Chapter 48: Chapter 48: Forebearer's Charge
"Phew!"
A gust of wind blows through as Garcia's forces surround EthanEmerging Ability. Suddenly, a mid-level Emerging Ability expert from Garcia's side is cut in half!
[Energy consumption has reached 56%!]
[Severe damage to the left arm, shoulder armor laser cannon ability depleted!]
[Warning, do not use Blade Storm again, it will cause severe damage to the mech!]
Gonzalez has proven to be more troublesome than Ethan had anticipated! They have all sorts of tricks up their sleeves. Just now, Gonzalez even brought out ten psychic equipment pieces, placing them in a large formation, causing significant damage to Ethan's War AI Bionic Robot.
Fortunately, now that the War AI Bionic Robot is heavily damaged, the remaining two peak Emerging Ability experts from Gonzalez are also heavily scarred.
On the map.
In Ethan's view, the Blackwood members are also caught in a fierce battle.
Luna leads the mystical beasts in the first charge, just to break through the traps of Forest Town. They face Garcia's ancestral Spear Forest Formation, a formation that links all of Garcia's members' abilities, raining down spears like a covering sky.
In just an instant, a dozen slow-moving mystical beasts are caught off-guard and perish.
Then, it's hand-to-hand combat.
Facing the various traps and formations set up by Garcia and Gonzalez in Forest Town, such as spells, symbols, and psychic equipment... Under the centuries-old family heritage of these two families, Blackwood's years of nurtured mystical beasts seem so fragile.
But soon after breaking through the Spear Forest Formation of Forest Town, the villagers of Gratitude Village, led by Nathan, launch their attack!
The Blackwood guard squad initiates the first wave of attack.
Although most of them are still ordinary people, years of training and a lot of equipment make them capable of effectively attacking the Iron Will Psychic.
They stand their ground, bending their bows and setting arrows.
Forged from black iron, their arrows rain down like a storm, each archer equipped with 15 iron arrows!
As they fire in unison.
The nearly thousand villagers of Gratitude Village also show their mettle.
When there are no more attacks coming out of Forest Town, they quickly rush nearby. Instead of foolishly engaging in close combat with the Psychic, under Julian's leadership, they take out all their weapons.
In a flash, there's a scene of villagers hurling kitchen knives, machetes, and other sharp weapons in the direction of the recent Psychic attack.
Following that.
All of Blackwood's Emerging Ability period Psychics, along with Blackwood's three mystical beasts, seize the opportunity to charge into Forest Town!
Ethan can no longer take care of everyone!
He can only deal with the two peak Emerging Ability opponents.
While waiting for notifications from the game interface!
[A villager from Gratitude Village is in critical condition...]
[One of your family's mystical beasts is severely injured!]
[Villager deceased...]
"Damn it!"
Ethan, operating the War AI Bionic Robot in his room and monitoring the game interface with his body, clenches his teeth.
Having played this game for so long.
He has come to realize that these might very well be real people!
Lives are being lost right before his eyes, but he knows he must keep his cool at such times.
[Spiritual Tribute value: 1342]
The harsh reality is, even though he has a considerable amount of Spiritual Tribute value, he can't help everyone. He can only keep an eye on Blackwood's members to prevent any mishaps!
[Use skill 'Charge, My Children', consuming Spiritual Tribute 115!]
This isn't the first time Ethan has used this skill, which can increase all attributes of family members by 10%!
However, the cost of the skill increases as the members' strength increases.
Using this skill on an Emerging Ability period expert consumes 50 points, while Iron Will only needs 5 points!
"It's Forebearer!"
"My power has increased!"
"With Forebearer's help, I want to see how you die!"
The Blackwood members who have already broken into Forest Town feel a powerful psychic ability transmitted to them from the Forebearer cards they carry!
Yes.
Now, all Blackwood members carry a cards of Ethan, fighting alongside their Forebearer!
Although... Ethan could use his skills without the cards, fighting with the Forebearer cards has become a fine tradition of Blackwood.
...
"Boom!"
Inside Garcia, amidst a fierce battle, the elder Martinez, along with the entire Martinez family, broke through Garcia's protective formation using a secret family technique!
At that moment.
The Garcia talisman formation exploded, and Dexter, who had previously sent men to severely injure Nathan, was now looking over the ruins with several Foundational Energy experts.
"Ha ha ha! Overestimating yourself, the Blackwood kid still wants to avenge his father, not even checking if he's up to the mark!"
Within the ruins.
Lucas could be seen struggling to stand atop the debris, sword in hand. The moment he entered Garcia, he didn't hesitate to draw his sword and seek out Dexter.
He had not spent a day without thinking of avenging his father!
But what he hadn't expected was that after killing a Foundational Energy level nine Psychic protecting Dexter, and breaking through the encirclement, he couldn't escape the deep-rooted powers of Garcia, who possessed various kinds of formations!
"Someone, kill this ignorant fool, a mere country bumpkin thinks he can kill me?"
Dexter looked coldly at Lucas.
Facing the charging Psychic, Lucas, despite his severe injuries, remained undaunted.
He stretched out his left hand, bones gruesomely visible, clutching the Forebearer cards tightly in his embrace, suddenly grinning, making him look like a demon crawling out of hell.
"Do you think only you have a foundation? Blackwood has one too!!!"
"What?"
Dexter's color changed.
As Lucas roared, the Forebearer cards he held emitted a white light, and his wounds began to heal at a visible rate!
[Consume 100 points of Spiritual Tribute, use 'Embrace of the Forebearer', heal Lucas's injuries!]
His injuries healed significantly!
Lucas, holding his sword and with a grim expression, walked towards Dexter, "Today, I take your head to avenge my father's near-death!"
