The Insect Swarm closest to the front line has some parts returning, and it’s impossible for this side to be breached in a short time.
Moreover, nearly two hundred Cat Witches accompanied her this time, ready to teleport as backup support at any moment.
Without the worry of losing ground, Bai Yi decided to observe for now.
Taking this opportunity to see what these Contractors can really achieve in combat would also help the Insect Swarm prepare for upcoming battles.
She could also observe these peculiar abilities from different worlds to get some inspiration.
She even called over the witches who were still researching, to gather ... well, inspiration together.
And the Contractors indeed gave Bai Yi quite a "surprise."
Contractors sent here are, of course, not weak, especially that Sword Man.
It’s unclear whether his long sword has something special or it’s the Sword Man’s skill itself, but even without flashy abilities, every slash can easily leave a gash on the Erosion Worm.
This is after their alloy armor has reduced some of the damage; otherwise, Bai Yi would think that even newly bred Erosion Worms might be slashed in two!
And through the feedback from the insect on his hand, there is a special power embedded in the slash.
It threw the Magic Power inside it into unintentional chaos, making it hard to control. If not for the massive Spirit Attribute brought by the network, the Magic Power might have been uncontrollable.
Nonetheless, the self-healing ability of the Swarm was greatly restricted, and metal manipulation became slow.
Even the Sword Man himself was shocked by this effect.
His long sword has been his companion for a long time, a weapon he’s fortified over time. Along with a stack of passive skills, its sharpness has reached the level of spatial cutting!
Even when facing Tier Six bosses, few can withstand his blade.
Yet these seemingly mass-produced insect soldiers not only withstood it directly, but he also noticed that the wounds on them were slowly healing!
That is a passive ability he gained through faith from a world with a God called the God of Chaos!
It can inject energy into the opponent to make it difficult to control Magic Power, a nemesis of most professions!
But those insects still have self-healing capabilities...
He did not think much further.
Facing enemies of this caliber, distraction is an absolute taboo.
He merely shouted to remind his teammates:
"These bugs have a self-healing trait, don’t just wound them!"
And he demonstrated a new ability, instantly flashing to the injured insect, stacking a skill in a single slash.
This is a skill similar to that suppressing self-healing passive ability.
Unlike the passive which only disrupts Magic Power, this is an offensive active skill!
It can throw the opponent into a completely uncontrollable chaotic state, unable to maintain themselves, leading to direct annihilation!
Confirming through the Paradise panel that this has been a complete kill, he nodded almost imperceptibly.
But before he could seek the next target, he suddenly sensed a wave of danger, and his panel frantically popped up with messages, clearly alerts from his teammates.
His strong combat intuition allowed him to activate a life-saving skill without hesitation, instantly vanishing from the spot.
The next moment, where he was standing was covered by dense Magic Power Radiance, executing a standard firepower coverage.
The power of Metallization is strong because it grants the Swarm more than just defensive reinforcement, but an all-around boost!
Even when these guarding Swarms appeared, some began constructing Magic Guns, completing the Magic Power filling while several Contractors were focused on the melee at the front!
Under normal circumstances, the Swarm’s shooting has to consider their Magic Power consumption, but now they are right next to Shiyu Tower where Magic Power Crystals are produced!
The Insect Clan’s logistics ensure they don’t need to worry about consumption, only power!
During their time in the territory, they had already learned all the Magic Weapon knowledge from the witches.
Though they lack practical experience, isn’t this the perfect opportunity?
The Swarm even considered the weird power systems of the Contractors, possibly producing some form of damage mitigation or immunity.
From the Magic Side’s Annihilation Bomb and Explosive Bomb to the science side’s various High Explosive Bombs and pure kinetic bullets—they’ve used them all.
If not for being outside the territory, without the blessing of the territory’s space logistics system, and biological difficulty in storing radioactive materials, they would have used depleted uranium bombs.
The firing net formed by dozens of different attacks disregarding consumption is more terrifying than most military firepower coverage.
Enough to instantly vaporize a Tier Six behemoth.
While Sword Man avoided it with some ability, his other teammates lacked similar capabilities and had to endure the covering attack.
A total of five battle Contractors like Sword Man remained.
Since their abilities don’t seem to distinguish between friend and foe, correspondingly, they pose a significant threat to the Swarm and already, with their peculiar abilities, managed to kill over ten Erosion Worms at first sight.
