The Mech Touch novel Chapter 5424

Chapter 5424 Growth of the Elemental Lords

Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!

The quantity of lightning birds that comprised the 26th wave was already overwhelming!

Energy beams and gauss rounds sought to whittle down their numbers, but these inefficient attacks did not make any significant changes to the threat posed by the attack wave.

Thousands of lightning birds descended upon the fleeing Elemental Lord without mercy!

"Yet just as the momentous and oppressive swarm of birds managed to get close enough, a much larger and more violent phoenix crashed into their midst and began to disperse hundreds of tribulation manifestations with sweeping flames!

"Burn them all! Let your phoenix sweep these birds!"

A lot of observers were surprised by how much stronger the purple phoenix had become.

Though the strengthened energy construct had not grown strong enough to crush this attack wave entirely, it had abruptly grown large and powerful enough to reduce the formidable threat posed by the 26th strike to a manageable level!

The remaining lightning birds that managed to get past this powerful phoenix struck the prepared drone mech and the accompanying fey with slightly greater violence than before, but somehow inflicted less damage per attack.

The metallic reinforcement of the mech frame had grown stronger!

The first brother managed to capture and utilize a greater quantity of metal E energy than before. With all of this extra strength, the internals of the mech had received a crucial boost in strength, enabling the components to weather this tide a lot better than last time!

What was remarkable was that the Elemental Lord maintained a domineering appearance throughout this painful moment.

The mech's aura and demeanor had changed significantly just a short moment ago. It previously gave off the impression as if it was a machine that was constantly on the verge of losing control.

Now, the Elemental Lord had abruptly begun to live up to its name by exerting a lot more control over the elemental energies in the environment.

Its ability to control the forces of nature had improved in a way that made it seem as if the living mech commanded the elements as if there was no reason for the latter to disobey!

The differences were massive.

Not only had the main body and the four fey gained stronger individual control over their elements, but they had found that it became much easier for them to combine their elements together!

Although their ability to merge three elements at the same time was still a distance away from perfection, their chances of producing backlashes had dropped to a massive extent!

All of this was because Ves had secretly embedded one of his gems onto his work.

To be honest, a part of him questioned whether he had picked the right one. There was another gem that also sounded suitable for the occasion.

[RETRIBUTION OF MAKOWOL THE LOST!

A semi-processed gem that contains the irreconcilable soul of a rebel leader who disappeared on the eve of victory. Will impart greater damage resistance from any attacks launched by figures of authority and their oppressed subjects.

Ves released a small sigh. He instinctively felt that this oddly-named gem would have been able to help the Elemental Lord resist the lightning tribulation in a more direct fashion.

However, Ves ultimately concluded that it was a lot more important to increase his powerful mech's mastery over the five elements.

He did not see any reason to regret his choice so far. Harnessing the power of three elements instead of two made such an immediate difference that his mech was in a much better shape than he initially expected!

"Be careful." Ves warned as he was shaking off the lingering shocks from his earlier lightning bath. "The end of the 3rd round is at hand. The 27th wave will stress our defenses like nothing else. Can the fire fey produce another phoenix?"

Major Jankowski shook his head. "I have already made this suggestion, it is not possible. The burden of control is too great."

That was bad news. The fire phoenix had become a lot stronger alright, but there were limits to how extensively a single construct could overcome an entire swarm of lightning birds!

"The only other measure we can take is to pull the fire phoenix closer." The mech officer said. "That will allow us to burn more lightning birds, but it will test the control of all five brothers a lot more."

"This is a matter of life and death for them. They need to take risks."

The two occupants fell silent when the last and most dreaded wave of lightning attacks had emerged from the dark and gloomy clouds.

Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!

Lightning bird upon lightning bird descended from above, each carrying a significantly greater charge than before!

The quantity of birds that descended from above had grown so much that they briefly outshone the dark storm that had spawned them in the first place!

As the lightning birds began to dive and converge upon the Elemental Lord that had begun to move again, they showed remarkably greater intelligence and coordination than before.

"Damnit, they are no longer stupidly trying to chase after our mech in the straightest possible trajectory anymore."

The birds had actively split up into multiple pincers in an attempt to attack the Elemental Lord from opposing angles!

Energy beams and gauss rounds constantly sought to whittle down the great swarm, but its momentum had not dropped in the slightest.

Ves began to have a very bad feeling about this wave of lightning attacks. He made a few quick changes to the settings of his lightning rods to reduce their exposure to external lightning discharges.

He briefly thought for a moment before he made another decision.

He had been testing the boundaries of the lightning tribulation for a while now. Ancient wisdom claimed that any attempts to help the subject survive would provoke a heavier punishment, but so far that did not appear to be the case.

Either the lightning tribulation was not as discerning as he feared, or a creator was allowed to take a few liberties in helping his own work pass this crucial test.

Whatever the case, Ves gained enough courage to intervene in a more direct manner!

"Blinky."

"Mrow!"
