After discovering her attack was blocked, Rosmontis increased her strength again. The dust stirred up from the ground showed that this was only a hair's breadth away from Rosmontis fighting for real on the battlefield.
But even so, Nian's feet remained firmly planted on the ground.
Kanna's eyes lit up when she saw Nian's move, and she instantly jumped to the side.
"Can you apply that to others?"
"Of course, no problem!" Nian nodded, then waved her hand, and Kanna instantly felt a circle of mysterious energy surrounding her.
Upon closer inspection, it was tiny iron fragments, like dust.
These iron fragments, under the magical blessing of Nian, were extremely hard and as flexible as if they had a will of their own. When attacked, these dust particles would gather together, forming a larger defensive surface to block external attacks.
After several consecutive attacks failed to break through Nian's defense, Rosmontis did not continue her offense but retracted her weapon.
Kanna patted Nian's waist, "Awesome skill! I have a suggestion: next time you use this spell, how about saying 'As firm as a rock' or 'All-encompassing'..."
..."What's the point?"
"It's cool! Think about it, when you encounter danger, you stand in front and coldly say 'As firm as a rock,' and then all attacks are blocked outside. Doesn't that feel super cool!!!"
Kanna explained the scene to Nian, and Nian's eyes lit up after hearing it. "Great idea! I have a visual in my mind, this scene is good, I have to record it, it will definitely be useful next time I shoot a movie. I say, Kanna, your little head is quite flexible, why don't you be my assistant director? Then the movies we shoot will sell big on Terra, and we'll have countless small fortunes, and then we can go wherever we want!"
"Forget it, I'm not Mundo, I don't have that hobby... But I am quite curious about making movies, I can participate!"
The movies Nian made... it's hard to say, anyway, no one could keep up with her wild ideas except herself.
It's better to learn some blacksmithing skills than to follow Nian to make a fortune.
While the two were chatting enthusiastically, Rosmontis had already retracted her weapon. (Month, fee group 6949, 36135)
Seeing Rosmontis walk over, Nian emerged from her "independent film."
"I've pretty much understood your combat styles. First, Kanna's weapon, in terms of craftsmanship and materials, is undoubtedly top-notch, but I guess you don't use it often! After all, this thing is not easy to carry, and it's not very suitable for confined spaces and small enemies. Hmm, I guess you need a weapon for fighting large enemies..."
Nian pointed at the exaggerated design of Kanna's weapon and said.
Kanna thought back and realized Nian was right. As for whether this weapon was strong, as equipment carefully crafted by Sister Vulcan, it was definitely strong. But as for its compatibility with her... she would only think of using a weapon when facing large enemies. For ordinary combat, fists and lightning were more than enough. Using a weapon would actually reduce combat efficiency by forcing her to change her fighting habits to accommodate the weapon.
"So the direction your equipment needs to improve is portability and versatility. I pretty much have a preliminary idea, but before that, I need to talk to the craftsman of your weapon, that would be Sister Vulcan, right!"
Nian reached out and took Kanna's weapon, carrying it on her shoulder like that.
This surprised everyone who saw it again.
It should be known that Kanna's weapon was much heavier than it looked. There were only a handful of people within Rhodes Island who could lift this weapon with one hand using only physical strength.
And someone who could lift it with such ease as Nian was only the weapon's user, Kanna herself.
"As for Rosmontis, your weapon is only a part of your strength. Currently, it seems you haven't fully utilized it. The quality of this weapon is already completely sufficient for your combat, so besides making it more durable, there's not much I can do."
"Little Knives, want to spar?" While Nian was contemplating how to modify the weapons, Kanna said to Cerberus next to her.
Hearing Kanna's words, Cerberus, who was already excited by the previous battle, immediately jumped into the middle.
"Here I come!" Cerberus brandished her "weapon" and charged towards Kanna.
However, the weapon in her hand was not her most proficient primary weapon, but a long-handled hammer that, according to Kanna's description, she begged Sister Vulcan to forge for her. The hammerhead was hexagonal, like a miniature hexagonal pavilion. Of course, anyone who recognized it would immediately see that it looked no different from a street lamp.
She hadn't realized it before, but ever since she used this hammer to daze opponents during an external mission with Sister Vulcan, Cerberus had fallen in love with it.
Although this 'new' weapon was a bit shy and didn't speak much, it didn't prevent it from becoming Cerberus's fourth favorite weapon, which she called the 'Loud Hammer'.
Of course, only those who had been hit by it would know where it was loudest.
On the field, Kanna, with her small fists, continuously moved around Cerberus, relying on her speed, while Cerberus fully utilized the 'one inch longer, one inch stronger' combat style, wielding the 'Loud Hammer' with impressive force.
Twenty minutes later, Cerberus plopped down on the ground, "No more, no more, my head is spinning, and I'm so hungry!!!"
Those twenty minutes had completely exhausted Little Knives. Since joining Rhodes Island, she had rarely experienced such high-intensity combat. This sparring match with Kanna could be said to have left her both satisfied and fatigued. Coupled with Kanna's constant circling to find an opening, Cerberus now felt her vision blurring, and everything seemed hazy.
After Little Knives sat down, Kanna also stopped attacking. She then went to Little Knives's side and supported her somewhat wobbly head.
Once Kanna supported her, Little Knives, utilizing her ability to do as she pleased, closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep within three seconds, much to Kanna's astonishment.
"I'll carry her! Speaking of which, I'm a bit hungry after this outing. Let's go get something to eat." Nian took Cerberus, who was sleeping peacefully and almost drooling, from Kanna's hands.
After Kanna and her group left, several Operators came to inspect the place where they had'sparred'. There were many scratches on the thick deck, 70% of which were Rosmontis's work, and the remaining 30% were Cerberus's achievements. The result was that Kanna and Nian, the two strongest and presumably most destructive, caused almost no damage to the deck during their match.
"Just who is this Nian anyway..."
