Chapter 1573: Tower
Chapter 1573: Tower
Sin went silent for a moment.
He didn't know what to say. The trio is way too confident. They didn't even have a sliver of fear in them. Just from one look and he can say that they wholeheartedly believe they can take down the Mari clan.
"I hope you won't regret your decision. Because I will be fighting back with all I have."
"We won't expect anything less. Anyway, we also need to check how this thing does against a real powerhouse.
So, please do.
But before you start anything, tell me, is Sivan inside the clan estate or not."
Sin frowned and thought for a moment before answering.
"He isn't."
"Good, then. We don't need to hold back."
As soon as he said that, the vitality cannons on the carriers shot at the clan estate.
The clan looked like it is currently trapped under a shell and is being attacked with these cannons while being trapped.
The barrier of the clan' estate activated instantly and defended against the cannons which turned out to be futile as it was destroyed within two seconds.
The cannon just shot through the barrier like it was nothing and the beams fell into various structures of the estate.
Some elders and even the two remaining grand elders stepped forward to defend against the beams, but in turn they just fell victim for it.
They could feel the extreme surge in vitality of their body. At first, they felt it is okay, but the change happened in fraction of seconds and it made them feel the most pain they have ever felt in their lives.
Even the grand elders couldn't take it and had to use all of their strength and will to stand up again.
Sin was stunned when he looked at this. He looked at the trio one more time before he disappeared in a flash. He ran towards one of the carriers to destroy them.
But just when he was about to raise his hand and land a strike, he felt some other kind of energy surging from behind.
A massive beam is coming at him from behind and he had to turn around and block it.
He was shocked when he was literally pushed back by this beam, but with a lot of effort, he managed to block and deflect the beam.
He looked at the tower in the air in shock. It shot that beam. He doesn't know how it did that without making him realize until the last moment, but definitely shot that beam and it is very dangerous.
As he was thinking of quick ways to counter it, the tower started moving. At first it appeared at the front side of the clan estate, now it floated a bit higher and also came to the centre of the clan estate.
The whole tower started glowing as a layer of energy started condensing around the tower's surface.
Sin made a move and ran towards the tower to deal with it first. He has a feeling that even if the cannons are dangerous, they are not as dangerous as the tower itself.
While he was getting there, the puppets that trio left on the clan started making their move. They started attacking everyone with any spiritual energy signature on their body.
As long as it is strong enough to come under their radar, they are attacking them.
The humanoid puppets directly went after the elders and they successfully managed to hold their ground when doing that. In fact the elders are being overwhelmed slightly.
Sin felt the pressure. He looked at the Clan's leader who also joined the fight. He is the only one strong enough to hold back the cannon attacks. But even he is having some trouble there.
This made Sin hurry toward the tower and finish it off quickly, but the tower has its own defensive measure. From the top of the tower a large beam that is similar to the one that they previous shot at Sin came out and targeted him.
Sin once again had to block with all he has to throw it off and move forward. But they didn't stop.
The beams kept on coming and they are quick enough to keep up with Sin's reaction time.
They not just travelling quickly, they are also being shot quickly. It is almost like there is no recharge time between each shot.
And in a way he is right. It is because the trio preloaded these shots ready to fire at any instant just in case. Now they are coming in handy.
While the tower is charging for a bigger attack, these attacks kept Sin at bay. He cannot near them and he didn't have time to attack them directly from afar. The worst part is, he doesn't have any other choice than block and deflect the attacks to the barrier.
Because if he dodges them, the attacks will land on the clan grounds. He could sense how powerful they are since he blocked them constantly.
There is no way, the destruction caused by these attacks would be anywhere near minimal. It would be massive.
Two minutes went by like this and the tower is completely charged for its main attack.
Currently it is floating in the air and is collinear to the mid point of the estate. That is where the attack is supposed to land.
The energy that is covering the tower is converged into a single point as all of it was transmitted to the bottom of the tower.
The energy gathered into a small stick, the size of a finger. It is densely condensed and is ready to be thrown.
Philip looked at Sin who is still actively blocking the attacks and ordered.
"Attack now."
The operators did so that very instant.
The small stick was simply dropped off of the tower and it fell towards the clan's estate.
Sin looked at it from his position and even he can feel the energy it held. He is sure that no matter what it is, it is dangerous and will destroy at least half of the clan.
He gritted his teeth and looked at the energy beam that was coming at him.
His body is covered with spiritual energy as he activated partial fusion. He quickly shot as massive energy attack at the beam coming at him.
They clashed and the beam was deflected.
Meanwhile, Sin didn't stay for the next beam and disappeared in a flash. He is so fast that he literally appeared like a streak of glowing light and as he moved the partial fusion changed into a complete fusion.
He appeared right below the falling stick whose falling speed increased by a lot because of the gravity and with the increased speed, the energy has become extremely chaotic.
Sin looked at the small stick coming at him and gulped hard before intercepting it.
*BOOM*
A massive explosion occurred in mid-air. It spread across the sky above the estate and the people below them clearly felt the pressure. The explosion is so potent to the point the barrier created by the carriers to trap the Mari clan members disappeared.
It couldn't hold on for the impact.
Sin who met the attack directly felt like his soul is being sucked out of his body as he was hit back into the ground.
*CRASH*
He left a large crater around him. His fusion has long been canceled and his felt like all of his bones are ready to break at any moment.
He couldn't help but feel shocked and horrified.
This is the first time in a long while that he felt this injured and the one that did this much damage is actually a machine.
It is very hard to digest that fact. It is way too difficult for him to think that a machine could catch up to the strength he diligently built over decades of battles and training.
And the worst part is, he can see the tower condensing energy again.
This made him feel exhausted and he almost wanted to despair. But he gritted his teeth and stood up. He activated fusion once again and jumped towards the tower.
This time though, he didn't bother himself with the energy beams this time. Since he knew what power the main attack could hold, he is not really concerned about the damage these beams can do.
At least from what he saw until now, he can guess that they won't have massive impact over a large area, but the tower's main attack is different.
He could feel the chaotic urge of the energy to spread while contacting with it.
He needs to stop before the attack is loaded.
The trio who are still standing at the entrance of the tower were surprised. They didn't expect that Sin would be this powerful. From their calculation an average peak stage cultivator of Astral Plane Consummation wouldn't be able to carry on the battle even if they managed to dodge it.
"Master is right. This guy is an absolute monster."
Jack said as he looked at Sin.
