Tempest of the Stellar War

Panda Novel

However, he had been cornered by the Frenzy mech. Honestly speaking, Menlo hated to run. It was dry and boring. He had intentionally allowed Achilles to retrieve his weapon because it was a waste of time running around in circles. Even if he were to kill him with his axe eventually, it was still a waste of time.

The two mecha faces each other once again. Knowing that Achilles was no longer concerned about his pride, Menlo was not going to give Achilles another chance to run around in circles again.

Besides, he had already given him fair warning. His death would be in vain now.

Holding tight to the Dragon Spear, Achilles was no longer running. Menlo’s Frenzy mech was gripping the battle axe with both his hands. This time he was going to use his favourite move: cut the cord. Even the energy shield could offer no protection!

Achilles’ spiritual power exploded. But so did Menlo’s, and it instantaneously restrained Achilles. The killer instincts of Arbiter’s warriors were very brutal. This was a result of regional wars. It had a different feel to it.

In addition, warriors who had experienced large scale wars had vastly different comprehension from those who had only experienced individual battles. They could comprehend a kind of war spirit.

As soon as Menlo took his imposing stance, there was an immediate overwhelming sense of hostility. There was no fear of death; just charging forward. This was the essence of an Arbiter warrior.

Achilles had never thought of overwhelming his opponent. He merely did not want to be overwhelmed by this opponent.

The Heavenly King Dragon Spear was spinning up. This was the most difficult battle yet for Achilles.

This was not an equal battle. Menlo was five years older than him and had far richer experience. These five years were times of rapid growth for a warrior. However, no one would take this into consideration in the battlefield.

Engagement!

The gravitational force fully engaged. Under the guidance of the Ability X, the Dragon Spear’s spinning became even more ferocious.

On the other end, Menlo had transferred his power to the battle axe. A current appeared from the violent force field. Menlo wanted to kill with a single strike. One less fighter meant a higher chance of winning. Since they had reached this stage, there was no need for compassion. Of course, the Arbiters knew very little about compassion.

“Menlo’s murderous instinct is very strong. If Achilles confronts it head-on, it will be fatal,” said Jondi Lilick.

This was what everyone thought as well. Achilles did not choose to evade. Menlo had no reason to stop either. Everyone knew that there was no turning back once such a strike had been made. There was nothing the organising committee could pick on either.

Every breath almost stopped.

Charge! Kill! Kill! Kill!

Both mecha charged towards each other simultaneously!

The battle axe struck in a burst. Instantly, the space seemed to be collapsing. Unable to take the pressure, the ground sunk with the Frenzy mech as the centre. At this instant, the battle axe seemed to generate an extremely powerful gravitational pull, sucking everything towards it.

Collapsing Force!

Achilles did not evade at this very moment. He knew when to battle.

The Heavenly King Dragon Knight struck. Facing head-on???

This was definitely courting death!

Everyone kept their eyes on the two, pupils shrunk. This was obviously suicidal!

However, at the very same moment, everyone saw another scene. Just as Achilles struck with his spear, a second spear struck too!

Gravitational Force Spear!

Ability X concretization!

The Heavenly King Double Dragon Spears!

The sudden change shocked Menlo. A weapon from the concretization of Ability X was not defendable by an energy shield. It would directly attack the physical body. Achilles was trading his life with him!

A smile appeared from the corner of Achilles’ mouth. At a moment of life and death, there was absolutely no hesitation from the warrior from the Moon

That’s right. This was exchanging lives!

However, he had met an Arbiter. If ever there were warriors from a country who were generally not afraid to die, it would have to be Arbiter.

The hesitation only lasted for a split second before the Frenzy mech’s battle axe hacked down.

Boom… Boom… Bang… Bang…

In an instant, the Heavenly King Dragon Knight was smashed to pieces. The Heavenly King mech was hacked at the same time, and the energy shield was smashed into pieces. The arms of the Heavenly King mech reached out to meet the attack!

Boom… Boom… Bang… Bang …

Exploded into pieces. The Heavenly King mech was blown off too.

Fresh blood spouted onto the screen. On the other hand, the Frenzy mech did not move. The Gravitational Spear penetrated through the energy shield, through the mech, and struck directly at Menlo.

Blood was flowing out from Menlo’s eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.

This was trading lives!

Achilles had waited till the very end. If he had revealed this too early, Menlo would definitely not have given him this opportunity. He could only have this tiny opportunity if his opponent thought that he was weak.

Menlo clenched his teeth, holding back the excruciating pain he felt from his entire body. Even his tough, devillike body felt the breaking point.

This damn idiot! He had actually tricked him!

Achilles’ Heavenly King Dragon Knight did not stand any more chance as sparks flew from the broken arms.

The Heavenly King mech moved slightly. Achilles’ face was pale. The mech swayed as it stood up. But it could only lean against the energy shield wall, like a fish on the chopping board waiting to be slaughtered

The Frenzy mech approached slowly. Menlo’s expression was unusually hideous. It was his moment of hesitation that had spared the life of his opponent. It seemed that his experience was still lacking. If this were to happen again in the future, he would need to be more vicious, more merciless.

The battle axe was raised up high.

Achilles had to admit defeat now. If he didn’t, the organising committee would have no right to stop the battle.

The battle axe hacked now!

Growling …Zeng, zeng, zeng, zeng…

The entire arena was stunned.

Although Menlo’s battle axe was held high up, he could no longer lower it. The Frenzy mech had been pierced by numerous laser beams.

Energy control plus concretization!

The Frenzy mech was covered in laser shots.

This was not the first time that the energy shield wall had been used in such a way. The Mayans were more amazing, but this time it was fiercer.

There was nothing new about Achilles’ ultimate trick, but it was practical. However, it had to be used when his opponent least expected it.

Achilles knew right from the beginning that the Gravitational Spear would not be able to kill Menlo. After two levels of single defence, coupled with his opponent’s physical strength, the most he could do was inflict minor injuries. However, the injuries he would sustain would definitely be more serious. If his opponent were determined to kill him, it would have been the end for him. He was, after all, human. A moment of hesitation gave Achilles an opportunity. Him leaning against the energy protection wall was not for support, but to launch an attack.

Menlo had been very confident about his power. He knew that his opponent’s body was on the verge of collapse. However, his head was raging with anger. He was bound to overlook some things at moments like this. Thus, he would naturally think that the Gravitational Force would be unable to stop his power. Little did he know that this would happen.

Boom… Boom… Bang… Bang…

The Frenzy mech fell to the ground with a loud bang, sending sparks all round.

…Menlo had died in battle.

Saruman Snake won the first match of the battle.

A trace of a smile appeared on Achilles’ face. His vision was getting blurry. He did not know when Wang Zheng had exerted such influence on him that he would try such stupid stuff. He did not know when he started considering himself a member of Saruman Snake. He also did not know when he wanted to take on some responsibilities.

Not for himself, but for others.

Blood was spouting out from Achilles’ mouth. Everything went black …

The emergency response team dragged Achilles out from the mech. Both his arms were beyond distortion. This was why Menlo had been so confident. Achilles’ arms were broken just by the mere hack of the axe. There were more than ten fractures in the bones. All Achilles could do was stand up. He could not even move his mech. If Menlo had swung his axe now, everything would be over.

But the Arbiters liked to finish off the battle with their own hands. This was also Achilles’ only chance.

What if he had not approached?

Achilles did not know. No one knew. This was because there was no what if.

The first battle between Saruman Snake and the Soulless battle team, one dead and one seriously injured.

The Arbiters’ eyes were filled with murderous intent now. The first battle had set the tone for the rest of the battles. It was a battle to the death.

It also announced to everyone that Saruman Snake had no intention of giving up.

There were no cheers from the students at the Moonlight College. Everyone had their hands across their hearts. This was a battle for life, but with the determination of death. Only then could such a setup be possible for the battle.

In situations where the difference in strength was obvious, there was only one way to win: to find a way out of an impasse!

“It seems that the Arbiters haven’t fully prepared for battle. This is not a duel, but a battle for life and death!” said Jondi Lilick seriously. This was truly SIG. How could one give up with that kind of determination in their heart?

The real battle had only just begun.

The furious Arbiters would be fighting back now.

Wang Zheng was feeling conflicted. He could ignore his own death, but he could not ignore others’. However, Zhang Shan had already stood up. He had no need to know who his opponent would be. His other hand was already holding onto Wang Zheng’s shoulder. “I’ll definitely become famous after this battle. No one can take that from me!”

Wang Zheng was lost for words. Zhang Shan laughed. “I’ve spent the whole of last night thinking about it. When you marry Aina, I will have to be the best man!”

As soon as he finished, Zhang Shan laughed and walked out.

I will definitely win this battle for you, Brother!
