The effect of mastery spells varied wildly, and not all the mastery spells were areof-effect spells . Only high-level mastery casters such as Michaux could master such powerful spells .
On this planet, other than Wang Tong, the only other person who was capable of expanding one's elemental attribute was the young master of the Divine Mastery Sect .
It was impossible for any METAL warrior to get close to the Zerg lord due to his guards, but Michaux was not a METAL warrior .
Michaux's fingers knotted into a mastery sign that held the power of his spell, managing to lock onto the target using his soul energy without being noticed . Lie Jian continued to bombard the Zergs at the cost of huge consumption of his soul energy . Only the most aggressive attacks could attract the Zergs' attention . Luckily, the Zergs wanted to capture Lie Jian alive; therefore, he hadn't met with any life-threatening attacks so far .
"Uncle Shan, please give me a hand!" A glowing blue ice ball had already formed in Michaux's hands . Lie Shan nodded, picked up the former, and launched him into the air with his massive arms . Michaux immediately started the airborne mastery spell and flew toward the Zerg lord like a cannonball .
Jiezhe was engrossed in watching the fight with Lie Jian . When he finally registered danger, the young master was only a few dozen meters away from him . He paused, startled, then gathered himself and smiled . He felt grateful for his careful preparation while lamenting over the cunning strategies of the humans .
The Zerg race had always been the loser when it came down to one on one combat between soldiers of similar level . There were only a few breeds in the dark ones that boasted more powerful combat skill than humans . However, Jiezhe was not one of them, and neither did he want to be . Zergs' advantage was in numbers, and he preferred to stick with the old way .
Michaux was already slowing down, and in a second or so, Jiezhe's guards would surround him . However, in a split second before the guards took action, Jiezhe was totally defenseless . Michaux smiled and then unleashed in the spell .
Ice Lotus' Anguish!
The spell contained the power of the Divine Master, a level twenty-three mastery caster . Only a high-level caster such as Michaux was able to contain the power of the spell until the last moment .
The spell summoned a large ice lotus from under the ground . Everything was frozen solid within ten meters around Jiezhe .
The dark ones threw themselves at the assassin; after having exhausted his energy in the last spell, Michaux was defenseless . Right before the attack was about to land on Michaux, Lie Jian appeared above them with his fire attack, diving down toward the swarm of Zergs with abandon .
In an instant, all Zergs within Lie Jian's reach were cut down . He hovered over the body of Michaux and sheltered him from the attacks, then grasped the latter by the cloth and launched himself into the air . After two seconds, Michaux had also gathered himself . His heart still thumped in his chest; he had thought he was done for .
He didn't have time to reflect on what had happened as he started the mastery spells anew . Thousands of ice shards flew toward the pursuing Zergs . Although they were not powerful enough to kill any of the dark ones, the ice shards were effective in slowing them down .
KOM!
Lie Jian and Michaux both flew into a large building, filled with a satisfying adrenaline rush . The soldiers quickly waged a counterattack as they pushed the pursuing Zergs back . Meanwhile, the mastery casters rained death upon the Zergs that were attacking their defense .
The Zergs had lost their commander, and therefore, they were forced to halt their attack . This had given the human soldiers a precious moment to take a rest .
Michaux and Lie Jian smiled at each other knowingly . That was a close call, but it felt so damn awesome! Lie Jian was able to finish an EB unit just in time to save Michaux .
However, it wasn't long before the Zergs had chosen another dark one as their leader and started another round of attacks .
The golden dark ones guarding the Zerg lord were the most powerful dark ones of the city . Michaux's area spell was able to kill all of them in one strike .
The dark ones fought very differently from humans . They didn't need the powerful leaders to organize attacks on the spot, since they had a different method of communication . Therefore, the powerful dark ones could simply stand on the side and command the movement of their soldiers from afar . However, distance has failed to protect them from harm because their enemy was the mighty Divine Master .
The new Zerg lord was much inferior to Jiezhe in terms of mind and ability . Therefore, the Zergs' attacks were much less organized than before . Michaux and Lie Jian both realized that their best shot at escaping the encirclement had arrived . However, not everyone could make it out; some soldiers might have to pay the ultimate sacrifice so that the rest would make it out alive .
However, Lie Jian knew that Michaux would never agree to this action while knowing it would jeopardize the lives of his soldiers; therefore, he let his plan unspoken .
Lie Jian slashed his blade and killed another half a dozen Zergs . His patience was wearing thin; if Wang Tong truly had possessed those highly mobile mounts as the rumors claimed, he should be here by now .
After a while, Lie Jian retreated back to the building to rest . Seeing him return to the building, the new leader, a level C Zerg, heaved a sigh of relief . As a low-level dark one, he could barely pass the intelligence check, much less measure up to the standards of a commander . He conceded that the only thing he could do was keep these humans inside until the purple guards arrived .

He conceded that the only thing he could do was keep these humans inside until the purple guards arrived .
As for attack formations, timing, and the logistics, the new leader knew none of that . His method was simple: block the exit of the building with as many Zergs as possible and wait .
The lack of assault meant that the soldiers could finally rest in peace . Some soldiers were eating dinner quietly, and most mastery casters were already fallen asleep . The METAL warrior could endure physical exhaustion, but if the mastery casters left their soul energy depletion unchecked, they would be killing themselves slowly from the inside .
Some more powerful warriors, such as the three chief medics, were cultivating and trying to replenish their sea of consciousness . Their beautiful faces were haunted by fatigue . They had devoted their lives to the Sect and to the Divine Master, and dying on the battlefield while defending the Divine Master would be their honor .
"Are you sure Wang Tong will make it? It has been twenty hours, and I wager that the Zergs' reinforcements should already be on their way . " Lie Shan put in . As an old veteran of House Lie, he never believed in Wang Tong . In his eyes, Lie Jian's power and ability were as good as the younger generation could get .
"Yes, I am sure!" Lie Jian announced firmly . He had turned the problem over in his mind a hundred times, and each time, he reached the same conclusion: Wang Tong would arrive in time .
If they could join forces with Wang Tong, not only could they get out of here alive, but they could also deliver a death blow to the head of this operation: Moye .
Once Moye had been dealt with, the humans could wage massive counterattacks and eliminate the Zergs from Mars once and for all .
The mass production of the GN gun had lent Lie Jian confidence in humanity's ability to defeat the Zergs in the end .

'Thank the gods that Wang Tong had found Wang Tung . Are those two real brothers?' The thought amused Lie Jian as laughter escaped his lips .
Although Lie Jian was surprised by his own laughter—it seemed out of place in these reduced circumstances— it had lent confidence to his soldiers .
Nothing was more comforting than the sight of a relaxed and confident leader during the time of war .
Wang Tung sneezed; afterward, he cursed at the person whose thought of him and disturbed his work . Martians believed that the thought of somebody would make that person sneeze violently .
Wang Tung had moved his bed into the lab as his research was approaching the final stages . The first mass-produced GN gun was named after him, and the theory he proposed was named the Wang Tung Law .
By then, Wang Tung and his team had completed the research on the automatic GN crystal machine gun, and were already halfway through the design stage of the GN crystal cannon . Wang Tung's lab was not the only one that worked on it . Since the research results were all in the public domain, many other labs had joined efforts, further refining the technology . The newest subject in the field was the fusion weapon: a weapon that combined the conventional heat clip weapons with GN crystal energy guns . Wang Tong had never thought that one single breakthrough would cause so many changes in the field of science and engineering .
Thus it was, the eighth technology revolution had drawn back its curtain during the most desperate times in human history .
As the day was about to break, Lie Jian wagered that Wang Tong should be here anytime now, if he were to come at all .
A few more hours passed, and Wang Tong was still nowhere to be seen . Lie Jian wondered if he were wrong about Wang Tong . Maybe he never designed to come and save him . The sun rose slowly above the tall buildings, and the Zergs were ready to attack again .
