Chapter 64: God of the Dark
Translator: AbyssrulerEditor: Lucas
The two mecha retreated simultaneously and disappeared into the dark. Just before the Wargod No. 1 retreated, he had turned off his infrared vision system as well.
Everyone was completely dazed at such an action.
Why did the Wargod No. 1 do something like that? He didn't have other auxiliary systems to assist him.
Was he trying to admit defeat?
However, there was no other choice. The infrared light was too bright; it was as good as painting a target board on himself in the darkness.
One had to know that the Dark Hunter had a defensive shield. No matter how hard he cut it, it was not impossible for the Wargod No. 1 to win in a brawl.
Even if Skeleton's close combat skills were very strong, in such a situation, the opponent had already proven his ability to match him blow for blow.
Regardless of whether one had watched many of such shows or if it was their first time, everyone held their breaths in excitement. Both of the commentators were very quiet. Such a battle did not require their comments. Knowing when to speak was one of the most basic skills required of a commentator!
This was the two competitors' showtime!
Although this battle was not as lively as a normal battle, the atmosphere was way more tense and hair-raising.
The Wargod No. 1 had been pressured into a dire situation, and this was the first time a competitor had ever completely suppressed Skeleton!
This was Qiangsen Duoma.
This was the might of the Europe Region's Dark Lord. This was also why he was famous yet enigmatic. In the high level arenas, so long as the map was similar to Lakato, his win rate was 100%!
Moving forward, a legend would only create another legend.
The Dark Hunter emitted a dense amount of killing intent. The prey had already been located. To Qiangsen Duoma, finding his opponent was no different from a finding a firefly in the dark.
In a Wargod's Covenant Net Café in Europe.
A middle-aged man was currently engaged in a battle. The only thing was that everyone there knew that the boss unfortunately possessed a lazy eye.
This was the legendary Dark Lord.
No one knew where he came from. Beside the middle-aged man sat a young man. He was the real owner of the Shadowhunter Lord ID.
This ordinary-looking Net Café boss used to be a soldier in the Sol Federation Federal Army. He was the ace of the black ops combat team back then. Once, when he was carrying out his duties, he had been subject to a large amount of radiation and was hit with a debilitating physical injury. At the same time, he was afflicted with amblyopia and had to retire.
Some individuals might have chosen to stay in the army in another capacity, while the more exceptional ones would choose to live in peace back home.
However, during their peaceful lives, they would often recall their glorious memories as a warrior. Only death would truly bring peace to the blood boiling inside them.
Qiangsen had not had such a feeling in ages. Although he did not know who the opponent was, excluding the physical factors, the enemy's reactions and ability to pilot the mech would definitely place him as an expert in the army.
It was not that he did not want to attack relentlessly. It was that the opponent left no flaws to exploit. All of the openings were clearly traps to be exploited by him! If he wanted to take advantage of those openings, he would have to pay a price!
At the same time, Wang Zheng could feel that the opponent was an extremely experienced export. Such experience in battle could only be obtained through battle.
The enemy was constantly probing him with his attacks.
In the darkness, the Dark Hunter renewed its assault and numerous clashing sounds could be heard. However, one could not identify where these sounds were coming from. The Dark Hunter could move unhindered, and with its claws, it could attach itself to the top of the cavern.
Without being able to locate the enemy, the laser could be used. At the same time, the Dark Hunter had finally revealed its skills. The agile movements of the mech could could scare a kid to the point where he pissed his pants.
The Wargod No. 1 was motionless, as moving randomly would only lead to his death. He was trying to determine the location of the enemy.
Without a godly sound isolating system, only echoes could be heard. If one could only hear such sounds in the deathly stillness of the dark, it would no doubt cause them to build up terror, anxiousness, and helplessness.
In the end, it would cause one to collapse.
Even the surrounding audience members felt dazed and helpless. If they were in the same position, in such a situation, they would probably be so afraid of the opponent that they would have surrendered.
In reality, most of the competitors would also choose the same option.
Fighting Qiangsen in such an environment only proved that one had a problem with their heart.
At this point in time, the stationary Wargod No. 1 suddenly slashed viciously towards his right side into empty air.
But…
F**k!
This was the position that the Dark Hunter was moving to!
Foresight!
This was the rhythm of a god! He could even foresee something like this!
This was not by chance!
Rumbling noises were heard.
The two mecha exchanged a flurry of vicious blows. It was as though the darkness did not affect either of them.
These were experts who could fight in the darkness.
In such an environment, their hearts were even clearer!
Wang Zheng was extremely happy. He had finally found a worthy opponent!
Qiangsen closed both his eyes and the corner of his mouth shifted into a gratuitous smile. He had been hoping for a battle like this even in his dreams!
Leaving the battlefield was a fate worse than death for a warrior at the peak!
Regardless of the opponent, he would give it his all!
The ultrasonic system was turned off. It was meant for newbies. Using it to make decisions would cause one's reaction time to lag by almost a third of a second.
The opponents' movements and choice of systems could all be seen on the screen.
Neither of them were using any assisting systems; they were freaks who could fight in the dark.
The alloy knife and the claws clashed in a firework of sparks. The rough terrain and obstacles in the dark were unable to obstruct the two individuals. In fact, the battle between the two became more and more intense.
Even the audience was feeling asphyxiated at this exciting sight!
This was a battle at the level of the military!
The audience on the Moon and Mars were absolutely dumbfounded. Was this the standard of Earth?
The controller of Dark Hunter was a freak, and the one who used the Wargod No. 1 was a freak as well. What kind of monster could use the Wargod No. 1 to such a level with such life-like movements?
In actuality, humanoid mecha could also perform beast-mecha-like movements. Humans evolved from animals after all, so even though the four limbs might not be as nimble, they could still suffice.
Bang…
After ten consecutive exchanges, the two mecha separated and disappeared into the darkness. This was the movement of experts. They moved like rabbits before becoming absolutely quiet.
The mecha became completely silent. In Qiangsen's ten odd years of army service, of all the experts he had ever met, the one in front of him was truly the most skilled.
Because he had not exercised properly in a long time, he wondered if he could still execute that particular set of moves.
The Dark Hunter increased the engine to the max, and Qiangsen could feel every cell in his body beginning to feel excited. It was as though he was back in the past.
The Dark Hunter suddenly lunged forward. Pitter patter pitter patter… what were these movements?
The Dark Hunter's four limbs were now moving independently of each other. However, even its position, direction of assault, and the angle which it came from could not be determined.
The slight movements which increased in erratic frequency did not cause a large disturbance; it was all contained in a small area. In the darkness, it was a completely unpredictable attack.
If the Wargod No. 1 did not move, it would definitely be destroyed. It was impossible to predict the opponent's trajectory of movement, so he could not block it like he did before.
At this point, the Wargod No. 1 started to move. The two of them began to move in the complicated terrain in absolute control.
The Wargod No. 1 also began to vary its movements to the same frequency as Dark Hunter!
How could he do that with just two limbs???
However, observing the Wargod No. 1's movement would cause one to feel slightly disorientated.
Yet this was only possible through the conversion to an erratic frequency of movement!
The distance between the two gradually decreased, and the Dark Hunter struck first. As a result, he managed to gain the initiative.
Only those who could not see would feel calm. Only then could one truly observe what was happening!
The erratic movements were ineffective!
Young Deer's heart was roaring in excitement. This bastard was considered a god? Ruin him!
First strike!
The Dark Hunter unleashed a crazy claw attack.
He was hopping from left to right while his claws were slashing crazily. It was as though there were innumerable claw attacks coming at the Wargod No. 1.
The Wargod No. 1's titanium knife could only passively defend as he parried the attacks coming at him. However, the Dark Hunter had already become completely insane and was attacking wildly. One could now see the advantage of having four limbs to traverse the terrain.
The hind legs could grip the terrain firmly and allow the front limbs to attack stably! However, the Wargod No. 1 was already wavering unsteadily as the battle progressed.
Honestly speaking, even if another mech was used, it's energy shield would have long dissipated.
How could the Wargod No. 1 survive for such a long time?
Bang Bang Bang Bang…
One of the arms of the Wargod No. 1 exploded!
Even when one passively defended, there would still be a price to pay! Under the relentless assault, the Wargod No. 1 had already exceeded its limits.
This was the Dark Lord!
Even if you were a god, you would still have to bow your head in his presence!
A few individuals began to roar loudly. There were cheering for the victor. On the other side, some of the members of the Skeleton Corps even had the urge to commit suicide.
What could be done??
Bang…
The titanium knife had been knocked away!
The Wargod No. 1's defense was already collapsing. What was Skeleton doing? Why was he not dodging? Why was he stubbornly facing death? The disadvantage in mech capabilities was clearly displayed here.
At this point in time, it had to be said that the Dark Hunter ha not even activated its energy shield.
He was going to lose.
The prey was already on the point of collapse. Qiangsen was waiting for this moment. He had completely destroyed all forms of resistance.
The Dark Hunter sliced out in a cross-shaped fashion.
The twin claws slashed across. At this point in time, Qiangsen's body surged with his long lost energy, the energy of a warrior.
Under Qiangsen's control, the speed of the claws was so high that it even caused a slight brilliance to shine out in the darkness.
This was a blow that would completely destroy the opponent.
At this point.
A red light flashed out and the Wargod No. 1 disappeared.
What followed was the sound of an explosion as fireworks blanketed the cavern.
Skeleton WIN!!
What??
What happened?
Young Deer was the first one to jump up. He had completely forgotten his role in commentating. "What happened? Did the Dark Lord disconnect? How did Skeleton win? Who is trying to fool around?"
At this point, the slow motion kill camera was replayed.
As the Dark Hunter rushed over, the entire environment suddenly lit up. Everyone finally understood why the Wargod No. 1 had refused to move. That was due to the fact that right behind him protruded a stalactite.
At the moment the Dark Hunter unleashed it's vicious attack, the red light from the infrared vision system lit up. Because everyone was in darkness, the sudden light caused them to be completely blinded. Individuals who were adapted to the dark were affected even more.
When Qiangsen realized what had happened, it was already too late. In actuality, when he had executed his attack, he had felt that he was going to lose.
This was the intuition of a warrior.
What had defeated the Dark Hunter was an enormous stalactite.
The two claws could not defend in time before the mech had already been impaled.
When the audience noticed the Wargod No. 1's movements, a chill could be felt.
The Wargod No. 1 had merely side stepped and watched the entire thing unfold.
