Tempest of the Stellar War - Page 444/571

Azhas stood up slowly. The surrounding paramedics were so shocked that their jaws dropped. He was just on the brink of death and now he was standing?

Azhas placed his hand on his chest. “Leader.”

This was the first time Azhas was sincere when addressing him. Bordia became the leader not because he had a good understanding of humans, but more importantly, it was because of his strength!

Azhas had entered the Temple by being the top ranked amongst all the participants, but Bordia was specially selected to enter the Temple directly..

Obviously, Wang Zheng had provoked Bordia.

“Rest and prepare for the team battle,” Bordia said. He could predict that this battle would not be easy to win.

Seeing Bordia standing again, the viewing hall burst into conversations. Was this still human?

How could he just stand after suffering such severe injuries, was he an immortal?

Wang Zheng was stunned. Azhas was sure to be a difficult opponent. That was why he did not show any mercy with that blow. However, this Bordia was really unbelievable. He had made an injured person stand energetically in just a moment?

Azhas sat down slowly and stopped talking. Obviously, he had not fully recovered. If not for Atlantean mech design, he would definitely be lying in the hospital now. Except, Azhas never thought that Bordia had already mastered the healing ability possessed only by the High Priest. This was the embodiment of Atlantis’ highest use of spiritual power. Battling was not the main point. Healing was the ultimate power.

Rumors said that Bordia possessed the blessing of God. Looking at the situation now, it was not just a rumour. Thinking back on how he kept competing against him, it all seemed so ridiculous now. Bordia must have left him be in view of protecting his dignity.

Of course, such a healing was not a complete heal. It only stimulated his potential to overcome the injuries. This showed that Bordia was feeling stressed, or else he would not have had to do that. But Azhas could not see it. Even though he had failed, Wang Zheng had already been up on the battlefield. He admitted that Wang Zheng was scarier than he imagined, not only in his control of mech, but also his spiritual power!

His spiritual explosion actually had no effect at all on this human. How strong was his spiritual energy?

Luckily, there was only one Wang Zheng.

There was no doubt that Bordia would be up for the second round. This also showed how important this was to Atlantis. At least the morale was high for the Solar System. With Wang Zheng’s battle, no matter how they did, they would not look too bad.

Lear and Achilles looked at each other. Achilles stood up. “Let me handle this round!”

Wang Zheng nodded. This round, either Lear or Achilles could go up. In comparison, Achilles was more willing to bear the responsibility.

No matter who went up for this battle, they would not have much chances of winning. However, Achilles was very calm. All along, the Solar System team had been overshadowed by Wang Zheng and Lear. Achilles was quiet for a long time. Finally it was his turn to have a decisive battle.

Achilles versus Bordia.

The Sky Dragon Knight versus the Phantom King.

Bordia continued to use his Phantom King. The previous battle already proved that Atlanteans were not undefeatable. Of course, the level of difficulty may only be analyzed after the battle, but Wang Zheng had already set the momentum.

The Solar System team could have chosen to give up this round of battle. If this was war, from the perspective of war tactics, this battle should be given up. However, this was the IG, and Achilles did not want his IG journey to become a holiday tour.

He wanted to pit himself against the strongest of the Milky Way Alliance. Of course, he was not here to lose.

He was Achilles from the Moon, and in this team, there wasn’t just Wang Zheng and Lear.

Other than being excited, everyone was a little anxious. No one thought that Wang Zheng winning was the end. On the contrary, this just proved Wang Zheng’s unbelievable talent and Atlantis’ great strength.

Could Achilles do it?

In everyone’s eyes, Wang Zheng was on the same level as Olivios. However, they could tell that Wang Zheng had used all his trump cards going up against Azhas: Double-attribute Ability X, the fiercest Flame Rotating Storm.

His choice was very specific. If he chose the Wind God or the Golden Wheel, he would definitely have lost against the Specter King’s movements.

Against this ever-changing mech, stability was crucial.

Of course, the unique characteristic of the Phantom King was not its long range attack, but its mid-range mysterious energy attack. If not, the Hercules would just have been a target board.

You could not judge Wang Zheng just based on his appearance. He gave off an impression of bravery and invincibility, but actually, all his choices made were very precise and specific.

His spectacular fights always led his opponents to overlook this point.

As for Achilles’ choice, Wang Zheng expressed his support. He had never belittled Lear or Achilles. Lear was low-key. If there was no need for him to be in the limelight, he would never come out, nor would he be willing to take risks. Achilles was calm and was considerate of the overall outcome; hence he was not willing to join in any disputes. He clearly understood that the Solar System now needed stability to overcome any difficulties. You must admit, Achilles played an important balancing and anchoring role within the team.

But this battle was for Achilles himself, a fight for his IG glory.

Sky Dragon Knight, a battle type mech. The Moon had released it not long ago. It was mainly for the special forces, belonging to the super mecha series.

This style of Sky Dragon Knight was equipped with the newest super-alloy spear developed by the Moon. It was said to have included G material substances. At the moment, there was no actual combat data on it.

In the viewing hall, people were still laughing and chatting away. Many high-level military officers were still thinking about the Hercules, and how such a low level mech could actually have such explosive strength. Was this simply technique or was there something else?

Similarly, Wang Zheng’s victory over the Phantom King provided the military valuable experience. Methods for defeating Atlantean mecha. Information in this area was too lacking.

Everyone was not really interested in this second round of battle. Ever since the beginning of IG, Achilles had disappeared. Until now, most people probably did not know that this handsome young man in front of them was once the most glorious “Sun God” of the Solar System.

Entering the Sky Dragon Knight, Achilles took a deep breath and rid his mind of irrelevant thoughts. Slowly, he adjusted his state of mind until it reached its peak. To a warrior, to have such a battle was in itself a glory.

Him standing here explained everything.

Hong Hong…

The two mecha rumbled at the same time, and the Phantom King and Sky Dragon Knight started simultaneously and strode towards each other in big steps.

Lear’s eyes were very sharp. Wang Zheng had already expanded his territory. The power of ice and fire Ability X might be strong, but those without secrets always had their ways. However, Achilles hid very deeply. He wanted to see if Achilles, in the years that he left Academy X, had grown.

Masasi clenched his fists. He was more nervous than Achilles. His palms were sweaty. This was a battle for the Moon’s glory. There was no doubt. Almost all the glory had been taken by Earth. Compared to the Moon’s initial goal, this was very different.

As for Achilles volunteering to battle with Bordia, Masasi was indeed worried. Milo and the others were the same. All the while they had been watching the battles as part of the audience. From the initial unwillingness to the present admiration, they also walked through a difficult psychological journey.

As the distance between the two drew nearer, the rune sword of the Phantom King already glowed. If it were any other opponent, they would be hesitating. No one knew in what mode the Phantom King’s attack would be.

However, while everyone’s thoughts flashed past, a super-alloy spear had already stabbed forth with no hesitation.

The Phantom that everyone was looking forward to did not appear. The rune sword rose towards its opponent.

It was a battle of pure strength!

Hong…

There was a loud explosion. The two mecha vibrated at the same time. The Phantom King attacked first. The rune sword brought with it the whole rune formation of the Phantom King and launched an instant strong attack.

Zheng zheng zheng…

It was a wild series of attacks, oppressing Achilles’ Sky Dragon Knight. The Sky Dragon Knight defended itself well.

Zeng….

The rune sword was raised, quickly followed by the Phantom King’s advance. The rune sword made a high frequency 48 strike combo. Its wild series of attacks forced the Sky Dragon Knight to retreat 20 plus meters.

This… was Bordia thinking of using human techniques to defeat humans?

However, his series of wild attacks did not break through Achilles’ defense. The super-alloy spear suddenly made a sweep; its aura was like an army of ten thousand horses.

Hong….

The Phantom King was swept away. With Achilles’ shout, the Sky Dragon Knight made a quick, smooth turn and the super-alloy spear struck outwards again

The rune sword and super-alloy spear clashed. Achilles instantly withdrew the spear and at the same time stabbed out. Peng peng peng…

With both his hands on the spear, he attacked and pushed back the Phantom King. Suddenly, the super-alloy spear stabbed again and pushed directly towards the Phantom King by six or seven steps.

——The Dual Step Continuous Stab

Achilles retrieved his spear and stood. “Bordia, you better use what you Atlanteans are good at. You are belittling me.”

Bordia smiled slightly. “Hehe, I never belittle anyone. Of the top three warriors of the Solar System Federation, you are the most low-key, but you have the most solid basic skills.”

Bordia’s words attracted the attention of the audience. Was this just being polite or something?

It seemed like the Atlanteans did not have such a habit.

Achilles smiled. “I’m here to see how strong the Atlantean rune mecha are. Using our own techniques, you are not my match!”

“Is that so? You’ll have to try before you know.”

Once Bordia’s words fell, the Phantom King instantly attacked, slashing down the rune sword.

Achilles’ pupils contracted in that instant.

Dang~~~Weng~~~

There were deafening sounds of collision. The super-alloy spear trembled violently, but the Phantom King moved horizontally and disappeared.

Dang dang dang dang…

Instantly, a circle of Phantom Kings surrounded Achilles’ Sky Dragon Knight, rune swords slashing wildly.

Doppelganger ability?

No, the speed was much slower than doppelgangers, this was… the Heaven Breaking Earth Decimating Four Directional Kill!

This was a top level fighting technique for a scout type mecha.

It was a continuous attack from the four positions surrounding the opponent. Its aim was to destroy the opponent in one move.

But…

Loud sounds of cracking appeared throughout the whole training field. The floor beneath the Sky Dragon Knight cracked completely.

What move was this?

Many human battle techniques had fancy names, but which had this effect?

The Phantom King leaped into the air, its rune sword slashing towards the head. At this moment, the Sky Dragon Knight was already beaten to the point it could no longer retaliate.

But at this moment, the Sky Dragon Knight’s super-alloy spear hit the ground forcefully.

Hong…

Smashed pieces of stone flew into the sky. While in mid-air, the Phantom King instantaneously evaded.

However, the Phantom King which was so quick seemed to have knocked into a wall, and its retreat was forced to stop.

An invisible wall mixed with the smashed stones trapped the Phantom King within.

Catching the fish in the net!

The super-alloy spear suddenly moved, zheng zheng zheng…

Four Sky Dragon Knights consecutively appeared and hit towards the Phantom King.

Heaven Breaking Earth Decimating Four Directional Kill!!

But this was completed by a warrior style mech. The Phantom King was like a leaf in the wind. At this moment, the Sky Dragon Knight was really like a wild dragon, one that could rival ten thousand!

At this moment, zeng….

A residual image appeared outside the wind wall. Following closely, the Phantom King disappeared and materialized there. It overlapped with the illusion and became solid, escaping from the Sky Dragon Knight’s range of attack.

In the viewing hall, everyone’s jaws dropped…. What was this?

All along, they all thought that Achilles was only a name in the team. Through the whole IG competition, this former no. 1 had just taken a supportive role. In tactical research, everyone almost ignored him. Their goals were all focused on Wang Zheng, Lear, or even Lie Xin.

But the Solar System team had such a person who performed so fiercely, even against the lauded no. 1, Bordia from Atlantis.

The super-alloy spear pointed at Bordia’s Phantom King. “I said so before, when using human techniques, you are not my match.”

Bordia laughed too. “Warm up is done, let’s start the official fight now.”
