The ability of this Guardsman was simple, yet it possessed astonishing utility.
A normal application of this Incarnation creates a defensive perimeter around the user that could cover a range of fifty meters, it could perfectly defend against attack of the same grade with an added function of absorbing the energies from the attack and buffing the defense with up to four times its defensive strength.
Also, the smaller the range of the perimeter shielded, the higher its defense up to double its defensive properties. Suriel also understood that destroying the Incarnation would lead to a drastically enhanced defensive power but for a brief period of time, and he only needed a few seconds to complete the energy transfer, it should buy him enough time.
His armored body flashed a dull blue, about to release the Incarnation, he detonated all the flames he had buried all over the ship.
The blast went out in a concentric wave that was brutal in its sheer efficiency and control, as calling it a blast would be a mistake, it should be called a Precise Coordinated Explosion, PCE! Because the flames did not mushroom out but were directed like a scalpel, as all the force and heat from the blast was siphoned in a single line using the metallic ability of the Guardsman.
The flames sliced through the Battleship like lasers tearing hundreds of holes through it, the arrangement of the traps he set behind made the explosion trigger in a grid like pattern, and the Battleship that was ten thousand feet long was sliced apart into chunks, before the fuel compartment in the engine room exploded and for a single second, the Ship was consumed by flames as hot as the sun.
The lasers only missed a single position on the ship, which was his quarters, and then he created the shielding over it using his Incarnation.
The explosion brightened that corner of space for the next five seconds, alerting the other Empire Battleships, and Dominators began to scramble from the ships towards the commotion as everyone instantly entered a state of battle. freēwebnovel.com
The detonation was not powerful enough to kill any of the Dominators present in the ship but it would disorient them, reducing their response time, thereby giving him every valuable second.
It worked.
For the entire fifteen seconds needed for the transfer, he was not disturbed and as the orb lit up, he moved his essence into it and with a bright flash of light it vanished, taking Suriel's essence and the item with it.
Eighteen seconds later, the cube containing the Volgim Guardsman was found shining with a bluish color. It was a testament to the defensive strength of the Volgim Guardsman Incarnation that it took fifty Second Circle Dominators to tear through the cube, but the only thing left was the partially melted armor of the Guardsman.
Suriel had used every single energy and essence in his body and Territory to activate the teleportation device, and there was nothing left behind but scraps.
