The Legendary Mechanic - Chapter 485

Chapter 485


Ta, ta, ta!

Alvin escaped hurriedly . He was the final doppelganger left on the surface, and DarkStar's pursuing forces followed behind him like parasites . The one chasing after him was a Grade B Super called Sherman, the vice-captain of Forsyth's squad .

He had already noticed that DarkStar was getting ready to take action and had informed Nagakin and the others to request reinforcements . However, reinforcements still had not arrived, so Alvin was getting anxious .

Bang!

A thick light cannon pierced through the walls and smashed into Alvin's body . A magical shield appeared with ripples on it and blocked the damage before exploding in the next instant . Alvin was sent flying by the shockwave and rolled a couple of meters out .

Not too far away from him, a short dwarf-like man walked over wearing a pair of targeting goggles . He was dressed in a gray mechanical suit and held onto a gigantic cannon almost the size of his body . The design of the cannon was complicated with an extremely thick barrel . Apart from the main cannon, there were a couple of subsidiary cannons, and it was obvious that this was a multipurpose firearm .

This person was Sherman . It is said that he had the bloodline of the dwarfs and was a Cannon Master .

"I only have three protective talismans left, and I wouldn't be able to escape far . If the reinforcements do not arrive, I will be finished for sure . Those from DarkStar definitely won't show any mercy to me…" Alvin's face turned solemn; he knew that things were bad .

Sherman remained expressionless, and he pointed his cannon at Alvin, who was trying to crawl back up . "Don't move . Unless you find your legs too long . "

Before he could even finish his sentence, the sound of something descending from above could be heard . Looking up, he saw someone weaving through the gaps of the buildings nimbly, dressed in a mechanical suit that looked like the armor of a knight . The white cape on his shoulders fluttered in the wind, and he approached Sherman at high speed . With a Battleship Slicing Blade that was a couple of meters long, it could only be Herlous .

Without saying a single word, Sherman raised his cannon and fired .

Boom boom boom!

Wave after wave of large light balls assaulted him . Herlous' eyes were extremely sharp, and he cleaved apart the ball of lights before they could even reach him .

Weaving through the balls of exploding cannon fire, Herlous cleaved his blade down at Sherman's head right before he reached the ground . However, Sherman had already foreseen this attack and avoided it .

This attack landed on the ground, and a long ditch was created with silvery flames spewing out like lava . The cracks on the ground then extended out a few dozen meters .

"Reinforcements?" Sherman was sent flying by the shockwave of the attack and was half kneeling on the ground . Licking his lips, he could taste the slight metallic taste of blood, and his killing intent burst out .


At that moment, all of the hired mercenaries also appeared and surrounded Alvin to protect him . Alvin could finally heave a sigh of relief .

Reinforcements are finally here .

Over a hundred mercenaries glared at him fiercely, but Sherman was not anxious in the slightest . He pointed his finger at Herlous, who caused him to suffer a small loss, and pointed his finger at his head like a gun before 'firing' . He obviously meant that he had his eyes on Herlous .

The next moment, the members of DarkStar arrived as well . They did not lose in numbers at all and had even more elites . Anur walked out from the crowd and said with a deep voice, "Godoran, don't hide in a corner . You cannot escape from my senses . "

Hearing that, Nagakin walked out, and the two powerhouses glared at each other in a faceoff . Nagakin's expression was solemn as he asked, "Where's the other one?"

Anur did not reply, and his gaze swept past the mercenaries . Counting the number of mercenaries present, he began to frown . Almost all of the hired mercenaries were there, and the enemy's camp should be empty . He knew that Ember would definitely return empty handed . However, that did not matter; Ember would not need much time to return, and they would be able to form a pincer attack to cut off all paths of retreat .

Since they were enemies, neither party spoke about their plans . Glaring at each other without a word, the situation was extremely tense .

With a single command, the killing began .

The battle had erupted!

Siii…

Anur's body swelled up, and he turned into a strange looking creature in the blink of an eye . His body was four to five meters tall with an inverted triangle as the head . His body was that of a streamlined beast with thick skin and small little holes all over . Those holes were the key to controlling the wind pressure . A long tail trailed behind the body, and his limbs turned into powerful claws . Eight strange, dog-ear-like bones could be seen on his back with its appearance looking a little like a pair of winds . However, it was a special organ like a tube for it to shoot out air . It extended out from Anur's ribs and allowed the high-pressure gas to cycle between the inside of his body and the atmosphere on the outside . It also ensured a balance of pressure on the inside and outside of the body to protect the body under high speed .

This was what Anur looked like after its transformation . His nickname was Wind Demon, and he had the special ability to control the flow of air .

Bang!

Anur's eight tubes spat out high-pressure gas, and he sped up rapidly . In the blink of an eye, he covered the distance of a few hundred meters and clashed together with Nagakin .



With him as the center, to his left and right were formless wind pressure cannons . The usually gentle air had been transformed into a powerful shockwave and decimated everything in its way .

Boom!

Wherever the wind pressure cannon passed by, the ground would crack, and the windows on the buildings to the side would be shattered . Everyone present felt that it was becoming difficult to breathe as though they were in the middle of a storm .

Nagakin broke through the wind barrier, and his fist smashed squarely onto Anur's body . His golden flames clashed straight on with the formless wind pressure, and both of them were sent flying in two different directions . Wherever they landed, a gray cloud of dust would be kicked up, and a circular crater would form .

By the time he raised his head again, Anur's figure had already disappeared, and only the violent winds were left behind . Nagakin had witnessed this ability before . The little holes on Anur's body would control the air surrounding him to coat his entire body like a shield . He would then use some unknown method to absorb the light rays and make sure that his body was no longer reflecting any light . As such, Anur's body could no longer be seen .

The two Calamity Grade Supers had to restrain each other . If not, the others fighting by the side would be in danger . Just a single Anur forced Nagakin to use all of his strength . If there was another Calamity Grade Super, he would be dead for sure .

Black Star said that the enemy will probably split up their forces . One of the Calamity Grade Supers will probably charge into our base alone . Black Star chose to stay behind to restrain the enemy . Only if we can hold down that Calamity Grade Super will we have a chance to save Alvin .

However, he is only a Grade B Super, and the Calamity Grade is too dangerous to him . Can he really do it?

Nagakin was worried .

…

At the same time, Ember walked into the mercenaries' base and was already prepared to unleash a massacre . However, the place was covered in darkness, and there was not a single person inside .

"Everyone abandoned the base and took action with the Godoran? It seems like this was a wasted trip . I'd better regroup with Anur . "

Ember was expressionless . Just when he was about to turn around and leave, the lights lit up in the base .

"Don't go . I have been waiting for a long time . "

Ember's eyes narrowed .

I know this voice .



He looked up and looked at the camera in the corner .

"Black Star?"

"Ember—this is the nickname that DarkStar gave you, but you do not have a real name . When you were very little, you were accepted by DarkStar . They were interested in your talent, and they treated you like a weapon, forcing you through endless strict training . You are not a Godoran, but you were brainwashed with a hatred that does not belong to you . DarkStar groomed your loyalty, but you are no more than a useful tool in their eyes . Your beliefs are completely meaningless because those aren't your true thoughts . "

Han Xiao narrated slowly . Because of the information from his previous life, he understood Ember's life story . While he had killed many and was extremely hateful, he was also extremely pitiful .

If he had not been groomed by DarkStar from a young age but led a normal life, he would not have been the infamous Ember . He might have had his own name and would not have given his all only to be treated like a weapon and tool .

Ember clenched his fists tightly before releasing them slowly . He did not have any intention to argue with Han Xiao . "All of the other mercenaries have left? Why are you the only one left behind?"

"To wait for you of course . "

Ka-cha .

A metal door opened, and Han Xiao walked out with his gaze clashing with Ember .

Sparks flew .

DarkStar had sent out two Calamity Grade Supers, and Han Xiao had guessed that they would try to fully utilize their advantage by sending one of them out alone . On a strategic level, this will allow them to be more agile . Thankfully, he had guessed correctly, and there was indeed a Calamity Grade Super who worked alone with his strength .

During the recruitment, Han Xiao knew that he would not be able to hide the recruitment from DarkStar . If the enemy wanted to barge into their camp alone, the most likely person to come would be Ember because his ability was the most suited for a group battle . All carbon element beings that were weaker than him would essentially be killed instantly . As such, Han Xiao got the majority of the mercenaries to aid Nagakin in saving Alvin . They would only be committing suicide if they stayed behind .

Only he would be able to restrain Ember . The longer he could restrain Ember, the higher the chances of Nagakin rescuing Alvin .

If he wanted to fight a battle of attrition, Han Xiao was extremely confident .

"Wait for me?" Ember's expression was odd . "You want to hold me back alone?"

"Not really alone . " Han Xiao shrugged his shoulders . By his side, a light flashed, and Aroshia drifted beside him . Apart from her, there were another few useless mercenaries in another monitoring room with their attention focused on the screen .



Han Xiao had left them behind on purpose, and their mission was to ignite the explosives that were laid all around the building to hold Ember down . At that moment, their palms were completely soaked in sweat and their breathing heavy . The look of nervousness could be seen all over their faces .

It was understandable for them to be nervous . After all, the figure in the surveillance image was a Calamity Grade Super . If they had been standing in Han Xiao's position, they probably would not even have been able to speak fluently . They could not help but feel nervous for Han Xiao .

The moment the enemy takes action, Black Star will be in danger .

If Black Star dies, we won't be able to benefit from his connections .

Ember raised his finger and found out that there was no reaction from Aroshia when he used his Esper abilities . He then shook his head and said, "It turns out your trump card is this energy lifeform . Do you think that you can stop me like that?"

Han Xiao twiddled a compressed orb and said with a smile, "We never decided the victor in our previous battle . Could it be that you are afraid?"

As Ember heard that, he could not help but chuckle . He had already entered the next grade and was no longer the same as before . He did not understand where Han Xiao's confidence came from . Could it be that Han Xiao thought that he was the same as before?

"Overestimating yourself . " Ember's tone became cold . "Even though the rest aren't here, it isn't too bad to get rid of you . I will be able to fulfil a small wish of mine from the past . It won't be too late for me to provide reinforcements after getting rid of you . "

A rustling sound could be heard as though there were numerous grains of sand rubbing against each other . However, this rustling sound quickly turned into the sound of rushing waves . Around Ember, countless carbon atoms had already formed a mysterious black cloud that was rapidly expanding .

The range of Ember's Esper abilities was greater than before, and he could control it much more easily than before . Countless carbon atoms were stuck to the surface of his clothes and skin, and it was just like a weapon that he could bring around with him . He was not afraid of fighting in a place without any carbon .

"This is the strength of a Grade A Super…" The sound of the mercenaries gulping with nervousness could be heard . They felt a wave of pressure emanating from the screen, and their legs turned to jelly .

But the next moment, they saw Han Xiao's body shaking and bolts of electricity being shot out in all directions . It accurately connected to the ceiling, ground, and the compressed orbs in every corner . With him as the center, he seemed to have formed a web of electricity!

Ka ka ka!

The next instant, hundreds of machines were activated . The scene was truly breathtaking!

Those compressed orbs had been set up by him before the battle!

The entire base was a trap that he had laid!
