Lord of the Sky City

Seeing Dusa turn tail and run, Gila couldn’t help but let out a snort of mingled laughter and disapproval.

“People from small cities are just trash, and even armored up, you’re still trash.”

“Cut the chatter and deal with the enemy.”

“Got it, got it.”

After responding over the Magic Energy Communicator, Gila heard the team leader’s voice and carelessly gave chase after acknowledging.

Although he was clad in a Mass Production Type Armor, it was after all the fifth generation, and the performance of the Armor in every aspect was still very much guaranteed. Therefore, when Gila began to accelerate at full force, he zipped through the air with a whoosh, pursuing Dusa as she fled.

Noticing her enemy in pursuit, Dusa didn’t dare to pause for a moment and immediately accelerated, dodging back and forth in the air like a bird evading a hunting eagle.

“Running quite fast…”

Chasing closely after Dusa, Gila dived downwards to reach under a warship, instantly flew beneath the hull, and immediately soared up, quickly discerning Dusa’s figure before following her towards another warship.

“Damn it! What’s she up to!”

Gila, relentlessly pursuing and circling half a warship, couldn’t help but curse; he could distinctly feel the enemy trying to shake him off. That wasn’t the problem, but what frustrated and even baffled Gila was that he was in fact being left increasingly behind!

To him, this was utterly inconceivable. As a Void Magic Warrior, Gila had an unparalleled understanding of Armor and had identified the type of Armor Dusa was wearing the moment he laid eyes on her.

The Fourth Generation Jumper Model 5 Mass-Produced Armor, assault type, with a Mana capacity of 3600 points.

How could such an Armor outpace his own?

With his thorough knowledge of Armor, Gila realized something was wrong when he couldn’t catch up to Dusa. The two of them may both be in Mass-Produced Armor, but there was a whole generation between them, a gap that should have enabled Gila to easily catch up to Dusa. Yet, this wasn’t the case. As they continued their chase, Gila found himself being left further and further behind; especially now, Dusa was nearly out of his line of sight!

This turn of events was entirely beyond Gila’s expectations and even seemed impossible to him.

However, the most incredulous moment was yet to come.

As Gila realized he was being left far behind, so did Dusa, and this naturally allowed her to breathe a sigh of relief and finally relax her tense mindset. In doing so, she recovered the state she was supposed to be in.

It wasn’t the first time Dusa had fought in her Armor. More than a month prior, she had been sparring in her Armor with Rocky and was the only person who had ever beaten him during their practice matches.

So, once her mindset stabilized, Dusa accelerated once more, instantly pushing her Armor’s speed to its limits!

With her speed maximized, Dusa became like an arrow released from a bowstring, vanishing from Gila’s sight in the blink of an eye!

“This, this… how is this possible!”

As Gila watched Dusa disappear instantaneously with no trace left on the battlefield, he was stupefied. He hastily ceased his pursuit, hovering midair and scanning around, but Dusa was nowhere to be found. Enjoy exclusive adventures from My Virtual Library Empire

The battlefield sky was not only occupied by the two of them; there were dozens of large warships exchanging fire. So, when Dusa’s figure was lost, Gila couldn’t find her despite his efforts. To his eyes, the surroundings were crowded with warships stacked one after another, with no sign of Dusa.

“Gila, did you take out the enemy? Come support me immediately, I’m in trouble!”

As he searched for Dusa, Gila heard a comrade’s voice through the communicator, seemingly summoning him for support.

What’s happening?

Were the others in the squad also in trouble?!

“I’ve been thrown off by the enemy, Jialin, where are you? I’m on my way…”

Since he couldn’t find Dusa, Gila naturally wouldn’t waste more time here. After all, this was a battlefield, and as a Void Magic Warrior, he had to fulfill his role. Therefore, Gila immediately replied, planning to go and support his teammate.

But just at that moment, as he was slightly distracted during the communication with his teammate, a Magic Energy Arrow flew at him from behind!

“Ah!”

Facing this sudden sneak attack, Gila, who was mid-conversation, had no time to react. Mid-sentence, he felt a surge of impact from behind and then screamed as he was blasted away!

With a loud explosion, Gila was sent flying as though he had been hit by a Magic Energy Cannon, traveling several meters in the air before he managed to gather his wits and stabilize his position.

As a seasoned Void Magic Warrior from Wild Horse City, Gila recovered quickly from the surprise. Upon stabilizing, he immediately spread out his Defensive Net and looked in the direction of the ambush.

As he turned around, however, he saw only one of his own warships, with nothing else in sight.

Had they fled?

That fast?

Looking at the friendly Escort Ship, Gila quickly realized the attacker had fled, but how could they have escaped so swiftly?

Just then, another arrow flew in from the side!

Another loud explosion reverberated as the suddenly appearing Magic Energy Arrow struck the Defensive Net and exploded outside it. Although Gila was not hit directly, the force of the explosion uncontrollably knocked him back several meters.
