Everything happened at a fast pace. The Montebras were in the process of charging from one end to the other end of Phoca Arena.
During this short but crucial interval, the two lancer mechs had to find a way to successfully drive their lances through the frames of the two opposing drone mechs.
The Montebras already solved one problem by using their electrical bolts to accurately distinguish the real mechs from the surrounding illusions.
There was nothing wrong with the visual illusions and the false emissions projected by the offensive fey. They had successfully fooled the relatively modest sensor systems of the Montebras, but they failed to take more physical detection methods into account!
Illusions were ultimately false and intangible in the end. There was no way for the luminar crystal cannon fey to produce the correct kind of response when they were inexplicably zapped by electric bolts.
However, locking onto the real mechs was not enough for the lancer mechs.
If the Montebras wanted to drive their lances into the Fey Fiannas, they needed to be able to catch up to the relatively fast and agile drone mechs!
Ironically enough, the limitations of the mech arena actually made it a little easier for the Montebras. They weren't able to build up a lot of momentum, so the mechs could change their course a lot easier in a situation where their speed was quite modest for their mech type.
Yet that was not enough to secure a high success rate.
This was why the supercharged Montebras resorted to another solution, one that directly took advantage of all of the electrical energies produced through mysterious processes!
Two streams of lightning instantly formed between two pairs of mechs.
Each lancer mech channeled much of its electrical energies to its target on the other side!
The mech pilots of the Fey Fiannas reacted with surprise at this unexpected move, but found that the electrical streams were much less threatening than they appeared.
The constant flow of electricity continually tried to lock onto the metal frames of the main bodies, but became blocked by the water energy shields.
Yet that was not the purpose of this highly unusual phenomenon.
Once the electrical streams had been formed, the Montebras became attracted by the Fey Fiannas.
Literally.
The effect was not that obvious when there was still a lot of distance between the two sides, but as the Montebras rapidly closed in, the purpose of these odd electrical streams became more and more evident.
Somehow, two pairs of mechs became affected by electromagnetic forces that physically tried to pull them together!
Similar to how an electromagnet was able to attract ferromagnetic metals, the Montebras had essentially turned into powerful directional magnets that channeled all of their excess power into pulling in their chosen targets!
So long as the electrical streams tied the opposing mechs together, there was no way to block this inexplicable effect!
The Montebras had to exert a huge amount of effort to maintain this exceptional state. Electrical sparks continually blasted off its exterior as the machine continually converted a huge amount of metal energy as well as its own energy reserves to sustain this powerful phenomenon!
A lot of heat radiated from the Montebras. It became clear that their exertions were so heavy that they were already beginning to strain their heatsinks!
Ves could even tell that all of the forces and energies acting on the Montebras were taking a horrible toll onto their internals.
He did not think it was possible for these lancer mechs to pull off this dramatic move a second time!
The mechs already started to release the awful kind of smoke that could only be produced when components started to short circuit!
Yet all of the self-inflicted damage appeared to be worth it as the electromagnetic pull became stronger and stronger as the lancer mechs came closer to the elusive drone mechs.
None of the fey could do anything to stop the impending collision from happening.
The energy shields produced by the two defensive fey might be able to bleed away a bit of energy, but they would probably be nothing more than speed bumps in front of the two powerful lancer mechs.
The continuous barrage of fire laser beams was taking a toll on the defenses of one lancer mech, but the machine carried more than enough frontal armor to withstand all of the incoming laser attacks before it was able to complete its charge attack.
The mech pilots of the Fey Fiannas practically despaired as they saw the approaching lancer mechs magnify in front of their views at an alarming pace.
The Fey Fiannas did not give up, though. They started to make a lot of lateral movements. The more they moved sideways relative to the incoming lancer mechs, the greater the chance that they could evade the crucial charge attacks!
Yet as the distance continued to drop, the electromagnetic attraction forces rapidly rose in strength!
When the two mechs were only a few instants from making full contact with each other, the pull exerted by the mysterious electrical streams had become so strong that it seemed as if the two opposing sides were fated to 'meet' each other!
Naturally, the Fey Fiannas were not willing to connect with their fated partners at all! None of their attempts to shake off the attraction forces succeeded.
During the final moment before collision, the Fey Fiannas made a few unusual moves.
First, they hung as close to the large energy shields as possible. This would ensure the lancer mechs would painfully collide against the powerful defensive barrier if their momentum was still too great.
Second, all 6 offensive fey moved further away in an attempt to escape whatever might happen once the lancer mechs struck their targets.
Third, the two defensive fey overloaded their energy shield generators as much as possible. The subordinate spirits that were driving the two fey also did their best to channel their artistic conceptions as much as they could during this crucial interval. freeweɓnovel.cøm
A water dragon circled around a whirlpool! Both illusions put themselves in the middle of the electrical streams, causing them to crackle with lots of sparks, but utterly failing to break off the connections.
Fourth, the fey all removed their modular armor plates at once, causing them to expose their vulnerable internals.
