Chapter 554: Mountain Fortress·Adamantium Mode, Ice Crystal Spider Fiend's Counterattack

Shiiii—

With the Ice Crystal Spider Fiend's movement, the already flat ice surface instantly let out a dull roar, and a massive bulge rapidly extended toward the Mountain Fortress like a living creature.

Wherever it passed, the ice layer shattered and arched upward, forming a rugged and sharp ice ridge, like an ice dragon charging wildly underground.

Rumble—

Naz, through the biological eyeballs, saw the constantly rising ice ridge chasing behind him.

The sharp, blade-like ice edges on the ridge made him sense danger.

At his mental command, under the control of the other implanted drivers,

The tracks of the Mountain Fortress changed direction.

The Mountain Fortress, which had been charging forward at full speed, performed a horizontal drift like a crab.

Rumble—

The tracks left long marks on the ice surface, sliding sideways for twenty meters continuously. After confirming the ice ridge couldn't reach it,

The Mountain Fortress's tracks changed direction again and charged forward.

The constantly rising and extending ice ridge was about to brush past the Mountain Fortress.

But unexpectedly, the Ice Crystal Spider Fiend's screech rang out again.

The Ice Crystal Spider Fiend, which had been hundreds of meters away, instantly turned into a blur of blue light and vanished.

When it reappeared,

It was already beside the Mountain Fortress, leaping high into the air.

With a wave of the dozen tentacles in its mouth, an ice tornado formed by Icicle Shards emerged from its maw.

It attacked the Mountain Fortress.

The constantly spinning ice tornado, like a shredder running at full power, struck the alchemical energy shield covering the Mountain Fortress's surface.

One attacked, one defended.

The two clashed again.

But clearly, the alchemical energy shield was rapidly dimming.

Inside the command room, continuous energy shortage warnings and danger alarms sounded.

Naz knew he absolutely couldn't escape before dealing with this creature.

There was no more wishful thinking in his heart.

"Dammit, this Yu Yuan Shelter is such a tough nut to crack. Even if I kill him and get that epic three-star warship Blueprints, I'm still taking a massive loss."

Even as he thought this, his actions didn't stop.

Between losing money and life or death, there was no choice to make.

"Activate Mountain Fortress·Adamantium Combat Mode!"

【Mountain Fortress activating Adamantium Combat Mode. Backup energy initiating.】

At that moment, the alchemical energy shield had become extremely dim.

As if it could collapse at any moment.

The Vanguard Combat Units that had been hanging under the Mountain Fortress's belly detached once again.

They nimbly rushed toward the Ice Crystal Spider Fiend.

Sharp energy threads attacked the Ice Crystal Spider Fiend's mouthparts.

The attack target was precisely the dozen tentacles inside its maw.

The Ice Crystal Spider Fiend naturally knew how sharp these energy threads were.

The ice tornado immediately expanded, covering its entire mouthparts.

The energy threads' attack came back fruitless.

But because the ice tornado expanded, its size grew, making its attack on the alchemical energy shield less concentrated than before.

This gave the Mountain Fortress an opportunity.

The Mountain Fortress, originally in fortress form, began to reassemble and reorder its mechanical biological structure.

The six tracks merged into two giant tracks serving as the chassis.

The fortress belly deformed, the chest command room rose upward…

In the blink of an eye, the Mountain Fortress, in its mobile fortress form, switched to combat mode.

Transforming into a mechanical four-armed Adamantium.

Just as the transformation completed, the Vanguard Combat Units had already had four units frozen by the Ice Crystal Spider Fiend's attack.

Only three Vanguard Combat Units remained, dodging attacks while hiding everywhere.

But their speed was also getting slower and slower.

They were about to follow the fate of the other units, turning into ice sculptures.

Suddenly, two mechanical arms swung out fiercely.

They struck the Ice Crystal Spider Fiend's mouthparts heavily.

The Ice Crystal Spider Fiend staggered back two steps, its head tilting upward.

The Mountain Fortress·Adamantium's attack was immediately effective, scattering the ice tornado.

The alchemical energy shield surrounding the Mountain Fortress finally completed its mission and shattered with a roar.

Its greatest defensive capability was broken.

Naz understood how dangerous the situation was now.

The backup energy could only provide at most 30% of energy.

In Mountain Fortress·Adamantium state, the energy consumption rate increased again. The time he had left was truly not much.

Where would there be any hesitation?

He went all out with full Firepower.

The two strongest arms grabbed the Ice Crystal Spider Fiend's foremost front legs, firmly controlling them.

Completely exposing its mouthparts and pulling it closer.

The other two arms, like pile drivers, went "Dong—Dong—Dong" pounding at the Ice Crystal Spider Fiend's head.

Meanwhile, other parts of the Mountain Fortress·Adamantium also attacked the Ice Crystal Spider Fiend simultaneously.

Laser cutting, alchemical acid spraying, Shockwave cannons…

He was basically using every ounce of strength he had.

Only wanting to end the battle as quickly as possible.

In an instant, the Ice Crystal Spider Fiend's body was covered in a mess of colors.

This sudden attack stunned the Ice Crystal Spider Fiend.

After all, it had always lived in the Icy Drop Abyss and had been in a state of slumber.

When had it ever been attacked like this?

Although the attacks from this creature in front of it weren't fatal and the damage was limited, feeling the strangeness on its body,

Especially its head suffering trauma again, some bad memories surfaced in the Ice Crystal Spider Fiend's mind.

The Ice Crystal Spider Fiend felt it had been greatly insulted.

The next moment, the two front legs that the Mountain Fortress·Adamantium had been controlling snapped off on their own with a crack.

Losing its restraint,

The Ice Crystal Spider Fiend's other six spider legs bent, then forcefully leaped up. Its two hind legs had already transformed into sharp ice spears, stabbing straight at the Mountain Fortress·Adamantium's chest.

That was exactly where the Mountain Fortress·Adamantium's command room was located.

Naz, looking at the "ice spear" right in front of him, instantly turned pale.

Ignoring everything else, he fiercely slammed a button on his seat.

Vwoom—

The Ice Crystal Spider Fiend's hind legs stabbed into the command room's observation window.

But they only penetrated a few meters before stopping.

Because outside the command room, ten energy ropes appeared, tightly binding and restraining the Ice Crystal Spider Fiend's two hind legs.

The Ice Crystal Spider Fiend's attack had relied on a single burst of momentum. After being obstructed, being midair, it had no remaining strength.

Naz, looking at the ice blade less than a meter from him, was terrified.

But he also knew the opportunity couldn't be missed.

Naturally, he wouldn't let such a rare chance slip by.

The Mountain Fortress·Adamantium's arms grabbed the Ice Crystal Spider Fiend's two hind legs again, planning to restrain them like before, creating an opportunity for the next attack.

But the enraged Ice Crystal Spider Fiend's combat awareness was far more terrifying than Naz had imagined.

Sensing its hind legs restrained by energy ropes, the next moment, its two hind legs similarly followed suit, breaking off on their own.

Sacrificing its body for space.

Creating distance from the Mountain Fortress·Adamantium.

Shiiii—

Its mouthparts opened wide, screeching at the blizzard covering the sky.

Then Naz witnessed the most unforgettable scene of his life.

The blizzard that had turned the entire world white

Turned into a tornado-like air current that completely enveloped the Ice Crystal Spider Fiend, forming a massive blizzard sphere.

In an instant, the Ice Crystal Spider Fiend's figure was nowhere to be seen.

And because the command room's observation window had two large holes,

The biting wind and snow also flew into the command room through those two big gaps.

The temperature inside plummeted. Although he had injected the Potent Antifreeze Hormone Injection, it only improved his cold resistance, not making him truly ignore the cold.

Frost began to spread inside the command room.

But Naz had no time to worry about this. Although he didn't know what the Ice Crystal Spider Fiend was doing,

His instincts were frantically warning him that he had to interrupt that giant spider's actions.

Otherwise, he would surely die.

With this thought, the Mountain Fortress·Adamantium's four arms immediately gathered together, merging into the shape of a cannon barrel.

Naz glanced at the remaining energy—25%.

A ruthless glint appeared in his eyes.

—Activating Alchemical Alpha Disintegration Cannon, injecting 10% energy, FIRE!
