The Almighty Ring - Chapter 1078

Chapter 1078: 1078

“Level 5?” Jiang Fei froze . The last thing that he wanted was a Level 5 enemy . Come a million Level 4 but never a single Level 5…

Isabella could not really fight and Ariel was not even a real Level 5… There were no words to describe how conflicted Jiang Felt was then . On one hand, he needed to save the people there, on the other, he needed to stop the Level 5 from coming . The question was… how?

“Darling! I’ll handle them,” said Ariel immediately when Jiang Fei’s mind was beginning to drift towards the negative . She braced herself and shot off into the sky, facing off the incoming enemy alone .

“Bella, follow me and only act if Ariel is in an absolute pinch . Everyone else, start running! I don’t care if your feet falls off! Pick up the pace!” Jiang Fei roared . The amount of Valium he had was extremely scarce, however, whether he liked it or not, Isabella might be using them tonight .

“I’ll be fine . Even if I’m not, I will be,” said Isabella comforted Jiang Fei before she too, shot off into the sky to join Ariel .

Han Tianyu scowled as he saw just how painful Jiang Fei felt when he had to send off two of his companions away . Feeling guilty, he shouted to the other martial artists, “move faster! We’re so close!”

Concurrently, Ariel had just encountered the enemy . Without even exchanging words, the enemy fired off a streak of blue particle beam towards her .  In response, Ariel fired off a bolt of lightning imbued with everything she had . When the two attacks met, it clashed into each other, releasing a surge of power that was so bright that it lit up the night sky .

“Get down!” Jiang Fei roared . He quickly pushed down the person that was carrying Han Tianyu to the ground and put up a Qi barrier on him and protected the two .

The fight between Ariel and the other Level 5 was happening far away from where Jiang Fei was . The blast of the clashing attacks was so strong that its residual energy could still travel as far as a hundred kilometers . Jiang Fei was well within that range and had to do something to protect Han Tianyu from taking the full effect of that . Those that were not protected immediately fell to the ground, vomiting blood from being bathed in the residual power of a Level 5 Metahuman .

“Those who can stand, pick up those who can’t! We need to leave! WE NEED TO LEAVE NOW!” Jiang Fei roared . By shielding Han Tianyu and the others, Jiang Fei had taken a full blast of that residual energy, sending his own energy inside his body on a runaway mode . Even so, the pain and discomfort he felt was not enough to render him immobile . The fear of being struck once more was good enough to keep him moving .

As expected, those that could still move were Level 4 fighters . There was only a small portion of fighters at the Pinnacle stage of Level 3 who could walk but they were too weak to help the others . Everyone was either limping or dragging their unconscious friends, a scene no different from war refugees .

While Jiang Fei and the others were pushing themselves beyond their limit to escape, Ariel breathed a sigh of relief . Her opponent was clearly not as strong as she thought, allowing her to repel the attack . The enemy might have the energy reading of a Level 5 but his body, much like Ariel or even weaker than her, was incredibly weak .

“Sister Bella, I think I can handle this alone! Please go to darling and help him!” said Ariel with confidence .

“Alright, I’ll leave you alone to deal with him,” said Isabella calmly as she too had sensed that the enemy was not as strong as what it seemed .

Ariel and the enemy exchanged blows three times before one of Ariel’s attacks finally hit its target . With a clever feint, she diverted her lightning bolt to bend behind the enemy and strike him from behind . The bolt of lightning hit its target but it was not enough to destroy him . However, it was more than enough to reveal a vital piece of information . The target was burnt on the entire left portion of his body, revealing a metallic skeletal system underneath a synthetic skin .

“I knew it’s a machine!” both Isabella and Ariel cried . Jiang Fei was right all along—the military had already managed to make the breakthrough in creating Level 5 Androids!

“Someone’s coming!” cried Isabella when she was about to return to Jiang Fei .

“Hmph . Looks like the battle will only escalate further,” said Ariel, preparing herself to fight by summoning the power of lightning and allowing it to flow throughout her body . Before the enemy reinforcements could reach, Ariel ended the fight with continuous, rapid attacks, making the enemy utterly useless in doing anything . Her last attack had managed to overload the enemy’s circuitry, rendering many of its internal parts unusable . Just as when she was going to destroy the enemy with a huge bolt of lightning, fashioned into a javelin, four Androids with the power readings of Level 5, appeared and erected four barriers to protect their severely injured comrade .

“Big sister, I can handle this! Please let me,” Ariel pleaded, not wanting Isabella to use any of her powers .

After exchanging a few blows with the first Androids, she had understood how they fought and how their system worked . Every time they did something, be it offensive attacks or defensive barriers, they would need some time to recharge . That feature only caused them to be incredibly inefficient in a fight, not to mention weak! Knowing that, Ariel was confident that she could fight all of them alone .

“Be careful!” Isabella cried, not wanting to leave . She was there preparing to interfere if Ariel was about to be defeated .

The bolt of lightning that she had fashion in her hand was made even bigger . It grew so big that it was at least 20 times her size . While the enemies were still preoccupied with tending to their comrade, Ariel split the bolt of lightning and animated it into snakes .

“Eat this,” Ariel sneered and released all of them towards the enemy . In the next second, the battle ended with the barrier that the enemy erected was destroyed and the attack striking them down . If Jiang Fei was present then, he would not believe his eyes . There was no doubt that Ariel was strong but those Level 5 Androids were incredibly weak!

“Something’s not right . Why are they so weak?” Isabella thought to herself .  She was not looking down at Ariel but something about those Level 5 Androids make it seemed that they were nothing but Level 4 Androids . That being said, Ariel, capable of manipulating lightning itself, was the kryptonite of Androids . Until the day they could figure out how to deal with electrical surge, they would have to bow down to her .

To put in comparison, Ariel’s elemental advantage made her much stronger than Level 5 Androids . However, if Ariel’s power level was considered a pseudo-Level 5, the Androids would have a genuine Level 5 energy reading but an extremely weak vessel . If that were the case, a real Level 5, Isabella, for example, could take on at least 25 Level 5 Androids alone without even breaking a sweat .

As soon as the battle was concluded, Jiang Fei and the rest of the wounded had boarded the ships .

The battle stopped then when all five Androids ceased attacking and decided to escape, leaving Ariel completely unharmed . To be fair, Ariel could never fully defeat all of them without Isabella’s help .

“Darling, we’re back!” Ariel greeted Jiang Fei as she and Isabella flashed themselves to his side .

“How did it go? Isabella, how do you feel?” Jiang Fei asked . Jiang Fei knew about the Level 5 Androids through information feeds from 0542 . He had genuinely thought that the only way to defeat them was by having Isabella unleashing her power of Berserk .

“Well . I feel fine . The truth was I didn’t move a finger . Ariel took care of everything by herself!”

“What? How is that possible?” said Jiang Fei, surprised . Jiang Fei did not bother sugarcoating the fact that Ariel was only a pseudo-Level 5 Metahuman but the fact that she could single-handedly won a fight against five Level 5 Androids was unbelievable .

“It’s true . I didn’t even need to be there, to be honest,” said Isabella before she started to explain how the fight ended .

“I understand that Ariel has the advantage of lightning but those Level 5 Androids couldn’t be that weak?” Jiang Fei groaned as he frowned . Although he was glad that Ariel had defeated the enemies without taking much of a scratch, the fact that they could not even land an attack on her proved that something was extremely wrong . How could they possess the power of a Level 5 but fail to fight like one?
