Chapter 831 - The Ace that broke the Academy’s Record
Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas
“Boss, it seemed that they are doing things in desperation now. Heavenly Dragon Spear? I have never seen Achilles use it previously...” Luo Fei didn’t complete his sentence and couldn’t continue. This was because Lear’s expression had changed from the relaxed look previously to a serious one now.
Ka Tao and La Tu were also present. As the professor of the Battle Strategy Research department, La Tu had a very important say in the teams that were selected. What he wanted to choose was the best in individual strength and team’s strength. Obviously potential was also very important. As a professor, there were more things he had to consider and balance.
The first seven teams were easy to choose but the last team was truly a little difficult. His personal inclination was towards Saruman Snake but the objections from other professors were a little loud. This was still mainly because their records weren’t great. In comparison, some traditional powerhouses were more suitable. However what La Tu attached more importance to was their growth and potential and not these records. Moreover, the Academy needed more of such combined teams so as to provide opportunities to more students. If it was monopolised by those strong countries, it would go against the intention of the school.
However, all these had to be decided through strength.
Just when they were going to start, this side had chosen a pile of non-mainstream mecha. Wang Zheng as the soul and core of the team was also not among them. This had caused La Tu to be a little worried.
Ka Tao on the other hand was introducing the 2 sides fluently. Other than other battle teams, there were quite a number of students who came to spectate.
“Takumi, finish them! Use your invincible huge ass to flatten them!”
The match had just started and there was already a person jumping out and shouting. He was Takumi’s best brother Long Ma. Long Ma had come from the Versailles Empire and could be considered to be a big country. They also had the hopes of obtaining the last slot. However Long Ma’s personality was a little non-mainstream. He had never joined a battle team.
This type of ‘bare battle’ mode wasn’t unfamiliar to the members of the Eagle battle team. There wasn’t much cover for both sides and not much space to manoeuvre. It could really be considered as two teams meeting on a narrow path.
Cassia, the sniper, immediately moved back. The sniper position was about keeping themself ‘free and clean’ and let the others be involved in the mess of the battle.
Bebeto led the other 3 people and moved ahead in a diamond formation. The heavy armoured Dragon’s Scale was at the tip. On the left was the scout, Chris, and the free warrior Bebeto was on the right side. Lagging behind was Zhou Yu’s Golden Wheel.
Once the match had started, they had seized the momentum and charged towards their opponent. The battle strategy intention was very clear. In this type of battle scenario, it was similar to an encounter battle in practical battles. There was no room for retreat and had to compete in terms of their responses.
As for Saruman Snake, it would seem that their preparations weren’t as ample. Snow Li, the sniper, seemed to know to move backwards to open up some distance to prevent the opponent’s scout from advancing.
As for the rest... they had all separated. The middle route was totally opened. The attack had not started and yet everyone had dispersed. This...
La Tu couldn’t help but frown. The only thing that the Saruman Snake battle team did correctly was to switch on all their energy shields. As for the rest...
The heavy armoured Steel Desolate Beast seemed to be thinking of protecting the sniper. This thinking was correct. However in this type of encounter battles, what use would a heavy armoured warrior have if he stayed at the back?
Vincent had also shifted to the side and retreated. Zhang Shan, the scout, had also retreated on the left flank, leaving Achilles in the middle. The free warrior was exposed in the middle head-on.
The Heavenly Dragon Spear was truly an elegant mech. The production of mecha from the Moon wasn’t a lot and weren’t part of those mecha that were mass produced. That long spear was truly cool and had the engravings of a dragon. It seemed as though there was something behind it. However truthfully speaking, a battle wasn’t a walkway and there was no use if one could only pose well.
Eagle battle team was a mature team. A mature team would never give its opponent any chance.
Attacks were launched immediately and concentrated on Achilles. Achilles immediately dodged. At the same time, he used the round shield on his hand to block the laser attacks. However, his opponents were closing the distance between them. The lasers were mainly to exhaust and destroy the shield. Close combat would be the decisive part. It was at least such a case at this level. It would be childish to hope for a kill with just a few shots.
The students could see it even clearer. The whole situation was in front of them. The formation of the Eagle battle team was tight and reasonable while the Saruman Snake battle team was completely divided.
La Tu also couldn’t help but force a smile. This was a little too disappointing. There were a few student all’s he had high hopes for. Why did they become so childish once they were in a team battle? It would be better for them to lose after resisting with all their might than this.
The mech was dodging at the very last moment. The situation of Achilles was critical. Even the best at defence wouldn’t be able to defend against such attacks. His energy shield was getting weaker.
However at this moment, a thunderous sound propagated throughout.
Just when the Eagle battle team was concentrating their attacks on Achilles, the Steel Desolate Beast had started to move forward. However, no one would have paid special attention to the changes to a heavy armoured warrior. They had thought that he had felt remorseful and finally realised his responsibility as a meat shield.
However at this moment, the Steel Desolate Beast had darted out like a bullet directly into the Eagle battle team’s formation.
Between Bebeto and Chris, one of them was the free warrior while the other was the scout, who had the fastest reaction. However, Zhou Yu’s Golden Wheel had missed the opportunity as he was too focused on Vincent. As for Roybad... similarly as a heavy armoured warrior, did Takumi think that he was really a bullet?!
Roybad’s reaction was very outstanding and immediately blocked Takumi’s charge by putting himself in front of the Golden Wheel. As long as he could withstand it, what awaited Takumi was only death.
However...
Boom...
The Steel Desolate Beast that was shining in yellow light seemed to have let out an angry roar like a monster front the Abyss.
The sky crumbled and the earth split.
This was the impact from the Steel Desolate beast mech combined with Takumi’s power of the Earth.
The Dragon’s Scale was able to withstand it but it couldn’t stop the impact. The Dragon’s Scale and Golden Wheel were sent flying at the same time.
Almost instantly, the passive Heavenly Dragon Spear who was at the receiving ends of the attacks lunged ahead forcefully. The long spear in his hand was thrown out.
Even so, Bebeto and Chris still reacted. They only had a scare. Why did he throw his weapons away?
However in the next instance, the Heavenly Dragon Spear descended from the sky... Achilles’ gravitational Ability.
Boom...
When the Heavenly Dragon Spear held on to the long spear, Achilles seemed to be revived. This was the glory of the Heavenly King Family and was succeeded from that unparalleled existence.
Gravitational Field full control!
The two mecha was attracted to the side of Achilles instantly... However, was he seeking death?
Gravitational force also couldn’t kill any one.
Gravitational force couldn’t kill anyone but the Golden Wheel could.
The Golden Wheel and Vincent were like a gust of wind and the attacks that seemed like the scythe of Death.
Two golden wheels were thrown out. One of it was heading towards the two mech controlled by Achilles while the other towards the two mecha controlled by Takumi.
At this moment, Zhang Shan had used 3 consecutive space warp followed by utilising the 2 Magnetic Sources and reached the front of the sniper.
Although Cassia was a famous sniper and was a beautiful girl, her weakness was in close combat.
Zhang Shan’s unique 3 warps and 2 quick displacements was the best of its kind in the world!
Boom... Boom boom boom boom...
historical
With the consecutive explosions from the field, those on the spectator seats who were still whispering previously had all quietened down.
Eagle battle team... Completely eradicated.
An elegant Ace had also created the fastest Ace battle in the records of the Academy.
