Chapter 858: On the Edge
Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas
Rumble…
Magnetic-Piercing Laser!
The same moves, the same shocking strength. No matter how fast the Unbounded mech was, there was no way to avoid the huge blow, and it ended up being blasted onto the wall, causing Lear’s vision to be blurred.
Rumbling sounds could be heard…
When he regained consciousness, all he could see was darkness.
On the battlefield, there was only Olivios’ Slayer.
The Asura!
To touch on lightly, the opponent was decimated till nothing was left.
In the Elite Academy, all the people of the Arbiter Republic stood up for the military salute. The more cool and calm they were, the more desperate the opponent was.
All this while, everyone knew that Olivios was ruthless and would go for it using his sheer might. And for Lear and Lie Xin who came from the Solar System, they both had strong physical techniques and their respective Ability X was powerful as well. With the two of them working together, there was no way Olivios could win. But yet Olivios had chosen a mech that Dynasty Battle Team could not beat.
The Slayer, if one could not even get near it, it would be useless regardless of how strong one’s physical techniques could be.
Victory was within his reach… All the sighs and regrets, they were all inevitable, for there was another sniper in Arbiter Republic that had not showed off his capabilities.
All these while people had felt that although Olivios was powerful, it was only in one particular aspect, where he was brave but yet he was someone that one could go against with. And after witnessing Olivios’s Slayer, those who had initially thought so would probably rest their case. It was terrifying.
If there were still people who had the idea that Olivios was simple-minded and merely had a good physique after watching this match, they would be better off dead.
From the very beginning, Olivios had chosen tactically and had fulfilled his tactical objectives. As long as he got rid of the two Mayan fighters, everything would be under his control. As for the support equipment, he did not need it. He had no intention to get tangled with the two Solar System individuals who were skilled in physical combat techniques. And the Slayer did not give the opponent any room to play to his advantage. Well, one could say that this move was completely beyond Lear’s expectation.
The cheers and applause resounded through the audience, where the military schools from the respective nations still gave Asura Battle Team a big round of applause after getting back their composure.
At this point, there was only one thought that ran through everyone’s minds, whether Imperial Glory Battle Team was able to rule over the Arbiter Republic.
And now it was even more difficult to go against Olivios.
At the same time, Olivios had shown everyone that the Slayer could be used in this way.
While waiting for the members of Asura Battle Team
to walk off, everyone felt intimidated. There were several forms of instability within the Battle Team itself, such as the impulsiveness of Sweeney. Well, although the other positions in the Battle Team were outstanding, they were not unbreakable. This was already proven by Dynasty Battle Team, but the frightening one was Olivios, who was formidable in all aspects ranging from his tactics to his individual abilities.
Based on his combat abilities, and the addition of his invisibility Ability X for a short period of time, he was invincible and there was no way one could defeat him.
Obviously, despite having the same effect, Olivios’s ability X was far superior to that of Sweeney. But then again, the effect could not be compared in the same way. Olivios ability X had the potential to cause tons of damage.
Everyone was intoxicated by the battle, but only he remained sober and clear-headed.
At the beginning of the second round, Asura Battle Team had already given off the domineering aura of the strongest contender
It was a pity for Dynasty Battle Team, but it was not necessarily a failure. The battle had pushed Asura Battle Team onto the edge, forcing Olivios to show his killer moves and this was a reflection of Dynasty Battle Team’s combat strength. Even up till the end, it was only a small difference between both Battle Teams.
Regardless of emerging as winners or losers, both Battle Teams were given a big round of applause and cheers from the crowd. But for the other Battle Teams, this was not something to be happy about.
Well, Asura Battle Team who had emerged victorious had put on an incredible performance, and Dynasty Battle Team was equally intimidating. The Mayan attackers positions, the two physical technique maniacs from the Solar System, as well as an incredibly nasty scout, it was problematic and uncomfortable for the other Battle Teams. ,
The MVP of this match was definitely Olivios. He was also a strong contender for the King of the Strongest.
If he could receive this title here, it would really be well-deserved. He had fully demonstrated his personal capabilities, combat tactics and leadership abilities, and no one could argue on this.
Both Battle Teams had went all out to put on a spectacular match in the first round, and the second round was just about to begin.
This time, it was Saruman Snake Battle Team led by Wang Zheng going against the Eagle Battle Team once again. The two Battle Teams have had the opportunity to learn from each other previously, before the start of the Tyrannical Clash of Kings, but both Battle Teams were not of the strongest quality. And this match would be one whereby they had to go all out. Eagle Battle Team had lost with much regrets the previous time, and they definitely had to win this round. It was clear from the expressions of the members of Eagle Battle Team, that this was the battleground for the Federal Republic of Manalasuo.
Saruman Snake Battle Team vs. Eagle Battle Team
Zhang Shan (Wind God) vs. Bebeto (Dragon Fang)
Takumi (Desolate Steel Beast) vs.
Roybad(Dragon Scale)
Achilles (Heavenly Dragon Spear) vs. Dendi (Dragon God)
Wang Zheng (Golden Wheel Battle King) vs. Zhou Yu
(Golden Wheel Battle King)
Snow Li
(Icy Arrow) vs. Cassia (Dragon Eye Fighter)
The lineup of Saruman Snake Battle Team had left the masses dumbfounded. Vincent, one of the main players in charge of attacking, had put on a spectacular performance that was second to Wang Zheng the previous round, was nowhere to be found. Could it be that he was suspended?
Thanks to Vincent, the Battle Team had attracted several Manalasuo supporters. But now that they were up against Eagle Battle Team, it was pretty sure most of their supporters would have switched sides. This was even more likely to happen since Vincent wasn’t included this time round.
This arrangement that was made by Wang Zheng had taken several factors into consideration. On one hand, it gave Achilles the opportunity to debut, and on the other hand, it prevented Vincent from undergoing too much pressure.
This lineup was actually conceptualized by Wang Zheng on the spot, as he was excited upon seeing Olivios’s Slayer.
Olivios sat at the side. Although the expression in his eyes were calm, deep inside he had approved of his own performance. Before the IG, he did not have any idea on how to use the Slayer. All these while, he was only using mecha that were unrestrained and allowed him to bring into play his capabilities. But after a long time, he was unable to progress further and he could feel it too. No matter how he had tried to increase the intensity of his training or whatsoever, he was not making significant progress. But during the IG, it was different as Wang Zheng’s all-rounded performance was an eye-opener for Olivios. He had learned that he should try something new, instead of isolating himself from the world outside and not work behind closed doors anymore. Perhaps by meeting people with different styles and background, it would then create new possibilities and opportunities.
Well, this was an obvious effect. Ordinary servicemen would focus on a particular direction, but for experts like Olivios, he could not feel anything after reaching a certain level of mastery. Changing to another mech, using the Overlord or other types of mecha, would give him a different experience altogether. This was the true meaning of knowing your enemy and knowing yourself.
Olivios was a combat genius, where his mastery of the Slayer had already reached an extremely high level. And this would probably discourage many hopefuls who were aiming for the attacker positions.
At this point, Wang Zheng had chosen the Golden Wheel Battle King, it was a little different from the rest.
“What? Senior Wang Zheng also knows how to use this mech?”
“Isn’t that typically used by the people of Manalasuo?”
“You fool, weren’t you listening to Professor La Tu? The combat style of the Golden Wheel Battle King was discovered by Wang Zheng during the IG.”
“Are you serious? Discovering the strategy, and using it himself is two separate matters isn’t it?”
“Erm… you have a point there.”
Both Saruman Snake Battle Team and Eagle Battle Team had refused to give in to each other, as the two Battle Teams had belonged to the group of Battle Teams that were not highly regarded. It was understandable that Eagle Battle Team had lost to the Asura the previous round. This round, it was time for them to prove their worth and show everyone their capabilities.
