Chapter 683 Let's turn the tide!
The mental world burns and boils in the crimson flames.
Countless fixed turrets fired at the monster, but almost all of them were swallowed up by the crimson mist spreading around it, leaving no trace of being hit.
Qiu Gui stared at the scene before her, where the artillery fire was as ineffective as ever. Her brows furrowed slightly, but she no longer showed much surprise. Instead, she felt that this was the normal phenomenon.
The monsters are getting stronger and stronger. These defensive artillery shells are like tickles to them. But no matter what, the previous monsters were all slowed down or even damaged to some extent by the artillery fire. Unlike this monster number 21...
"The magic cannon has no effect on it at all," Dongqing said in a deep voice.
Qiu Gui nodded gently and replied:
"This can't go on; we need to find another way to weaken its defenses."
As soon as she finished speaking, Qiu Gui's wand appeared in her hand, and she activated her flight magic. She was the first to rush forward to meet the monster, unleashing her various spells in the air and pouring firepower at the monster's body shrouded in the blood-red mist.
With the added advantage of the rules of the mental world, and the magical enhancement provided by the magical girls, these magical missiles and beams finally pierced through the blood-red mist, exploding into several brilliant magical sparks on the monster's body.
...But the giant octopus with its claws bared completely ignored this level of firepower and swung its tentacles to lash at the roof of the building where Qiu Gui was standing. The latter nimbly took off to dodge, but the magical firepower did not stop.
As the squad leader, Qiu Gui is responsible for providing the squad's core comprehensive firepower. She is quite skilled in casting magic, and can even suppress Cheshire Rabbit's stealth attack with her extremely fast reaction and casting speed.
(Mercury's Secret: See previous text for details)
Her firepower primarily consists of continuous firing of small-caliber, high-penetration magic missiles, supplemented by a large number of instantaneous magic rays, enabling her to suppress the enemy with barrage firepower.
While she may not be able to match Xia Jin, a pure firepower type player similar to Iris and Wheat Ear, in terms of potential ceiling, she excels in maintaining a solid floor.
"Whoosh!!!"
"?!"
A loud whooshing sound came from beside my ears.
A tiny tentacle darted out of the shadows and lashed out at Qiu Gui, who was focused on maintaining her firepower.
Just as it was about to strike, a beam of magic erupted from a distance behind, severing the tentacle in half. The direction and force of the strike also shifted, creating a ripple on the magic shield but failing to hit Qiu Gui.
"Watch your side. Now that Holly isn't drawing attention in front, you'll have to keep an eye on things." Xia Jin warned, raising a cloud of magical dust from the muzzle of her magic cannon.
Her magic cannon is somewhat similar to Iris Flower's normal form, both being single-barreled heavy firepower, but the cannon is longer and has a larger caliber, making its single-shot power quite considerable. However, the trade-off is that the reload time is quite long, so it cannot maintain the same high firepower and excellent mobility as Iris Flower.
Qiu Gui nodded in response and continued to maintain firepower against the monster.
Several more tentacles tried to attack her from the shadows, but they were all severed by Holly and Hyacinth who rushed forward.
Holly wielded two gunblades, while Hyacinth switched back to her most frequently used greatsword. The two of them weaved through the dense mass of tentacles of the octopus monster, keeping the monster's tentacles that tried to approach the barrage of fire at the outer perimeter.
Even though they tried so hard to stop it, the regeneration speed of those tentacles was almost as fast as the speed at which they cut them off—each time they cut off one, a complete tentacle would regenerate in just a dozen seconds, seemingly endless.
Autumn Osmanthus's firepower was forced to retreat, and Hyacinth and Holly's attacks also slowed down. The octopus monster continued to advance towards the city buildings, and in the blink of an eye, several rows of buildings had been crushed and collapsed by it.
"Waaah... It seems like Qiugui's firepower has absolutely no effect on this monster..." the white sable elf said nervously, rubbing against the iris flower's head.
The fox spirits were floating behind Iris and Summer Violet, sprinkling magical particles and providing them with ample magical support along with White Spirit.
Even the combined firepower of these two individuals couldn't inflict any real damage on the monster, nor could it even stop its advance.
Just as the battle lines were retreating further and further, to the point where they could retreat no more—
"Buzzing!!!"
Countless brilliant red lightning bolts lit up in the dispersing blood-red mist. The octopus monster's tentacles suddenly increased the range and speed of their attacks, as if they had been enhanced in some way. With a sneak attack, it struck Holly, who was at the front line, shattering her magic shield and sending her flying backward.
"Holly!" Qiugui shouted loudly.
Chunlan, who had been casting magical shields and various support spells, immediately released her Mage's Hand to catch her companion and flew to the injured Dongqing's side, quickly healing her injured arm and shoulder.
With one person lost on the front line, Hyacinth immediately switched to its sword and shield form to withstand the pressure. Its efficiency in clearing the tentacles dropped sharply. Autumn Osmanthus was forced to abandon the position and cover Hyacinth as it returned to the vicinity of the Iris Flower group's firing point. With a furrowed brow, it carefully observed the octopus monster's condition.
The extent of the injury was quite different from what she had expected. Qiu Gui thought to herself.
He had thought that he could at least weaken the opponent's combat power by 20% with the first wave of fire and the subsequent delaying fire. But judging from the current situation, the opponent did not even lose one-tenth of its combat power. The severed limbs have all regenerated and are baring their fangs and claws, causing rampages and destruction to the surrounding buildings.
Feeling that her control over the mental world was once again slipping away to the monster, Qiu Gui clenched her fists and made up her mind.
Holly is injured, and Spring Orchid is treating her. Iris and Summer Violet's magic cannons are also severely overloaded, and Hyacinth is making a last-ditch effort. But all the tentacles have already converged on her, and it's only a matter of time before the azure magical girl is swallowed up by the monster.
"We can't let it go any further!"
Qiu Gui shouted loudly, stepped forward, and raised her magic wand high.
"Stop it here—come on! Show us our true power!"
"Machine God Combination!!"
With a loud shout, the mecha vehicles soared into the sky, transforming and combining amidst uplifting music that seemed to come from nowhere. The pristine white vehicle of the iris flower also joined the combined mecha as an additional warrior.
The Super Galaxy Four Seasons God Mk5000 makes its dazzling debut!
"Drink it all!!"
Qiu Gui pushed the control stick, and the combined mecha swung its fist and struck with all its might. The magic cannons on its shoulders and chest fired at the same time. With this combined attack, the once invincible octopus monster was pushed far away, and countless tentacles broke and shattered.
Despite taking such a solid blow, the monster's offensive momentum showed no signs of slowing down; instead, it charged forward even more fiercely—
"Tsk! Stop it!"
"Weren't we supposed to use suppressive fire?"
"It's too late! We need to find a way to stop it!"
Monsters and mechs clashed, unleashing a barrage of firepower, and the mental world instantly transformed into a fierce battlefield.
"Hyacinth! Come back quickly!"
Bai Ling shouted loudly, calling Hyacinth back to her side as she was being evacuated under the cover of the mecha. Almost immediately, she pulled Fox Fairy behind her and breathed a sigh of relief as if she had found a solid cover.
"Are you hurt? That monster almost hit you!" Bai Ling said anxiously, afraid that the hyacinth would be flattened by a slap.
"I'm fine, but Senior Dongqing is injured, and..."
Hyacinth replied, turning to look at the Four Seasons Machine God who was engaged in close combat with the octopus monster, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
The ranged Iris Flower was used as an additional combination to provide fire support, but it was forced into close combat. The battle was very delicate from the beginning, and it was difficult to predict how things would develop.
We must be prepared to go and provide support at any time. Hyacinth thought to herself.
The girl glanced back at the vehicle hangar behind her, and her brows relaxed slightly.
Hopefully, it will come in handy... I got this vehicle from Xin Yuehu, and it will definitely be a trump card to turn the tide of the battle!
