Colonial Suit

“Bang.”

A man completely covered in golden armor was sent flying by a punch from the blood pupil. He completely disintegrated in mid-air, turning into a cloud of tiny crystals. The blood pupil frowned, lowered his head, and glanced at his fist.

Several small holes were seeping blood on the surface of the fist, and tiny crystal particles were faintly visible in the blood.

“Energy infiltration. What an annoying ability.” Feeling the blood vessels in his arm begin to stiffen and grow cold, the blood pupil shook his head. He mobilized the bio-energy within his body. Soon, he felt his arm warm up again and regain its vitality.

“How is it on your side?” he asked Robbie next to him.

“Not good,” Robbie replied, skillfully loading bullets into the chamber. He closed it with a click. “These guys are tough. Uh, I mean, we lack experience fighting magic-armored warriors, Chapter 598: Arrival, Fourth Altar. So it’s hard to adapt to their fighting style. They like long-range attacks too much. And their speed and destructive power are extremely alarming. Even I can hardly overwhelm them in this regard.”

As he spoke, Robbie glanced at his shoulder blade, where a clearly visible hole was on the armor. The surrounding edges squirmed like living things, slowly healing.

This was the result of an attack by a magic-armored warrior just now. The opponent shot out an extremely fast beam of light, and if Robbie hadn't reacted quickly enough, he wouldn't be standing here talking. But even so, the beam easily penetrated his shoulder, leaving such a terrifying wound. This was still the result of him replacing it with the latest liquid alloy armor. If it were ordinary armor, Robbie estimated that nothing would be left of his shoulder.

The magic-armored warriors' attacks were too fast, and their destructive power was astonishing. They were not an object to be ignored.

The most dangerous thing was that they seemed to have some special ability to simulate various effects with energy, making it impossible to defend against.

Thinking of this, Robbie's face twitched. He looked up at the dark passage ahead.

“I really don’t know where these guys came from. They suddenly appeared in front of us, Chapter 598: Arrival, Fourth Altar. Could it be that the defense of the ruins has been breached?”

“I’m not sure either,” the blood pupil replied, also looking up at the cave wall above. After a while, he said, “I didn’t sense anything unusual. Maybe there was a loophole. Or maybe they found other passages. But no matter what, it’s not a good thing. Since they can appear in front of us, it means that more people have already entered the depths of the ruins. The advantage we had so hard to gain has disappeared.”

“Don’t worry, maybe things aren’t as bad as you think,” Robbie thought for a while. He suddenly said, “I noticed that the enemies we’ve encountered during this period have all appeared alone. This shows that even if they have other channels, they are only entering sporadically. Or they simply haven’t found the passage, but have encountered some special circumstances. So our worries are unnecessary. The question is where we, or they, can advance to.”

“If it’s just this floor, then our advantage still exists. But if they can enter deeper, even the core level…” Robbie didn’t continue, but everyone understood what he meant.

The core of the ruins naturally holds the treasures of the Krodel people. If they can enter there, what are others busy with? Even as the heir of Krodel, the blood pupil would probably lose everything.

“We need to speed up,” the blood pupil quickly made a decision. Then he asked to the side, “How are you two? Can you still hold on?”

“Hehe… Where there is big brother Blood Pupil, how could we be missing?” Little Bo Xi leaned against the corner of the wall, panting heavily as she answered. But a naive and lovely smile appeared on her face.

She didn’t have any serious injuries, just some abrasions.

Mi Ya next to her was also in good condition. Hearing this, she gave the blood pupil a sweet smile.

“We’re fine. Thank you, big brother Blood Pupil.”

“Very good,” the blood pupil nodded, and asked about Wright and the others’ condition. Then he led everyone towards the depths. He let out a soft exclamation as he walked not far, when he saw the corpse of a universe mercenary in front of the passage.

That was a universe mercenary who looked very sturdy, his face still retaining the ferocity of battle. But only his upper body was left, and his lower body, including his armor, had completely disappeared. Many granular crystals were scattered near his remains.

“It seems we guessed right. It really is a special situation. They may have been teleported in,” Robbie was the first to step forward to check, and then said to the blood pupil. His face was very solemn. “He encountered a magic-armored warrior here, and the two sides fought. But obviously he failed. This also shows that the combat power of magic-armored warriors is generally stronger than that of ordinary universe mercenaries.”

“That’s for sure,” the blood pupil replied. He had fought against magic-armored warriors. The opponent’s strength was significantly beyond the scope of same-level warriors. And they were extremely prominent in attack.

If a definition had to be given to both sides, then if the average mercenary was at the level of 1, then the magic-armored warrior should be between 1.1 and 1.2, and the stronger ones could even reach 1.3-1.4. In addition, the magic-armored warriors were biased towards attack, so there was almost no suspense in ordinary encounters. This was also the reason why magic-armored warriors ruled advanced civilizations.

Of course, this was not something the blood pupil should consider. What he cared about was the abnormality that occurred in the ruins. Through various signs, it was clear that the people walking in front of him this time were not a few, and their distribution was irregular. In this case, the situation he was most reluctant to see appeared. It was very likely that someone would be directly teleported into the deepest part of the ruins. Thus turning his efforts into nothing.

In such a situation, how could the blood pupil endure it?

Without saying a word, he quickened his pace. He quickly walked into the next passage. Relying on the guidance in the dark, he almost ignored the forks along the way and moved forward quickly.

During this process, he encountered three more attacks of varying degrees. He also killed three powerful magic-armored warriors. At the same time, his exclusive warrior squad finally suffered attrition. A warrior was hit in the chest by the enemy's beam, and his entire body instantly turned into granular crystals. Without the protection of liquid alloy armor, they were extremely fragile in front of magic-armored warriors.

But this could not stop the blood pupil's footsteps. Finally, after twelve hours, they arrived at another vast cave.

As soon as they entered the cave, they saw a miserable scene.

In the vast cave, more than a dozen corpses of universe mercenaries were lying scattered, along with a large number of crystal particles. At the same time, there were seven or eight intact magic-armored warriors next to them, lying straight on the ground like corpses.

On the altar, Boya was sitting on the ground, looking at the blood pupil with a smile on his face.

“You’re so slow, you made me wait so anxiously…”

He said so.
