1017 Victory Within Grasp

Whether it was an analyst, military school expert, or student, they were all mind-boggled. Although the Phantom King was difficult to obtain, the major military schools had it regardless. They had even done research on it. Humans with strong mental energies could use it, although the drain was larger. But they had never heard that the Phantom King could be used like this!

How was that possible?

Jiang Feng's face was solemn. He had heard of the Atlanteans' abilities. Back in the day, humans had not feared the runic mecha, but rather the real terror was the Atlanteans!

The Atlanteans' research towards mental aspects far surpassed that of the humans. This had been the real reason the allied human forces had stopped attacking. But for some reason, Atlantis had not publicly used it ever since they entered the Milky Way Alliance.

But against Wang Zheng, Heracles had actually used the taboo power of the Atlanteans…

This was a runic mech's true strength!

Runic mecha were not without defensive energy shields, it was simply that humans did not know how to use it.

Butcher had analyzed runic energy for quite some time now. He understood with just one look. His hypothesis was completely correct!

It was not that Atlanteans did not know how to use Ability X. Their mental energy was far more sophisticated than humans', and they could easily pilot runic mecha. So why could they not use the external world's energy?

This was not logical at all. And now it was clear that they were not incapable, but had merely not used it for their own reasons!

Afraid of human envy? Or something else?

Clearly, the legends were true.

They must never think they had completely seen through the Atlanteans.

Once used, all four members of the Saruman Snake battle team had been finished off in just five seconds…

This was representative of the best battle team at Elite Academy X. A casual slaying in less than five seconds!

Physical defenses and energy defenses were as weak as tofu when faced with that black runic sword.

The Phantom King flew high up, borne by the black flames.

This meant that the Phantom King was not only able to hover with low levitation powers… it could fly.

The audience finally realized the problem.

The Atlanteans… were angry!

The low-profile Atlanteans had been the strongest from the start. They were not inclined to war with humans, but that did not mean that humans could invade their territory.

Wang Zheng's biggest mistake was using the Phantom King to defeat the Atlanteans, which had angered them past their breaking point.

And now the Atlanteans were angry.

There had always been rumors that Heracles had come to Elite Academy X to win back lost glory from IG. They wanted to tell humankind that Atlantis had always been there, just like centuries ago. They should not be crossed.

The Asura battle team members were smiling bitterly as well. No wonder Marzu had been finished off so easily. From the power level that Heracles had just displayed, that black runic shield could completely absorb physical and energy attacks. This was similar to Marzu's invincible Ability X, except that they could use it with more impunity.

Those who had underestimated the Atlanteans and thought that humanity was on the rise were extremely thrown off now. Humanity had researched for so many years, and only scratched the surface.

The mech was just there. It had always been there.

And the question was, what would Saruman Snake do?

Wang Zheng was also a magnet for trouble. In this world, he was probably the first human to be targeted so by the Atlanteans.

But he was also the first to be able to push the Atlanteans this far.

Aina was not at all surprised at this turn of events. She was a human who was very familiar with the Atlanteans. This power was not unexpected. The Atlantean civilization sought a oneness between their spiritual energy and the universe, a completely opposite path from the Mayans. As the first civilization on Earth, they were much stronger than the humans who had come after. Simply because of some taboos, the Atlanteans had "sealed" this power. But this unsealing had surprised Aina as well. Was it simply to take back the name of the Phantom King?

Or… because of Wang Zheng?

The great Atlantis would break their seal, just for a human?

Suddenly, Aina realized another strange issue.

While the Phantom King was unleashing its powers, Wang Zheng was not sitting idly. The Slayer could not possibly dodge everything. If the opponents could not even chase a Slayer, then Jin Yaoer could not call herself a scout.

The Wasp Stinger darted up like a shadow, facing Wang Zheng. Jin Yaoer did not dare to hold back. Even if the mech was at an enormous advantage, he would fight till the last.

This concerned Aslan's glory, and a scout's honor!Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.

Kill him!

All in!

Every scout must know this move. It was also a way of attacking.

The Wasp Stinger M's engine growled. The mech leaped forward, Jin Yaoer's Ability X bursting forth in full. Metal Ability X's sure-kill ability!

This was why she was qualified to enter the Imperial Glory battle team, and been the main scout. As long as her Ability X hit, it was a sure kill. Even an Earth rank would have his skin peeled off if he survived.

The scout advanced in a straight line, opening the way. But Jin Yaoer was confident that even if she was hit by the Slayer, he could activate her energy shields. A mech like the Slayer was static once it started attacking. And he still had friends behind him!

Strong, dependable teammates!

The retreating Slayer suddenly met the attack, raising an explosive burst laser… This…

Jin Yaoer's face twisted with maniacal battle will. Wang Zheng, no matter how awesome you are, don't try and show off in front of a scout!

There was only three meters between the two mecha. Only now did the Slayer raise the laser gun. Was he trying to club the scout to death with the gun?

Rumble, rumble, rumble…

Bubble, bubble…

Just as the two mecha were about to collide, the Slayer hummed and moved like lightning… A 90 degree turn, immediately coming to the Wasp Stinger's flank.

BOOM, BOOM, BOOM…

For the laser gun, firing three shots was an instant thing. But it has to be said that Jin Yaoer's reactions were quick enough. Perhaps it was instinct. The energy shield activated.

Blocked!

But the two mecha were too close to each other. The prodigious momentum carried Jin Yaoer crashing into the wall. This level of momentum did not faze Jin Yaoer, but suddenly, something like a bomb exploded beside his skull…

Mental breakdown… over.

BOOM, BOOM, BOOM…

This was a burst laser, which instantly exploded on Jin Yaoer's Wasp Stinger mech. At the same time, the mech side stepped. SHING, SHING, SHING…

There were three holes in the ground. Lu Die's sniper had arrived, but had not hit Wang Zheng. The Slayer did not continue fighting. The wind ability kicked in, and the mech speedily retreated.

A city terrain had always been unfavorable to the Slayer, but Wang Zheng simply changed his rhythm in this place.

Lu Die's eyes were full of bloodthirst. Calm down, calm down. This Wang Zheng was no ordinary opponent. One could not judge based on an average person's stamina and recovery time. Be calm, be savage!

Annil's Imperial Guardian wanted to pursue, but Di Maria bellowed for a stop.

Because, they had won.

To win this competition, they need not kill Wang Zheng, but merely win.
