Feng Che wanted to see the absolute pinnacle morphology of this Magnezone. Thus, he intended to let Corviknight test the true efficacy of its signature techniques.
"Magnezone, use Gear Grind!"
Countless metallic gears stacked atop one another, hurtling through the air toward Corviknight.
A combination layout combining Double Team and Gear Grind? This is indeed an exceptional setup, Feng Che analyzed internally. However, my Corviknight has already executed Autotomize; its velocity parameters are remarkably high.
The overlapping gears collided repeatedly in midair, releasing a succession of sharp clangs and venting a massive cluster of kinetic sparks. The stray embers cascaded through the atmosphere like a display of brilliant fireworks.
"This Corviknight's velocity loop is far too fast; the Klinklang lines are falling behind its movement vectors," N noted quietly. "In that case—Klinklang, discharge your Pin Missiles!"
The rigid steel bristles lining Klinklang's frame shot forward like high-velocity bullets. The metallic spikes tracing complex vectors, desperately tracking Corviknight's flight path.
Corviknight snapped its wings to whip up a series of howling tempests, the raw atmospheric pressure violently scattering the oncoming Pin Missiles in every direction. Because the physical mass of the individual spikes was exceptionally minuscule, the howling winds exerted an unyielding control over their trajectories.
"Magnezone, establish an Electric Terrain!"
Magnezone expelled an immense reservoir of electrical current from its chassis, the golden arcs branching out to saturate the absolute entirety of the arena floor. The Electric Terrain served to dynamically amplify the offensive parameters of all Electric-type techniques.
Flanking its primary hull, the companion Klinklang rotated continuously in opposing high-velocity loops, siphoning out an endless stream of electricity. The colossal current left the entire battlefield pulsing with stray arcs. Within seconds, a network of fine, golden electricity began to flicker across Corviknight's steel plumage.
N intends to saturate the entire arena with ambient electrical currents, Feng Che deduced calmly. The moment my Corviknight makes contact with the field, the residual charge will steadily accumulate until it triggers a severe paralysis status.
However, the specialized metallic coating protecting Corviknight's outer chassis is engineered to cleanly isolate and ground static charges, expelling them instantly.
"Feng Che likely has zero data regarding this anomaly," N thought, maintaining his own tactical calculations. "Though Corviknight continues to dominate the sky, the ambient electrical arcs fanning across the zone will systematically accumulate along its chassis. The moment it triggers heavy paralysis, it will be left entirely at Magnezone's mercy."
"Klinklang, use Pin Missile!"
Thousands of metallic spikes violently erupted from Klinklang's frame once more. Yet, unlike the initial exchange, these projectiles were tightly wrapped in an immense shroud of siphoned electricity, their travel velocity scaling to over twice their baseline speed.
"The enemy's execution speed is climbing. Corviknight, maintain clean evasive vectors," Feng Che commanded smoothly.
Corviknight beat its metallic wings with seamless elegance, its silhouette transforming into a high-speed streak of emerald light. Its velocity loop scaled continuously, tearing across the upper reaches.
"Magnezone, activate Gravity!"
The spatial density across the entire arena violently multiplied by a factor of ten. Yet, Corviknight remained completely fluid, navigating the heavy airspace with absolute composure.
"My Corviknight was conditioned from its youth to withstand extreme gravitational stress; it possesses the physical caliber required to pull a loaded double-decker sightseeing bus through the open sky with zero aerodynamic strain," Feng Che shared with N, his tone flat. "A ten-fold increase in spatial mass yields near-zero degradation in its performance loops."
"Is that so? If ten-fold parameters are insufficient to break your stride, let us see how your vessel handles a hundred-fold expansion."
N snapped his fingers with a sharp crack. Instantly, the localized gravitational parameters anchoring the arena spiked to an absolute hundred-fold mass.
Subjected to the crushing weight, Corviknight's lift collapsed entirely, and its vessel plummeted from the highest reaches like a kite whose string had been cleanly severed. Yet, a mere micro-second before its chassis could impact the pulverized bedrock, it beat its wings with explosive, frantic power to forcefully re-establish its flight vector.
"Klinklang, maintain the press! Use Shift Gear into Gear Grind!"
The metallic gears rotated at a manic velocity as they shot forward. Saturated under the crushing hundred-fold gravity, however, the projectile speed of the gears suffered a noticeable statistical decline.
Corviknight beat its wings to discharge a sweeping barrage of Air Cutters. The colossal wind blades collided dead-center with the rotating gears, the kinetic friction violently pulverizing dozens of gears into fine scrap metal, though the projectiles successfully canceled out several incoming wind blades. The remaining stray gears were effortlessly deflected away as Corviknight crossed its steel-plated wings to execute Steel Wing.
"Klinklang, use Discharge Gear!"
The companion units locked against Magnezone's flanks spun at an unimaginable velocity, funneling a massive reservoir of electricity into their secondary gear arrays. The twin sub-gears launched themselves forward with explosive acceleration, triggering a succession of thunderous lightning strikes across the upper atmosphere.
The projectiles transformed into twin streaks of blinding golden light, the raw kinetic displacement appearing to literally cleave and fracture the localized space along their vectors.
"Corviknight, deploy your blade feathers to throttle their velocity parameters, then conclude the exchange with Steel Wing!"
Following Feng Che's definitive order, the independent steel blades anchoring Corviknight's chassis smoothly detached from its frame. Resembling a squadron of heavy bombers, they intercepted the oncoming sub-gears with a sequence of sharp metallic clangs.
The blade feathers traded heavy blows with the projectiles, only to be violently deflected away by the volatile, raging currents wrapping the electric gears. The severed blades crashed into the earth, embedding themselves deeply within the bedrock.
However, the self-sacrificing interception successfully drained a significant fraction of the sub-gears' residual electrical charge, forcing their travel velocity to drop noticeably. Seizing the millisecond window, Corviknight delivered a crushing, downward blow with its shimmering silver Steel Wings, ruthlessly swatting the electric gears out of the sky to slam them straight into the dirt.
Magnezone remained entirely unbothered, calmly pulsing a high-frequency magnetic current to pull the sub-gears smoothly back into Klinklang's assembly.
"Magnezone, focus a Thunderbolt directly into the bedrock!"
Magnezone, seamlessly synchronizing its output with the companion Klinklang, unleashed a gargantuan pillar of electricity into the floor. The catastrophic impact shattered the earth, sending a massive screen of smoke and rock fragments erupting into the air.
Thousands of jagged boulders floated suspended across the workspace, every single stone wrapped in a thick, pulsing mantle of siphoned electricity.
"This Magnezone can actually convert environmental bedrock into polarized electrodes, systematically bringing the entire field under its telekinetic command," Feng Che analyzed, unfazed. "Superb. Corviknight, initiate your performance—re-assert your control over the Gravity field!"
As Magnezone directed the electrified boulders to launch themselves toward Corviknight like a high-velocity artillery barrage, Corviknight manipulated its localized gravitational metrics, smoothly warping the air density to skew the incoming trajectories.
Dozens of boulders missed their marks entirely, crashing ruthlessly into the floor to kick up immense clouds of dust, while others shot past the vertical vectors to detonate against the high cavern ceiling.
As the localized gravitational fields grew increasingly uneven and unstable, Magnezone's aerial levitation arrays buckled once more.
"Corviknight, use your blade feathers!"
The remaining blades tore across space like high-velocity fighter jets, shrieking straight toward Magnezone's core.
Seizing the opening, the Klinklang embedded within Magnezone's chassis rotated at a manic speed, expelling an infinite, multi-directional storm of Pin Missiles to lock down the sector. Every single metallic needle was heavily wreathed in violent electrical arcs.
The advancing blade feathers were caught mid-transit by the dense barrage, flash-pinned to the stone floor where they remained completely immobilized.
Stripped of its independent blade arrays, Corviknight had zero choice but to engage the target through direct physical parameters. Beating its wings with explosive power, it discharged a massive cluster of Air Cutters, the crescent blades weaving together to form a colossal wind column that roared straight toward Magnezone.
"Hmph. You underestimate my Magnezone far too much."
"Magnezone, use Flash Cannon into Magnet Bomb!"
Magnezone telekinetically marshaled the remaining electrified boulders, channeling an immense reservoir of current to launch them straight into the path of the oncoming tempest.
The heavy stones were rapidly pulverized into fine dust upon making contact with the razor-sharp Air Cutters, yet the sheer density of the ballistic payload caused the wind column to systematically dissolve and vanish at a visible pace.
