Chapter 410: Chain of Explosions
Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas
Lya Sphinx was in despair. At the very least they would not be able to decipher how this energy absorption ability of the Mayans worked. For the second and third rounds, they were defeated despite their best abilities. The long-distance combat abilities of the Mayans was not just idle boasting. However, so far, besides the unique characteristic of their mech, they did not show much in terms of technique.
But this did not mean that there was none, rather it was because Lya Sphinx simply did not make the Mayans to exert their full strength at all!
The Mayans were very indifferent. In the fourth round, Lya Sphinx had already reached a desperate state. Their leader, Biel, came up. As a veteran, powerful country, they could not accept such humiliation. No matter what, he would want to win this round. They had already discussed that there were no other ways, and they could only try to charge to the front of the Mayan as fast as possible, as a close combat was their only chance.
Biel chose the assassin-type mech of Lya Sphinx, Floating Shadow Type V. Originally, Biel was good at warrior-type mech, but evidently, in this type of battle, the mobility of warrior-type mech would be inadequate, he was just going to put his all into the fight!
For the Mayan side, their team leader, Verus, also finally appeared. This was a Mayan who was slightly tall. His skin was spotlessly white with the the glow of the color of precious jade. It was lustrous and sparkling, which showed that his life force was extremely strong and blooming, as when the life of a Mayan came to an end, the glow would completely dim down.
It could be seen that in the Maya’s team, they respected their team leader a lot with the expressions on their faces when he went up. Usually, the Mayans did not show much expressions and thus these expressions were even more rare to see. Verus himself did not express any feeling about his opponent, and chose his own mech.
The name that the Mayans gave it was the Heavenly Crystal King!
The two mecha appeared in the arena. Having advanced to this stage of the battle, the people of Lya Sphinx already had no way out. At the instant, when the referee sounded the gunshot, Biel dashed out with his full strength.
The tactics were clear. Biel was a player who had electric attributes for his Ability X. The forward motion of his mech showcased his unique skill, Electric Polygonal Steps. This was a move which utilized quick and erratic movements to confuse the opponents. Regardless of long-distance attacks or close combat, it was effective at dodging all of it. It was a super trump card.
However, the team leader of Maya was quiet and motionless; he had no intention to launch a long-distance suppression at all!
Could it be that the Mayans had even resolved their weakness in close combat?
Everyone had this question, but Biel had no time to take all that into consideration. The tyrannical Electric Polygonal steps enabled his Floating Shadow Type V to look like a flash of lightning, so it was very difficult to grasp the trajectory of his attacks or movement.
The beam saber was unsheathed, it was a full-blown attack!
When a person is confronted with the specter of death, he would fight to live!
……
Following a loud roar, the distance between Biel and his bright opponent was down to just five meters. At this moment, Verus’ Heavenly Crystal King extended his hand and gave a light push.
A ripple appeared…
A lattice of light appeared in between the two mecha. There was no time at all for Biel to respond before the mech passed through the light screen.
….
To be more exact, it was broken up into countless small pieces.
Exterminated!
After many years of silence, the Mayans had finally made skillful moves. Far or near, it was unfathomable in all ranges!
Or so to say, including the people of Atlantis, Maya, Ghana, etc. The civilizations of all these species who were similar to mankind had started to rise up, it was just by chance that they all chose this same opportunity without prior consultation.
The year was totally not being ruled by mankind, it was ruled by all other races. Even if it was Aslan and Arbiter, they were also not likely to have much of an advantage against such opponents.
The Mayans won victoriously and advanced into the quarterfinals, while the Lya Sphinx’s team was defeated badly with a score of 0-4.
For this battle, Lya Sphinx had two deaths and two serious injuries. They were beaten till they were not able to retaliate at all. The faces of Lya Sphinx’s generals were as white as paper as this was an extreme tragedy to them.
For the IG, it not only tested the strength of the new generation or the performance of mecha. But more importantly, it was to seize the opportunity to strike a blow on your opponent, and to demonstrate your military force, in order to strive for greater power and status within the Milky Way Alliance.
After several ups and downs, this was the current Milky Way Alliance. And for those countries who had been defeated during the IG, they would still more or less be affected.
Lya Sphinx had been on a slight decline in recent years. It was unlikely that their opponents would let them off easily with this defeat.
In the afternoon, the Aslan Empire’s team was against the Immortal Barbarian Star’s team. This game was no suspense at all, it was for sure that Aslan would win 4-0, the question was just that how were they going to win.
The opponent from before had demonstrated their military force in another match. So Aslan would demonstrate their might for sure.
However, no one would have thought that the first one to make his appearance would be Sword Magician Oz, who was part of the Twin Gemini of the Aslan’s Empire.
Even though Oz did appear earlier, he seemed extra carefree, and he won easily. At this moment, him appearing as the first player was probably going to wreck the momentum.
On the Immortal Barbarian Star’s side, after their discussion, they finally made their prudent choice of sending Ella.
It was not a conflicting pair; everyone knew the importance of the first round. Once the opponent’s momentum had been halted, anything would be possible. However, if their own momentum was halted, they would likely suffer the following rounds.
Ella had risen up the fastest in this period of time. The reason for this was unclear; it was like she had suddenly been enlightened after playing a game with someone. She had almost reached a state of perfection with her Jungle Scamper.
The goal of this round was very clear: to follow and delay the mech of Sword Magician Oz. As long as she could hold him back, let’s not talk about whether she would have an opportunity. She would first blunt the opponent’s momentum, and it would be impossible for the opponent to determine the outcome of the battle in just one hit.
Ella – Jungle Scamper.
Oz – Sword Shield Rose III.
The Sword Shield Rose was a very common warrior-type mech of Aslan. There was nothing wrong with Oz choosing this common mech, but would the mobility of this mech be able to catch up with the Jungle Scamper? There was indeed sufficient space for movement in the current battlefield. Facing Oz, Ella obviously did not need to bother much about her reputation, she just needed to run as far as she needed to.
The two mecha appeared, and both were rumbling. It was evident they both were well-prepared and were just waiting for the gunshot by the referee to start taking action.
Ella had an electrical javelin in her hand. Her state of mind was calm. She wanted this kind of harmony, that regardless who her opponent was, she was only focused on the electrical javelin in her hand.
Oz’s smile was getting more and more exuberant. He had just heard a rumour that was pretty interesting. It seemed like someone had managed to pass through the S-rank resurrection round. S-rank, it was only heard of as a legend, but unexpectedly, there was still such a person! Not knowing why, Oz felt that he was going to boil over with excitement. It would definitely be interesting to fight against such a person!
It was clear that Oz did not even bother with his opponent. The gunshot sounded, and unexpectedly, both the mecha were rushing towards their opponent at the same time.
In an instant, both players advanced 50 meters. This was already the optimal attack distance for the Jungle Scamper. The beast-type mech stood up instantly, the electrical javelin was fully charged. Ella took a deep breath, her eyes suddenly shut, and she launched an attack with her electrical javelin.
However, at this moment, Oz did not dodge the attack. The beam saber was unsheathed in an instant. It was a quick draw! A sword flashed out in a single breath.
…Was he blind?
There was still around forty meters between them!
As the beam saber flashed, a red ray of light arced out.
Buzz~
The electrical javelin brushed against the shoulder of Sword Shield Rose, and Oz only slightly leaned to one side. Just as everyone thought it was time for the Jungle Scamper to retreat, the Jungle Scamper indeed transformed into a beast-type and started retreating.
But…
God, what was going on?
The way the Jungle Scamper was moving was like it was being possessed, it was slowly “crawling”, and Oz had already arrived.
One swat by the sword and the Jungle Scamper fell down onto the ground helplessly.
Out of all the powerful teams, Aslan was probably the most humane. If the sword had sliced through, Ella would have surely died.
Aslan’s victory!
Totally unfathomable, there was no solution at all. The disparity was as huge as a gulf, so much so that nobody knew about this new capability of Aslan’s mech, or about Oz’s Ability X.
Such ability had never, ever been heard of before.
The Immortal Barbarian Star was in absolute silence. Very soon they lost three games in a row. It was gap which they were unable to close, as the people of Aslan reproduced the previous scene. These individuals had no flaws at all.
