1328 The Third Layer Of Defence
According to the demonesse, the Holy Ones got tons of tech from the endless races they devastated over the years in many universes.
So it was hard to try and grasp their full knowledge or learn more about them as they’d always got a way to deal with any kind of powerful foes.
This tech released strong waves of energy that were able to take away any strong armies threatening these ten worlds. In addition to that, these waves were able to deal with any energy based attacks.
They reminded me of my pillar’s offensive wave skill, and my chariot’s pulse wave cannon. But the latter was much smaller compared with that kind of scary attack.
Per her description, the waves emitted from this tech were fierce enough to change the entire layout of the ten worlds.
Thanks to their energy nature, the Holy Ones would never tend to use such a deadly weapon until they were quite sure of the level of threat endangering their worlds.
After all such an attack wouldn’t endanger the enemies, but also the other two races, the Silence and the locust-like races.
Using the third layer of defence meant losing and wiping out the first two layers at these worlds. But there was a silverlining in the middle of such bad news.
This tech capacity is limited. Only one thousand consecutive waves would be used. And once the Holy Ones activated the tech, they’d lose control over it and the one thousand attacks would come at the worlds without pause or interruption.
After the release of these one thousand waves, the third layer would be gone as well.
I thought deeply about what she told me about this tech. The weird thing was that despite the Holy Ones knowing how to use it, they didn’t get to understand the concepts behind it.
That tech came from a race that refused to lower their heads to these invaders. And when the Holy Ones tried to entrap them as usual, that race used such tech in a scary way, ending up killing lots of the Holy Ones forces and also the race with it.
So the Holy Ones only found relics of this tech, without any guidance or details about it. Even after such a long period of time passing, their scientists and genius minds couldn’t find a way to solve such a mystery.
All they got was a limited amount of crystals that could be arranged in a specific way to release the devastating energy wave attacks.
That meant they had a limited amount of resources to use this tech, and that was the sole reason behind limiting the use of such scary attacks in the golden quest-like zones.
On another hand, the attacks coming from these crystals were unstoppable! Even the Holy Ones wouldn’t be able to defend themselves against such an attack.
So it was futile to try and fight against this kind of attack using anything like my pillar’s and chariot’s shields. In the end, everything would turn into dust in the face of such a deadly attack.
But there was something great about triggering this kind of attack. After it got done with, the entire three layers of fierce defences would be totally lost!
That meant the Holy Ones would only have two remaining layers as the last obstacle before breaking the seal on these twenty races.
According to the demonesse’s analysis, she believed that the universes who managed to break this seal before must have survived the third layer of defence.
As for the last two layers, they weren’t that easy to handle in return.
The fourth layer was handled by a race that directly belonged to the Holy Ones. The demonesse that took over Hilary’s body and soul came from the demon race of the Holy Ones.
As for the race who took over the fourth layer of defence here, she claimed they came from the silver winged fiend race.
They were like angels, but fallen angels. They got three pairs of wings on their backs, with silver feathers that gave them such a name.
They were quite strong! They used speed and the fact that they were airborne to tear any enemy to shreds.
Their bodies can’t be easily damaged thanks to their wings. According to her, they used various ways to fight including one that would allow two pairs of wings to cover up most of their bodies and protect their vital spots.
As for these vital spots, they weren’t fixed! In such a race, there were many variations and subclasses which had different weak spots.
In brief, taking them down had me and my forces to attack their bodies in general. And that would be hard to achieve thanks to their sturdy feathers.
And these feathers weren’t just used for defence, but also for attack.
These fiends had the ability to separate their feathers. Unlike what I expected when I heard that, these feathers wouldn’t fall once they got detached from their bodies.
I thought they’d use these feathers as rain of arrows or daggers. But the detached feathers would still keep some sort of link with the bodies of these fallen angels, ending up totally controlling them as if they were part of their bodies.
They could use these as swords or knives, and fight head to head with my forces. They could also control these feathers and let them stab, slash, and even fall like rain if they wanted.
They could control them to gather up and form a defensive shield, or move around in a torrent-like tornado-like attack.
All in all, this friend race wasn’t that easy to handle. They were strong in every possible way. They excelled in defence, offence, and even against energy based attacks.
As for their hiding places, she explained this in a more thorough way.
According to her, the third layer of defence was cruel enough to wipe out anything in its path. So how come another race would remain alive in full numbers without getting a single speck of harm?
But when I heard her explanation, I got to know the reason behind this.
