turned the [Sunfire Greatsword] in her hand.
The weapon he had finally managed to obtain was now beginning to break down. Both the core that released high concentrations of Honkai energy and the specially designed and manufactured alloy blade, which could be described as being forged through countless trials, were now showing signs of wear due to the low temperature and corrosion.
Moreover, the dragon's breath and cold air he spewed had completely suppressed the green flames released by Li Ming. This was partly because his [Li Huo Shi? Zhen Kun] armor had not yet reached the point where he could unlock the SS-level passive skill "Li Huo Chi Xin" when fighting [Yong], which would give the entire team a 16% bonus. If the entire team consisted of biological attributes, the damage bonus of charged attacks, branch skills, and ultimate skills would increase by 36%, and the Xuanyuan Sword [Zhen Kun] would also be unlocked.
This explains why Li Ming often used the [Sunfire Greatsword] even though he already had the Xuanyuan Sword.
Unfortunately, the Xuanyuan Sword without the [Zhenkun] enhancement is simply not as good as the [Sunfire Greatsword] in terms of stats!
But now it's really frustrating, my [Sunfire Greatsword], which I finally managed to upgrade to full stars, is finally about to give out.
When the energy of the blade begins to be interrupted and transmitted to the tip, and as a result, the tip develops cracks and corrosion due to the dragon's breath.
Li Ming sighed inwardly and glanced back. Su Mei and Cheng Ling Shuang were hiding behind him.
Holding the [Peerless] and [Crystal Reverse Blade] horizontally in front of them, observing the pervasive dragon breath, it was clear that if any special situation arose, the two would act immediately.
This made Li Ming secretly nod in approval. He wished those brats at his school had such manners. "Ling Shuang, perhaps your sword-testing uncle needs to intervene. If there is another opportunity in the future, your uncle will personally take you down the mountain to test your swordsmanship."
"Yes, Uncle-Master..."
Cheng Ling Shuang clearly didn't care about the impact of the sword trial on her. Perhaps in her view, the sword trial didn't have much of an effect on her. "Uncle, please make your move. Breaking through to the Ming Jing realm is not difficult. I've already grasped the knack..."
Cheng Ling Shuang's words were clearly meant to urge Li Ming to take action as soon as possible, but to Su Mei and Li Ming, they sounded more like words of comfort.
After all, neither Su Mei nor Lin Chaoyu had reached the Mirror Realm level of swordsmanship, and Su Mei had only broken through to that level a few days ago.
How could the two trust Cheng Ling Shuang? Li Ming didn't say much, and directly activated the [Sunfire Greatsword] in his hand completely, using it as a disposable item.
The molten lava-like patterns etched into the surface immediately showed signs of melting, and surging emerald flames erupted from beneath him as he leaped forward.
This activates the skill effect of the [Sunfire Greatsword] itself, [Sunfire Knight], which increases fire elemental damage by 30%.
Of course, the consumption and losses were also enormous, and the jump also benefited from the effect of [Sunfire Impact].
He leaped out and locked onto the dragon, which was only one life left. "A cripple with only one life left dares to play tricks on me."
This sword strike emptied one-third of the dragon's health bar and inflicted a burn on the dragon.
His mouth, body, and even his whiskers were burned to varying degrees, and even the gash on his abdomen was still burning with emerald flames.
After inflicting the burn, Li Ming did not continue to use [Fire Master - Zhenkun] to pursue, but instead switched to his most commonly used [Candlelight Attire - First Light] and unleashed a powerful inch-force attack - Flying Willow.
His body vanished like light and shadow, and in an instant, his shadow appeared beside the dragon. He threw punches, accumulating power. Compared to the hundred-foot-tall dragon, Li Ming was like a mayfly trying to shake a tree.
However, the shockwave caused the ground to tremble. Even after unleashing a set of short-range strikes, Azure Dragon Lightning, it only consumed a quarter of the user's health, leaving five-twelfths remaining.
After Li Ming rushed forward, Su Mei and Cheng Ling Shuang each defended themselves. Now that they no longer had to worry about the corrosive poisonous gas, they only needed to protect themselves.
Cheng Ling Shuang, wielding the [Crystallized Reverse Blade], was even more at ease than Su Mei, since low temperatures had little effect on the [Crystallized Reverse Blade].
The two could only vaguely see Li Ming's figure flickering in the poisonous fog, as if in a frame-dropping motion. They even saw four Li Mings, and the residual crimson lightning spread across the entire body of the dragon.
He used all his strength to paralyze him on the spot.
The final strike: Transformation of Force? Death Style? Ink Chrysanthemum.
Carrying the techniques of the Death Style, this strike, "Transforming Force: Ink Chrysanthemum," with its penetrating force, directly blasted the dragon away.
Although the dragon was still roaring and its tail was shattering the ice in the river, trying to return to the sea along the river, it was too late to do anything about it.
Li Ming, who switched to [Ice Yama? Other Shore], activated his ultimate skill. Before the ultimate skill's energy was depleted, each charged heavy attack [Fleeting Beauty] could inflict the Ice Prison effect.
Under the scraping of [Ice Yama? Other Shore], the dragon could only weep blood and wail, finally collapsing on the mountaintop, its tail and head hanging down on the mountainside of the glass island, its body covered in wounds.
Frostbite, burns, ice chips, cuts, puncture wounds... It's hard to imagine that just a few days ago this dragon was stirring up trouble on the sea, acting arrogantly.
Li Ming put away the [Scattered] and carried it on his back. He didn't even glance at the dragon. Although many assassins and Honkai Beasts surrounded him, wanting to devour the dragon's remains, it didn't matter to Li Ming.
After all, without the most destructive dragon that could stir up storms in the sea, the remaining assassins and Honkai Beasts were no longer a threat.
