Witch Special

Fortunately, the shells didn't actually hit the ground. After being launched, they first collided with a flexible barrier, creating countless downward dents. However, due to the existence of this mental barrier, the collision fuses within them were not triggered, so they remained as shells, suspended in mid-air.

At that moment, everyone looked towards Tornado, who was mid-air. Having fully unleashed her spiritual power, Tornado was now enveloped in her signature green light. Her long hair danced wildly with the violent energy stream. Powerful spiritual power poured from her eyes, emitting a terrifying light. Just looking at her directly was enough to make one's heart tremble.

Perhaps this is the origin of her heroic name, "Trembling Tornado." Just like boiling iron, rushing rivers, roaring waves, and erupting volcanoes, the mere sight of them evokes a sense of the immense power within, a feeling of awe. A tornado at full power rivals even those formidable natural disasters.

However, such a large number of shells clearly put a huge mental burden on Longjuan. Longjuan could only barely catch them and stabilize them in mid-air, but he had no way to continue with other operations. Whether it was sending them down to the ground or throwing them all back, it was beyond Longjuan's ability.

It was the first time that Lin Zhenxi witnessed Tornado's full strength. The tremendous spiritual energy that seemed to cover the sky made her feel very shocked.

In fact, ever since completing her magical transformation, Lin Zhenxi had always felt pretty good about herself. She had also resolved several major crises, which had given her the illusion that she was already quite successful in this world. But now, seeing Tornado's psychic curtain that covered the sky, Lin Zhenxi was filled with envy.

What kind of spiritual power is this? It's like a nouveau riche squandering it at will. If Lin Zhenxi had even one-tenth of Tornado's spiritual power... never mind one-tenth, one-hundredth! If Lin Zhenxi had even one-hundredth of Tornado's spiritual power, the elements she could render would be double what she currently has.

Although the forms of power of mages and psychics are different, one is magic and the other is psychic power, but at least in terms of the demand for mental power, the two are the same.

The only difference is that people with super powers use their own mental power directly, or their mental power that has been alienated and has other properties, while mages need to use the essence of magic power in their bodies as the source, resonate the surrounding elemental particles through mental power, transform the free elements in the air into elements that can be controlled by themselves, and then achieve various magical effects through the arrangement of elements.

People with super powers use their abilities more directly, but this also leads to the single form of their power. Basically, whatever ability they awaken is the ability they have in this life. At most, they can deeply develop their abilities, study various theoretical knowledge, and then use their abilities to leverage the power of other categories.

For example, someone originally awakened to the ability to manipulate electromagnetic force, and then through continuous development of their abilities, they mastered electronic intrusion, manipulated iron sand to condense into a large sword, used electric current to accelerate coins to play a handheld electromagnetic cannon, and even manipulated the magnetic field to continuously flip to generate repulsive force to make themselves fly... Although it ultimately comes down to the flexible application of electromagnetic force, the development of abilities still expands one's own abilities.

However, compared to the mage's capricious and diverse magical effects, the psychic's abilities were still too narrow. While a mage required an extra rendering step when casting magic, not only did they significantly reduce their own energy consumption by mobilizing external elemental forces, they could also create hundreds of different magical effects through the unique arrangement of elemental particles.

But in the final analysis, both systems require mental power to support them. The more mental power one has, the stronger the power that can be mobilized.

However, improving mental strength is not that easy. If you don't master the meditation method well, it can only increase slowly with the development of the body, and it will basically be fixed by the age of 20. Later, as the body ages, the mental strength will gradually weaken.

Lin Zhenxi was lucky; her witch teacher taught her how to meditate correctly. However, both refining magic power and improving mental strength were extremely slow processes. While magic power could be rapidly increased through transformation, mental strength couldn't. Even after nearly a decade, Lin Zhenxi's mental strength was only a few times greater than that of an average person.

Her witch teacher said that the cultivation of mental strength cannot be rushed. If Lin Zhenxi practices meditation for a few hundred years, she can become as strong as her.

However, even with Tornado's immense mental strength, it was still not enough after blocking countless giant shells, and now he was just struggling to hold on.

Moreover, Tornado is now using all her strength. Continuing the stalemate means that she will continue to consume her mental power, and no matter how strong the mental power is, it will be exhausted.

Therefore, if Tornado didn't adjust quickly, her mental strength would be overdrawn. The more powerful the psychic, the more difficult it would be to recover if their mental strength was damaged. If Tornado damaged his brain due to overdrawing his mental strength, it would probably not be as simple as just staying in the hospital.

So, what can I do in this situation? Lin Zhenxi looked at the huge shells above his head and pondered.

The shells overhead could fall at any time, and the ground was once again in chaos.

The alien captives, seeing their spaceships intent on silencing them, didn't bother surrendering and instead stood up and began running everywhere. However, the spaceships covered nearly the entirety of City A, leaving every area within range of the artillery. Even if they ran, they could only add to the chaos.

However, the heroes now have no time to care about the prisoners of war. The Hero Association headquarters can withstand the first round of wide-area bombing, and this round of artillery bombardment should be no problem. So everyone is rushing to get into the Hero Association. Because of the large number of people, there is even a crowd at the entrance, and the scene is also very chaotic.

The highly respected S-class heroes were left to maintain order. Seeing Tornado's struggling condition, they knew they couldn't expect her to do more now. But Tornado had at least bought the now-unprotected human heroes time to evacuate safely. They had to retreat to the Hero Association headquarters while Tornado could still hold out. As for the alien captives, there was no time to deal with them now.

However, everyone seemed to have intentionally or unintentionally overlooked Lin Zhenxi and her mass-produced Asura Rhinoceros Beetles, and no one invited them to seek refuge together.

Perhaps in the minds of those heroes, even though the mass-produced Ashura Rhinoceros Beetles had helped humanity defeat the alien invasion force, monsters were still monsters, and they had never considered the mass-produced Ashuras to be on their side from the beginning. The same was true for Hayashi Maki; after all, she wasn't a registered hero with the Hero Association, and wasn't even from this world.

She was a time traveler from another world, and there was no essential difference between her and the aliens above her; they were all outsiders to this planet. Although Lin Zhenxi had only revealed her identity to the S-class heroes, they were the ones who were currently leading the charge.

Perhaps in their minds, with all the abilities Lin Zhenxi has demonstrated, she actually doesn't need to seek refuge at all.

Sadly, everyone is only caring about themselves now, except for Hayashi Maki, an outsider who is neither a hero nor a native of this world, who sincerely wants to help Tornado.

Lin Zhenxi looked at the heroes who rushed into the Hero Association headquarters without looking back, and then looked at Tornado who was still trying hard to persevere above her head. She couldn't help but feel that it was not worth it for her. She worked so hard, and this was the reward she got?

Never mind. This was a matter of personal opinion, and Lin Zhenxi had no right to criticize it. Let's get back to the original question: how can we help Tornado prevent these shells from hitting the ground?

The problem with Tornado now is that she has to intercept too many shells at once, and they are too heavy. She can only hold them tightly, but has no way to push them back. So, if she can reduce the number of shells, will it reduce Tornado's current pressure?

It is meaningless to release the magic wand on a single shell. There are a lot of shells in the sky. Lin Zhenxi has to connect them together first and select them as a whole so that the spell can take effect on a large number of targets at the same time.

Lin Zhenxi happened to know this kind of curse.

This is already considered a high-level spell, and it is even part of the advanced wizard exam. It was not easy for Lin Zhenxi to learn it at the time.

Assimilation spell, a linking spell, can connect different targets and then cast other spells to make them change uniformly.

"Coordination and Unification"

Lin Zhenxi was unable to cast this high-level spell silently, and even the gestures of waving the wand in his hand had to be correct in order to guide the wand to release the magic correctly.

When Lin Zhenxi cast the spell, she put her other hand into her pocket. When she took her hand out, she was holding a small bottle filled with magic essence.

This time, Lin Zhenxi had too many targets to connect to with the transformation spell, and she didn't know how much magic power would be consumed in the future, so she simply didn't use the magic power in her body, and directly used the magic essence as an external magic source to prevent her magic power from being drained instantly.

With the successful release of the spell, all the shells in the sky above Lin Zhenxi's head were labeled with a magic mark. At the same time, the small bottle in Lin Zhenxi's hand also exploded, and the broken glass shards pierced deeply into her palm, bleeding profusely. The pain made her face pale.

After all, this wasn't the correct way to use bottled magic essence. Magic essence couldn't be used directly. Like liquefied natural gas, it needed to be converted back into magic power before use. During this process, its volume would rapidly expand. If the conversion rate was too rapid, even the reinforced bottle wouldn't be able to withstand the sudden increase in pressure and would shatter.

However, the assimilation spell has marked a large area of ​​artillery shells above his head, connecting them into a whole. Lin Zhenxi's next magic will take effect on them at the same time.

The most difficult step has been successfully taken, and we can now reap the fruits of victory.

Lin Zhenxi endured the pain in his palm and waved the wand again.
