Chapter 11 (1/2)

Ye Zhong looked at the mecha in front of him attentively and thought quickly on his feet. The human-shaped mecha was 3 metres high, and the silver s.h.i.+eld in its left hand, under the soft light, was gleaming a mercury like color. The Flame Saber in its right hand, made from several flaming red rays a.s.sembled together, looked like a solid blade. The mecha's silvery armour made it look like a posh and chivalrous earl. Its golden forehead jewellery easily caught people's eyes, and they would lavish it with compliments.

This was an upgraded mecha for sure. The double-layered uranium s.h.i.+eld was in the upper middle range of the mecha's s.h.i.+eld, but it wasn't something that the Black Birds' magnetic sword could have destroyed. The Flame Saber's quality was medium, but could have easily cut the Black Bird into two halves with 3 strikes, or even slay it with a scratch at its weak point. The torso armor was of the Milky Way type, not only could it increase the defence capabilities, but was also light weight, thus, it reduced the burden on the engines. Additionally, there was also a hidden compartment for a gun, and long-range firearms could have been equipped.

Tough opponent! Ye Zhong's heart sunk. Just with a glance, Ye Zhong knew that it wouldn't be an easy fight.

If he had to evaluate this mecha, he could only think of the word ”balance”. Although each component was of the medium range separately, but if the user was competent in both defence and offence, this mecha's fighting ability was enormous. If Ye Zhong's a.s.sessment was right, its engine would either be the Parnam or Swordfish-IV, the only two engines that could have optimised the other components' performances.

Capable in both defence and offence, close and long-range combat, this mecha was a pain to deal with. It stressed Ye Zhong out when his first fight was to be with such a tough opponent.

However, he didn't despair nor feel intimidated. Living on the dump planet, he understood that the opponents he had to fight with wasn't usually his decision to make. The only thing on his mind now was how to win the fight!

Infrared gun? Even if his opponent was to stay put, the gunshots couldn't be more than a few light sparks. It wouldn't have damaged his opponent in any way possible.

Alloy dagger? Heck, man. If the dagger hit this mecha, it would be the first one to bend. There were no hopes in using it.

Fortunately, he wasn't at the end of his weapon spectrum just yet. The magnetic sword could have left some marks. However, those marks could have only damaged the Milky Way torso armor if he could have specifically hit it in one certain location. Which was not easy.

3 hits at the same place! This was challenging, Ye Zhong was shaking his head deep down.

But what can its weaknesses be? Ye Zhong carefully thought. Knowing how to thoroughly hunt, Ye Zhong was aware that every enemy had a weakness, and if he had managed to find it and strike it there, it would have been a fatal hit without much efforts. It was the secret for the weak to defeat the strong.

Its throat? Not wrong, since almost all human-shaped mechas had throats as a weakness. Due to the dense connection points there, with just a slight damage, mecha control could be lost. Moreover, if the mecha's neck was too thick, it would reduce its agility. Thus, except for a few fire-types of mecha's, the rest regarded its neck as a fatal weakness. The important point was that almost every mecha owners understood this very well, hence, and protected it properly.

Ye Zhong shook his head and rejected this idea.

The c.o.c.kpit? No need to think any further, there was no operator who would want to risk his or her lives. Moreover, different from the throat, the c.o.c.kpit situated at the mecha's chest, had the thickest wall compared to the rest of it. Looking at the magnetic sword in his hand, even if he managed to strike at the very same place repeatedly, Ye Zhong estimated that it would have taken him at least 10 hits to have pierced through. To be able to strike more than 10 times in close combat, the Flame Saber would have sliced Ye Zhong into 8 pieces already, not even his scalp would have been left.

What can I do? Ye Zhong was desperate to find a solution.

But time never waited. With just a ring, the fight began.

Ye Zhong cleared his mind and focused.

Jie Ben was lazing around in the c.o.c.kpit. Below his tall nose was the smile that had seduced countless of women. His blonde hair was slightly wavy, naturally, like a prince from the fairy tales. He is n.o.ble and elegant, with every gesture full of the aristocratic aura. Looking at the Black Bird in front of him, mockery flashed in his brown eyes.

Jie Ben exclaimed ”What an ignorant fool! You want to challenge my Apollo with a Black Bird? Hey, let me teach you a lesson today” with contempt in his tone. As Jie Ben had decided to 'teach' Ye Zhong thoroughly, as soon as the system alert sounded, he immediately controlled his beloved Apollo to leap straight at the Black Bird. Not only was his long-range firearm was inactive, he didn't even bother to use his double layered uranium s.h.i.+eld.

Black Bird stood still, as if it had gave up and waited for its death. It is waiting for my strike

-Hey, what an unfortunate guy! But meeting me was your biggest unbecoming. Poor guy - Jie Ben clicked his tongue. He had been in a bad mood for the past few days, so this was a rare given chance for him to vent out. ”I shouldn't kill off my toy just yet!”, Jie Ben thought to himself, sneering and revealing his evil intentions.
