Chapter 431: The Phantom King
Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas
Wang Zheng and the rest could finally relax and watch a match. The feeling after completing a mission was the best. As for the semifinals, it would only be happening later on. When it’s time to relax, one should relax.
This was especially so for them to have a better attitude to study the Atlantis team, who was most likely going to be their opponent.
The Gemini team side were high in fighting spirits. They were not discouraged just because their opponents were the people of the Atlantis. This was also the unique characteristic of the people of Gemini. Regardless of whether their opponents were humans or ghosts, they would stand firm to their own momentum.
“Wang Zheng, what’s making you laugh so happily?” Zhang Shan was searching out his thoughts.
Wang Zheng immediately lifted up his head. “Nothing much, just some words of congratulations.”
It was pretty exciting to be messaging Aina secretly with so many people around. He was finally advancing forward towards his goal. Winning the IG championship was not a dream, but the next round might possibly be the toughest one.
Aina had also mentioned just now that he needed to be extra careful of Bordia and Azhas. One of them was an expert with the Phantom King, while the other was an expert with the Specter King. Aslan had gathered much information regarding them and had also done many focused trainings on these two. However, it was a pity that they would not be putting it to use.
Information itself was not as useful, as seeing was believing. For Wang Zheng and the rest, first hand experience was key.
But the question was whether these two would be sent up to fight at all.
Perhaps they were provoked by the various big teams before them, as the people of Atlantis had finally made their move. They also did not have to draw lots or anything to see who would go first as the people of Atlantis were indifferent about being aimed or targeted against. They would confidently pick their mech without influence of others. All of them were very strong, and their opponent could make their selection as they wished.
And the first one to make his appearance was Azhas – the Specter King.
Ao Ziwei and the other members of the Gemini team were very serious, they were not going to slack off even in the slightest bit just because of the indifference of the Atlanteans.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe Phantom King was one of the super series mecha of the Atlanteans. It possessed extremely strong destructive power and was engraved with runes. It was indeed a headache to challenge Atlantis sometimes as one would have to deal with them in a way where both illusions and reality were combined. Only by fighting stably and defending valiantly would they gain an opportunity to counterattack.
“Mo Lun, we will leave this round to you!”
Ao Ziwei announced cautiously. Their unity of will was an impregnable stronghold for all the people of Gemini. Facing the tyrannical and mysterious Atlantis team, they had already made thorough mental preparations. Using the strongest determination of the Gemini, and their valiant defense, they were going to guard and counterattack their opponent.
Even though they were faced with the vice team leader of Atlantis, Azhas.
Mo Lun’s height was only slightly taller than 1.5 meters, and he was considered tall in Gemini. His build was thick and solid and showed strong power. In order to deal with the Atlanteans floating around, only the strongest determination was to be used.
The heavy mech of Gemini – Lion Roar mech.
This was a beast-type heavy mech. The unique feature of the beast-type heavy mech was that while it maintained a strong defensive ability, it also possessed the ability for a concerted counterattack.
Facing the Phantom King that was agile, what Mo Lun had to do was to defend and counterattack.
The two mecha entered the battlefield. The Lion Roar was letting out massive rumbling noises. Mo Lun was already well prepared for the battle; whether the attacks he would be faced with were fake or real, he would be treating them as reality and defending against them!
As a person from Gemini, he was an expert when it came to defense.
Everyone’s eyes were wide open, looking forward to what kind of performance Azhas, the expert from Atlantis, would be showing.
Azhas was very relaxed. The Phantom King was activated, and the veined patterns of the runes lit up. It was light as a feather without any sparkles. Both parties did not bring out their laser guns. One party was drifting effortlessly, while the other was closing in steadily.
The mood was very heavy. It seemed that this was an opportunity for one deadly attack. Atlantis was not entirely without any weakness. The defensive ability of their mecha was about the same as mankind’s mecha, it was just that one also had to handle the effect of their runes.
The nearer the distance, the more advantageous it would be for the people of Gemini. Their defensive skills and attitude, coupled with their body strength, were the finest in the Milky Way Alliance.
It was no doubt that Azhas wanted to show off; he had the intention of playing with fire. With the strength of the people of Atlantis, it was evident that they would not be satisfied by merely winning, they would want to show off.
However, their opponent was the people of Gemini, which were the hardest to show off to.
It was a contradictory fight.
Both parties closed in to a distance of 20 meters. And all of a sudden, the Specter King disappeared!
In the next moment, appearing in a place 10 meters away, there was a loud bang. And all of the sudden, the Specter King appeared in front of the Lion Roar, and Atlantis’ unique laser rune sword attacked towards the Lion Roar.
Two consecutive warps?
Boom...
In a flash, the energy shield of the Lion Roar mech burst opened. The four limbs were gripping tightly against the ground, with its center of gravity lowered. With the defensive ability of a heavy mech, it was completely possible for it to withstand this attack. As long as it could withstand it, he would have the chance to counter attack.
The rays of light from the rune sword were radiating all around. The sword sliced downwards, and even though it was an ordinary slice, the effect was a super heavy hit. It was a heavy hit on the Lion Roar mech, and the energy shield was reduced by half immediately. However, the Lion Roar mech defended against it steadily. It also maintained its center of gravity very well. The people of the Gemini had the best knowhow with regards to the aspect of defense. The opponent failed with his sword attack, hence the Lion Roar mech would not let the opportunity before it go, and it roared!
The Lion Roar mech suddenly pounced on its opponent. It was obvious that the Specter King was going to retreat. However, the ground suddenly exploded apart, and pillars and pillars of stone soared upwards towards the sky.
Mo Lun had an earth Ability X, and he was able to create obstacles on the ground. During battles, it was not only able to create obstacles, it could also be deadly for the opponent even if it was just a subtle stumble.
The Specter King was bird in a cage. Who cares if you were an Atlantean, I would rip you apart in the same matter!
Boom...
The Specter King disappeared once again... In the next moment, it appeared behind the Lion Roar mech, it waved its rune sword outwards and the rays of lights from the rune radiated all around. The sharp rays were like snake spirits, restricting the Lion Roar mech.
Ripple...
The energy shield exploded into pieces, the lights disappeared, and the rays from the sword flashed through.
Boom...
The Specter King disappeared.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter one second, the Specter King appeared at its original position as before, like it did not make any movement.
However, the Lion Roar mech was already not moving at all. Snap, crackle...
Boom.
The Lion Roar mech collapsed.
At the start of this battle, everyone knew that it was a sure win for Atlantis, even though the Gemini were very strong. If they had met with any other opponent, it would have been possible for them to win, but definitely not against Atlantis.
But at least they could have persevered for a while!
No one knew what was going on. They had not even touch their opponent, but the vanguard of Gemini was finished off.
From the beginning to the end, no one had been clear of the mecha of the Atlanteans, with regards to what was real and what was illusionary.
It was like it had not started, but it had already ended.
This was the Specter King of Atlantis.
Azhas’ appearance made everyone fall into desperation. Let’s not mention figuring out illusion and reality. They had not even touched it, and it had already ended.
“This Mo Lun was too weak. He was the vanguard of the Gemini?”
“Was it a mistake? Maybe he was stunned. What is this situation? The Gemini is admitting defeat without even fighting?”
In an instant, the whole audience were discussing spiritedly. Why was the Gemini so weak?
“Mo Lun, the number one tanker pilot in the Gemini Military College, the one who possesses earth Ability X, and has attack and defense integrated as one...”
This person was definitely not a weakling. As the main force and vanguard of the Gemini team for their quarterfinals battle, high hopes were placed on him, and this was because his defensive skills and stability were the best. However, facing the attacks from Atlantis, he did not even have any chance to retaliate.
Many times, unless the people of Atlantis were willing, there would be no chance for the opponent to show their skill at all./
Atlantis was very relaxed, so relaxed that it seemed like they were not involved in the battle. When he appeared in the hall, Azhas smiled in the direction of the Solar System Federation team.
It was a smile full of meaning.action
