Then, they heard an intense sound of falling into the water.
Below was a surging river.
In their shock, everyone quickly arrived at the edge of the cliff. The moonlight was bright and sprinkled on the river, refracting silver waves. The violent water splash and ripples had yet to dissipate, but the river was wide and the water was deep. It was pitch-black below.
“We can’t drown him!”
The leading mage shouted, “He will definitely take this opportunity to escape!”
The mage raised his staff, and demonic light shone from it. Balls of light flew into the air and were thrown in all directions, emitting a bright light that illuminated the darkness.
Those balls of light slowly descended from the sky like lanterns floating in the void, illuminating the river and the shores in detail, as if it was the day.
“Mage Ogilvy! Mage Noscent!”
He ordered, “Each of you choose five warriors and a few soldiers to advance upstream and downstream respectively. Use the frost spell to build an interception ice dam and cooperate with the water perception spell to search for that famous person!”
“The river is turbid and the undercurrent is rapid. Even if he wants to run, he can’t run far!”
At this moment, a knight shouted, “Mage Lisak! Look!”
Everyone looked in the direction the knight pointed and discovered that the depths of the river below were lit up. Immediately, a large number of bubbles continuously rose, and the water began to shake violently.
The warriors focused and were on guard. The spellcasters’ staffs lit up with destructive beams, but everything that happened next impacted their minds, causing them to be momentarily absent-minded.
The mechanical sound of metal colliding resounded through the world.
A knight muttered, “Oh… god.”
They saw the steel giant stand up from the water. The broken stream kept sliding down the cold iron armor. Under the moonlight, the pure mechanical beauty stretched wantonly. Countless metal parts folded and reformed, bit, pieced, transmitted, and flipped from small to large. Every change contained infinite beauty, cold, precise, and efficient. The buzzing metal sound was like a beautiful movement.
The humans of the other world witnessed all this.
Their minds were blank. They had never seen such a scene. They only knew that compared to this scene, the mechanical skills that the dwarves and the Empire’s craftsmen were proud of were simply a pile of scrap metal.
They looked at all of this. The steel giant stretched its body. Its arms, waist, and thighs gradually approached a human form amidst the rumbling and trembling deformation.
Its head rolled out of its body. It moved its neck, and the small and exquisite armor pieces extended and fused. Then, the giant opened its eyes, and a blazing purple light flickered.
In the end, it reverently and carefully closed its hands and took out the person in its body. The seat was retracted, and the final transformation was completed in front of its chest. The remaining splash slid from its powerful arms. The steel giant standing in the water raised the human in its hand high and kept him away from the cold river.
Moonlight poured onto its body, refracting the halo of steel.
This scene was like an epic painting.
The throne of steel, machinery, and strength was holding up his master, his creator, his king.
Kang De stared at the face close at hand.
He could sense that the connection between him and the other party came from his soul.
Then he heard the other party’s words. The steel giant lowered his eyes and lowered his head to avoid his gaze. The other party spoke Chinese, and his voice was calm and filled with strength.
“Father, I was born because of you.”
Kang De took two deep breaths and calmed down.
It worked.
He said in his mind.
Excitement, exhilaration, and disbelief.
This was clearly a Transformer!
Previously, when he experimented with the rules of the white fog enchantment, he had also thought of this. After all, this was a childhood memory and a man’s romance. Which man did not like all kinds of cars? When your car could even transform into an extremely handsome robot, the two romances would naturally be even more romantic!
However, all the experiments failed. The cars filled with white fog all collapsed.
But now, he had succeeded.
As an unlucky materialist, he did not believe in luck, let alone metaphysics. He believed that there was a pattern to everything. There was definitely a reason for the low probability success. The success of the white fog enchantment was definitely not a simple probability problem.
However, now was not the time to consider this problem.
Kang De immediately eliminated the excess emotions.
The experience of the other world in the past year had honed him, making him even calmer and more decisive at the critical moment.
Kang De’s gaze swept across the steel giant in front of him and saw the justice on his left arm and arm, as well as the various components that indicated that he was very good at fighting.
Then, he turned to look at the cliff.
The natives of the other world were still shocked by this scene.
Therefore, Kang De decisively shouted, “Kill them all!”
The Autobot immediately looked up, and the purple light in his eyes intensified. With a clang, the visor closed.
Mage Lisak was the first to react.
Although this scene was too shocking and the mechanical principle contained in the giant shocked him, the human that the giant promoted was the Cathayan they had chased previously… things were different.
He saw the Cathayan look over.
He could guess what would happen next.
The mage shouted, “Attack!”
The magic staff flashed and the ice-blue flower bloomed. The other party was in the river, so attacking with ice spells and lightning spells should have a miraculous effect—but just as this thought appeared, he saw the steel giant raise its right hand.
Flames flashed and a sharp sound sounded. Six rockets flew over with long flames!
Amidst the explosion, the ground shook. The cliff cracked and rocks fell, raising a large cloud of dust and fog. In the chaotic flames, the robot had long calculated the location and angle.
Kang De, who had yet to have the chance to use it, confidently modified the enchanted gas tank and exploded from behind. He placed it on the launcher on the Autobot’s shoulder and was shot out with a bang. It was as if death had descended from the sky. Flames erupted, and air waves flew. Countless broken steel beads shot in all directions, and screams sounded endlessly!
The Autobot shook its back and reached out to pull it out. It grabbed a huge battle axe and spun it twice. From the way it held it to its temperament, it clearly followed Kang De.
The axe blade shone with lightning. There was an accelerator handle at the handle, and the back of the axe was equipped with two dangerous jets. It looked super dangerous. The Autobot held the axe in his hand and soared into the air. He jumped up with a surging and explosive splash and flew towards the cliff!
Like a meteor, the battle axe slashed down, and an intense shock wave spread!
The most elite combat strength of the pursuers was gathered on the cliff. They had just been washed to the ground by heavy firepower. A few of them were immediately shattered into pieces after being directly hit. The others were either lightly or heavily injured. Before they could recover, the terrifying steel giant had already attacked with an axe!
“It’s coming!”
Mage Lisak lit up his magic shield and protected his body.
He heard the wind being fierce. His staff gathered lava and shot a spell attack at the attacker. However, in the next moment, the mechanical giant scattered the fog, split open the flames, and slashed at him!
The battle axe was blocked by the magic shield, but the heavy attack still pressed down on the mage’s mental strength, causing his vision to turn black and his head to hurt. Before Lisak could counterattack, he was stepped on by the Autobot. The tough magic shield blocked the heavy foot, but this was only temporary!
The Autobot’s entire body emitted a low sound, and the exerting device hummed. The hydraulic system on his right foot increased the strength and output, and the jet under his foot released a stream of flames. In the next moment, Lisak’s magic shield shattered with a bang. His entire body was stepped on by the Autobot. Before he could let out a desperate scream, his body was flattened!
The Autobot’s right foot even turned left and right, as if it was crushing a worm.
It grabbed the battle axe with its right hand and started the engine. It sprayed and swept, facing the angry knight who was rushing over head-on. Even its battle aura had a limit and could not resist the overwhelming power. The sword shattered, its arms shattered, and its sternum broke. The brave warrior screamed and flew out, then was torn to pieces by the impact cannon in his left hand.
“Hostile attackers, I’m going to kill all of you. Think about your last words.”
As it spoke Chinese, the people of the Empire present could not understand its language.
However, it did not stop them from understanding the meaning of this sentence.
The warriors encouraged their battle aura and attacked at the same time, attacking the powerful enemy. They either attacked head-on, soared into the air, rolled and slid, or shot arrows to restrain them. They attacked from all directions.
The Autobot shot and slashed with his axe. Flames flashed, and bullets soared into the air to meet the attack.
Although its body was large, it did not lose its agility and would definitely not let it fall into an encirclement. Once it discovered that the situation was wrong, it would immediately dodge and retreat. It would even turn back into a Hummer and roar as it sprinted all the way, jumping out of the encirclement. Even in the form of a car, guns would extend from all parts of its body, making it impossible to guard against.
In the midst of the battle, Mage Ogilvy waved his wand and summoned an icicle and electric ball, crazily venting his fear and anger at the Autobot. The Autobot turned back into a Hummer as it rolled and dodged. It nimbly shuttled and dodged. After flying a few knights along the way, it rolled and deformed again. The large and small guns with both hands opened fire at the same time. The dense barrage quickly tore open the magic shield and riddled the spellcaster.
The other mage was extremely frightened and lost the courage to attack. He immediately soared into the air and prepared to escape. However, in the next moment, a fire axe shining with three layers of enchanted light flew out and struck the other party in the back. It passed through his chest and knocked him to the ground, causing him to fall into the dust.
Kang De came to him and raised his gun. “You seem to have forgotten me?”
He pulled the trigger and retrieved the battle axe. Taking advantage of the fact that the Autobot had attracted most of his attention, his gaze was calm and his footsteps were light as he began the Kang family’s ancestral craft.
