Chapter 53: Chapter 40 Confrontation_1
This was the most “sci-fi” battle Duanmu Huai had encountered since his ti travel. On the ground, massive chanical soldiers were charging forward. anwhile, peculiar flying objects suspended in the sky kept firing beams of laser-like light at Duanmu Huai and his team. The danger of these beams could be estimated by the rapid percentage decrease in the durability of their power armor.
These things were as powerful as bomb guns!
Fortunately, Duanmu Huai was not fighting alone here. Quantity could make up for quality; puppets were deployed like crazy, in other words, the number of puppets was used to offset the superior quality of the opponent’s robot legion.
Luckily the puppets were indeed cost-free.
The towering large chanical soldiers charged like angry bulls. Nurous puppets sward and threw themselves onto it. The chanical soldier swung its arm, smashing two puppets into fragnts instantly. But other puppets took this opportunity to attack it, breaking its shell. While the chanical soldier was swinging its arm to knock away other puppets, one puppet directly pierced the core within its shattered armor. Imdiately, the large chanical soldier staggered and instantly paralyzed.
“Phew… good thing my puppets are unscientific.”
Seeing this, Duanmu Huai had sowhat let out a sigh of relief. The opponent was playing high-tech. Luckily, his puppet card group was unrealistic. Logically speaking, the dagger and curved knife held by the puppets should not be able to penetrate the defense of the large chanical soldiers. It’s like a knight in the middle ages swinging a sword against a tank. It would be a miracle if it could cause any damage.
Although there have been situations in civilization where primitives could blow up helicopters…
Fortunately, his puppets were also unscientific. After all, these puppets were a simple carved wood structure and didn’t even have components. If analyzed from a scientific perspective, they probably couldn’t be analyzed.
Therefore, although the attack power of the puppets was low, the damage they caused to the enemy was real. For a while, the battlefield was at a standstill.
However, Duanmu Huai knew that it would not be beneficial to continue dragging the battle.
The opponent’s chanical soldiers kept coming without end. He didn’t want a repeat of engaging in an endless cycle of refreshing enemies like in the haunted Western-style building. That would be frustrating.
No choice then.
Looking at the deadlock on the battlefield, Duanmu Huai pondered for a mont and made a decision.
“Ogis, cover ! Take out those aerial monstrosities!”
Duanmu Huai loudly issued a command. He then charged straight ahead. anwhile, upon hearing Duanmu Huai’s call, Ogis promptly raised her hands. Threads erged from between her fingers, shooting out and intersecting to form a large net that instantly cut the airborne creatures into pieces.
Of course, so creatures also attacked Ogis. Fortunately, Ogis slightly moved her fingers, and a group of puppets automatically rushed forward to shield her from the aerial attack.
As Ogis was buying him ti, Duanmu Huai sprinted ahead at full speed. The chanical soldiers spotted him and imdiately converged on him. But Duanmu Huai, without hesitation, summoned hundreds of puppets to take the bullets for him while he continued to run forward.
Duanmu Huai himself had only 4 agility points, slow in reaction, but fortunately, the power armor made up for his shortcomings. Using the puppets as a distraction, Duanmu Huai made it through the battlefield to the base of the palace’s balcony, jumped up suddenly! The jetpack instantly blasted off, bringing Duanmu Huai right in front of that cloaked man!
Strike the horse before the man, take down the leader first!
“Die!!!”
Duanmu Huai roared, slamming his hamr down at the cloaked man, who stood there motionlessly and reached out his hand. With a “thud”, Duanmu Huai’s war hamr landed on the man’s hand. But it didn’t send him flying. Instead, Duanmu Huai felt as though he had hit a hard piece of granite that wouldn’t budge.
However, Duanmu Huai’s attack wasn’t entirely useless. With his full-strength strike, the cloak of the man was blown off, revealing his true face to Duanmu Huai.
It was a towering iron cha, even taller than Duanmu Huai by a head. Its head was a mask similar to that of an Egyptian Pharaoh. Inside its hollow chest, a blond man who seed to be fused with the armor was visible. In other words, this device was the so-called wizard!
[Mobile Armor (Legend)]
[LV43]
Got you!
Seeing this, a cold light flashed across Duanmu Huai’s eyes.
Summon Puppet to the field!
Activate “Shortcut to Death”, designate Puppet to use, Puppet obtains “Critical Hit” characteristic!
Attack!
At the very next mont, Duanmu Huai’s cloak shook abruptly, and a puppet assassin sprang out, its dagger flew forward, striking straight into the chest of the blonde man inside the cha!
“Good!”
Seeing this, Duanmu Huai clenched his fist in excitent. Although this thing looked formidable, a strike with the “Critical Hit” attribute added could kill instantly disregarding the HP and defense. You just be obedient and… Huh?!
However, to Duanmu Huai’s surprise, the cha in front of him was not instantly killed as he had imagined. On the contrary, the cha swung its arm abruptly. The next mont, Duanmu Huai and his puppet were flung away, heavily hitting the wall nearby.
“Boom!”
The violent impact made Duanmu Huai grunted, he quickly stood up, gripping his War Hamr again, staring at the large cha coming towards him.
How was that possible? The [Critical Hit] attack just now had clearly landed on it directly. Could this thing be immune to the curse effect?
However, when Duanmu Huai saw the chanical wounds appear on the man’s body, he was speechless.
He initially thought that this man was the operator of the giant cha, but it turns out that he’s also a robot?
Okay, Duanmu Huai now understood why the [Critical Hit] failed. Because it was not a living being, so [Critical Hit] would have no effect, right!?
“Full body status confird, durability synchronization confird — Begin battle…”
At the sa ti, the Giant cha’s cool voice echoed along with the raising of its hands. Seeing this, Duanmu Huai gritted his teeth, raised his War Hamr, and swiftly glanced at his hand card.
It seems, he had to go all out!
With that in mind, Duanmu Huai waved his hand again, summoning several Puppets to attack the Giant cha. anwhile, he took advantage of the Puppets’ cover and circled to the back of the Giant cha, smashing his War Hamr forcefully at its legs.
“Clang!”
The Thunder Warhamr struck the Giant cha’s leg, the surface of the steel that radiated a purple glow twisted and shattered instantaneously. The body of the Giant cha also tilted slightly at that mont.
[Matter Displacent]! Armor Piercing successful!
However, just as Duanmu Huai was preparing to follow-through with another attack, the cha suddenly spread its hand towards him. Following that, several rays of attack burst forth.
“Damn!”
Duanmu Huai swore silently, hurriedly raised both hands to shield himself, the next mont he felt a shaking on his body, as if he was hit by a speeding vehicle, flying off the ground. He felt the hard fall on the ground with a “thud”.
Simultaneously, an ear-piercing alarm sounded.
[Warning, Power Armor durability has fallen below 20%]
[Warning, Power Armor is about to be damaged]
Destroyed by one attack? How high is this thing’s attack power!
Duanmu Huai was taken aback internally as the alarms sounded. anwhile, the Giant cha had already turned around and was charging at him again.
No choice then!
Seeing this, Duanmu Huai gritted his teeth, making up his mind.
Activate [Puppet Surgery]! Randomly grants a 4/ 0 effect to a Puppet Card in his hand! And then……summon the [Puppet] to the field, Attack!
Just when the Giant cha charged right in front of Duanmu Huai, suddenly, a Puppet flashed out quickly from beneath Duanmu Huai’s cape, directly pouncing onto the Giant cha. It doesn’t seem to have any difference compared to other Puppets, but a closer look would reveal that this Puppet doesn’t have hands on both arms. Instead, one arm had been modified into a blade, and the other had been turned into a gun muzzle!
The standard Attack and Defense of a [Puppet] is 1/1. After the [Puppet Surgery] enhancent, this Puppet should be at the 5/1 level! Against a Level 43 creature, it shouldn’t be a problem!!
And the results were just as Duanmu Huai had anticipated.
“Pchtt!”
The modified Puppet leaped and pounced on the Giant cha. Then, its blade-like left arm pierced straight through the chest of the man in the cha. At the sa ti, it lifted its right hand, which had been modified into a gun muzzle, aiming at the man’s head.
Then……
“Bang!”
With the echoing of the gunshot, the man’s head shattered. The Giant cha also paused for a mont, then suddenly collapsed on the ground, motionless.
“Phew……”
Seeing this, Duanmu Huai finally let out a sigh of relief.
Finally, it was settled.
