Chapter 388 Amphiptere, Shattered! (2/2)
_____________________
All the players became spirited.
…
The Esper's power was very strong. Not only was it strong in close-quarter combat, but it could also control countless dust particles and turn them into spears to strike or tentacles to constrain Han Xiao's mobility. The most dangerous threat of that ability was the dust infiltrating into the gaps of the mechanical suit that changed their form inside the suit to destroy Amphiptere's interior. At least one-third of the damage came from Ember.
The seven DarkStar warriors had very good cooperation—three Pugilist to limit Han Xiao's mobility at close range through exchanging hits, one Esper that could secret acid, and another that could inject energy in the galaxy into specially made metals and turn them into bombs. These two Espers were hiding at the side while throwing acid and metal balls at Han Xiao.
There was one more Mechanic who was good at electromagnetic disruption and smart hacking, connecting to Amphiptere through his own combat suit and disrupting Amphiptere's system through the hacking program that he wrote. He was even trying to take control of Amphiptere. Han Xiao's smart technology was still within the bounds of basic knowledge, so he had no choice but to turn off most auto functions and leave only the nerves connection controls on, to stop detection and analysis as well as to prevent Amphiptere's system from being taken over. This Mechanic was also controlling numerous shield generators to block attacks for his teammates.
The last one was an Electric Mage. His cooperation with Ember was the closest, unleashing his electric sorcery by using the carbon dust as a bridge. Ember turned them into graphene, which was more conductive, to increase the power, attacking Han Xiao from all directions and burning the internals of Amphiptere.
Boom boom boom!
Attacks rained down on Amphiptere, and the number of wounds gradually increased. Facing seven enemies of the same grade and one whose grade was even higher than his own, Han Xiao was like facing a terrifying tsunami—he could hardly fight back.
Even with [Snake—Devil] activated, he could just barely hold on.
The mechanical suit's durability dropped very quickly. After only a few minutes into the fight, it was already at sixteen percent, close to being completely destroyed.
Han Xiao took a deep breath. He poured all the energy into the mobility device, and with a sharp arc, he escaped from the close-range battle and headed straight for the Esper who could secrete acid. He closed in extremely quickly while firing a shot at the Mechanic to make sure he could not control the shield to protect his teammate. Then, with a swing of the scythe, he was about to slash at the Esper.
”Burst!” Ember yelled as he clenched his fist. Before Han Xiao could land the attack, Ember could give the wounded Amphiptere one last attack to destroy it!
Countless spikes formed inside Amphiptere within a second!
The mechanical suit became covered in holes and was on the brink of shattering.
At this moment, a blurry white light bloomed. Amphiptere, which was about to shatter, came back together like a miracle, and its energy level recovered to its prime.
Machinery Continuation!
”What!” Ember was shocked and surprised. The attack that he had been so confident in could not break Han Xiao's suit, and it was now too late to stop him.
The acid Esper initially believed that Ember could stop Han Xiao, but now he was horrified and could only watch the scythe growing in his vision.
Flaming Will!
Swoosh!
With a flash of light, blood spilled all over. A ferocious wound extended from the acid Esper's head to his chin, spitting his face in half.
His health dropped a large chunk in an instant.
”Ahhh!”
The acid Esper fell to the ground and writhed in agony as blood gushed out from his face. Ember hastily moved him away before Han Xiao could land another hit.
The next moment, Amphiptere crumbled into pieces.
Machinery Continuation made Amphiptere last for five seconds longer, and in this time, Han Xiao landed this hit and heavily injured one of the enemies even while he was under siege.
Han Xiao was breathing heavily. He had wanted to get rid of that guy a long time ago—it was so disgusting to have him keep spitting acid at him.
Ember had a very gloomy expression. His subordinate was heavily injured, and his mistake was partly to blame. Anger arose from inside his heart.
This was a pure accident, and it was not going to happen again. Black Star had reached his limit after lasting for so long. From the moment his mechanical suit shattered, he was a sheep waiting to be butchered and would not have any chance to fight back anymore.
A Mechanic that lost his machines was at most half as strong!
”This is it for you. I've said before, you can save yourself a lot of pain if you don't resist, and I am a man of my word…”
Ember then said with freezing cold eyes, ”Are you ready to feel pain?”
Amphiptere shattered, and the backup mechanical suit could not be summoned. Han Xiao's body had no more protection. He glanced at the broken parts all over the floor, but his expression did not change at all. He did not seem to be bothered about his current situation. He casually placed the black scythe on his shoulders and said, ”Don't celebrate too soon. The fight only ends when I can't fight anymore.”
The Great Mechanic Han was never one to back away from a fight.
