Light Fortress-Chapter 1417 - 182: Authority Error_2

These ten seconds, in Rannos’s eyes, were silent.

This was probably Mu Wanqiu’s contemplation.

But it was not the case...

All the conversations happening here had already been transmitted through the Spiritual Link to Lu Zhe’s Heart Lake.

The reason for the ten seconds of silence.

Was because Mu Wanqiu had sent her final question to Lu Zhe, who was single-handedly fighting against the Beast Tide.

"Still hold back?"

"..."

The ten seconds of silence were Lu Zhe’s contemplation.

Finally, Lu Zhe replied with three words.

"Can’t hold back."

The moment these three words landed in Mu Wanqiu’s Heart Lake, the red-armored woman drew her dual blades—

She adjusted her tail wing, found a perfect angle, and then fiercely slashed at the Chinese-style Source Energy Boat in front of her!

Over the years, within the Investigation Corps, there had always been a secret logistics department closely collaborating with the Underground Research Institute. This logistics department was responsible for providing the most powerful weapons to the corps’ best warriors... Only those elite journalists with high enough clearance knew of "their" existence.

And from the very beginning, Mu Wanqiu belonged to that top tier of elites.

During her first two years with the corps, young Mu Wanqiu often wandered through the weapon base of the research department, and she could skillfully master every piece of advanced weaponry developed in Central City.

Because she had experienced the painful Red War.

Therefore, she was extremely interested in the advent of the "Source Energy Boat"... Within the scope of permitted clearance, she viewed and memorized the blueprints of every Source Energy Boat manufactured during the North Continent’s two decades of turmoil.

"Old model B0391, weakness is the third gun turret on the side wing, reason for obsolescence is its sluggish turning."

Mu Wanqiu’s dual blades blossomed in the air with red brilliance spanning dozens of meters, like two crescents!

Bang!

This fifty-meter-long medium-sized Source Energy Boat’s side wing exploded. When designed twenty years ago, the hull was deliberately reinforced with three layers of red silver alloy, capable of perfectly resisting attacks from a Fourth-order Transcendent... But at this moment, Mu Wanqiu precisely found the "weakness," and the alloy shattered under the dual impact of time and blade’s light!

"Booming—"

This slash immediately tilted the entire Source Energy Boat in the sky.

The followers of the Storm Church within the boat, knew nothing of what was happening outside.

Inside was a chorus of alarm.

In the midst of the commotion, Rannos held onto the table, glaring in disbelief at the red-armored woman hovering outside the window, instinctively roaring, "Are you crazy? Do you know what you are doing?!"

He had originally been waiting for an apology from Mu Wanqiu and the North Continent!

Never could he have imagined, after ten seconds... what awaited him was a horrifying slash that overturned the Source Energy Boat!

This woman should only be of the Third-order, right? How could she unleash such terrifying power, overturning a medium-sized Source Energy Boat with one slash, something even he couldn’t accomplish!

"Thanks for the compliment."

Mu Wanqiu had heard the term "lunatic" many times.

She said coldly, "I know what I’m doing... I’m slashing at you, to be precise, I’m slashing at all of you."

As her words fell.

The scarlet Source Armor Tail Wing spewed brilliant flames, she took two steps back, raised her dual blades, striking a charging stance—

"Buzz!"

A horrifying radiance began surging intentionally from the hilt of the blade, climbing steadily!

The Judge’s shadow also gathered behind Mu Wanqiu!

She raised the combat knife to store energy, while the Judge in the Realm of Nothingness raised the scythe of death—

Second Slash!

A complete arc was carved out by Mu Wanqiu.

A perfect whole only needs one point to be shattered, for the "cracks" to spread across the entire body!

What she needed to do now was simple... to completely shatter the cracks she had just slashed out, spreading it throughout the entire medium-sized Source Energy Boat, thereby forcing all Storm Church defenders to plummet, joining the Beast Tide’s defense and offense battle!

"Boom—"

This wave of blood-colored light was eventually caught by someone.

In the nick of time, Rannos shattered the red-silver glass, flew out alone, raising his hands, with azure waves surging behind him, the Fourth-order Domain [Mirage Tide] completed its formation!

Pitting the Fourth-order against the Third-order was supposed to be an overwhelming advantage—

But as Rannos punched upon the Judge’s light, he immediately sensed something amiss, feeling an upheaval within his chest, his Domain seemingly unable to withstand the Judge’s assault!

Seconds later, the ebb and flow within led to the Fourth-order Domain [Mirage Tide] gaining the upper hand.

Finally, Rannos shattered the light with great effort, using his body to shield the Source Energy Boat.

His expression was complex as he looked at the Third-order red-armored woman hovering not far away.

Is this the power of "S-class"?

Crossing a major realm, able to contend with him?

No, this is stronger than him!

Rannos silently swallowed the blood welling up in his throat, to avoid looking too disgraced, he lowered his voice, "Everything you’re doing here... the Jiadi Saint has seen it all."

The Authority of [Tides] had already enveloped the entire Sangzhou Cave.

By saying this, he was reminding the Jiadi Saint to pay attention to everything happening in the North Cave!

"He is hearing it all, right?"

Mu Wanqiu said coldly, "Since he knows everything, was it Jiadi who instructed you not to support the North Continent? Is this Jiadi’s intention, the Holy City’s intention... or perhaps, this is the intention of the Storm Church?"

With these words landing.

Rannos felt half his heart grow cold.

Because his Heart Lake remained a chilling silence.

"..."

The Jiadi Saint seemed not inclined to respond to him or provide guidance.
