Chapter 69: Unfathomable (Third Update)

~12 min read 2,258 words

The Dragon God Heavy Armor roared as it charged, the Titanium Blade thrusting directly at Robbie. Robbie's Dragon God E, however, executed an arc-cut close to the ground with a very low center of gravity, severing one leg, then used a backhand strike to finish off the off-balance Dragon God T, before instantly diving into a corridor without a moment's hesitation.

Steadying his breathing, a smile appeared at the corner of Robbie's mouth; the thrill had arrived. That move to slay Wuzang had been the most taxing; this kid was worthy of being a Supernova. He had almost been hit by a Flash Strike after playing a psychological tactic, but unfortunately, he was faster.

A few seconds later, the Dragon God Mecha moved silently once more, a technique of shutting down the engine and relying primarily on physical maneuvering to achieve maximum concealment of movement.

The safe zone was constantly shrinking, and with two Snipers and one Dragon God E, it was getting a bit difficult.

Zuo Xiaotang was also searching for the remaining one; clearly, the outcome was already decided, and his position had been discovered by Robbie. Zuo Xiaotang's willpower in this regard really couldn't be considered good, not even average.

When the Dragon God charged, Zuo Xiaotang had no room left to retreat; he fired one shot, which Robbie dodged, and was then killed instantly.

In just a few minutes, the Cougar team, which had looked like it was about to collapse, suddenly came back to life; Robbie was displaying his true level.

Now only Li Hao and Zhou Naiyi remained.

Li Hao's location was unknown, but Zhou Naiyi had already rushed over when Zuo Xiaotang was defeated; she was going to buy time for Li Hao.

Facing Zhou Naiyi's Dragon God E, the first response was Silence. At this moment, Robbie did not feel that kind of killing intent, so he was not within Li Hao's attack range.

At the speed of the Second Brother, it might only be a matter of seconds, perhaps even the very next second. In an instant, Robbie felt suffocating pressure and fear, yet what it awakened was an unprecedented desire to win.

He was the Team Leader of the Cougar team; there was no way back for him.

Kill!

The two Mobile Suits collided, meeting on a narrow path, both executing a Flash Strike simultaneously. Robbie's Titanium Blade locked onto the edge of Zhou Naiyi's blade, and with a harsh, grating sound, sparks flew everywhere as the Titanium Blade sliced directly in along Zhou Naiyi's Titanium Blade.

At this moment, Robbie's pupils turned slightly red, and his strength surged abruptly. Seeing that the offensive was about to wane, he let out a wild roar. The mecha emitted a creaking, banging sound, and the terrifying force directly overwhelmed Zhou Naiyi. The Titanium Blade sliced in ruthlessly, tearing through the opponent's Dragon God chassis.

Swish, swish...

Two-stage Cross Slash!

Boom...

Robbie, who had slashed open the Dragon God, felt no joy; that feeling had arrived!

But he was no longer afraid. An unprecedented fighting spirit enveloped his heart; he could win!

Not to mention the Tianjing side, the members of the Cougar team were also clenching their fists tightly. Honestly, after being beaten to a pulp, the group from the Cougar team felt a bit dazed.

They had already caught a familiar scent; the Sniper on the opposite side was the very person they had hired to boost their rank.

But so what? The opponent was just the Tianjing Second Team. Although they had been caught off guard, a loss was a loss.

And at this moment, Robbie had stepped up, slaying four people in a row. This was their Team Leader. The reason Robbie had the nickname Mad Lion was that in battles against the NUP, the more hopeless the situation, the more unimaginable his fighting spirit became. That spirit of "risking one's life to unseat the emperor" had conquered quite a few people.

This time, the Team Leader was going to face this person head-on.

Robbie's Dragon God Mecha retreated immediately, engines at full throttle, to first shake off that feeling of being constrained by a disadvantage.

Everyone in Tianjing was focused with full attention; the situation was clearly unfavorable. Li Hao had found Robbie, but Robbie had also discovered Li Hao's position. A Mad Lion, fully focused and in his strongest state, was hunting.

The feeling of challenging Li Hao stimulated Robbie to the extreme. Yes, this was a feeling outsiders couldn't comprehend. Five years ago, during that tragedy, Robbie had been one of the participants. He had been knocked to the ground, severely injured, and unable to fight back, watching helplessly as Nangong was killed, until Li Hao arrived. That posture of a demon god descending remained deeply etched in his mind.

That was his goal, his idol, and now he had a sliver of a chance to win!

The two mechas were separated by a street, constantly chasing. The performance of the Gray Reaper was clearly inferior to the Dragon God, but the Dragon God was the one running?

Shouldn't it be the Dragon God chasing the Gray Death?

The team members on both sides were full of questions. Wuzang and Laierxisi also couldn't understand. Clearly, Robbie's state was super strong, and at such a distance, with both sides having discovered each other's positions, the Dragon God held an absolute advantage. Why not charge?

Ye Tong was also watching intently. As a bystander, she was always the most clear-headed. At the beginning, both were holding back. In fact, she knew that Li Hao letting Huo Ying go first was a way to demonstrate teamwork, to give Huo Ying confidence, and at the same time to see his level. She was just doing it on purpose, specifically to make Li Hao less comfortable.

But Robbie slaying Wuzang and Zhou Naiyi in succession changed the flavor of things. If she wasn't mistaken, Robbie should have entered the Golden Zone!

Since S10, it was the realm every Mobile Suit pilot dreamed of, the strongest state. But why run?

Robbie wasn't running; he was looking for an opportunity. Li Hao wasn't afraid of him at all. From the oppressive force that had just enveloped him, he could clearly feel that the opponent intended to attack. The so-called favorable or unfavorable conditions did not exist among top-tier experts; what was more important was intuition. So he ran, and Li Hao would definitely chase.

In a charge across a city block, the Gray Death could definitely fire four shots. Robbie had to choose the best opportunity. Li Hao's Matrix Point-Shot blind-sniping was no joke. In the post-match analysis, it had been shocking to Robbie; this kind of blind-firing had reached an outrageous level. But he had the confidence to dodge three shots; once those three shots passed, it would be his chance.

During the constant pursuit, they were fast approaching the end of the block; this was the narrowest point between them.

This was the opportunity Robbie was waiting for. The red tint in Robbie's pupils was also becoming increasingly vivid.

Swish...

The Dragon God flew out, and the Gray Reaper that appeared on the opposite side fired. Blind-sniping—Matrix Point-Shot!

Boom...

Boom, boom...

Three consecutive shots. The Dragon God Mecha used an arc-step to dodge the first shot, a low-center-of-gravity dive to dodge the second, and tilted its head to dodge the third. Paper Dodge—everyone watching was dumbfounded.

Super-strong insight. It could be said that the feeling at this moment was as wonderful as a "God Experience Card." Everything around him was exceptionally clear, his movements followed his heart, and in this unprecedented combat state, only one thought remained in his mind—defeat him!

There was no time to fire a fourth shot. The Dragon God's movement had barely been affected while dodging. If the Gray Reaper insisted on firing a fourth shot, unless it was an instant kill, how could a Gray face a Dragon God?

Mad Lion Robbie's Dragon God!

Swish...

The Gray Reaper retreated backward, entering the blind spot of a building. It retreated, but for the Dragon God, it was just a matter of turning a corner. Once it turned the corner, the Gray Reaper would still have to die.

Theoretically, the Gray still had one chance, and that was to catch the Dragon God with a peek-shot.

Of course, Robbie knew this too. His eyes felt this intense threat and killing intent, while at the same time, his inner desire for victory had reached its peak. To defeat the idol he had once worshipped!

The people from the Cougar team were clenching their fists tightly. Previously, this Sniper had fought alongside them, but now he had become an opponent. That feeling was too terrifying, too easy to form psychological trauma. But as long as the Team Leader could take him down, everything would turn into the Cougar team's confidence. It was absolutely possible!

As for the Tianjing side, it was dead silent. The Dragon God's speed and momentum had reached their peak. Robbie could dive, could use arc-steps, could jump and fly—all sorts of choices. At this distance, he could even use a Charge Laser; the close-range effect was much better than sniping.

N types of methods, all in a single thought.

Boom...

????

Match over.

Tianjing WIN.

The Dragon God was sniped to death???

"What the f*ck is going on!" Mier Sannan let out a hysterical, wild roar, completely out of control.

Because the Dragon God Mecha hadn't even rushed past the corner before it was shot dead!

Mier Sannan was the first to react, directly pulling up the final step.

……

Arc Shot!

This is no fresh skill; it is a fancy technique created by a top Sniper from the NUP, which first spread from the Xuni Qu and was later used by someone during EMP training.

In other words, the bullet curves.

First of all, a Laser Gun cannot curve, but a heavy sniper rifle can, which means one must perform a flick shot.

Due to gravity, the flight trajectory of a bullet is like an arrow; it is inherently arc-shaped, but under the influence of speed, it gives us the impression that the bullet is flying in a straight line.

If someone can provide enough velocity the instant the gun is fired, the bullet will trace an arc. After the Golden Gene awakens, all of this becomes possible. The earliest practice video was provided by a top Moon Sniper, causing a huge sensation. Few people could do it, and for a time, it was hotly debated as the ceiling technique for god-tier snipers. However, after repeated research, it was discovered that while it is cool and the show-off effect is maxed out, the precision and timing—the most important things for a Sniper—cannot be controlled. In other words, it lacks practical combat utility, which is very awkward for a Sniper. Furthermore, what makes it painful is that most Mecha, after enduring such intense flick shots, suffer a wheelbase fracture and will also lose an arm.

A desperate struggle? A lucky moment of throwing caution to the wind?

……It was a fluke, right?

This guy's luck is just too good.

……There is a high probability that this cannot be controlled…… right?

The members of the Cougar team were a bit shocked, a bit unconvinced, and also carried a bit of Dandan's sorrow, because it was that person—what if? When did Earth produce such a person?

Luo Bi did not know if he was shocked or what, but after a long while, the red in his pupils slowly faded, and his eyes returned to normal, revealing gratitude.

If Luo Bi had really cleared the level easily, his Golden ZONE might have flashed by; perhaps it would appear again in the future, but it might also never appear again. This exquisite feeling has a large component of luck, but Li Hao, at the moment he felt it most intensely, forcibly killed him, allowing this feeling to be abruptly frozen—deeply engraved while also carrying strong unwillingness and desire.

It is just like venting anger; if you vent it completely, the anger is gone. But now, this energy, this feeling, remains permanently on Luo Bi. As long as he continues to strengthen it later, he will slowly and completely master the use of the Golden ZONE.

Of course, there is still a distance between comprehending the Golden ZONE and mastering it completely like Dita; it requires more practice.

Others might think this was accidental, but Luo Bi knew that Second Brother must have done it on purpose. No need to ask why; he understood completely that these past few years had not made Second Brother weaker, but instead stronger—stronger to a realm he could no longer comprehend. It was just that compared to before, Second Brother, having experienced so many miserable things, had restrained his edge. Damn it, it's all the fault of those bastards.

"Consolidate it. Don't participate in the subsequent battles; let the team members practice more," Li Hao said.

"Alright, Second Brother. I want to go to Tianjing to see you this weekend. We haven't gathered in a long time; let's have a drink together," a strong impulse surged in Luo Bi's heart.

"Haha, sure. But I don't have much money; I can't afford to treat you to anything expensive," Li Hao laughed. "Everyone, rest for ten minutes before fighting again."
