810 Rising Wind 2 (1/2)
It was at this moment that a black ball of sparks appeared in the middle of the sky once again. The ball exploded, this time revealing a white and red humanoid mech.
The mech was more than 10 meters tall with a lean and elegant shape. However, its arms inspired a sense of curiosity from everyone who looked at it. One of them was holding onto a snowy white alloy sword that looked like a straight letter opener while the other didn't have a hand structure; instead, the arm was in the shape of a cannon barrel. There were some symbols and patterns carved in dark red at the area around the cannon lip and muzzle, giving it an antique vibe.
However, the thing that stood out the most about the mech was the soft green fluorescence shining from all the gaps on its chest and shoulder plates, almost as if a neon green liquid was flowing through all of these crevices. These growing green crevices seemed to naturally form a single character: Light.
”How dare he attempt such a stunt even after being so heavily damaged? Serves him right!” a cold and hoarse voice sounded from inside the mech.
All of a sudden, numerous white humanoid mechs appeared behind this mech. All of them had the white-red color scheme, but none were as intricately designed as the mech leading them. They all had a simple green diamond-shaped gem embedded in their chests.
”Go down there and retrieve the parts,” The leader said emotionlessly.
”Understood.”
Out of the 5 mechs that just appeared, 3 of them nosedived downwards while the remaining 2 started circling the area as if they were patrolling.
”Based on your potential, to be able to force me, the Great Light Mech, to personally take action, you should be proud,” the leader mech sneered as he looked down at the remains of the exploded mech.
Almost immediately, the results of the search were reported back, neatly organized on the mech's quantum computer. Pieces of black machine parts start popping up on the computer screen.
”The next target is…?”
Inside the Great Light Mech, a young man in a white mask quickly opened the email that he had just received.
Swiftly scanning through the contents of the message, the man's sharp eyes squinted slightly, showing a hint of surprise.
”There's also a fragment in the Blackboard Region? Well since I'm already here, I might as well go get it.”

Blackboard City South District
Inside a bakery with the sign ”One for All Bakery” at the corner of the street.
The interior of the building was dimly lit with a warm yellow light, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere even during the day.
Clint Beza was seated on a chair in a lazy, half-asleep state, looking almost like a droopy slime. Saliva was slowly flowing out from the corner of his lip, dripping down his chin. The saliva was dangling from the side his face, creating some sort of thin saliva thread.
Whew…
With a slight breeze, the dangling saliva thread swung towards Clint's shirt collar, creating a damp dark stain.
Slurp…
Clint sucked up his saliva, then continued to sleep with his head tilted to the side
”Oh my god!!! Ohmygodohmygodohmygod! Goddammit! We're screwed! This time we're screwed!” out of nowhere, a loud shriek rang out in his ear. The loud sound made Clint feel a sense of numbness throughout his body and it immediately woke him from his slumber.
Clint looked dazed. After taking a moment to regain his composure, he cupped his ears and started roaring loudly.
”What are you doing! My ears! Ears…!”
”You're screwed!” Red Moon answered concisely.
”Why?” Clint asked. ”Why am I screwed?”
”You're dead!”
”Why?” Clint asked on with a confused look.
”You are an idiot! Dead! This time we're dead!” Red Moon continued to shout.
”Oh my god…” Clint held his head as he cried out in agony.
After 10 minutes of forcefully resisting the intensely loud shouts, Clint went to attend a few customers before finally getting an opportunity to use the washroom.
”Lord Red Moon, what the heck are you going on about this time! I can't take it anymore, I really can't take it anymore! If you continue on my sanity levels will definitely go down, really!”
Pulling down his pants, he sat his ass down on the toilet and let out a long sigh.
”I have unfortunate news to tell you,” Red Moon angrily answered, ”We've been found out!”
”Found out? What do you mean?” Clint was once again confused.
”An expert is now on the hunt for my parts, and they're already here in the Blackboard Region,” Red Moon said in a serious tone, ”I'm not joking around this time. If we get found, we'll be dead meat. I'll get reformatted, and you will definitely be silenced!”
Clint felt a cold sweat drip down his forehead.
”S-Silence… You don't mean… They're going to kill me???”
