Chapter 281 - Chapter 280: Nian's Strength

Upon reaching the deck, Kanna nodded to Rosmontis, who then walked towards the edge of the bridge not far away.

Nian did not rush to speak. She was quite curious, as Kanna's weapon had already given her enough surprises. She wondered what kind of weapon this girl named Rosmontis possessed.

But judging by her actions, Nian guessed that her weapon must be quite large, otherwise, it wouldn't be specially placed outside the mobile fortress.

Upon reaching the edge, Rosmontis extended her hand and slightly raised it, and seven several-meter-long objects that looked more like large manned kinetic pods than greatswords rose from the ground.

Even without considering the sharpness of the weapons, just by their visual size, any enemy hit by these behemoths would likely be reduced to enemy paste.

Precisely because of the massive size of the equipment, although they had the appearance of swords, they were not actually sharpened. It should be said that such large items relied solely on overwhelming force, and their attack methods were very crude, making them unsuitable for overly refined craftsmanship.

"Oh! What a massive size!" Looking at the weapons slowly settling on the ground, Nian reached out and patted one, discovering that it was not hollow. Combined with the material, this meant that this seemingly delicate young girl was fighting by swinging tens of tons of weight.

"How is it?" Kanna walked to Nian's side and asked.

"Let me witness your battle!" Nian did not directly comment but pointed to the open space not far away, indicating that Kanna and Rosmontis should show her their combat style using their weapons.

Kanna picked up her greatsword and jumped onto the open ground. The next second, the giant swords that had been suspended in mid-air sliced through space like leaves blown by the wind, surrounding Kanna from all directions, leaving no escape.

"Hey, hey, hey! Kanna and Rosmontis are having a match down there, come and watch!" The Operators on the Lookout Tower above had long seen Kanna and the others come out. After Rosmontis "took out" her weapon, they started guessing if there would be a match. Sure enough, when they saw Kanna jump into the open space with her weapon, everyone got excited.

After all, as a sparring partner, Rosmontis could be said to be the most suitable for Kanna. Her large-scale and exaggerated fighting style, combined with Kanna's agile movements, was quite a sight to behold.

The battle was as usual; those seemingly exaggerated and heavy greatswords were wielded by Rosmontis's Originium Arts as if they were extensions of her arms. They didn't look like greatswords weighing several tons at all, but merely wooden sticks—light and flexible.

Only Kanna, with her strength and speed far exceeding the norm, could move with ease amidst the giant swords flying like a meat grinder. If other Operators were to enter, even ACE, who specialized in defense, would have to surrender if surrounded by these greatswords.

Ten minutes later, Nian clapped her hands, attracting the attention of both: "Alright, I've collected enough data on you two, let's stop for a moment!"

Hearing Nian's words, Kanna and Rosmontis simultaneously retracted their weapons.

Kanna twisted her body. She and Rosmontis had played this "game" many times. For her, it was just a warm-up.

Moreover, she had been constantly watching Rosmontis, controlling the intensity of their battle so that Rosmontis wouldn't use spells beyond her limits due to overly intense combat, which might affect her body.

When Kanna walked over, Nian glanced at her, seeing not even a drop of sweat on her forehead, knowing that she was just playing around.

"You wait a minute, speaking of which, I haven't moved around in a long time either, let me try!" Just as Rosmontis was about to walk over, Nian pointed at her, then pointed at the spot where Kanna and she had just sparred, and then walked over.

Seeing Nian stand firm in the spot where Kanna had been, Rosmontis turned to look at Kanna.

"Go all out, her strength is no less than mine!" Kanna, on the other hand, wanted to see Nian's strength.

Although in the game, Nian, as a heavy defender, was basically a blocking +1 utility character, as a fragment of Yan's deity, her true strength would definitely not be lower than Kanna, who had learned a half-baked lightning spell from the system.

"Hey, hey, hey! Who is that? Is she going to spar with Rosmontis! Why isn't Kanna stopping her? Someone's going to die!"

As the change of participants was happening below, the Operators above, who were enjoying the match, all widened their eyes.

It wasn't that no Operators wanted to get involved in Kanna and Rosmontis's matches, or rather, their play, but the outcome was that the Medical Department got to enjoy some unpaid overtime.

Later, people understood that this kind of play was not something normal people could participate in.

Even Logos, known as Rhodes Island's top show-off, shook his head after witnessing it once, stating that this game was not for normal people.

Now, an unfamiliar girl (Operator?) was actively participating in Kanna and Rosmontis's match, and crucially, Kanna wasn't even stopping her.

They immediately relayed this news to the Control Room.

However, the reply from Kaltsit in the Control Room was even stranger: "Point all cameras that can aim at the battle location there, and be sure to record the entire battle process."

"Hiss! Doctor Kaltsit thinks that girl has strength no less than Kanna's?" As an elite reconnaissance Operator of Rhodes Island, he would not question Kaltsit's decision, but he was even more surprised by it. He didn't expect Rhodes Island to have another "monster" like Kanna, who was completely disconnected from normal combat power.

Under everyone's gaze, the deck welcomed the second match.

As soon as the battle began, everyone noticed the difference between Nian and Kanna.

If Kanna relied on her superb physical fitness and the high-speed displacement ability brought by Star Shift to entangle Rosmontis's greatswords, then Nian was truly a head-on confrontation.

When Rosmontis's greatsword approached Nian, an invisible but actual defensive circle would spread out, blocking Rosmontis's greatsword outside.

"What!" Feeling the resistance transmitted back from the greatsword, Rosmontis, who had been somewhat cautious, couldn't help but open her eyes.

So far, besides Kanna, Nian could be said to be the first person to block her attack in a frontal confrontation.

After being blocked the first time, Rosmontis still didn't believe it. With a stretch of her hand, the greatsword crashed into Nian's position at an even faster speed.

"Good!" Looking at the incoming greatsword, Nian crossed her arms over her chest, facing it fearlessly.

"Dong! Dong! Dong!..." Accompanied by several dull thuds, the greatsword stopped again a meter away from Nian under everyone's gaze.
