Chapter 181 A Heist in Broad Daylight

　　It was midnight, and the sea was pitch black. The submarine also had a special light-absorbing coating, making it invisible to the naked eye.

　　Although Suren couldn't see the exact shape of the submarine in the water, judging from the distribution of the Flames of Soul, one of the submarines was significantly longer than the other two, estimated to be over one hundred and thirty meters.

　　Conventional combat submarines wouldn't be built that large; turning, speed, noise – all were negatively impacted by excessive size.

　　If one of the three had such an exaggerated displacement, then it was highly likely that this was the so-called "secret mechanical research base". After all, a mechanical workshop needed a certain amount of space to install those large forging equipment.

　　The large size made sense.

　　Suren ignored the submarine rushing towards him, instead facing the water pressure and heading towards the two submarines that were rapidly submerging.

　　Fortunately, the seabed in this secret realm wasn't too deep, otherwise, if they hid in the seabed hundreds of meters down, he really wouldn't be able to do anything to these guys.

　　......

　　Suren's actions were very decisive. Before those Mafa guys could react, he had already appeared close to that huge submarine.

　　He once again took out eight glass jars from his storage space. As the jars shattered, eight specially modified mechanical octopuses came to life. They stretched their tentacles, using their suckers to cling to the hull.

　　Even before attacking, Suren identified that the outermost layer of the submarine was a titanium alloy pressure-resistant shell, with a very advanced toughness coating and solid runes, far stronger than the armor of the other two submarines. The mechanical octopuses weren't very efficient at cutting through it.

　　In order to force the submarine to stop submerging, he waved the black scythe in his hand, making several swift cuts, finally creating a triangular opening in the thick armor on the hull's surface.

　　This level of breach wasn't enough to cause significant damage to the submarine in the short term, but the guys inside certainly wouldn't dare to continue diving.

　　Just then, a flash of lightning suddenly appeared on the surface of the submarine, bursting out with an exaggerated purple electric arc.

　　The eight mechanical octopuses were stunned by the electricity, almost falling off the hull.

　　Even Suren, who was not far away and had runes flashing all over his body, felt his tongue go numb from the electric shock.

　　Having encountered mechanical octopus attacks many times, how could those Mafa guys not have any precautions? This electric arc attack was probably a later addition to prevent mechanical octopuses from clinging on.

　　Unfortunately, Suren had anticipated this.

　　If he were a submarine designer, lightning would indeed be the best way to deal with mechanical octopuses.

　　But since he had thought of it, these eight specially modified mechanical octopuses were also equipped with special diversion and insulation devices. Being shocked like this wasn't a big problem. They continued to cut into the hull, acting as if they were going to completely destroy the submarine.

　　Suren didn't really want to destroy the submarine, but rather to force these people to surface, and also to make the other party unclear about his real purpose.

　　......

　　For a submarine, mechanical octopuses were like bone-attached maggots, impossible to shake off.

　　Those Mafa guys had already seen it before.

　　But last time, there were only a few.

　　And this time, there were as many as fifty or sixty!

　　At this moment, mechanical armor-clad warriors were ejected from the other two submarines. They discovered Suren and surrounded him one after another.

　　Suren wasn't afraid of fighting in the water.

　　Although his own actions would be restricted, the mechanical warriors were also greatly restricted. The most important thing was that the mechanical octopuses were flexible and versatile in the water, and their combat power would be at its best!

　　As always, with the old tactics, the mechanical octopuses controlled the mechanical warriors, and Suren took the opportunity to wave the black scythe and start reaping.

　　Almost every time, one or two strikes were enough to cut through a mechanical armor.

　　Even if he couldn't see, he could distinguish the enemy's position through the soul perception and the silk threads in the seawater.

　　......

　　As expected, after Suren killed several mechanical warriors in a row, the other party obviously recognized that he was the same person they had encountered before.

　　After all, the mechanical octopus that Grand Duke Raphael secretly researched had only recently been revealed, which also caused Mafa's previously invincible submarines to suffer a great loss, and they hadn't come up with any effective countermeasures.

　　After the large submarine was damaged, it did indeed start to surface.

　　The other two did the same.

　　They wanted to go to the surface of the sea and then find a way to solve these mechanical octopuses.

　　Just then, a fiery red mechanical armor was also ejected from the submarine.

　　As soon as it appeared, the steam boiler on the mechanical armor sprayed out exaggerated steam, and the seawater churned up a large number of bubbles, and it rushed over with a cheetah-like speed.

　　Suren looked familiar too, naturally it was the [Major General-level Demon Blade X1 Mechanical Armor].

　　This mechanical armor with the combat power of a Tier 6 professional made even Qian Tiao very headache. Almost all-system physical and magic dual defense high-end armor, it was like an iron tortoise that made people unable to start.

　　Suren was originally unable to do anything to it, and he had to retreat when he saw it.

　　But now, he had another powerful trump card in his hand.

　　The major general rushed over, and before he even arrived, the [Mana Heat-Melting Lava Python Blade] in his mechanical arm lashed out. The high-temperature red whip burned and boiled in the seawater, and large swaths of white gas came into view.

　　Suren knew that the mechanical octopus couldn't do anything to it when he saw this guy appear, so he didn't waste the precious octopus in his hand to stop it.

　　He didn't dodge or evade, and continued to wave the black scythe to kill those controlled low-level mechanical warriors. Occasionally, he could spare time to give the submarine two cuts to make openings, forcing those guys to speed up their surfacing.

　　In this split second, the crimson long whip had already called out from the boiling water vapor, and Suren just glanced at it with the corner of his eye, and a behemoth appeared beside him, using its strong body to withstand this whip.

　　With a "pa" sound, it seemed that he also heard the sound of sizzling burning.

　　I have to admit that this [Mana Heat-Melting Lava Python Blade] can break through the body-protecting domineering and elemental barrier of a Tier 6 professional, and its power is indeed extraordinary. Even the gargoyle's defense power at this stage is so strong that the black scythe is very difficult to cut, this whip hit it, and it still left a scorched wound a finger deep on its body, revealing the metallic luster of silver.

　　But in a blink of an eye, the wound on the gargoyle's body was restored as before.

　　Suren's slightly frowned brows also relaxed when he saw this.

　　Since this whip couldn't do anything to the gargoyle, the battle situation was almost completely in accordance with the plan.

　　Today's alchemical golem has many new functions, not to mention that it can kill the enemy, at least it can be undefeated.

　　It is also equipped with the [Four-Color Elemental Heart] as the energy core. If you really want to spend it, it must be more durable than that set of major general-level mechanical armor.

　　As long as he persists for a while, Suren's purpose will be achieved.

　　The major general obviously knew that this was a puppeteer's method when he saw that a whip couldn't do anything to the gargoyle.

　　He didn't entangle with the puppet, the power boiler was re-energized and ejected, and his figure quickly changed position against the super-strong water resistance. The movement of the rush position was like a bomb exploding in the sea, which was very exaggerated.

　　Unfortunately, no matter how many times it shifts, the gargoyle's teleportation can always block it in advance.

　　Although the [Teleportation] warlock has gaps, it is much faster than the mechanical armor, and it is completely grasped to death.

　　The gargoyle controlled by Suren dragged down the strongest major general among the enemies, and the remaining threats were much smaller.

　　......

　　The people on Mafa's three submarines were indeed panicked when the major general failed to kill the attacker.

　　The submarines surfaced in a very short time.

　　Suren also stepped on the turtle's back of the submarine and surfaced, and then he could see clearly that this was a behemoth with a length of more than one hundred and fifty meters and a width of more than twenty meters.

　　The other two combat submarines are much smaller, and their length is only about eighty or ninety meters.

　　As soon as they went to the sea, the mechanical octopuses were also exposed to the air.

　　As soon as the hatch on the conning tower opened, hundreds of mechanical warriors wearing various mechanical armors poured out.

　　Those mechanical warriors entangled the mechanical octopuses regardless of life and death, several of them dealt with one, and all kinds of methods such as ship-cutting knives, siege hammers, and violent demolition tools were used to quickly clean up these octopuses.

　　How could Suren let them do what they wanted, grabbing the right time to slash out with the black scythe.

　　At the same time, with a "咻~" sharp whistling sound, a flare also ejected into the sky, and a brilliant firework exploded in the sky.

　　This was obviously calling for reinforcements.

　　Although Suren used a signal jammer to shield the signals in this sea area, he couldn't prevent this physical method of calling for reinforcements.

　　"We need to end the battle as soon as possible..."

　　He muttered in his heart, and with a pinch of the double-handed warlock seal, a cross instantly condensed in the sky.

　　Then he threw out a few scrolls, and hundreds of strange puppet dolls appeared on the sea.

　　Rune puppets are very strong against professionals, but they have almost no effect against these fully armed mechanical warriors.

　　But those people didn't realize that among those rune puppets, there were a few [Siren Banshee Dolls].

　　While arranging the puppet army, Suren opened the black umbrella in his hand with a "bang", and the magic that he had been preparing for a long time just happened to condense successfully, and at this time, he gave a soft shout: "Night Curtain Domain · Open!"

　　In an instant, nearly 100,000 wraiths rushed out of the black umbrella, instantly making the sea ghostly.

　　The black umbrella has a super-strong undead magic penetration. Although the undead cannot invade those armors with mental defense methods in the first time, this is a continuous attack. As long as you stay in the range of the domain's influence for a long time, you will be affected by the wraiths sooner or later.

　　This trick also had a shortcoming, that is, if the opponent didn't get hit the first time, as long as they withdrew from the influence range of the wraith.

　　And now the situation is that Suren is almost "guarding the corpse".

　　He was standing on the submarine, and those mechanical warriors had to come to kill him in close quarters in order to protect the submarine.

　　But once they get close to the coverage area of [Night Curtain], they will be affected.

　　As for long-range attacks, they are also restricted to death.

　　Suren's skin was faintly covered with fish scale patterns, which was naturally the [Hymirleiva's Sea God Rune]. Alchemical bullets hit him, stirring up circles of water ripples, but they were neither painful nor itchy.

　　Although the mechanical armor is equipped with a large-scale artillery that can destroy ships, they dare not fire it at will.

　　That kind of wide-ranging firepower coverage, not to mention whether it can hurt Suren, but it will definitely hurt the submarine.

　　No one dared to fire randomly.

　　......

　　Mysterious attacks are the means that mechanical warriors are most unwilling to encounter.

　　Only magic can defeat magic.

　　That "Major General" had also seen the methods of the black umbrella before, obviously they were also prepared.

　　It was after the "Night Curtain Domain" was launched that the equipment boxes on the arms of those mechanical warriors clicked open, revealing magic scrolls neatly arranged like potions. One of the white scrolls popped out, bursting open in the air, and the "Holy Light" emitted like a flash bomb, radiating dazzling white light.

　　Dozens of them were released together, illuminating this large area of the sea.

　　Those red evil spirits released by the black umbrella were caught off guard, and a part of them was instantly burned by the holy light, and some of them shrank back to the bottom of the black umbrella.

　　Suren looked at it without any fluctuations, "Holy Light Scroll?"

　　The night curtain driven by his current death law cannot be dispelled by any low-level holy light technique.

　　Even if the light law restrains him, it would take at least the law level of Tier 6 or so to dispel his magic. But that kind of level of scroll is not something that can be obtained easily. Usually, a Tier 6 magic scroll requires a Tier 6 professional to spend several days making it, and the cost is very high, and it cannot be stored for too long.

　　It is absolutely impossible to use it as a conventional combat resource and mass-equip it.

　　This pile of Tier 3 and Tier 4 scrolls, in addition to slightly slowing down the erosion of the evil spirits, did not have much effect.

　　Suren's existence is still unsolvable.

　　That major general was still entangled by the gargoyle, and the means of encirclement and suppression of Suren by some colonels and lieutenant colonels were too pale and powerless.

　　On the contrary, because of the restriction of the mechanical octopus, Suren used the black scythe to harvest one mechanical warrior after another.

　　The mechanical warriors in the submarine are still pouring out non-stop, and the puppets all over the sky are being blown up in pieces. But Suren also seized the opportunity to let the corpses of the few [Siren Banshee Dolls] that were smashed "accidentally" fall into the two attack submarines.

　　The pressure-resistant shell of the submarine has a very high technological content, and can defend against most mental attacks and sound wave attacks. It is only possible to hurt people if they are thrown in.

　　......

　　Suren looked like he was going to destroy the submarine,

　　And the mechanical warriors of Mafa wanted to protect the submarine regardless of life and death,

　　So the battle was very fierce.

　　Looking at Suren as if he had the upper hand, the mechanical octopuses in his hand were actually damaged quite a bit.

　　Killing a thousand enemies, if not losing eight hundred, losing five hundred is also there.

　　But his face has always shown an extraordinary composure.

　　It's not that he doesn't feel sorry for his little family property, it's actually a psychological warfare.

　　He wanted to wait for the big submarine to open the hatch, and he kept manipulating the mechanical octopus to continue cutting the hull.

　　Looking like he was here to destroy the submarine, but he couldn't really sink the ship.

　　But if it drags on, exceeding the planned time, he must evacuate.

　　At that time, although he killed some mechanical warriors, he also lost most of his mechanical octopuses, which can only be regarded as a lose-lose situation.

　　This is not the situation he wants to see.

　　Although Suren felt distressed about the mechanical octopuses he had finally saved up, he continued to consume them.

　　He knew that the other party must be more flustered than him!

　　In anyone's mind, this was a premeditated sneak attack.

　　The enemy dared to attack, and must have had a thorough grasp of it.

　　What's more, it was an enemy he had encountered three times and two times.

　　As expected, Suren guessed right!

　　At this moment, the hatch of the large submarine suddenly opened, and a very special mechanical warrior ejected out.

　　Those Mafa people also knew that if they didn't kill Suren, the consequences would be very bad.

　　Even if they could drag on until the reinforcements arrived, they would suffer heavy losses.

　　They couldn't afford to gamble.

　　At the moment when the hatch opened, Suren felt a mental body rush in instantly, and he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: "Finally there is a chance!"

　　That mental projection was naturally Pandora's Astral Projection technique.

　　This was the most critical part of the plan.

　　As long as Pandora's mental power can invade, then those people inside who are not wearing armor can be controlled. The value of this ship can be preserved as much as possible.

　　But before Suren could be happy, at this moment, the mechanical warrior in mid-air suddenly turned his head.

　　In the All-Knowing Eye, he saw an emotionless red light eyeball.

　　[Alpha Laser Alchemical Eyeball]

　　Quality: Dark Gold

　　Description: Red-eye special effect, looking forward to penetrating

　　Curse characteristics: It can quickly determine the target's material defense form, energy barrier type, and emit laser beams of different wavebands for specific purposes. It can cause 100% penetration to targets whose law level is not higher than this item, and is accompanied by burns, light corrosion, and other damage; users who have not comprehended high-level light laws will consume a lot of Qi and blood, and cause permanent blindness;

　　Details: An alchemical product from the dawn period, a magic eye refined from a Void Evil Eye, which releases a fatal light at the cost of blindness; the attack speed is very fast, when you see it, it's when you are hit;

　　At this glance, Suren secretly said that it was not good.

　　Usually, people would think that mechanical warriors are far less researched in alchemy than normal professionals, so the possibility of them having those weird cursed objects in their hands is not high.

　　Mafa started out with machinery, but it doesn't mean they don't have traditional professionals.

　　The guy in front of him is an alchemist in armor, and he is using a very dangerous cursed object!

　　When the red light in that guy's eyes lit up, his body also visibly shriveled.

　　However, it was this glance that made Suren's scalp explode instantly.

　　He had never underestimated the enemy.

　　But the strange cursed objects in this world are really hard to prevent.

　　How fast is the speed of light?

　　Almost at the same time as Suren saw it, the red light had already hit his forehead.

　　The red light was as easy as poking through a piece of paper, directly breaking through his death barrier, and then it drilled hard into his skull like a sharp knife.

　　Fortunately, there is also the flesh body blessed by [Rune Vajra].

　　The skin, muscles, and then the bones are engraved with runes.

　　Suren only felt that his head was about to be burned and exploded by the high temperature.

　　But it was because of this moment of obstruction that he was given the opportunity to teleport.

　　"唰~"

　　Looking again, Suren had already appeared several meters away.

　　He was panting heavily, and his back was already covered in cold sweat.

　　Fortunately, he engraved the [Hymirleiva's Sea God Rune] on his skin. Even if this kind of god-level rune is only 15%, its law level is higher than most top-level spells.

　　If it was the previous [Rune Vajra], he would have been killed by this red light at a glance.

　　"Damn it!"

　　After walking on the line of death, Suren cursed in his heart.

　　At the same time as teleporting, he waved the black scythe in his hand, and the head of the guy who released the red eye was also cut off.

　　Suren pulled the silk thread and pulled the head inlaid with the metal eyeball into his hand.

　　Before he could take a closer look, at this moment, Pandora's mental message came from his mind: "It's under control!"

　　Suren was overjoyed in his heart, and the fear of the near-death just now was instantly diluted.

　　Controlling the people in the submarine, this plan was half successful.

　　He immediately sent a message: "Close the hatch. Miss Pandora, please protect me!"

　　Pandora quickly responded: "Okay!"

　　As soon as this voice fell, the hatch of the submarine was completely sealed. A person in a cloak came stepping on the waves on the sea and landed beside Suren.

　　Suren looked at Pandora beside him, and his sense of security exploded instantly. He said quickly, "Thank you."

　　Pandora just nodded slightly, "Mm."

　　With the help of this unfathomable ally, Suren no longer had any scruples, and he didn't bother to kill those mechanical warriors anymore. He pinched the double-handed warlock seal, and a black hole slowly condensed in his palm: "Alchemy · Void Whale Swallowing!"

　　Then, he looked at the submarine and slapped it down with his palm.

　　As the dark spiritual power was poured in, the black hole became larger and larger.

　　That's right!

　　Suren's plan was to openly snatch this submarine in front of this group of Mafa mechanical warriors!

　　.......

　　Almost in the same rhythm as Suren had previously envisioned, Qian Tiao also sent an urgent message when Pandora controlled the personnel in the large submarine.

　　"Suren, we have encountered the main force of the North Sea Fleet, and the first wave has been blocked by us, but a master has come. We can only delay for half an hour at most. Be careful on your side."

　　"Okay! The time should be enough!"

　　After Suren responded, he didn't say much, and continued to pour in dark spiritual power to slowly enlarge the opening of the [Void Whale Swallowing] magic.

　　To "swallow" such a submarine of more than one hundred meters, this is definitely a risky move!

　　This takes a lot of time.

　　Seeing the black hole vortex in Suren's hand getting bigger and bigger, how could those Mafa people not understand what he was going to do.

　　The other party didn't want to sink the submarine fleet at all, but wanted to rob the ship!

　　Oh my God, are these guys crazy!

　　The major general was anxious and full of disbelief.

　　But he couldn't get rid of the entanglement of the gargoyle, and could only watch Suren's black hole getting bigger and bigger.

　　"Damn it, the enemy's real purpose is to seize 'Royal No. 7'! All combat personnel from No. 1 and No. 2 ships leave the cabin and encircle and kill the enemy with all their strength!"

　　"Yes!"

　　With an order, the mechanical warriors in the other two submarines also left the cabin one after another.

　　But an unexpected scene appeared.

　　As soon as those mechanical warriors ejected out, they fell into the water like they were drunk.

　　"Heh."

　　Suren narrowed his eyes and was not surprised.

　　He had just thrown a few [Siren Banshee Dolls] into the submarine, and that kind of inaudible infrasound wave had been covering it for so long, and it might not be fatal, but it could still make a group of frail mechanical warriors dizzy.

　　Suren seized the opportunity and controlled the living corpse to wave the black scythe to harvest a few more.

　　.......

　　"Damn it!"

　　Seeing his subordinates falling into the water one after another, the major general's face turned even darker. He suddenly retreated hundreds of meters, out of the range of Suren's puppet theater.

　　Since they knew that the enemy was not going to sink the submarine, then they didn't need to protect the ship desperately.

　　And he also found that Suren needed to cast a space spell on the spot, which was a rare opportunity.

　　But he was also afraid of breaking something.

　　Sink the "Royal No. 7 Secret Mechanical Research Institute"?

　　No,

　　If the ship is sunk, the precious research instruments inside will be destroyed, which is an immeasurable loss!

　　Not only the loss of property and technology, but also a large number of researchers.

　　That kind of catastrophic consequence may even affect the alliance between Mafa and the King of the North Sea!

　　This is not something that a major general can bear.

　　Except for the personal order of Princess Stika, no one dares to make this decision!

　　But if it is not sunk, there is still a glimmer of hope.

　　This is the Void Secret Realm, and when the masters in the North Sea Fleet come to support, they can still snatch it back!

　　Thinking of this, the major general immediately ordered: "Everyone, long-range attack! Without harming the safety range of 'Royal No. 7', kill those two guys first!"

　　"Yes!"

　　After receiving the order, the hundred mechanical warriors no longer entangled with the mechanical octopus, and retreated a few hundred meters.

　　Then they raised their guns and cannons one after another and bombarded Suren and the two of them.

　　Seeing those mechanical warriors leaving, Suren did not control the mechanical octopus to chase them, but continued to cut the other two submarines.

　　In the current situation, the other two combat ships must not be obtained, but they cannot be left to the enemy to chase them later.

　　At this moment, the sound of "噼里啪啦" exploded in his eardrums, and various guns and ammunition covered him like a torrential rain.

　　Suren controlled the gargoyle to stand beside him, and the huge wings of the alchemical golem blocked almost all attacks.

　　Occasionally, some stray bullets hit him without pain or itch.

　　As for the shells, there is Pandora.

　　This alchemical homunculus is now showing off her unique skill of catching shells with her bare hands, which shocked Suren quite a bit.

　　Suren looked at the intensity of the attack and knew that the other party had scruples and did not have the determination to sink the submarine.

　　But this was also expected.

　　If it was an ordinary submarine, it would have been sunk long ago with the people and the ship.

　　But now, it has been determined that it is the "Secret Mechanical Research Base", and the people of Mafa are absolutely reluctant to sink it.

　　Technology, equipment, and personnel are all priceless treasures.

　　Especially the technicians brought from Mafa, if they are lost, they will really be gone.

　　What's more, Suren also got the news from Qian Tiao that a high-level professional has crossed their interception and is rushing here directly. It will take at most ten minutes to arrive.

　　So this group of Mafa people probably think they "can counterattack", and have not used super-powerful weapons.

　　That "Major General" also led people to charge over several times, wanting to cause Suren some trouble and interrupt the casting of spells.

　　But no one was able to successfully cross the interception of Pandora and the gargoyle.

　　They could only watch the time slowly pass.

　　Both sides were dragging time.

　　.......

　　In this way, another ten minutes passed in stalemate.

　　The [Void Whale Swallowing] magic consumes a lot of dark spiritual power. Suren continued to output, and his face was pale at the moment, showing signs of exhaustion.

　　And the progress of the magic in his hand seemed to be only half completed.

　　This also successfully gave the enemy an illusion.

　　But in fact, Suren had completed 99%.

　　This is a little space trick he had previously stripped, using some special space stacks to confuse people's visual perception!

　　Suddenly, a look of joy burst out in Suren's eyes: "It's done!"

　　Guessing that the other party was reluctant to blow up the submarine was one thing, but after all, there was a gambling component.

　　He had been worried for so long, and what he was waiting for was this last moment.

　　The price paid before, the harvest now is a thousand times, ten thousand times!

　　Suren forcibly resisted the feeling of weakness that he was about to collapse, and the warlock seal changed again, and the black hole suddenly expanded by a hundred meters, visibly covering the entire submarine.

　　As soon as the magic was retracted, the huge submarine disappeared without a trace on the sea.

　　"It's been taken in!"

　　Suren was overjoyed in his heart, and instantly collapsed.

　　He didn't bother to clean up the mess. Pandora grabbed him, and as soon as the Tsukuyomi illusion was cast, dozens of shadows were left on the sea.

　　Those Mafa people wanted to chase, but after chasing not far, the light and shadow all collapsed, and where could they see any human figures on the sea?
