Chapter 398: Unbounded Strength!
Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas
As Manalasuo's ace candidate, Raslei had tried out many different mecha, but he had not tried this one before . All he knew was that it was a failed scout product . The designer's brain had been faulty . It would be completely thrashed by beast-type mecha .
Raslei hated this Lear punk . His features alone made him want to beat him up . He had a superior expression that only made that feeling stronger .
Raslei had chosen Manalasuo's beast-type scout mech – Vampiric Werewolf .
Possessing excellent movement and turning capabilities, and scary titanium blades with strong close combat abilities . This was definitely a killer from the shadows, a sniper's nightmare .
Because of Achilles' unexpected performance in the first round, the audience was filled with curiosity for this round . It was said that Lear was the biggest braggart in the Solar System, and the most stuck up . But his mech choice was amateur .
"Is Lear trying to advertise his own family? Zisu, are you familiar with this mech?" Yan Xiaosu asked .
"This has been regarded as a recent failure of the Chronos family . It's too idealistic, although the capabilities are not bad . Everything had been value-added, but nothing actually works . In practical battle, the response has been lackluster . " Ye Zisu shook her head .
If Lear was trying to use the battle as advertisement, it was definitely a high-reward move . If he won, it would immediately attract the military's attention . But this was also a high-risk move .
"Boss, the Solar System sent Manalasuo scuttling off like rabbits . So aggressive . " Rousseau laughed . He was Caragal Republic's point fighter .
Max was puzzled as well . From the first match, the pace of battle had been off . It was as though Pandora's box had just been opened, and the Solar System Federation team was just starting to get serious .
But such a way of thinking belonged only to the strongest . For a team like the Solar System, this would be baseless and arrogant .
Regardless, all would come to light after this match .
Lear and Raslei entered the elevator . The mecha had already arrived . Lear jumped into the mech with a practiced move .
The main designer of Unbounded Sky Chains had been Lear . It was the materialization of his vision . But normal people would not understand his genius . Because of this, he had become passive within his family for a spell .
A jack-of-all-trades, sitting-duck mech? After so long, there was finally an opportunity for him . He was Lear . Without a suitable stage, why would he show them?
The two mecha started their engines, and rumbled their way into the practice arena . A battle between scout mecha was undisputedly the most fast-paced . The Vampiric Werewolf faced Unbounded Sky Chains!
The battle began!
Raslei's eyes were locked on that scrawny mech with its titanium swords ill suited for cutting . That guy was sick in the mind and plagued with weaknesses .
The scrawny mech had a pitiful defense . Its best aspect was its speed, but against an agile beast-type mech, it was food .
Within the world of scout mecha, beast-type mecha were harder to master than humanoid-type mecha . But once mastered, the situational limitations were fewer . The outcome of humanoid against beast was always one-sided .
In the last match, Manalasuo had carelessly lost, and big . In this match, he had to bring morale back to the team .
The Vampiric Werewolf's engine gave a low growl . At the same time, its body rose, gathering power in its four limbs . With a deafening sound, the Vampiric Werewolf rushed its prey .
A ferocious attack, four limbs askew . Such speed left humanoid mecha in the dust . Unbounded Sky Chain unsheathed its titanium swords .
Achilles and the rest were staring at Lear . Earth was the founder of strengthening battle power, and Lear was undisputedly one of the representative characters of Earth . What was he capable of now?
Achilles had already sensed the heightening of the Heavenly King Arts, and this allowed them not to over-rely on Ability X to deliver fatal attacks to their opponents .
Did this herald the beginning of a new era?
BOOM…
The Werewolf rose in the air . Midair, its claws crackled with lightning, murderously aimed at Unbounded Sky Chains .
Ting, ting, ting, ting, ting…
Sparks flew from the contact of metal on metal . The Werewolf suddenly pounced . It turned suddenly, its four limbs delivering a frenzied attack with no weak points . The air was filled with the glints from its blades as it prepared to shred the weak Unbounded Sky Chains .
Werewolf's Mad Dance!
Forceful leaps, sudden direction changes . However, Lear's defences were flawless against such a crazy assault, his swords flashing out again and again .
Raslei put on the pressure . His opponent could not counterattack . He would claw him to death .
The consecutive frenzied claws struck out high, middle, and low . In a short span of five minutes, Raslei had executed a few hundred attacks, leaving everybody stunned . Such a frenzied assault, however, had been completely blocked by Lear .
The quantity of attacks did not matter, it was the quality .
Compared to Raslei's blistering speed, Lear's sword was slow . He looked like he was moving in slow motion, but each movement was effective, forcing his opponent into even more moves to maintain the attacking momentum .
Steady!
Only Luo Fei had nothing to say . Anybody who had seen Lear in action would have no doubts . Luo Fei had asked before, once . Why was it that the same move could be so different? Lear had answered casually . Once you had repeated each move millions of times, even a pig would understand .
From the age of three, the Chronos family had subjected Lear to harsh training . A kid wielding a huge sword, ceaselessly cutting, regardless of rain or shine . 10 times, 100 times, 1,000 times, 10,000 times…
There was no end to it . A crazy legend from a crazy family .
Either one perished in ambition or reveled in its realization .
And the peak of craziness was peace .
But who knew of the monster that lurked beneath the peaceful exterior?
Ping…
With a parry from Unbounded Sky Chains, Raslei's Werewolf was beaten away, staggering . Beast-type mecha cores were undoubtedly the most stable, but it had been carelessly beaten aside by the opponent .
From start to end, Lear had used the simplest blocks . Unbounded Sky Chains did not seek to pursue . The sword tips were lowered to the floor . Even his gaze was not directed at his opponent .
Manalasuo began to fret . What was Raslei playing at? Was this some charade? Destroy him!
But Vincent was not muttering like his comrades . He was completely focused on the Unbounded Sky Chains . A true pro had emerged .
How could the Solar System have an existence of such caliber? Only one who had trained each move relentlessly thousands of times could make such a high difficulty fight look effortless .
Although his blade was ordinary, it was packed with power . His timing was even more impeccable . Any move had its strong and weak moments, although this was most commonly exposed in all-out blows . But this Lear had even mastered those of normal attacks . But to completely focus on capitalizing on these timing windows required too much effort, and nobody could sustain it for long . Lear made it look innate .
Raslei's blood was boiling . Although not much time had passed, he was already beginning to feel fatigued, both in mind and body . This scrawny mech actually had such power . Damn!
He could not keep this up for much longer . Finish him! Finish him!
Awooo~~~
The Vampiric Werewolf howled towards the sky . With a roar of the engines, Raslei was clearly readying himself for the killing blow .
No more playing around!
The Vampiric Werewolf moved suddenly . Unbounded Sky Chains was still waiting quietly . Ground attack? Sky attack? Flanks?
The Vampiric Werewolf had apparently seized the initiative . Full speed attack!
Suddenly, the Werewolf opened its mouth, shooting lasers!
This was the advantage of beast-type mecha, capable of both long and short range attack . Raslei's accuracy was fairly high, as befitting of Manalasuo's ace . Even at such speeds, he could keep up the damage of his shots . Unbounded Sky Chains was compelled to maneuver evasively . In that instant, the Vampiric Werewolf, which had been sprinting at maximum speed, suddenly disappeared .
Zhang Shan started, his eyeballs almost popping out . … Warp!
This Raslei was also a warp ability user, and the distance was much further than what he was capable of . Crucially, he could use it even when moving at high speeds . He was clear that for himself to use the ability, he needed a fairly stable state .
This opponent was clearly a cut above him .
The vanished Vampiric Werewolf suddenly appeared in front of Unbounded Sky Chains . The titanium blades had completely captured Unbounded Sky Chains . The lasers had been interference, while this was the real killing move, definitely unfailable!
The frenzied claw blades raked downwards, delivering a death blow . Nobody could dodge such an attack!
Whoosh…
At this moment, something strange happened . The claws raked nothing but air, and Unbounded Sky Chains actually vanished!
Could Lear teleport as well?
Could it be superspeed ability?
Unbelievable speed . This was really going crazy . Could Lear actually be a speed-type Ability X user?
They could only see the outline of a mech . In the next instant, Unbounded Sky Chains reappeared, still at its original position .
The Vampiric Werewolf had stopped .
Clang clang clang…
The Vampiric Werewolf had collapsed . It had definitely collapsed . Its head and four limbs had been neatly dissected . Only the middle part was left rolling on the floor .
The entire arena was silent . What exactly had happened in that instant?
On the huge projector screen above, the instant replayed . In the instant that the Vampiric Werewolf had displaced behind Unbounded Sky Chains, Unbounded Sky Chains had displaced as well, a frightening sideways lurch . This was just the beginning . It closely followed with a 90 degree diagonal movement, at the same time cutting out with the titanium swords . And another shift, and another cut, and another shift…
Under slow motion, the moves looked ordinary, but once reverted to normal speed, it was nothing but a blur .
Movement, control, timing, an intricately composed symphony . This… was not Ability X!
The arena was quiet . What training did it take to raise such a monster?
Wang Zheng quietly watched the technique, then suddenly laughed . To reach this level, one needed to crawl out of hell a few times . He had personally experienced this before . He had counted himself alone in this, but now he saw that there were others who had been through the same thing .
Perhaps one day he would have a real match with Lear . That would be interesting .
Lear clearly knew his opponent had the ability to warp, even though Raslei had not used it before . But Lear had his own sources of intelligence, and did not need the military .
Round 2, Solar System Federation team WIN!
"Is this going to be an upset?"
"Manalasuo down 2-0…"
"You've got to be kidding . Did you get it wrong?"
"I thought so too, but apparently not . Our people conveyed the results . The Solar System Federation team is turning the tables!"
