Chapter 275: War Castle
It didn’t seem like he created the castle on a whim, based on its inner workings she felt as soon as she connected with it.
She knew Adrian must’ve designed it for quite a long time, the castle was infused with many of his abilities and it had weapons.
It was actually a mobile castle that uses psionic lunar esper as fuel and the only people with that type of esper.
Was him, her and members of her lineage but even amongst them, perhaps only her family could do it.
The castle clearly had a purity level requirement in terms of esper and nobody below Beta can use it.
The pack only had four members at the Beta rank. The three agents felt the castle shaking and it finally dawned on them.
" Damnit, this castle is a weapon!" Siri shouted and teleported all three of them out but they suddenly found themselves nearly 10 kilometres above an ocean.
The ocean was calm and clear, the ambient esper was too low for any powerful Gadra to live around here.
The three of them floating in the sky facing the floating island. " How did we get here?" Render asked.
" She teleported us when the castle shook, it was actually shifting through space but..." Siri explained with a grim tone.
" And you didn’t sense it? I thought the Voidlink clan was a master of space techniques, useless." Render mocked her.
Siri didn’t argue, her expression remained grim, she remembered the ability used by that castle.
It existed within the records of her family, the ability of their first ancestor, the void tunneling skill.
’ How do these animals have that ability, this is impossible.’ the void tunneling was an incredible powerful space technique.
Other teleportation type space abilities had specific requirements and limitations, once activated, they can’t be stopped.
You had to set two sets of coordinates which requires too many calculations and you can’t stop it.
Some require specific images in your mind of wherever you wish to teleport to but they all had one thing in common.
They’re instantaneous to even the user and you can’t know what you’ll find on the other side.
Void tunneling on the other hand is stated to allow the user to enter a special spatial dimension.
In that dimension, time doesn’t flow and can see the world outside, they’re aware of where they’re teleporting to.
Most of all, they can choose when to cancel the ability, they can change direction during their teleportation.
That’s because according to the explanation from the records, void tunneling is closer to walking anywhere instantly rather than teleporting.
Of course it’s only instantaneous to those watching from the outside, to the user, it feels like walking, just without any of the fatigue that comes along.
Consequently the ability placed a massive burden on the body and mind making its use quite limited.
Still Siri felt excitement rising inside her, ’ If I could get my hands on that ability, my status within the family will certainly rise.
The next clan leader is yet to be decided, if I can present this to the elder, they’ll surely cultivate me as the next demigod.’
She looked at her two companions, ’ I’ll probably need the held of these two, that castle gives me a terrible feeling.’
She hadn’t finished her thoughts when a hole opened on the castle roof and a gigantic machine gun appeared.
" An automatic gun?" Render asked with confusion then he started laughing, " These animals are truly ignorant."
He raised his massive sword to the sky, it grew in size reaching a hundred metres in length.
The Belvord clan were known for their tremendous physical strength but in actuality.
Their real ability was controlling metal, the other clans knew of this but the lower ranked agents did not, at least most of them.
After all, the Belvord were the most hated by the Fayera and even some Espara because of their arrogance.
Before attacking, Render reached out to grab the entire castle with his ability trying to take it away from Anele’s control.
However he felt as if he was grabbing air as if the castle was not made of metal at all. He frowned then shook his head.
’ No matter, then I’ll just split it into a thousand pieces.’ he thought to himself and lunged.
The sky shook, he moved so fast he appeared above the castle as if he had teleported.
His sword descended like a guillotine and just as he was about to split the castle in half.
"Dadadadada." He heard the gatling of a gun and a streak of silver bullets shot towards him faster than he could react.
Inside the castle.
Annie watched everything with amusement, she had clearly seen him attacking like a fool and waiting.
" It seems he modelled those bullets after your ability Suzie." Annie commented with a smile.
" I’m honoured my lady but my measly ability does not come close to the creation of my lord."
Annie shook her head, " You’re only limited by your level, once you reach level 7 with you rank of a Delta, your own ability should reach that power."
Suzie didn’t say anything, those bullets were slightly larger than her own spheres, about the size of a grown man’s fist.
However they were fast, so fast they all she saw were silver streaks shooting through the sky like thunder.
The target barely had time to react before they sent him flying dozens of kilometres away.
They watched the armoured giant disappeared beyond the dark clouds. ’ Each bullet doesn’t have much power.
But this gun can shoot 1 thousand of them in a blink of an eye and they can move slightly faster than lightning.
Let see, the are five of these guns and can be brought out from any part of the castle, plus a forcefield powerful enough to block standard level 8 attacks.
However the energy is quite limited, I need to conserve it, this should be a battle of attrition until he wakes up.’
Annie can control the castle with her psionic lunar esper and can even power the entire castle briefly.
But its actual energy source was pure lunar esper absorbed from the moonlight or Adrian whose esper can rival that purity.
Since the castle hasn’t existed for long, it couldn’t have absorbed much moonlight by itself.
Fortunately there was a giant wheel above it whose core had absorbed moonlight for thousands of years.
Even if that moonlight was in low quantity and quality due to the broken moon of Niflheim.
’ The energy should last us about 4 days, I hope he wakes up before then.’
