Looking up, I saw the Dark Archangel raise the Light Shield in defense against an attack.
The scene immediately erupted!
What kind of maneuver was this? A preemptive counter without any apparent reason, swiftly knocking down the opponent's bullets, and in a moment where it was impossible to accurately determine the opponent's location, executing a 5-hit counterattack with such precision it was practically jaw-dropping.
Margaret was also shocked. She slowly lowered the Light Shield and abruptly asked, "Who on earth are you?"
TK: "..."
"It was hard to understand why Her Highness insisted I treat this battle with such caution, but now I'm starting to get it. Announce your name."
TK's gaze was electric, and from the speakers came his somewhat deep voice, "I am me, a traveler from the Death Desert. An identity is just a codename. Rather than these, should we not be enjoying the battle itself?"
"There's no such thing as enjoying a battle. What's needed is to destroy the enemy with the quickest means, your answer is quite laughably boring."
"Everyone has something they adhere to. There are many reasons to choose to fight, be it for values or hobbies or responsibilities. A warrior without a soul is just a shell."
"Hmph! Often it is the weaker ones who use this kind of talk as an excuse. It seems you are no different."
Margaret spoke and in an instant began a long-range suppression of the Desert Storm, hiss hiss hiss boom boom boom... A sky filled with rockets winged with main cannon fire engulfed Sha Meng's mecha in smoke and fire, turning the beautiful rainforest into a hell on earth.
However, the suppression was futile. When the smoke cleared, the roaming storm didn't seem to be affected in the slightest, and the monitor showed that the Desert Storm's bodily functions hadn't changed at all.
Possessing actual skills, Margaret's attempt at suppression failing, she let go and drew her light saber in a roar, hacking down fiercely, only for her weapon to be blocked by the Desert Storm moments before it could penetrate the cockpit, with a twist of the wrist the saber was flung away, and at the same time, with a brutal charge and a loud bang, the two mechas collided hard, at that instant the screen showed the Desert Storm withstanding an impact 30 times greater.
The opponent moved too quickly, Margaret caught off guard was blasted away before she could react, Sha Meng's mecha only taking a slight half step back due to recoil.
He did not pursue, nor did he show more desire for attack, as if he were waiting for the opponent to play their last card.
Diya saw confusion on the faces of the audience... What is happening here? Margaret's mecha was high spec, and she was up against an unknown nobody, why was she the one at a disadvantage? This was unscientific and illogical.
A giant question mark loomed before everyone. Why? Who was he, really? Without a real fight, you'll never know how high the sky is or how vast the earth is. When the host posed these questions to Grand, people heard news as shocking as a volcanic eruption.
Grand declared he didn't know the identity of this person, but, there were rumors about a top wanted criminal called Desert Storm, who was also listed among the ten top White Coats in the world. If he guessed correctly, this mysterious individual may well be TK, the man known as Desert Storm – a man capable of standing toe-to-toe with the Revenge Shadow Rider, and like him, belonged to the explosive fighters. According to Grand's speculation, Desert Storm was the only other top explosive fighter aside from Revenge Shadow Rider.
Grand also chuckled, suggesting that Margaret had always wanted a challenge against a top fighter, and this was actually the perfect opportunity. As for the Revenge Shadow Rider, she should defeat Desert Storm first, implying that she was likely stopped right there.
As for the advantage of the mecha, a top fighter would not be hindered by their mecha. Anyone who had reached this level could fight in any model that was not too outdated, like the 0001, and as long as the opponent was not of the same caliber, it didn't really matter what model they piloted.
Margaret wasn't convinced, she just couldn't accept it. Both being White Coats, why was it like this? She suddenly controlled her mecha to soar into the sky and charged at Desert Storm again, the attack was bullet-fast, several times quicker than before, and the big screen showed that in that instant Margaret was experiencing the same gravitational acceleration as Desert Storm.
Clang.
Even with Sha Meng's massive mecha, it took a slight half-step back when blocking, but that's all, the Dark Archangel could not advance further. However, with the advantage of her mecha, the Dark Archangel showed far greater adaptability on the battlefield than Sha Meng, pausing only for an instant before countless light and shadows rained down, seeming to enshroud Sha Meng in indistinguishable ripples.
Clang clang clang... a series of metallic roars as if transformed into an endless steel serenade, echoed through the depths of the rainforest for a long time...
Indeed, it was Margaret, her movements seemed to be even faster than those of Desert Storm, with an average sustained hand speed reaching 700 beats per minute, a skill level that often reflects true hand speed performance, and with her mecha's advantage, even as the Desert Storm's mecha endured a continuous barrage of strikes, it trembled violently.
"Counterattack then. The top explosive warrior of the legends doesn't seem so extraordinary after all," Margaret taunted.
As Margaret's voice reached them, Diya and the audience seemed to see hope anew. Yes, at that moment, Sha Meng's mecha was indeed being restrained by the Dark Archangel.
