Chapter 1216 - Pleading (1/2)

But many things had been learnt about the Puppet Plane, far more than what had been learnt in all of the previous eras combined.

There was even a detailed record of the Cybertan race’s abilities.

Heaven Puppets would inevitably awaken wisdom, but not all of the puppets would awaken a special ability.

Only a few would awaken special abilities, and most of those who awakened a special ability awakened some relatively lower level ability rune.

Some would strengthen the power of a certain element from 5% to 20%, there were also those that increased the power of certain spells.

There was also relatively low level ability runes for melee puppets which increased a part of their power, or increased the defense of some part of their bodies. Some even reinforced the speed of certain parts.

These were all regarded as low level ability runes, but the Sunder Armor Rune this four-arms puppet possessed was a relatively powerful melee ability, which was rare for the puppets of the Puppet Plane.

As for the casting puppet, its ability rune increasing the power of fire magic was considered a mid level ability rune.

Of the two Heaven Puppets he had encountered before, one had the Lightning Speed Rune, while one had the spell power increase rune.

The Lightning Speed Rune was an upper level rune that was rarely seen in the Puppet Plane. A puppet with that rune would have a very high status in the Cybertan race, it was comparable to a Demon Overlord with a Golden Bloodline in the Abyss.

All of the Heaven Puppets he had seen in the ruins had ability runes.

This was clearly abnormal. One or two could be a coincidence, but three or four was a pattern!

These puppets were man-made and this kind of ability couldn’t be compared with the Puppet Plane’s puppets.

Even though artificially made puppets had great advantages in many aspects, such as the link between systems and components being even more perfect, they had an even greater weakness. This kind of optimization and heavy modifications would make it very difficult to advance to the Heaven Rank.

Moreover, even if they advanced to the Heaven Rank, the probability of obtaining a special ability after gaining wisdom was much lower compared to the Heaven Puppets of the Puppet Plane.

The Puppet Plane’s Heaven Puppets had a very low probability of gaining an ability rune, yet, these man-made puppets all had an ability rune… This was too abnormal.

It could even be said to be impossible!

While Lin Yun was observing, a crisis appeared on the battlefield.

Laibo was dragged away by the four-arms puppet. The combination of the four-arms puppet’s Sunder Armor Rune and the four sharp blades was a huge threat to that Heaven Sword Saint.

The Secret Monastery Sword Saint style was always about using their strength to burst and attack. Their defense was all parry while their Battle Aura Armor was made of layers of weaker Battle Aura Armors.

But against that Sunder Armor Rune, that kind of Battle Aura Armor, which relied on layers to weaken attacks, wouldn’t be very effective. Every layer was like a piece of paper that would easily be torn apart by the Sunder Armor Rune. Even if there were more layers, the outcome would still be the same. In front of that ability, his defense wasn’t any better than an ordinary Sword Saint’s Battle Aura Armor.

Laibo was forcibly dragged away and the remaining six Sword Saints fell into a precarious situation. Their strength was decent, any one of them would be considered a first-rate Sword Saint when on the outside world. Their fighting techniques were somewhat stronger, and when combined with the deathless aura, the average Peak 9th Rank Sword Saint wouldn’t be their match.

Some first-rate Sword Saints might give them a good fight, but they would eventually be defeated under the deathless aura.

Their cooperation seemed to have been trained, unfortunately, no matter how coordinated they were, they were only Sword Saints, not a swordsman army. Without that kind of tacit understanding tempered on bloody battlefields, some small flaws would appear in this kind of intense battle.

And these small flaws would be magnified by the puppets coordinated by their battle system.

Over forty puppets coordinated. It could be said that there were no dead spots, attacks would fall onto the six Sword Saints at any time, from any angle. The six Sword Saints could be said to be first-rate powerhouses, but they could only passively defend at this moment. The six of them formed a circle and barely resisted the attack.

Having lost Laibo’s protection, their situation worsened. At this time, the Heaven Rank casting puppet started aiming at these youths.

Laibo urgently stomped on the ground, but he was firmly entangled in the fight with that four-arms puppet. Even if he was only several dozen meters away, he couldn’t charge over there.

The four-arms puppet swung its arms and four sharp swords kept intertwining. It was like four Heaven Sword Saints were besieging him, and due to the Sunder Armor Rune’s power, Laibo simply didn’t have any energy to spare.

“Sir Mafa please help… We can discuss everything after we get rid of these guys.” Laibo urgently shouted.

It was obvious, Lin Yun had been very dissatisfied by Constantine acting on his own initiative. If not for Constantine, they might have already left this place and wouldn’t have to encounter such danger.

Lin Yun remained silent, but Mariana loudly shouted, “Senior apprentice brother! We are strong and don’t need anyone’s help. I can kill these damned iron cans!”

As for Constantine, he remained calm. He hadn’t expected the situation to change like this. Hearing Laibo, he only disdainfully curled his lips.

‘With just that Mafa Merlin? Even if he is truly not a puppet, he is only a 9th Rank Archmage, how could he still help us in these circumstances?

‘Just look, he is terrified and is hiding his head in the sand like an ostrich. He doesn’t dare to get closer. If he dared to leak a wisp of power, those crazy puppets would tear him apart within a few seconds.

‘What a joke, what’s wrong with senior apprentice brother… He is actually asking Mafa Merlin. He is only a bit gifted in alchemy, but that’s not what we need now, we need true firepower.

‘Even if he can dismantle puppets with one hand, it depends on the situation. Those puppets are like a spiky monster, if he dared to extend his hand, he would be instantly torn apart.’

Laibo was worried and pained. As he fought, he couldn’t help showing a pleading expression as he looked at Lin Yun.

“Sir Mafa, they are only sheltered kids, they don’t understand much. Please don’t mind it too much, let’s first get rid of these puppets and I’ll give you a proper explanation!”

Laibo’s tone became even more resolute as he said that, as if he had truly hardened his heart.

Due to being distracted, one of the swords managed to slash at his arm and the Sunder Armor Rune suddenly shone, instantly tearing through Laibo’s Battle Aura Armor before slicing through his flesh and drawing blood.

At the same time, that Heaven Rank casting puppet released its Firebolts, along with the ray of light. The spells instantly hit Laibo’s Song of Sacrifice.

Huge vitality and deathless aura burst out as runes even appeared on the surface of the Song of Sacrifice. White radiance and deathless aura formed a two-meter-tall layer of defense protecting Laibo within.

Explosions echoed as Laibo was hit by three bursts of power. His body was sent flying by the explosions and the four-arms puppets followed closely behind him.

But at this time, the eight cannons on the left arm of the Heaven Rank casting puppets rapidly started revolving and thick Firebolts shot towards the six Sword Saints.

In the distance, Laibo let out a despairing roar as his vitality started steeply falling. Even more runes started appearing on the Song of Sacrifice, but he wouldn’t be able to free himself from the four-arms puppets and cross several hundred meters before the Firebolts hit Mariana and the others.

As for the six Sword Saints, they all became deathly pale. A moment ago, the Heaven Rank casting puppet’s attacks fell onto Laibo, yet they could see how powerful those Firebolts had been.
