Mage Adam

A red Nickel-Cadmium giant roared, "Nickel-Cadmium 329 and 328, go help 337, the Metal Eaters are charging!"

After that, he melted the metal on his shoulder into a dark cannon. A huge power gathered from his body and the air around him.

With a great force that made his thirty-meter body step back, he shot it out, hitting a group of Metal Eaters far away with a bright show of light and sound.

"Got it! Be careful yourself!"

Not far from him, two twenty-meter tall white giants swung huge swords. The blades were as long as their bodies.

They cut down Metal Eaters in front of them and then jumped high, with flames shooting from their feet, rushing to another part of the battlefield. There, a giant who looked like them was about to be surrounded by Metal Eaters.

"337, get out of the way!"

After warning their friend, they spiraled up in the sky. Their bodies grew thousands of sharp blades, shining with silver light.

Their huge bodies moved with great energy, creating a silver whirlwind that rushed towards Nickel-Cadmium 337. As soon as 337 moved away, the whirlwind hit the ugly Metal Eaters in front, spraying colorful blood and breaking unknown body parts everywhere.

329 and 328 felt dizzy after stopping their spin, floating confusedly in the air for a few seconds.

Metal Eaters were strange creatures about one meter tall, some looked like insects, and others were odd shapes that couldn't be described. They all had terrible mouths and incredibly sharp teeth. They fearlessly attacked the giants, not caring about their own losses.

"Are you two idiots? Stop dazing!"

337 shouted and threw his shield like a shooting star in front of the two giants. Powered by strange energy, the shield kept spinning, cutting down monsters like a meat grinder with its sharp edges.

329 and 328 finally shook off their dizziness, grabbed the shield flying back, and said, "Let's go back to Flame 123."

This was a fierce battlefield. Many Nickel-Cadmium giants were fighting all over; these twenty-meter tall metallic beings came in different colors and shapes, mostly able to fly. Their battles felt like something out of a sci-fi story, with weapons and dark cannons extending from every part of their bodies, shooting out intense energy.Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on ɴovᴇl(ꜰ)ir(e).nᴇt

The Metal Eaters were tough opponents too, with strong energy resistance. They could work together to create mysterious shields to block attacks. They even shoot strange liquids to damage and corrode the metallic bodies of the giants.

The metal creatures had great strength, but they were far outnumbered.

Suddenly, one giant seemed to run out of energy and couldn't keep up his defense. He was quickly surrounded by swarms of Metal Eaters. Their terrifying mouths opened and closed rapidly, eating away the metal giant's outer shell and revealing its core furnace and the flames burning inside.

The sight of the flames made the Metal Eaters even crazier. They rushed to swallow the fire.

"Bronze 411!"

Two giants roared, trying to save their fellow giant at all costs.

"Don't come here!" With the last of his energy, the bronze giant spoke before the flames surged and a massive explosion followed, wiping out the Metal Eaters around him.

The two giants growled in frustration, wishing they could destroy all Metal Eaters to avenge their comrade. But they were in danger themselves. Without energy, they couldn't even self-destruct.

"Why hasn't the support from Ironburg arrived yet?" asked Flame123.

Flame 123 hit his chest, opening hundreds of cannons. After charging, he fired, killing many Metal Eaters. The attack was powerful but used a lot of energy. The light in his eyes dimmed.

"We can't last much longer. At this rate, we'll all die!"

"Support probably won't come." Flame 123 moved back near a round war vehicle at the defense's center and started feeding large energy blocks into his furnace to recharge. "This is the biggest attack by Metal Eaters in ten years. Ironburg is likely in more danger than us. Bluewater 101, we're on our own."

Bluewater 101 shook and transformed into an energy generator, spreading a blue protective field over their defense. Then he said sadly, "We were too careless. We didn't bring enough supplies. We can last at most an hour."

Flame 123 paused, because he had used the last energy block. He stood up and headed to the front line, his voice steady, as if death didn't bother him: "Hold on for thirty more minutes. If Ironburg's support doesn't arrive, we'll take the Metal Eaters with us. No matter what, the Original Flames must not be swallowed by them."

"Let the Original Flames return to nature, and hope it gives birth to new kin."

"Passing on the flames is our mission."

…

The Reincarnation Spell wrapped around Adam's soul, staying above the battlefield. The spell made Adam almost invisible, especially in the chaotic battlefield, where he went completely unnoticed.

Adam had trouble using the Reincarnation Spell. After entering the Metal Eaters, he found their way of reproducing very unusual and hard to figure out. Often, before he could solve it, the giants would kill them.

He tried to invade the giants' bodies but learned this species didn't reproduce in the usual way. The most life-related parts, the Vital Generator and the Original Flames, were protected by a mysterious force field and couldn't be invaded.

Just as he was about to leave the battlefield, a massive explosion began.

Each metal creature bravely set off their Vital Generator, letting the Original Flames burn themselves and sweep over the enemies, destroying many Metal Eaters with them.

The Original Flames didn't have heat. After the explosion, they quickly turned into pure energy and merged into the earth.

The mysterious magic from the Third Tower automatically activated to gather the fading sparks. This magical force stopped the sparks from naturally disappearing and kept them stable."
