A meteor shower fell from the sky, like countless tearful eyes. Wisps of smoke pervaded the earth, two mechas ceaselessly dueling on a blood-colored battlefield...

A halo sprung around Revenge Shadow Rider, its alloy blade wildly flailing, scattering light that flared into the void.

A black panther danced alongside it, each clash sparking an ephemeral burst of light between them, blossoming like blooming flowers.

The black panther was like an agile hunter, testing Revenge Shadow Rider's defenses, teetering on the edge of success but narrowly evading each time.

Clang, clang, clang...

The Flying Steel Claw and alloy blade continually collided. The retreating Revenge Shadow Rider began to reel slightly backward, oppressed, though its defeat was not yet evident. As long as no catastrophe befell it, such as a seizure or operator error, the rider could persist for quite a while.

The nonstop collisions were a nerve-wracking spectacle. Many mechas could use two legs, but it was rare to find a rider who could use them as masterly as this. The audience rooted for Revenge Shadow Rider to go even further.

Over time, after countless attempts, the black panther found small breaches in the Rider's defense and began widening them.

Revenge Shadow Rider was undoubtedly powerful, but it did have two clear weaknesses: its avoidance of ranged weapons hinted at a lack of confidence in its marksmanship. As the battles progressed, the red flames of war subtly probed the Rider's ability to withstand force.

The old saying "spare a thought for the aftermath in a fight" bears a certain wisdom: the rider could endure an average of four times gravity, well within its limits. If cornered, it could potentially withstand a sixfold increase, strong enough to finish off the Rider. When such an attack came from the red flames, the rider would undoubtedly be utterly destroyed.

Suddenly, as if possessed by a demon, Revenge Shadow Rider took a step back, quickly putting distance between itself and Phantom Knight 0001, then started circling the knight with increasing speed.

Dust rose from the ground as the creature sped up. The red flames exploited the war-beast mecha's superior agility, unmatched by Phantom Knight even as it pushed its own limits.

Uncertain of the opponent's intent, Feng Yi relaxed his body but his senses heightened, observing the opponent intently.

The red flames were a military entity, a real warrior, unyielding in face-to-face combat and experienced in conservative, risk-free warfare. To defeat such an enemy, one needed to seize the moment—they would explose no obvious weakness.

Onlookers could not count the number of times the red flames circled around, perhaps tens, likely hundreds. By now, even if it could keep its bearings, staring at every move of the moves of the war-beast would make any Shadow Rider dizzy.

The data showed the perceived gravity on the Red Flames had reached 6.5 times, though Revenge Shadow Rider could not sense this. It could only estimate based on the force of the collisions.

Theoretically, the rider could keep up with the beast, but it would consume much more energy. Due to the constraints of the mecha, accelerating while turning exerted much more pressure on the Rider than on the beast.

Thud, thud, thud... A volley of silent 105-caliber shotguns fired from the war-beast's maw.

The speed of the beast was almost flying. Everyone's attention was on it, not on the immobile Revenge Shadow Rider. It seemed to be thinking about everything except battle, and no one noticed the shotgun.

Through slow-motion replay, when the crisis struck and everyone realized the shotgun was rapidly concentrating on Revenge Shadow Rider, it was too late.

Such an attack was impossible to avoid. Everything was going according to the red flame's script, as it seized Revenge Shadow Rider's only escape route and blocked it.

Now, it was about to withstand the beast's maximum attack, accelerated by 6.5 times gravity.

"This guy, he's something..." Gazing at the approaching beast, Feng Yi lowered his hands from the mecha controls. He didn't care about the outcome of the battle.

Those who came to gloat laughed. Revenge Shadow Rider was a lonely warrior. It sat still, affecting depth and aloofness until it foolishly trapped itself. More people fell into despair! To be honest, everyone came to watch Phantom Knight 0001 battle. Red War might be strong, but there were definitely others stronger.

Meanwhile, through the loudspeakers, Red War's voice was saying, "Maybe there's someone out there who can beat me, but that all ends here. You lost when you chose your machine."

What kind of arrogant victory declaration was that?

The players on Phantom Knight 0001's team had no response. Their eyes flashed with despair, their mouths tasted bitter. One by one, they lowered their heads as if in reflection.

Yes, it wasn't Revenge Shadow Rider who lost the battle, it was Phantom Knight 0001. The chance for revenge seemed to be slipping away. People didn't really care about defeat, it was the collapse of their faith. Rarely was a Shadow Rider made speechless by a comment.

The Revenge Shadow Rider faced certain death, with shotgun fire at its back and Red War closing in from the front. It had failed!

Boom...

A wave of air rolled over, and the light screen turned instantly into a sea of fire. A deafening explosion engulfed the battlefield, and everyone watched the smoke-filled battlefield in stunned silence... Most of Phantom Knight's hard-core fans had already left! Damn, I'm going home to drown my sorrows with a couple of bottles, they thought. What's there to see in a lost battle?

When the smoke cleared, it was true that he had lost. The result shown in the video stunned everyone for several seconds...

One mecha slowly rose from the scorched earth, while the other was reduced to ashes in the explosion.

"He is..." began the official commentator, drawing out his syllables and looking closely at the player ID as if he were about to put the final period on this helpless battle.

"Revenge Shadow Rider! Revenge Shadow Rider wins! The victor is Revenge Shadow Rider!" The commentator shouted the ID of Revenge Shadow Rider with an almost roaring tone.

What the...? Did I hear that wrong? Some people were rubbing their eyes, some were dumbstruck, some had only just got up and, before their seats had the chance to cool, sat right back down in disbelief, their eyes fixed on the virtual screen.

The Netizens who supported Phantom Knight 0001 looked at the mecha model and carefully observed Revenge Shadow Rider's ID. No mistake, it was indeed Revenge Shadow Rider. Shouldn't he have been blown up? How did he do it? After a long time, the guy was already silent. This kind of silence was often scarier than an eruption.

The official website didn't make everyone wait too long. The screen quickly gave a closeup replay of the entire fight...

At that moment, Revenge Shadow Rider had been in a desperate situation. When the beast made contact with the Rider, it stumbled back.

The problem occurred in that instant of falling backwards. As it toppled, a swift Thomas Cyclone Kick appeared, locking onto the beast and using rotational force to toss the Red War to the back. As the move finished, the shotgun arrived, and the beast ended up serving as a shield for Revenge Shadow Rider.

"Thomas Cyclone Kick..." The words escaped from countless mouths. God! The Thomas Cyclone Kick was a high-level maneuver only an expert pilot could execute.
