Even so, a faint smile tugged at his lips.
"Well... what a nice little playfield you’ve prepared for . This is becoming more and more interesting..."
Bursting through the incoming energy fire, Crimson Star directly collided with the leading knight ch in a blazing energy slash!!
The sheer force of the impact pushed all five knight chs several ters backward!!
At the sa ti, while engaging them head-on, he controlled the back-mounted energy cannons through the support of Crimson Star’s AI system and instantly fired toward the speed-type chs that had suddenly appeared within his line of sight and were rushing toward him!!
The anti-armor rounds effortlessly pierced through the shields and armor of the speed-type chs before erupting into flas—
Instantly destroying the cockpits and taking down three chs just like that.
All of this happened in barely half a second!!
The others only realized it too late, and when they saw the chs of their three comrades bursting into flas, they froze in disbelief.
Then one of the braver pilots broke free from his shock and shouted—
"Damn human!!"
With that, he pushed his spear ch forward and charged toward Crimson Star in fury!!
"Wait!! Don’t charge blindly—" the squad captain shouted the mont he saw the spear ch rushing ahead.
But it was already too late...
The crimson ch moved slightly, tilting its body just enough to avoid the spear thrust. Then, moving its left arm, it instantly grabbed hold of the spear shaft, preventing the Hegemony ch from pulling itself back!!
And before the enemy pilot could even react, Crimson Star followed up with its dark red energy sword—
Crack!! Shatter!!
The seemingly sturdy shield failed to stop the attack and instantly shattered apart!!
The blazing sword lted straight through the hardened Tier-One alloy armor, pierced through the cockpit, and erged from the ch’s back—
Killing the pilot instantly.
"Shit!!" the captain cursed after seeing exactly what he had feared happen, losing yet another skilled fighter because of blind rage.
Quickly activating the comms, he no longer bothered suppressing his anger. Like a broken dam, it exploded outward as he roared—
"If any of you dare charge blindly at the enemy again because of rage, I will personally kill you myself, damnit!!"
"Idiots!! Follow the plan we discussed!! Otherwise, it won’t just be you who dies—another three hundred will follow as well!! Rember that!!"
"...Now move!!"
"Yes, Captain..." the others muttered with lowered voices.
Swallowing their anger, they once again began moving according to formation and battle plan.
The knight chs stabilized themselves, raising their shields and coating them with mana as they prepared to withstand the overwhelming pressure of the human fleet’s crimson ch!!
Once more, they bravely charged ahead while the spear chs followed not far behind them.
anwhile, the speed-type chs remained hidden within the battlefield shadows, prepared to act at any given mont, while the swordsn chs repositioned themselves to support the frontline if things turned unfavorable.
At the rear, the marksman chs unleashed another coordinated salvo toward Crimson Star in rapid succession!!
At the sa ti, seeing hundreds of enemy chs now advancing in an even denser formation while countless attacks once again rushed toward him...
Sitting within the ch, the crimson-haired boy frowned slightly.
But reacting quickly, he pushed several buttons beside his seat.
Imdiately, parts of Crimson Star’s shoulder pads detached from their positions. Shaped like small floating shields, they began levitating around the ch!!
Soon after, another four similar parts erged from hidden ports on the ch’s back and joined the others, circling around Crimson Star in synchronized motion.
Then, as if perfectly linked together, the six smaller shields projected a layered blue barrier around the crimson ch!!
Just in ti.
ailgun rounds, pulse fire, and plasma shots rushed toward him and slamd directly into the shield ford by the six floating shield units!!
The shields trembled under the relentless bombardnt, their energy barriers shuddering constantly from the intense firepower crashing against them...
But they held firmly.
Other than the shield layer dimming slightly, they remained completely intact.
anwhile, the crimson-haired boy calmly returned his energy sword to its holder before pulling out a cold-looking blade engraved with dense crimson runes.
The sword’s edge glowed entirely red, while the body of the blade itself remained pitch dark...
A notification popped up in front of the crimson-haired boy.
[Blood Slayer Sword has been equipped.]
As if the sword were not held by the ch Crimson Star but by himself directly, the red-haired boy rubbed his finger along the ancient legendary blade and felt the boundless destructive energy and bloodthirst radiating from it...
Much like his own.
He couldn’t help but smile.
Then quickly refocusing, he rushed directly toward the heavy chs charging at him while simultaneously opening hidden launch ports across Crimson Star.
Hundreds of small cluster-type antimatter missiles were instantly launched alongside continuous high-intensity fire from the two back-mounted cannons!!
Seeing the rapidly approaching missiles and the overwhelming barrage of energy fire heading toward them, soone shouted in terror—
" Enemy fire incoming!! Execute evasive manoeuvres!! Prepare yourselves!!"
The main task force of the 3rd Wing’s 10th Division reacted quickly, executing rapid maneuvers while weaving through the wreckage of destroyed ships and even the remains of their own fallen comrades’ chs in an attempt to avoid the incoming attacks at all costs...
But the missiles seed to possess eyes and minds of their own.
No matter where the pilots tried to hide, the missiles relentlessly tracked them down!!
And because they were cluster-class weapons, each missile contained dozens of smaller sub-munitions inside, each carrying nearly the sa destructive capability as the main shell itself...
So even if one failed to destroy its target, another imdiately followed behind it—piercing through ship wreckage and debris fields alike until they struck their targets and obliterated them into nothingness!!
Many pilots scread in terror as the dense missile storm hunted them down from whatever hiding places they tried to escape into...
anwhile, the high-intensity shots fired from the twin back-mounted cannons continued relentlessly across the battlefield!!
anwhile, the high-intensity shots fired from the two back-mounted cannons rushed toward the rear lines of the 3rd Wing’s 10th Elite Squad, targeting the marksman chs—which throughout the galaxy were known for possessing lighter shields and armor compared to frontline units...
Unprotected and unable to take cover quickly enough, many of them were struck directly by the supercharged plasma and pulse shots and exploded instantly!!
At the sa ti, Crimson Star directly clashed against the five knight chs, all of whom had raised their massive shields in preparation for the crimson ch’s assault.
But to their surprise, their heavy shields—crafted from special alloys capable of enduring extre forms of attack, whether kinetic strikes, energy blasts, heat, or energy weapons—suddenly felt far less indestructible than before...
There was even a saying among ch pilots: "The ch may be destroyed, but the shield never will."
Yet the mont that gloomy and terrifying sword flashed forward—
A blade so chilling it made their blood run cold— It slashed directly against the shield surfaces and instantly carved deep scratches across them while simultaneously forcing the defending knight chs several steps backward!!
The impacts destabilized their stances and created openings within their formation!!
The crimson-haired boy’s eyes glead the instant he saw the opportunity.
He thrust forward toward the exposed gap— But unfortunately for him, the knight chs reacted in perfect synchronisation.
The mont one ch was knocked off balance, another imdiately charged forward to take its place while two more shifted in to reinforce the line!!
And every ti one ch was pushed back, another instantly rotated into position to maintain the defensive wall.
The seamless coordination and synergy between them genuinely surprised the crimson-haired boy...
"Talented!! But unfortunately, you all stand on the wrong side and belong to a different race!!" the crimson-haired boy spoke aloud.
While speaking, he quickly backed away using his thrusters, and the very instant he moved, a spear thrust shot past from behind one of the knight chs alongside a sword slash that cut through the exact position where he had been standing monts earlier...
"Well now... much faster recovery than I expected from all of you, huh?"
"Hmmm... not too shabby for ’elites’ specially trained by your backers..."
A few monts earlier, before Crimson Star had collided with the knight chs...
Seeing the countless deaths around them, the faces of the surviving elite ch forces of the 3rd Wing’s 10th Division had nearly lost all color.
They had no idea how they were supposed to fight—let alone take down—an enemy like this!!
Not only was the enemy overwhelmingly powerful, but it was also equipped with various superior weapon systems they seemingly had no ans to withstand at all...
Their defenses crumbled almost instantly every ti they were struck, never giving them any chance to recover!!
If even one attack connected properly, death followed imdiately...
Even the captain of the elite force himself felt bitterness and hopelessness rising inside him. For a brief mont, he even thought about giving up.
