Chapter 704: Arcanite Defender
The Thors Roar attacked, and a thick lightning bolt slashed across the lake and shot straight towards Madeline.
The lightning came flying from behind Robb and was about to pass over his head. He looked up and exclaimed, "Oh, I didn't expect them to have another one!"
Well, that's how war is. Once a new weapon is invented, it is immediately put into mass production. Just like during the One Year War, soon after the Federal Army developed the first mobile suit, it was running around everywhere.
At this moment, Robb could actually intercept this lightning bolt. All he needed to do was to jump out of the water, block the lightning with his body, and "resist" it, or throw up some wind walls, magic reflections, or something else. However, if he did so, he could not keep up his false identity. Even a fool could see that he was the Godfather of the Westwind Town, as the Godfather had once eaten an attack of Thors Roar in a battle against the Desert Kingdom with his own body, with only his clothes being damaged, while he himself was unharmed. Many people had witnessed this!
He glanced in the direction where the lightning bolt was flying, and suddenly realized that it was heading towards Madeline. This actually put him at ease. "Okay, blast Madeline, but you've got the wrong person, Robb thought.
"Blast me! If something goes wrong, I'll admit defeat."
Robb didn't care and watched the lightning bolt pass over his head and fly towards Madeline.
At this time, Madeline and Barry on the other side of the lake also noticed that their opponent was firing. The huge lightning bolt, carrying thunderous power, came swiftly through the air. Although the lake was very wide, it was only a blink of an eye for lighting.
In an instant, the lightning bolt had arrived in front of them.
Barry was a wind magician, and his reflexes were relatively slow. He had no time to react. But Madeline was a dark sword saint, and her reflexes were much better than that of a magician. In the midst of her busy schedule, she suddenly rammed into Barry, sending him flying away. However, she herself could not avoid the lightning bolt.
The water-bucket-sized lightning bolt hit her body with a "boom".
The soldiers nearby were shocked and shouted in unison, "Commander!"
The Black Earth Knights were also frightened. Even if the Commander was wearing her usual black helmet and armor, she couldn't withstand such a violent lightning strike, let alone the "weird armor" that Robb had given her, which exposed her arms and legs and provided very little coverage, protecting only a few key areas while leaving the rest full of holes. It was unimaginable to be hit by Thors Roar while wearing such armor, and death was the only possible outcome.
Many people closed their eyes in pain!
However, those who didn't close their eyes saw a surprising result. At the moment the lightning struck Madeline, her armor, which looked like it was made of little material, suddenly emitted a blue light. Then, a protective shield suddenly opened and wrapped Madeline inside.
The special effect of the Arcanite Defender: When the player is hit by magic, it opens an Arcane barrier that absorbs 20,000 points of magic damage.
Arcanite is a magical enchantment, with the "Arcanite" effect, since it has the word "Arcanite" in its name.
In the game, 20,000 points of magic damage is not a particularly significant value. Robb wore trash equipment and used the defense skill, and easily caused 50-60,000 damage to Black Dragon with a single strike. Top mages could deal several hundred thousand damage with a single spell, so absorbing 20,000 points of magic damage was really just the level of a level 60 equipment, considered trash in the game.
However, it was enough to absorb the damage of Thor's Roar.
The huge lightning struck the suddenly opened magical shield and was completely dissipated. Madeline was a bit confused, not knowing what had happened, but only one thing was clear, she had survived and was unharmed.
"This armor!"
The Thunder Knights on the other side of the lake couldn't help but exclaim, "What kind of armor is this?"
The captain of the group wiped his sweat and said, "This... this armor absorbed Thor's Roar?"
"This... this armor doesnt cover much area at all, how could it stop Thor's Roar?"
"This is simply unreasonable."
Actually, not only were the enemies confused, even the members of the Black Earth Knights and the Wind Knights were stunned. Especially those Black Earth Knights who saw Robb give the armor to Madeline earlier, they thought the armor was just a pretty outfit that barely covered vital areas.
Who knew that this thing could block a strategic-level magic attack? This was just too amazing.
Of course, the happiest person was Madeline. "The armor Mr. Robb gave me is really great."
A Black Earth Knight couldn't help but remind her when he saw how happy she was, "Actually, it was made by Godfather from Westwind City, and Mr. Robb was just a porter who happened to deliver it."
Madeline was angry, "How can you say that? If you buy a piece of jewelry from a jewelry store and give it to your wife at home, it was made by a jeweler, but it's still considered a gift from you, right?"
"This..." The Black Earth Knight was speechless.
Madeline continued, "Besides, this kind of ore called arcanite was picked up by Mr. Robb from the lake. Without him, could Godfather have made it? In the end, this thing is something Mr. Robb gave to me."
Black Earth Knights, "You're right! You're absolutely right! Sorry to bother you, goodbye."
At this point, without Madeline and Barry's orders, the soldiers of the Black Earth Knights and the Wind Knights had already urgently assembled and prepared for an attack. The two leaders led their respective armies and circled around the lake, charging towards the camp of the Thunder Knights on the opposite side.
The Thunder Knights were not fools, of course. They knew their ambush had completely failed and dared not linger on the other side of the lake, quickly retreating.
The two sides chased each other through the forest.
Since the Thunder Knights had been lurking here for a long time and were more familiar with the terrain, the Black Earth Knights and the Wind Knights were not able to successfully trap them after chasing them for a while, and the Thunder Knights successfully escaped.
So this small-scale battle by the lake ended.
Everyone returned to their camp on this side of the lake and sat around the campfire.
Madeline asked about what happened on the other side of the lake, and the Black Earth Knights and Wind knights quickly told the story. Everyone then learned that it was thanks to Robb's quick thinking and the Thunder Knights' fear of his Thors Roar that they were able to retreat unscathed. Otherwise, they would have likely lost everything on the other side of the lake.
