Chapter 224

Adam did not choose to charge head-on. Instead, he changed his direction slightly and rushed out of the ground a few kilometers away from where the Metal Devourers were intercepting him.

There was no need for any communication between natural enemies. There was only a fight to the death.

The Metal Devourers immediately turned around and flew toward Adam in a cone-shaped formation with a defensive field.

They were all extraordinary creatures, but their individual strength was much weaker than Adam's. They were even weaker than a Level 6 Anti-Mage. However, they knew how to gather their strength. Although there were more than a hundred of them, they moved and attacked as if they were a single creature.

They spat out a colorless and odorless liquid far away from Adam. The feedback from the electromagnetic field clearly told Adam that the liquid did not have any energy, but when it left the Metal Devourers' bodies, the mysterious defensive field sped up the liquid's flying speed and cohesion, making the liquid shoot toward him like a Level 6 Magic Storm.

Adam stretched out his arms in front of his chest. The tinder in the power furnace began to release energy. The complicated lines on his body lit up, and the energy was transmitted to his hands. An electromagnetic field appeared in front of him, canceling out the mysterious energy on the liquid and suspending it in the air.

This was truly an inclusive world. The appearance of the power of electricity and magnetism did not attract any attention. Other than the fact that magic and runes could not be used and energy could only be mobilized through the energy circuit, the manifestation was not much different from the World of Mages.

However, it could also be because of the Metal Race. After all, metal was closely related to electricity and magnetism. Perhaps there were creatures in this world that had mastered similar abilities.

Regardless, this provided Adam with a great guarantee of his ability to protect himself when he was born.

The electromagnetic field worked in the opposite direction, and the liquid flew back. The Metal Devourers continued forward without hesitation, opening their mouths wide in an attempt to swallow the liquid back into their bodies.

"No intelligence?" Adam thought to himself, puzzled.

When the liquid was suspended in the air, it was heavily compressed and obtained a mass far greater than before. In the process of rebounding, the strong magnetic field gave the liquid a huge amount of kinetic energy. The liquid was now far more terrifying than before, like a bullet. Adam did not believe that these extraordinary creatures could not see such an obvious change. If they dared to take it head-on, unless they were very confident in their physical strength, they must have no intelligence.

Bang bang bang bang!

The liquid entered their mouths and hit their bodies, making muffled sounds. They could clearly see the internal changes in their bodies, and their forward momentum suddenly stopped for a moment.

"Looks like he's wise but overconfident."

The liquid that hit his body bounced off in all directions, silently corroding holes in the ground. Adam silently covered his entire body with an electromagnetic shield. It seemed that the liquid was an ability that the Metal Eaters had evolved to fight against metal creatures. It would not feel good if he was hit.

The Gold Devouring Race's troops were a little disorderly. They didn't expect to encounter such a counterattack, but after discovering that none of their kind had died, they continued to fly over.

The formation changed from a cone to a fan. The leader in the middle that looked like a giant insect changed its color as if it was the generator and amplifier of the force field. As a result, the mysterious force field was greatly strengthened to the point of materialization. Small vortexes formed by energy on the cross section shot out a dense rain of liquid after accumulating energy for microseconds.

"Their attack method is very simple. Is it because their level is too low?"

Adam did not intend to take it head-on. The fire seed energy surged to his lower body, and the soles of his feet opened. Flames spurted out, propelling Adam's body into the air. He narrowly avoided the attack.

The liquid rain suddenly stopped and immediately changed direction to continue chasing Adam. A second later, the Gold Devouring Race arrived. More vortexes appeared on the cross section of the force field.

Metallic silver had excellent ductility, and Mithril was even better in this aspect. Adam changed its appearance in midair, and its entire body became flat. Numerous gun muzzles appeared on its body, and in an instant, it was charged with energy. Following that, it shot out compressed fireballs that covered the sky and earth.

Water and fire collided, and the elements mutually annihilated each other, creating a mist that blocked the vision. Although it was powerful, the Gold Devouring Race did not suffer any damage.

"The energy defense is amazing."

Adam changed shape again. His entire body became a thick-backed broadsword. He activated the electromagnetic conversion magic array with all his strength. Highly condensed electricity circulated around his body, and he shot out like a bullet from an electromagnetic cannon. The kinetic energy of his body that weighed dozens of tons was very terrifying. He easily split the fan-shaped Gold Devouring Race in two, and then stopped before they smashed into the ground.

Only then did continuous sonic booms and muffled sounds of flesh and blood falling to the ground, as well as the slight sound of corrosive liquid melting through minerals.

"Their defense against physical attacks is not very good."

Adam's body was also damaged. The direct contact with the force field and the blood of the Gold Devouring Race had corroded many parts of his body and made them disappear. However, this level of injury was nothing to the metal lifeform. As long as the power furnace did not break and the Origin Flame did not extinguish, it could quickly repair itself.

However, the 655-odd Gold Devouring Race had suffered heavy losses. Adam's electromagnetic blade had killed one-third of them. The leader that had lost half of its body roared angrily. The remaining Gold Devouring Race members got into formation again, and the force field reformed. They then charged at Adam with even more ferocity.

He realized the Gold Devouring Race used infrasound to communicate. The energy of these sound waves was very low and could only express the simplest of meanings. From this, he could deduce that these Gold Devouring Race members were not very intelligent.

At this point, Adam had achieved all the effects of this group of natural enemies. Although he wanted to know what would happen if he was bitten, he had no intention of testing himself. He figured these things would not be a secret. Based on the "personality" displayed by the Origin Flame, he believed the metal lifeforms would not be a difficult race to get along with. It should not be difficult for them to learn about common sense.

The energy circuit modified from the magic array placed a lot of emphasis on the effective use of energy. After a few attacks, Adam's Pyro Seed did not consume too much energy. The remaining energy was enough for Adam to kill these Gold Devouring Race members.

Iron Castle was one of the important border cities of the Pyro Federation. The vast area west of Iron Castle was a fallen area where the archenemy of the Titans, the Gold Devouring Race, lived.

The Titans were what the metal lifeforms called themselves. It was also the name of this dimension.

The war between the two races a hundred years ago had caused half of the population to die. Although there were not many large-scale wars in the past 655 years, local conflicts were happening all the time. This time, the war was only slightly larger in scale, and there were more casualties. The Titans were already used to it.
