The Riot clearly fell into a disadvantage during its first clash against the Shockshell.
Fortunately, the Larkinson expert spearman ch wasn't fighting against this Fridayman expert hybrid ch alone!
"Rosa!"
While the Shockshell had been preoccupied with bullying the Riot, the First Sword had already circled around and snuck up to the enemy expert ch's rear!
Yet just as the First Sword was about to launch its attack, the Shockshell abruptly turned in a 90 degree angle and pushed out with its rectangular concussion shield.
"Repulsion Wave!"
Venerable Rebecca resonated with the solid object to such an extent that it had actually released an enlarged, rectangular-shaped shockwave that completely engulfed and shoved the First Sword away!
Both the Riot and the First Sword quickly opened up a bit of distance from the Shockshell.
Though her expert ch was not too far off from what they imagined, Venerable Rebecca's power, strength, mastery and willpower vastly exceeded their expectations!
"The intelligence briefings didn't say that she was strong to this extent!" Venerable Orfan complained.
"Look at the resonance ter, Rosa. She's not at 57.3 laveres. I'm afraid that she has already reached 61.1 laveres!"
Even though the difference sounded minimal, in reality there was a large gap in power due to how much closer Venerable Rebecca had approached the threshold to ace pilot.
"How could she have changed so much?!"
Venerable Rebecca clearly sensed the alarm and confusion from her foes.
"Saint Jeremiah Gauge personally guided in the past several months. My way forward has never been clearer to . The great Saint's teachings have given the insights that I need to forge my own path to ascension!"
From what it sounded like, Venerable Rebecca truly embodied the aning of an ace pilot candidate!
Fighting her was at least several tis more dangerous than the Larkinsons predicted!
Venerable Orfan and Venerable Dise both felt more pressured than ever. They hadn't accounted for the possibility that Saint Jeremiah Gauge would spend his valuable ti on guiding Venerable Rebecca's growth.
This was a horrible advantage and one that granted a second-rate state a decisive advantage against weaker groups!
As long as a state managed to nurture its first ace pilot with great difficulty and investnt, it was not unusual for more ace pilots to erge in small batches.
This was why the Gauge Dynasty found it essential to transfer at least one of their precious ace pilots to the Red Ocean.
Perhaps Venerable Rebecca Andus had been specifically transferred to the new frontier in order to increase her chances of breaking through to ace pilot!
"Calm down, Rosa." Venerable Dise urged her friend and peer. "Venerable Rebecca is too strong for us to defeat in a short amount of ti. We should return to our original plan and focus on containnt as opposed to winning. Let's wear down our opponent's defenses while waiting for further opportunities."
"Got it." Venerable Orfan growled as she forcefully adjusted her ntality.
The Larkinson expert pilot might be eager to gain another victory, but she wasn't stupid. The difference in power was too great for her to gain an advantage. This wasn't a weak expert pilot and expert ch that she could just bull through by relying on brute force. She needed to adopt a more realistic strategy in order to gain more opportunities.
Venerable Orfan and Venerable Dise did not communicate any further with each other because they knew exactly what they needed to do. Both of them controlled their expert chs so that they constantly surrounded the Shockshell from opposing sides.
Occasionally, laser beams or gauss rounds struck the resonance shields of all three expert chs, but their expert pilots completely disregarded the attacks.
All three of them knew that unless an entire ch regint's worth of ranged chs opened fire upon them, it was difficult to pose a serious threat to the powerful machines!
Other attackers at least had to wait until the resonance shields of their targets had worn down before it beca more viable to defeat an expert ch through sustained bombardnt.
This ant that the three expert chs were effectively on their own unless another expert ch intervened.
The two Larkinson expert chs began their steady assault on the Shockshell.
Both Venerable Orfan and Venerable Dise displayed excellent coordination when their machines dove in to attack the Shockshell at the sa ti.
No matter the strength of an expert pilot or expert ch, it was always a bit difficult to fend off attacks coming from two different directions.
However, the Shockshell under the control of its extrely skilled and strong-willed pilot was different!
The shoulder-mounted gauss cannons actually flipped over so that they could fire at targets approaching from the rear.
At the sa ti the Shockshell fired streams of destructive streams of lightning at the Riot that was approaching from the front, the gauss cannons unleashed a powerful salvo of heavy kinetic rounds that accurately slamd against the First Sword's resonance shield despite Venerable Dise's best attempts to evade the attacks!
"The Shockshell is able to defend itself against two expert chs at once!"
"Venerable Rebecca is too unreasonable!"
As the two Larkinson expert chs enduring the punishing attacks and got close enough to swing their weapons, the Shockshell easily fended off the incoming attacks by turning its fra sideways in order to block the incoming strikes with its shock hamr and concussion shield!
Powerful sparks of energy burst from the contact points as all of the expert pilots involved had invested a lot of true resonance in their moves!
The thunderstorm surrounding the Shockshell lost cohesion for a mont, but quickly regained its vigor, allowing Venerable Rebecca's willpower to constantly shock and paralyze her opponents on a ntal level!
The Larkinson expert pilots tried their best to endure the zaps to their minds and will and forcefully attacked the Shockshell as many tis as possible!
Though Venerable Rebecca was able to block most of the incoming blows by utilizing both of her expert ch's handheld equipnt, she could not block every incoming strike, particularly those launched by the First Sword.
The difference in skill and technique beca clear. Venerable Orfan clearly wasn't as refined in her weapon handling, but each of her spear strikes landed with such great force that they could still accelerate the breakdown of the Shockshell's resonance shield.
Venerable Dise was much more successful in her attempts to outplay her opponent and land effective attacks.
This didn't matter too much for the mont because the Shockshell's resonance shield covered all of its weak points.
Once the Larkinson expert pilots wore through this barrier, Venerable Dise would definitely be able to pose a greater threat to the expert hybrid ch!
However, after repeated attacks, both Larkinson expert pilots realized that it would take a lot of effort to exhaust the Shockshell's resonance shield!
This was also just its first line of defense. The Fridayman expert ch also boasted a transphasic armor system!
"Goddamnit! This Shockshell is constantly trying to fry and paralyze when I've entered its rage." Venerable Orfan grumbled as her latest flurry of spear strikes got blocked by her opponent. "This damn concussion shield constantly bounces back against my spear. It's disrupting my rhythm!"
Amazingly, Venerable Rebecca did not show any obvious sign that she was exceeding her ntal capacity.
She always kept her expert ch at an angle where it was able to block the attacks from the enemy expert chs no matter their positioning.
Venerable Rebecca even had enough multitasking capacity left to independently control her Shockshell's gauss cannons to slam rounds into both of her opponents at the sa ti!
With the help of dinsional magazines, the Shockshell was not short on gauss rounds. The expert hybrid ch did not hold back at all in its attempts to bombard its two targets.
Though the gauss rounds were not powerful enough to pose a serious threat against the Riot and the First Sword, each successful strike ca paired with an electrifying explosion, which disrupted the operation of the two Larkinson expert chs!
"This Shockshell is constantly disrupting our rhythm." Venerable Dise said. "We cannot go through with our current approach. Even though Venerable Rebecca is targeting both of us at the sa ti, our expert chs will lose their resonance shields first. We can't let that happen!"
Venerable Orfan did not enjoy the suppression that she was under. The fact that Venerable Rebecca did not even concentrate fully on her Riot was an insult to her pride as a expert pilot and warrior!
"Face , Shockshell!"
She did not hesitate any longer and resonated with Qilanxo in a special and specific way.
Slowly but surely, the darker blue corona surrounding the Riot grew wilder and less restrained.
The Riot gripped its spear further up its shaft, which effectively shortened its attack reach.
This allowed the Riot to press up closer to the Shockshell!
As soon as the Riot got close enough, the resonance shields of the two opposing chs began to touch and interact with each other.
Though the resonance shield surrounding the Shockshell was much stronger than that of the Riot, the strangest part was that the Shockshell actually started showing signs of destabilizing at a greater rate!
"Your expert ch is weird." Venerable Rebecca imdiately noticed.
This confrontation was the first ti that Venerable Orfan applied her Disharmony Barrier pri ability against an opposing expert ch on an actual battlefield!
"Hahahaha! You're not the only one who can ss with opponents this way!" Venerable Orfan gloated as she saw that her powerful trick had taken effect!
The Riot's inherently chaotic nature seed to contaminate the Shockshell's purer and more orderly resonance shield.
It was as if the Riot had thrown a dead insect into the Shockshell's soup. It only took a small disruption to ruin the entire dish!
However, Venerable Rebecca was far from helpless under this situation. She quickly recognized the risks of allowing the Riot to proceed in this manner and turned her Shockshell so that its concussion shield faced the expert spearman ch.
Venerable Orfan already had a hunch of what was coming.
"Not this move again!"
"REPULSION WAVE!"
Another wall of solidified force slamd against the Riot and pushed it over a hundred ters away!
The Shockshell wasn't done, however. As soon as the Riot no longer interfered with its actions, the Fridayman expert ch imdiately turned to the First Sword and struck with great violence!
The shoulder-mounted gauss cannons fired a powerful salvo of rounds that impacted the First Sword!
The chest-mounted electrorods engulfed the First Sword in an electrical storm!
The wrist-mounted positron beam cannons seared the First Sword's weakening resonance shield even further!
Finally, the Shockshell did not utilize its lee armants but instead kicked against the First Sword's resonance shield with an electrified leg!
Getting hit by all of these resonance-empowered blows in quick succession put a serious strain on the First Sword's resonance shield!
This was bad as defense was not the First Sword's strongest quality.
As the Shockshell continued to blast the expert swordsman ch with as many attacks as it could feasibly unleash, the Riot charged over once again in order to relieve its sister ch.
"Leave my buddy alone!"
"REPULSION WAVE!"
The Riot was not an agile ch so there was no way for it to evade the expanding shockwave that was empowered by Venerable Rebecca's strong desire to get rid of Venerable Orfan's expert ch!
"Ahhhh!"
The Larkinsons didn't expect that the Shockshell could pull off such a powerful move on a repeated basis. It took a lot of effort to push away an expert ch by relying on the power of true resonance alone!
"This conceited woman needs to die!" Venerable Orfan roared in frustration as her frustration fueled her hatred against her current opponent. "You can't stop forever, Rebecca!"
The Fridayman expert pilot smirked as she continued to direct her Shockshell to wear down the defenses of the First Sword.
"You might be right, but I will be able to clean up this expert swordsman ch first."
It was too difficult for the First Sword to fend off a high-tier expert ch by itself!
