Chapter 1019: I Don’t Want to See A the Slayer Ever Again!

Zeng…

Whoosh…

The beam saber missed. The Slayer immediately made a diagonal movement and attacked.

Annil’s endurance was much stronger than Lu Die’s. The energy shield blocked the attack, and Annil actually survived.

Di Maria was reeling in shock. His Ability X had not taken effect!

“Naïve,” Marzu said emotionlessly. No matter how high the quality of Ability X, it was still restricted to its level. Wang Zheng’s Earth-rank understanding was not weak. In terms of level, Di Maria was still far from him. He had naively believed that his Ability X could hold his opponent.

Wang Zheng could not ignore his opponent’s Ability X, but he could actively move to avoid the ability’s interference.

Di Maria came charging, but the Slayer retreated nimbly, letting the attack pass. A sidestep, then another attack. Another round of shots fired.

Three consecutive hits. The Imperial Guardian’s shield exploded, but the Slayer did not pursue, because Annil had already fallen.

He spun and fired three shots again, beating back the BS001 that was preparing an ambush behind him.

It was not that Wang Zheng did not want to attack. It was that Heracles had arrived.

Burning with black flames, the Phantom King was like the demon king from Hell.

Di Maria heaved his first sigh of relief. The BS001 and the Phantom King stood together. From that last clash, they had felt that Wang Zheng was not impervious to their abilities, but could negate them for a short period of time. Although they did not know how he had managed it, it probably took a large portion of his concentration. And against Heracles now, what would happen to him if his attention was divided?

“Heracles, I’ll suppress him. You find a chance to act!”

The two super mecha had been held back this long by a Slayer. To even need tactics… In any other competition, they would be laughed out of the battle. But no one was laughing now.

Wang Zheng’s situation did not look good. It was not Di Maria, but Heracles. And when they worked as one, things would get even stickier. The two of them had been on the same team for a while now, and had some synergy.

Faced with these two, the Slayer did not dodge, nor seek to draw distance. Instead, it stood lightly, bursting lasers angled downwards to the ground.

The mood grew heavy. Clearly, the real battle was about to start.

Heracles’ black flames roiled. The mech’s runes glowed even brighter. Heavy pressure crushed down on the Slayer from above.

Marzu and the rest frowned. Heracles’ Ability X undulations was of an Atlantean adult standard. It was already at B-rank.

A pillar of ice that rose to the skies…

Di Maria’s attack was actually stopped, his Ability X dissipating in an instant. The mech shut down.

From start to end, Heracles had not followed, because he had not agreed.

From start till now, Di Maria still had not realized the gravity of the situation. Imperial Glory still had not realized exactly what kind of fighter they were facing.

This was the strongest Earth-rank fighter Elite Academy X had ever known. An Earth-rank fighter full of battle experience.

Wang Zheng, through all the battles and training, had reached where he was today. Even Zhang Shan and the rest had improved, let alone Wang Zheng!

This was a truly horrifying fighter. How could a small fry like Di Maria ever hope to compete? His excellent Ability X could not be put to use at all.

True, close distance could bring out his Ability X best. But was he ignorant of how fearsome an Earth-rank fighter was at this distance!

And he had dared to make the first move. Wasn’t he just asking for it?

Frenzied frost energy immediately solidified. The reaction time of an Earth-rank was extremely quick. At least, non-Earth-rank fighters could not hope to master it, or even respond in time. Di Maria had no time to use his time reversal before he fell.

In the cockpit, Di Maria was frozen in sleep.

A pity. Wang Zheng had wanted to lure the Phantom King to act, but the Atlantean had not fallen for it.

The Atlantean was not moving. Clever. It was clear that he understood the situation. Given Heracles’ level, there was no way he could synergize with him. He would only be underfoot. But this was something Heracles could not say directly, so he had chosen an indirect explanation.

The Phantom King hovered. This could help the Phantom King’s movements leave even less of a trace.

Their two Ability Xs met, and it was clear that the Phantom King’s aura was stronger. He had the the Slayer well under control. This was a clear gap in their abilities, although he could not fully suppress him.

Zeng…

There was still a trace of an excited smile on Wang Zheng’s face. To a fighter, although ability was important, experience and worldliness were equally important. Because thanks to his experience, the Phantom King’s weakness was glaringly obvious to Wang Zheng.

SHING…

The Phantom King vanished. The final battle began!

Without question, the Phantom King’s dual body technique would completely defeat a mech with weaker defense. The Phantom King defeating the Slayer was like a hawk after a rabbit.

But two meters away from the Slayer, the Phantom King suddenly materialized…

His attack had failed!

Heracles had forgotten one thing. Wang Zheng also understood how the Phantom King worked. He erased the spiritual mark on himself so that the simultaneous attack would not occur.

The runic sword flashed out.

The Slayer moved sideways at the same time. BOOM…

A streak of black light flashed past. The building behind Wang Zheng… was cut in two.

From the side, the Slayer attacked, the burst laser booming.

The Phantom King disappeared, The building behind the Phantom King took three hits.

BOOM! RUMBLE… It immediately collapsed.

Both mecha had drawn a distance away.

The Slayer seemed frail, but the Phantom King was no heavy mech either.

These two mecha were inclined towards heavy offense and weak defense. If Heracles could firmly suppress Wang Zheng, then he was clearly at the level of an Earth-rank fighter. Faced with anyone else as an opponent, this terrifying pressure alone would make their legs weak. The mental control was something that the Atlanteans were indeed excellent at.

Which meant that at this distance, Wang Zheng could do nothing but take hits.

Even Marzu had not experienced such a battle before. He could not predict the outcome. The key was, he did not understand the choice of the Slayer. If it was a warrior-type mecha, he would not need to be placed in such a dilemma, considering their balanced capabilities.

The same questions were in Jiang Feng’s mind. Even for him, this was a difficult situation.

The Phantom King attacked again, knowing that those beautiful moves were useless. Heracles was not intending to finish him off in one attack. His advantage was obvious. He would cut his opponent to death gradually… one slash at a time!

BOOM…

That black light flashed out, and everyone broke out in a cold sweat. It was too terrifying. The Atlantean’s attack was not flashy or explosive. Instead, it possessed terrifying offensive power.

And this was the most fatal attack yet!

When the Phantom King lunged, the Slayer would dodge and draw back. While dodging, the burst laser gun would return fire.

Lightning speed Z movements with burst laser point shooting…

This was the undisputed technique of an invincible Slayer! Unless one could warp or suddenly vanish, this was an almost invincible strategy. The problem with such an attack was that it was difficult to use. While dodging and gauging the distance, one had to use the burst-specialized laser to fire precise volleys, which was extremely difficult.

This was a brain-fuddling issue that no attacker wanted to deal with, because it was too perverted. Executing one complete set would exhaust the pilot.

But Wang Zheng had done it. And it was an unbeatable strategy.

Heracles understood how this human attacked. The Phantom King could not warp. The warp needed time, and this delay would see him beaten a few times over.

The black runic shield activated. The Slayer’s attacks sank without creating the slightest ripple.

Heracles completely defended, then used his mental energy to suppress him again. Once he had control over the situation, the runic mech immediately split into two. He was smart about it. He immediately split and lunged at the Slayer. Whether Wang Zheng could tell if it was real or fake, he would have to take both heavy attacks due to the short delay!

At this level, there was no need to test one’s eyesight in determining the fake. It was about who was stronger and using their actions to determine victory!

Two Phantom Kings came at Wang Zheng. Two black blades swept out…

F*ck… Phantom Cross Seal!

Two swords sliced the air, using his mental ability to coordinate both the illusion and the real body. Heracles could do such an attack!

How could he avoid it?

Even if Wang Zheng avoided the attack, he could not counter. From the way the situation looked, based on Heracle’s mech advantage, he would eventually whittle Wang Zheng down. With a good rhythm, Wang Zheng could not retaliate.

Everyone’s eyes widened. See if Wang Zheng would gamble it all. The Slayer had already made its move, still cool without the slightest trace of fear.

Wang Zheng’s Slayer again moved in a Z… At the first step, the burst laser fired out to counter. By the second movement, the mech was already in an extreme state. He was in midair right now, and to fire again was of the highest difficulty. But after completing the third movement of the Z, he forcefully controlled his mech and fired a third burst.

This waist strength…

BOOM! RUMBLE…

The fearsome attack completely landed on the runic mech. The Phantom King’s runic shield was completely activated, which absorbed all of the energy.

Unbeatable!

The Phantom King still controlled the situation. How many times could Wang Zheng execute this high level move? How long could his stamina hold out?

In this battle, the slightest mistake would be fatal for Wang Zheng.

“Isn’t there a way to win against this runic shield?”

“The key is that attacks can’t even connect. A graze is a wound, and contact is death!”

“When did these Atlantean devils get so good?”

Wang Zheng’s ridiculous physical techniques left them shocked, but against such overwhelming suppression, the crowd was frustrated.

The audience was discussing. This seemed hopeless. The same attack played out once again but it was clear it was draining Wang Zheng out significantly. At this rate, Wang Zheng would be exhausted to death. The key was that his attacks were useless against his opponent.

But at this point, Marzu and Olivios exchanged a look. Evidently, they understood something.

This was why Wang Zheng had chosen the Slayer!

Earth-rankers had a method of fighting called: distance control from an invincible position!

Regardless of how powerful the opponent’s attack was, close or far, he could not be touched.

Just as everyone’s attention was hooked on how Wang Zheng’s Slayer was being chased and cornered by the Phantom King, those like Jiang Feng and Marzu saw this completely differently from the pros’ point of view.

The Slayer’s movements started to link up. He was actually moving in a zigzag circular pattern around the the Phantom King, keeping him in the centre. This was the ultimate display of distance control. The wind and lightning Ability Xs’ speed boosts helped him maintain distance. The Slayer’s movement was faster than the Phantom King’s. Ice and Fire Ability X complemented the burst lasers to continually batter the runic shield.

Calm, without the trace of smoke.

At this time, Jiang Feng was already completely at ease. Wang Zheng, at his level, could take the 12 Paths Challenge.

This was already the 20th time the attack repeated. Their surroundings had been blasted to smithereens by the Phantom King. The Phantom King’s every attack worried them. The runic mech’s every defense quelled their spirits.

It was unbelievable that Wang Zheng could hold out for so long. But he could fall at any time now. This seemed to be delaying the inevitable.

Wang Zheng’s 20th time making the same unnerving maneuver. Another volley of burst lasers!

Bo…

Heracles still could not completely avoid it. But no trouble. The runic energy shield ate another volley. The runic energy technology was not something that humans could break. This was not a simple drain. Wang Zheng’s idea was not bad, but too naïve…

WARB…

A change had finally appeared.

The runic shield was hit with the red and white energy, immediately returning black energy. BOOM…

That runic shield which had caused despair cracked…

This energy shield could crack!!!

Suddenly, Heracles was stunned. How could this be!?

Runic technology… how…

Wang Zheng’s mouth twitched. That was how the world was. When the road ended, one had to fly!

One must fly!

Any absorption must have a limit. But runic technology had a conversion mechanism. Otherwise, Heracles could not have held on for so long. Then he would give it something it could not take. Ice and fire combination. This was not something anybody could do. Especially against a runic system!

In that instant, the Slayer disappeared!

Instant disappearance, the ultimate dodge!

Not just evasion, but appearing in front of the runic mecha. S close!

Lightning speed boost + wind speed boost + powerful control!

In this instant, the Phantom King could not even swing his runic sword if he wanted to. They were too close. But the burst laser was virtually plastered to the hull of the Phantom King mech.

Body double? Illusion?

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM…

As the burst lasers boomed out, there was nothing left in Wang Zheng’s view.

In this nightmare battle, the battlefield had been levelled. The Slayer’s view was a world with no horizons.

The Phantom King, which had dominated the battlefield, crumbled.

In this moment, it seemed like a miracle.

The elation was completely different from the last battle. Now Wang Zheng felt strength in his peace!

At this moment, everyone was thinking that this had been a city terrain. With a more complicated terrain, wouldn’t Wang Zheng’s Slayer rule the world?
