The experienced and motivated mercenary mech pilots all commanded their machines to split up and engage in independent movements.
At the same time, the mechs all aimed their rifles at the Fey Fiannas and opened fire while on the move!
The 3 Fey Fiannas did not remain still.
From the moment this match had begun, the Fey Fianna split up and covered themselves in energy shields produced by their only defensive fey!
The shields immediately took damage, but just like before, fire laser beams failed to display their full damage potential against water-attributed energy shields.
"Those energy shields look a lot differently."
"What are those projections?"
"These energy shields are much better at resisting damage than the one we have seen before!"
Even though the Fey Fiannas in the field were identical to the one piloted by Commander Powell, their actual performance deviated quite a lot!
The main cause of this was that the mech pilots and the living mechs were able to utilize E energy to amplify the performance of their energy shields a lot better!
As the Fey Fiannas tried to block the incoming damage as best as possible, the mechs stuck close to their energy shield fey and actually combined forces with each other!
It was difficult for a single fey to attract a lot of water-attributed E energy from the environment. This was why the main body also pitched in. Their defenses all happened to be based on water energy as well, so they could easily work together with a fey of the same attribute!
That was not all. The dominant spirits and the subordinate spirits were all a few weeks old. They had become a lot more proficient on how to manipulate E energy to produce specific outcomes.
The mech pilots also spent weeks of time cooperating with their living mechs. The power of a cooperating human contributed a lot.
The most visible consequence of all of the improvements was that the energy shield fey utilized more advanced and effective methods to strengthen their defenses!
The energy shield fey consciously formed their own artistic conceptions and cultivated them with the hopes of fulfilling their roles a lot better!
Every subordinate spirit was free to cultivate whichever way it liked. Neither Ves nor anyone else had imposed any restrictions on them. Their existence was so new that no optimal methods and solutions had emerged.
One of the energy shield fey visualized a hurricane. This was a step up from a whirlpool. Not only did it create a much larger and more three-dimensional energy manifestation, but it was also a lot better at dispersing the energy of all incoming attacks!
This happened to be especially effective against energy beam attacks!
Much of their potency came from the fact that they were able to concentrate their power.
The impressive miniature hurricane that formed over the energy shield could not do much to neutralize the power of the incoming beam, but scattered it to a small extent.
That might not sound like much, but it was enough to reduce the strain on an energy shield by a significant margin.
The fey only had weeks of time to form and strengthen its artistic conception, but the fact that it was able to do this much was shocking to a hidden group of observers!
Those who enjoyed sufficient access to the legacy of ancient cultivators saw that the defensive fey delivered a performance that exceeded the current boundaries of hyper technology!
They effectively gained the power of a qi cultivator and utilized it in an effective way!
This was a sight that could not produced by any other hyper mech released up to this date!
