Chapter 251 Crimson Rush.
The team was shocked, Shi Lang was buried under the debris from the wall that collapsed over him from the impact. Milo said, “The vitals are normal.”
They shifted their focus from Shi Lang to the figure that sent him flying. A lizardman, as tall as three meters was standing in the square, holding Hit’s body, and roaring. The lizardman roared and cursed in their native language, Hawk said, “This guy is very angry and sad. Pity.”
The taller lizardman stood up, placed Hit on the ground, and snarled a few things to Kun as he turned his head to charge at Shi Lang, he only wished to tear apart that Terran limb by limb, however, his dreams were not going to be fulfilled so easily.
Shi Lang moved slightly and after clearing the debris over him, he sat up in a leisurely manner. His visor was damaged and cracked. He raised his hand and took off the broken visor. He said, “Milo, the visor needs to be updated, the rest of the suit is working fine.”
Milo, who stood at the edge of the cliff, almost did not slip from the ledge when he heard these words. He said, “Yes, general. I have taken note of this.”
Shi Lang stood up after a nod, and said while looking at the Lizardman, “You may be stronger than me, but thank you for the chance to let me test the suit.”
That said, he did not waste any time and controlled the suit with a neural link. The only piece of the suit that was not connected with the visor, but to the back of his head, and acted as a switch for the suit..
Shi Lang stood up and twisted his neck, and then his suit began to transform. It was as if the metal has come to life. The muscle joints all inflated and the cracks in the metal surface revealed black rope-like things connected to the plates. These ropes were flickering with blue light. That was not all, even on the surface of the suit there were glowing blue lights. Some big and some small, some round, and some just tiny dots.
These were the vents, emitting the smoke from the heat generated inside the suit. Shi Lang looked like a robot from the future. If not for his head, it was definitely an appearance from sci-fiction. Shi Lang clenched and unclenched his fists and said, “Come on.”
The lizardman roared and rushed at Shi Lang and the latter was not going to take it passively either, he moved and the suit had increased his physical strength and speed. He cannot yet control the suit remotely. This suit was a prototype.
Shi Lang threw a punch to counter the fist incoming from the lizardman, the impact sent out visible shockwaves and the two parties retreated. Shi Lang was better because his suit had taken up the damage and diverted it to the ground with the help of the breaded vibranium muscles.
The lizardman was not enjoying this impact, Shi Lang had thrown the last punch with nothing held back in the arsenal. Thus the impact. Shi Lang said, “Milo, this is the limit, shortly missing the level of the second level of core condensation.”
Milo nodded and said, “Yes, sir.”The debut release occurred at N-ov3l=B(j)n.
The fight continued, and the impact was strong enough to destroy the buildings in the surroundings. Shi Lang was continuing to perform tests and record data, that was not all, he was even making suggestions for improvement. The reason he was given this suit to test was that he was the strongest and in case he encountered any stronger enemy, he could still get away from the situation using the suit.
Another reason was that Shi Lang had spent a lot of time developing this suit by adapting the designs of the humanoid puppets. The effect was really good, and the suit was barely short of the limit to beat the guy in front of him to a pulp. Another thing was that the battle capability was reduced slower than that of the Lizardman in front of him.
The suit was equipped with a smart chip and this chip was recording data and micro-adjusting the suit mechanics to optimize while in battle. This was the ingenuity of the design and the designer. It was Milo who came up with this feature.
Shi Lang was overpowered by the Lizardman in the latter half of the fight when the suit was damaged to a higher level. He was being pushed back by the enemy. Milo said, “Sir, this is enough data you can fight freely now.”
Shi Lang nodded and said, “Thank god the defense test is finished.”
Then he stopped and the suit returned to its original appearance, Shi Lang grabbed the hilt of the sword tied to his waist and took it out of its sheath. This weapon was not made up of metal, but stone. The edge of this sword could slash an entire mecha. This was a spirit weapon, and it was really strong
Shi Lang slashed the Lizardman with a back hand. The enemy was fast enough to withdraw but not fast enough to withdraw. When the Lizardman stopped five steps away, a small cut appeared on his snout.
The burning pain was a blemish. Shi Lang assumed a stance where he held the curved sword in his hand extended outward. His eyes were indifferent as if they were the sword blade.
He said, “Come, let me dance.”
He has been practicing his sword moves in secret for a long time to sync the skill he used in his. Old life with this one. The understanding he had back then sustained and made him reach the level of a sword master. His thoughts were one with the blade and vice versa.
As soon as the Lizardman charged at him. Shi Lang said, “Record my movements.”
Milo immediately commanded the drones to record and Shi Lang moved. His movements were not fast, on the contrary they seemed to be really slow, and hypnotizing. His blade moved with the twist of his wrists.
The edge was sharp, making whooshing sounds as they slashed through the wind. The sensation they gave the Lizardman was so dangerous, that he was pushed into an active retreat.
Shi Lang did not let go of this chance and pushed forward, in the next five minutes, the Lizardman was shocked and scarred. His body was littered with small cuts. It was because of his quick responses that he could survive this onslaught.
Sparrow gulped and said, “He never showed us this skill.”
The eyes of the whole team were glued to the wrist and the blade. Hawk said in a sombre voice, “This is a killing move. He will never take it out until the enemy is not a big threat to him. Look at the enemy, he is so fast that even under this blade it has no deep wounds. That is why boss wants to kill him as soon as possible.”
Shi Lang had been fighting as he stood in one place. But after he saw that the enemy was quick on his feet, he began to move. The scene escalated, Shi Lang had become the shadow of his enemy. The Lizardman roared in frustration.
It wanted to take Shi Lang away from the injured person, Kun. However, Shi Lang countered and chased him all over the place and left bigger wounds. Suddenly, the enemy yelled and said, “I have stone skin. Hahaha, you have fell in my trap!”
If it was someone else they would have panicked or retreated but Shi Lang smirked and said, “Then let me give you a surprise as well.”
His stone sword began to flow with golden light and followed by a slashing action Shi Lang appeared behind the enemy. The next thing was the detachment of the big tail behind the Lizardman.
This was followed by a shrill roar, well fine a wail. Milo said, “Fuck, that big guy is crying.”
Sparrow chuckled, “Little boy, boss slashed at the tail for multiple reasons but the most prominent one would be that the big lizard was about to explode the spikes at the tail end. That will be harmful to boss. Also, now that he has been immobilised, guess what will happen.”
Sonic said before anyone else, “Information extraction.”
“Bingo, come Sonic, you will take these two people back to the ship and place them in holding cells.”, Shi Lang said in the communicator.
Sonic sighed and said, “Uff, cleaning work again.”
Sparrow chuckled and said, “Poor you.”
However, this ecstacy to tease Sonic did not last for very long. Shi Lang said, “If you pity him that much, then please join him. That big guy will need some serious strength to be dragged back up. Milo, pick up the parts from the suit. This bastard broke it for good. We leave in an hour, rush it.”
“Hoorah.”, replied the people.
