Chapter 1109 First Battle End
-----
Once I was able to activate my own {Demon Aura} by using one of the Demonic Energy Batteries these machines materialize upon their creation, the Skill's special effect was activated, making them much stronger.
-----
Each Class Special Skills, Abilities, and Magic Spells is further boosted by the Summoner as long as they're within a 300-meter vicinity of the machines and while they have activated a {Demon Aura}, further increasing their Power and Effects by 400% (+40% x Skill Level) and granting any of the machine's attacks a 20% chance to cast [Paralysis] or [Terrible Bleeding] on foes per physical attack.
-----
With this, not only they had increased power in terms of Skills, Abilities, and their Magic, but they even gained the ability to inflict status effects on our foes.
The tank-type mechs swung their huge axes, slashing through the Xenoids, some of the aliens groaned, suddenly their wounds became unable to regenerate, constantly bleeding their fluids.
Others were immediately paralyzed, only capable of watching as they were killed by my spear piercing their main bodies and blowing them up into pieces.
"Hmm."
I looked up, the swarm of Xenoids that had appeared must have been part of a much larger colony chasing the mothership. However, right now there weren't any more coming from the visible horizon.
There were roughly forty more left, still a sizable amount, the casualties of the pilots weren't small either, we were around two hundred, based in all the machines I've collected, over forty of them had died already.
Those that died didn't even left behind bodies, the Xenoids devoured them completely, probably assimilating all their flesh and growing larger and smarter.
"Everyone that is watching right now, regroup with me! Using the Neutonium Core Ability I recently awakened, I can now turn destroyed machines into new mechs! I you want to live, stick to my army and support them!"
With a command sent to every single pilot within my surroundings, they were quick to answer, immediately flying to my side.
"Hahah! What the hell Blake?! Since when you had such a powerful ability!"
"Did you see his movements? Is he even the same Blake as before?"
"Shut up already, I don't have time for this shit! I don't want to die!"
The pilots all started talking one after another through the connected network that every machine had with one another.
"While you're behind the Xenoids, aim at their true bodies once the Placentoid is destroyed!"
With my commands, they moved quickly, using their long-electrified spears, specifically designed to pierce through the true body of Xenoids and destroy them from the inside out, began to quickly impale them one after another.
Their movements were sluggish and clunky, they weren't as capable as me in terms of movement and technique, even less dexterity. It felt like as they moved, they weighted a hundred times more than I did.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
However, they got the job done anyways, their spears impaled the aliens' true bodies once exposed, killing dozens within seconds and then finally open the way to join my forces.
However…
"Help! Someone…!"
"Someone, help us!"
"Aaaggh! I don't want to die!"
Suddenly, a message came, someone started screaming to my left, I moved there, finding a group of three pilots being surrounded by ten Xenoids, their tentacle piercing their machines after tearing apart the armor.
I have to keep as many pilots as possible alive, the trial stated that after all, so I went to their rescue without hesitation, keeping up the momentum of my constant barrage of piercing spear attacks, I combined my previous technique with my Demon Aura, creating a powerful echo.
The Xenoids attacking them noticed me, quickly trying to stop me, several others came chasing me down too, yet my machines and the new pilots that joined me stopped them.
"Good, thank you!"
With a smile, I attacked the foes in front of me as the propulsors of my machine went full power, helping me move at tremendous speeds.
{One Hundred Spearmen's Spirit Exploding Spear Attacks Echo}: [One Hundred Demonic Spears Inferno]!
The Demonic Energy of my Demonic Aura, fueled by the battery I was holding with my other hand, quickly transformed into deadly, demonic flames that burned even in space where there was no oxygen.
The blazing spear attacks reached the Xenoids, resembling an inferno of blazing weapons engulfing them. these aliens had never seen such a thing in their lives, unable to respond, they exploded into pieces and burned away.
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
"Are you okay?!"
I quickly reached the pilots, two of them were fine but one of them had their mech broken open and one of their legs was pierced, they were rapidly losing oxygen.
Above all, the leg that was pierced was wriggling with small tentacles, as he screamed in agony, his gurgling noises echoed within the transmitter.
"Uuaagggh! My leg…! Legggg…! Graagggh… Buaaggh!" Explore stories at empire
He started vomiting blood, as I noticed his eyes turning black and the rest of his helmet being filled with his blood.
"He's been infected by the Xenoid, don't get near him!"
"Thank you, but he can't be saved at this point!"
The other two quickly flew behind me as they saw the man struggling to even move.
At this point, there's only one thing I can do.
"I'll spare you the agony."
I quickly swung my spear once, imbuing it with demonic energy and electricity.
BOOOM!
A single hit engulfed his entire body into flames and electricity, he died instantly, exploding apart into mere ashes.
He didn't suffer, at least, it was very quick.
"And you, transform."
I touched his mech, took the Neutonium Core, absorbed it, and then turned his mech into a new ally, as we regrouped with the other surviving pilots.
The Xenoids numbers were going down rapidly as well, we pushed forward faster, regrouping with more allies and turning whatever mechs were left behind into my demonic machines.
Eventually, when the last dozen Xenoids perished by my spear and everyone's efforts, the raid was finally over.
And the mothership was successfully defended.
"W-We did it…!"
"I can't believe it!"
"Less than half of us died?!"
"I-I survived…!"
"WOOOOHHHH!"
I smiled faintly as I heard my fellow pilots celebrate, while I glanced into the cosmos.
"Six more days…"
