Su Mu, who saw the energy shield, fired several consecutive shots to destroy it.
However, the shield absorbed all the bullet impacts, protecting her.
It is important to note that a Gauss rifle uses electromagnetic coils to accelerate a ferromagnetic projectile to high speeds, achieving speeds significantly higher than traditional bullets, often exceeding 2,000 m/s, still it didn't do any damage to the energy shield.
While the old woman's attention was on Su Mu, Mai dashed toward Sid and Liam.
The old woman, noticing Mai's attempt to rescue them, became enraged.
Disregarding Su Mu's attacks, she turned her anger towards Mai, launching the same needle-like projectiles she had used on Sid and Liam in an effort to capture Mai as well.
As the old woman launched her needle-like projectiles toward Mai, her movements were precise and calculated, thanks to her mechanical eye.
