Chapter 431: Chaos Itself (2/2)

The gate of Darvill opened out of sudden, soon a golden silhouette tumbled its way out.

Rui Bing?

Why did she...

Ye Chong was surprised. The Guardian was formidable but also limited in a space war like this, so why?

”Why did you come out?” asked Ye Chong grimly in the communicator channel prompted.

”I want to fight with you!” said Rui Bing firmly.

Ye Chong wanted to convince her by saying how the Guardian was simply not made for such environment but Rui Bing did something...

She demonstrated martial arts.

Rui Bing hopped onto on one pole sticking out on the deck and transformed into a beam of golden light bouncing off on another pole. Ye Chong was seeing Rui Bing becoming a kind of golden reflection moving from one pole or handle to another.

And because of the lack of gravity, it did not take Rui Bing much effort to main her momentum. She was literally zapping like electricity, but the consumption was not as dramatic as it looked.

This idea's not bad...

Ye Chong was impressed of Rui Bing's adaptability, although he did perceive one weakness immediately. The movement allowed Rui Bing's mobility but it would be highly dependent on the objects around, Rui Bing would need to always find something to hold in order to make another leap. Moreover, it was always possible for her to bounce off at a wrong angle, that she might send herself into deep space. It would be a tragedy by then...

”Rui Bing, I think-” She seemed to know what Ye Chong was thinking as she made a tap on the ship and bounced off Darvill.

What was she doing?! The Guardian had only miniature engines, there's no engine that promoted a directive aerial travel! You can't find any handle in the boundless space!

Ye Chong was hurrying his way to Rui Bing but Rui Bing was undisturbed, as she leisurely tapped a button on her waist, a rope was released and fired upon the body of the ship behind. There was a sucker at the end of the rope which helped fixing the rope on the ship firmly. Rui Bing stretched forward a little, then like a Yo-yo she was pulled back to the ship.

Ye Chong then noticed the additional rectangular metallic box at Guardian's waist.

”Ye, Pang got me this,” said Rui Bing, with slight joy in her chilly voice.

”Be careful,” said the indifferent voice. Rui Bing felt the 3 syllables warming her inside up nevertheless, ”Alright,” she said.

Rui Bing then had a stroll across the body of the ship. Her skill picked up as she grew familiar of the layout of the ship. She began brisk-walking. It was not far-fetched to say the Guardian was made for Rui Bing. The dagger of the Guardian was greatly honed and unstoppable even in the raining attack of the hard Crustalades. Rui Bing also had the sense to aid her on performing critical attacks efficiently. Crustalades might be fast but they were there to be slaughtered once they touched Darvill. Rui Bing was getting better on her moonwalking.

Thanks to Rui Bing, Ye Chong had more liberty in the space.

There was one ship of Xue Lai clan next to Darvill.

”Holy Xue Lai, what the heck was that?” one observer screamed exhilaratingly.

The crew members then quickly shifted the camera to that ”something”.

”What's wrong? Hey... Fei She'er! Talk to your captain!” said the captain loudly.

What the hell is my sailor talking? Stop making this into a cruise of a horror movie.

”Fei She'er!” Intense anger could be heard in the elevated volume of the captain.

”Ah!” Fei She'er lifted his head, turned his head only to see the horrifying face of the captain in anger, ”No sir! I mean, yes captain, sir, mister, I-I don't know, please take a look...” And he instantly sent the visual of his camera to the giant screen in front of the captain's seat.

The boundless space.

The chaotic walkway to the world outside.

”What is there, Fei She'er, do you think it is funny to trick your crew? Would you like to work at the-”

”Captain!”

A few Crustalades showed up in the screen. They became restless upon seeing the ship as quickly they charged towards it.

”Ah!” The crew member could not help but to scream. The captain's hope sank, they would be soon good-as-done once these disgusting insects touched the ship.

The shell of the arthropods shone in purplish dark metallic glow, reflecting the fireworks afar. The jaws were opening and closing in belligerent pace of hunger, as their purple brown eyes covetously projected in a high definition zoom-in on the screen.

Hope had sunken. The ship would be blowing up. And there was nothing they could do. A few members decided to lay back and close their eyes.

”Captain!”

Something was flashing in the dark. A blade seemed to have swayed across the closest arthropod which then turned into two pieces with countless droplets of purplish black fluid hovering in the space.

That was the first.

Then second... third... forth...

The Crustalades had all died?

”D-d-d-did a miracle happen? Did god decide to help us?” muttered one man.

”Quick!” The captain seemed to have thought of something, ”Turn on Photon-mode, now!”

Under photon mode they might have a limited vision, but the colors were richer. As the explosion had become a seeming firework upon regaining its colors. Beams were crossing and forming a colorful net engulfing the world ahead.

But no crew member had the attention on the scenery. They were all staring at that petite beauty at one corner.

It was a mech gorgeous as the butterfly, with a spread of rainbow wings adorned by glittering stars of liquid gold. It hovered in pride within the void, as it set its eyes upon the floating carcasses.

Two days.

Chaos itself had visited for two days, which caused several explosions across different ships. The pathway was almost clogged with all sorts of rubbles, be them from the spaceships or the mechs.

The progression was nearly zero on their course within the last two days, as they literally inched their way ahead. The beams of light remained dancing and Ye Chong had lost count of the number of Crustalades he had sliced.

It was the third day of visit by chaos itself.

Ye Chong started seeing a decrease in the number of Crustalades in the space.

Has it ended?

Wait, no!

He realized something... as goosebumps ran over his skin.

Instinct told him that the crucial moment which would determine the outcome of the war had arrived!

He waved at Rui Bing and zoomed ahead.
