CHAPTER 482: 391 CHAPTER ASSASSINATION OPERATION_1

Yan Xing did not have to wait too long before Hibel emerged from the equipment room wearing her Super Armament test model.

At first glance, Yan Xing was greatly disappointed. This was because Hibel had added a lining inside the magic armor, concealing any exposed skin. However, upon closer inspection, he realized that this combination actually had more appeal. Truthfully, showing too much skin is only stunning at first glance; one quickly tires of it. Just as flowers need green leaves to enhance their beauty, well-matched armor and lining are far more aesthetically pleasing.

Chui Chui should learn from this, not just rigidly stick to templates.

Can a real woman and a two-dimensional woman truly be the same?

Then, Yan Xing noticed that Hibel’s armor used more materials than the magic armors of Donna and Arlanda. Presumably, more integrated magic circles had been added. Not only did the armor use more materials, but over a dozen pipelines also connected the back of Hibel’s armor to a large server unit. The server was mounted on an automated flatbed trolley that followed Hibel closely. The lights on the server blinked frantically, and the cooling fans inside emitted a loud WHIRR.

Hibel, feeling embarrassed by Yan Xing’s gaze, said, "I only dare to wear this when it’s just me and Chui Chui here. But... I added a lining on my own; it shouldn’t affect the test, right?"

Without waiting for Chui Chui to answer, Yan Xing said, "It won’t affect anything. You can be more casual during this test, but if you were to wear it outside, you’d still need a lining; otherwise, it would look too revealing. Moreover, I think it looks better with the lining. Chui Chui, design linings for Donna’s and Arlanda’s armor as well. This is for battle, not a beauty contest."

Chui Chui pouted in dissatisfaction but still responded, "Yes, Master, as you wish."

Next, Chui Chui and Hibel demonstrated the research and development progress of the Super Armament to Yan Xing. The basic structural design of the Super Armament designed for Hibel was complete. The server connected to her back powered its operations. The unresolved issue was how to reconfigure the server and its necessary power source into a design based on magic circles. Only then could the integrated magic circle imprinting technology be used to etch the server into the Super Armament. These technical issues were Chui Chui’s to resolve; Yan Xing was only interested in the results.

The magic armor Hibel currently wore would possess all the functionalities of the Super Armament once connected to the server. If disconnected, it could also function as standard magic armor.

The test began.

Hibel first activated the armor’s Flight Function, her entire body lifting off the ground and floating. However, because she was still connected to the server by pipelines, Hibel could not make any significant maneuvers.

Next, she demonstrated its magic capabilities. Hibel immediately activated the Super Armament’s most powerful mode, and dozens of magic circles unfolded layer by layer around her. Guided by Hibel’s intent, these magic circles combined with incredible speed. Water System, Fire System, Air System, Earth System, and their Derived Magic spells formed in an instant. Then, just as they were about to be unleashed, the Magic Power was withdrawn, and the completed magic constructs were disassembled.

An ordinary Mage would undoubtedly be incapable of such extreme Magic Power control and would consequently trigger a runaway magic reaction, suffering a backlash. But the Super Armament could effortlessly retract more than a dozen spells from their pre-release state simultaneously. This capability alone made the Super Armament a potent airborne magic-casting platform.

But the Super Armament’s capabilities extended far beyond this. The optical lens in the Super Armament’s helmet provided Elemental Vision, allowing the wearer to clearly see the flow of magic elements and ascertain the concentration and activity of various magic elements in the area. It could analyze the magic energy signatures from an enemy’s spellcasting to predict incoming spells as they formed. Even if the opponent cast a spell not stored in its database, the system could analyze the unknown magic’s properties, functions, and potency, then provide the warrior with suggested countermeasures. When under attack, the Super Armament would activate the corresponding Defense magic based on the attack’s properties and could convert a portion of the magic energy into a reverse Magical Explosion to fire back at the opponent.

The array of functionalities was truly dazzling.

With its dedicated server, the Super Armament, alongside Magic Weapons, enhanced a warrior’s strength to a degree that was worlds apart from what conventional equipment could offer.

After witnessing the demonstration, Yan Xing gained a direct, intuitive understanding of the capabilities the Super Armament could achieve. A hero equipped with the Super Armament would undoubtedly have no problem confronting a Master Level hero.

However... the Mages from Cloud Tower had already arrived in Storm City, and the Super Armament still faced a major unresolved problem.

Hibel detached the pipelines from her back and walked over to Yan Xing. Admiring the armor she wore, she exclaimed, "This is like living armor! It feels connected to my very being, responding instantly to my thoughts. It gives me a sense of control I’ve never experienced before, making me feel that even if I faced a Giant Dragon, I’d have the courage to slay it. I so badly want to own it soon."

Yan Xing said, "Just give Chui Chui a little time; I believe she’ll resolve the issue quickly. Hmm... You must be quite familiar with Storm City, right? I’m planning to visit in a few days. How about you be my guide?"

Hibel, who had been excited, frowned upon hearing Yan Xing’s intention to go to Storm City. "What are you going to Storm City for? The Mages from Cloud Tower are there!"
