When the sword fey condensed into a sword formation and struck the chest plate of the nunser phase lord, many humans and aliens paid attention whether this attack could penetrate through the armor.
The raiment worn by the Fifth Lord of Bis'qet may not be as advanced and complete as the raiment worn by the Protector of Karnak, but it still offered a good deal of defense against superdimensional weapons.
Most importantly, the nunser greater phase lord's raiment boasted the greatest thickness at the front. The armor layers were thicker and more numerous as that was the side that the Fifth Lord most often expected to receive attacks.
Right now, a silent collision occurred as the sword fey concentrated all of its power into the leading Prime Sword Fey!
Although it was made out of mid-grade superdimensional alloy like the other sword fey, it not only bore the willpower amplification and metal energy empowerment of Saint Dise, but also served as the tip of the spear of the entire sword formation!
Upon the moment of collision, sparks, spatial disruptions and other energy fluctuations erupted from the point of impact!
It became extremely difficult for anyone to get a clear look at what had happened!
Only an instant passed before the other remaining sword fey continued to surge forward and collide against the raiment.
While the effect of the Prime Sword Fey remained unclear, it was still possible to quickly determine the effect of the ordinary sword fey.
"Failed to penetrate!"
This was a disappointing but expected result. While they retained their willpower and metal energy empowerment, the sword formation had lost effect as soon as it had crumbled.
In fact, this was also a sign that the sword formation clearly wasn't powerful enough to drill straight through the armor and body of the Fifth Lord of Bis'qet.
Now, the real question became how deep the Prime Sword Fey managed to punch through the armor.
As the disturbances slowly cleared up, many sensor systems were able to observe the actual results.
"The tip… partially sunk into the armor!"
"The leading sword spur has penetrated through at least three armor layers! The other sword fey have only managed to produce shallow cuts in a single armor layer."
This did not sound impressive, but those who understood the circumstances better all grew incredibly impressed!
"A junior ace mech with access to hull-grade superdimensional weapons is already able to damage the layers of the Fifth Lord's Saint Blocker raiment!"
According to the analysis of the Red Three, the superdimensional alloy used in the making of the so-called Saint Blocker raiments roughly performed better than mid-grade superdimensional alloy but was a little short of matching high-grade superdimensional alloy.
Plenty of human material scientists and metallurgists speculate that the native aliens actually had a way of producing or harvesting hull-grade superdimensional matter.
They then relied on special methods and complementary resources to produce superior superdimensional alloys.
In other words, the Red Cabal probably relied on superior metallurgical attainments or some sort of profound ancient heritage to surpass red humanity in this field!
This strengthened the theory that the phase whales likely produced their own superdimensional matter rather than mining it from the Blue Dimension.
Regardless, the naked penetration power of the sword fey shouldn't be strong enough to pierce through the first layer of the Saint Blocker under ordinary circumstances.
It was only through the application of overwhelming brute force or more exotic forms of amplification that Saint Dise was able to produce such a result.
The latter was apparently strong enough to surpass the inherent material shortcomings of the sword fey!
Both Jovy and Vector exchanged glances as they witnessed all of this happening from a control room in the Tarrasque.
"It appears that you have lost the bet." Jovy directly stated.
"Right." Vector directly conceded.
At this time, the First Sword Mark III had just completed her first attack run and had already circled around by this time.
Her sword fey did not return to her side.
It was a bit troublesome to recall the sword fey now that they had penetrated the Fifth Lord's spatial barrier with so much effort.
Besides, why call them back when they could continue to attack the greater phase lord?
Under the command of their ace pilot, the intelligent sword fey dispersed and began to stab at the greater phase lord's body from all sides.
The sword fey failed to inflict much damage this time. They dispersed too much and did not leverage the power of sword formations.
They also could not build up any momentum to add more power to their attacks.
Even so, the Fifth Lord of Bis'qet could not afford to ignore the harassment!
His raiment may have been designed and molded to fit his quadruped body at its current scale, but it did not cover every part of his body!
To be more specific, parts of hid underside and many of the joint areas were still exposed, making it easier for the sword fey to pierce his flesh directly if they managed to land a strike!
Even if the sword fey were not able to strike with enough force to sink down to the hilt, the shallow stab and slash wounds already generated a considerable amount of distress!
"$#&%@!"
"BEGONE!"
The Fifth Lord tried to swat the sword fey away. While he managed to batter them to the side by whacking the closest ones with his Saint Piercer arm, the sword fey quickly recovered and immediately resumed their autonomous attacks!
Even if he was able to block and push the sword fey within his reach aside, that left the other floating blades free to attack the greater phase lord's body from other angles!
Although the Fifth Lord had a growing urge to rotate his body and batter aside the other sword fey, he did not dare to face away from the source of his misery.
At this time, the First Sword Mark III was charging forward to launch another attack run!
The greater phase lord could only endure the multitude of weak attacks, trusting in his Saint Blocker raiment to prevent the silly blades from targeting his vitals.
He knew that as long as he destroyed or repelled the ace mech, the sword fey would automatically cease to pose a threat.
The nunser phase lord quickly restored his previous stance and became determined to impale the incoming ace mech this time.
He had a better measure of his adversary at this time. The First Sword Mark III had already exposed her speed and maneuverability. Now that he possessed this information, the experienced martial phase lord became a little more confident in his ability to intercept his adversary at this time.
