Chapter 1220 - 174: Guardian

The Heaven-covering Robe was torn, and then regenerated under Wen Yu’s supply of Soul Energy. His flesh was pierced, but quickly healed under the effect of the Photosynthetic Spirit Motifs.

The Faceless was no different from Wen Yu — with the Blood and Flesh Badge in hand, these spindle-shaped objects, even if they could penetrate Wen Yu’s defenses, couldn’t possibly kill him.

But Bai...

Thinking of Bai, Wen Yu immediately turned his head to look at Bai. He saw Bai’s pale face, his entire body filled with transparent holes, even a cigarette-butt-sized penetrating wound on his forehead, from which white viscous liquid flowed. But in just an instant, Bai’s body suddenly flickered in Wen Yu’s eyes, and the next second, Bai’s entire being was restored to its pre-attack state.

Time Series Abilities... perhaps...but Wen Yu knew Bai’s methods were varied, and pure physical damage like this shouldn’t trouble Bai.

However, those flying shuttles seemed to sense that the three were unharmed. After penetrating their bodies, they immediately turned around and aimed their sharp ends at the three once more — and in the next moment, the attack arrived in an instant!

The speed was like light. Wen Yu only felt a blur before his eyes, followed by a piercing pain in his body. Everything happened extremely fast, from the flying shuttles’ first attack to their second end. In total, it didn’t take long. Accompanied by his body being torn again, the Photosynthetic Spirit Motifs took effect once more, then came the third, the fourth...

Even if they achieved nothing, they persevered with undying enthusiasm, as if they were just some kind of programmed machines.

And as the frequency of the flying shuttles’ attacks increased, Wen Yu gradually figured out some of their characteristics— other than conceptually immune damage, no other defense forces had any effect in front of the flying shuttles. And these things should just be non-living objects; the Soul Battlefield’s defenses had no action on them. As for whether they were creations, after briefly observing and sensing, Wen Yu ruled out this suspicion.

There was no trace of Creation Energy on them.

Within a few seconds, the flying shuttles attacked at least ten thousand times. Wen Yu was still fine; he had many Photosynthetic Spirit Motifs, but Bai was obviously unable to endure such an onslaught. His face turned pale, and he shouted to Wen Yu, "Save me..."

Alright, at least from now on, this bodyguard mission isn’t over yet.

And in these few seconds, Wen Yu had already found a way to deal with the flying shuttles.

The Dream becomes Reality Skill System activated. As Wen Yu’s flesh collapsed and his soul ached, everything seemed to slow down before his eyes.

It was like manipulating the speed of time; the flying shuttles that originally moved like light turned into snail pace in an instant. They moved straight and slowly in mid-air, leaving a dark trail in the space behind them.

At this moment, a flying shuttle rushed toward Wen Yu. Only now could Wen Yu clearly see the entire form of the flying shuttle.

Approximately ten centimeters long, thin on both sides and thick in the middle, pitch black all over, yet upon closer inspection, it had some complex patterns on it. It resembled a crawler, flying straight at Wen Yu at a speed of a few centimeters per second, aiming straight for his forehead.

Wen Yu raised his hand, yet his speed was the same as usual. However, the cost was that the injuries healed by the Photosynthetic Spirit Motifs once again collapsed — the second Dream becomes Reality...

"Snap!"

His fingers pinched the flying shuttle, and it immediately stopped moving. Its force dispersed entirely, as if its power source was lost. At the moment Wen Yu clamped the flying shuttle, a prompt suddenly sounded in his mind.

"Sentinel Type III (Mutated) (Species-specific Esoteric Level): Originally an Esoteric Level item Sentinel Type I, evolved into Sentinel Type II by experts’ modification, then mutated into Sentinel Type III after special environmental contamination."

"Attribute One: Ultimate Sharpness (Sentinel Type I original attribute): Conceptually breaks defenses, able to pierce any nature of defense!"

"Attribute Two: Ultimate Speed (Sentinel Type I original attribute): The flying speed is extremely fast, though direction change is slightly sluggish!"

"Attribute Three: Sentinel (Sentinel Type I original attribute): Can pre-program a protocol, allowing the Sentinel to guard a specific area. Any life form without a mark entering the Sentinel’s guard range will suffer indiscriminate attacks!"

"Attribute Four: Range Expansion (Sentinel Type II modified attribute): Expands the guarding range."

"Attribute Five: Agility (Sentinel Type II modified attribute): Captures faint sounds and scents, allowing the Sentinel to briefly leave its original guarding area to autonomously hunt."

"Attribute Six: Enemy of the Origin (Sentinel Type III mutated attribute): Long exposure to space filled with Origin Energy grants the Sentinel Type III significant resistance to Origin Energy. Whenever the Sentinel hits an enemy, it forcibly nullifies a certain amount of Origin Energy, and meanwhile, Origin Energy cannot nullify the Ultimate Sharpness attribute!"

The long prompt flashed through his mind, and Wen Yu’s eyes suddenly lit up!

This thing, it seems quite interesting...

Wen Yu himself wasn’t a Level 11 powerful expert and naturally couldn’t wield Origin Energy, so he didn’t find anything amiss about the flying shuttles— at most, they were fast, ignoring defense capabilities was quite annoying, that was all.

However, the last attribute of the Sentinel made Wen Yu’s eyes shine— this was a super item specifically aimed at Level 11 powerful experts!

As long as a Level 11 powerful expert entered the Sentinel’s attack range, the six attributes of the Sentinel were enough to make any Level 11 powerful expert wish they were dead— without conceptual defense capabilities, without recovery ability, without ignoring critical weaknesses capability, anyone encountering the Sentinel would certainly end up dead!

At this moment, Wen Yu admitted he was tempted...

Such things being used as mere guards were truly a waste— if these things were in Wen Yu’s hands, and he used the Soul Abiogenetic Creation Skill to slightly alter their attributes, it could literally be gods blocking the way are slain, devils blocking the way are destroyed, each soul pet paired with one, and Level 11 powerful experts wouldn’t be feared at all!

The Dream becomes Reality Skill System was still in operation. Wen Yu looked down at the Sentinel Type III in his hand; it lay motionless in his palm. However, no matter how Wen Yu called, he couldn’t activate the Sentinel’s control program.

These things, there should be a source, and this source is likely deep within this passage. Solving their source is undoubtedly one way to solve these small things, but unfortunately, Bai couldn’t hold on...

There weren’t many Sentinels appearing before the group, only about a dozen. Thinking of this, Wen Yu quickly took action during the Dream becomes Reality’s duration, and in just an instant, these dozen Sentinels appeared in Wen Yu’s palm.

At this point, the flow of time finally returned to normal.
