Chapter 1115 – The Arrival of Mechataur
Just as the Pandarens were feeling despair from the sudden emergence of the magical portal, they heard a loud booming sound from the north eastern direction of Demopolis. All of them assumed that there was something as sinister as the appearance of the third Ooofpa Loopa and even the Generals believed that it could be the summoning of a fourth Ooofpa Loopa.
But it was not until the Royal Zodiac Battalions saw that the booming sound came into 'sight'.
"Boombayah!!!!!" Luo Bo shouted in the loud speaker and everyone in the Northern Demopolis Wall was shocked to see a Supa Robot smash itself into the Northern Ooofpa Loopa. The Boss' hit points drastically dropped by 10% making everyone stare in disbelief before cheering at the top of their voice.
Ya Bai could not believe his eyes seeing a deus ex machina come in to save them from this seemingly futile fight. However, Hou Fei had seen Mechataur in action before so he smirked and slapped Ya Bai's back.
"Might as well finish the job before the Ooofpa Loopa gets immune to physical attack." Hou Fei advised as the slap woke Ya Bai out of his state of shock. Afterwards, he grabbed him to throw the Royal Snake General into the air. At the same time, he had transferred some of his chi into Ya Bai, allowing him to gather some momentum in Chi gathering when he was in mid air.
"Is this revenge for stepping on you?!" Ya Bai shouted but Hou Fei merely shrugged his shoulders, before enveloping himself with even more chi to jump towards the Ooofpa Loopa too.
Simultaneously, the Mechataur uncoiled his right arm so it could send a devastating punch right after smashing against the Big Boss. However, the Ooofpa Loopa was surprisingly agile and sent out a tentacle from its orifices to block the attack. It even shot out hardened spikes as tough as steel from its main c.h.e.s.t and into Mechataur's torso, yet Co-Pilot Shi Zuo was able to detect the abnormalities quickly and told Luo Bo to take care of it.
"Yes, Sir!" Luo Bo replied as she turned the joystick hard enough to swirl the body while using her thought to control the interface helmet she was wearing to deploy additional defensive platings at the torso area in case the spikes managed to hit her.
Thankfully only two of those spikes ended up grazing the Mechataur due to the aid of the additional steel plates protecting it. However, the graze was sufficient for the System to alert Shi Zuo to purge those platings. He did not hesitate to follow the system's control's command and subsequently realised that the spikes were covered with some sort of corroding poison that was capable of burning through the defensive plating.
Perhaps the system control was afraid that the poison and melted metal could damage Mechataur's torso and recommended the purging of the metal plates.
"Thank you for taking its attention off of us!" Ya Bai shouted as he sent a flying punch towards the Ooofpa Loopa and behind him, the embodiment of his Tiger aura was overflowing. At that point when the punch impacted the Ooofpa Loopa, the bright bluish tiger silhouette materialised into a metaphysical form as it widened its mouth to plunge its fangs into the Ooofpa Loopa. The metaphysical tiger's attack continued as Tiger General Ya Bai continuously sent his punches towards the body of the Ooofpa Loopa, causing internal injury to its organs.
In retaliation, the Ooofpa Loopa screeched in pain and the Bone Spirit Velociraptors that had been harassing the frontliners turned around to assault Ya Bai.
However, it seems as if they had forgotten the second powerhouse on the battlefield. Hou Fei's presence was not felt throughout the exchange of blows despite the fact that he had displayed an overwhelming aura at the start.
By the time all the members in the fight remembered about his presence, Hou Fei was already standing at the top of the Ooofpa Loopa and exuded an aura that was suffocating not only to the monsters but the entire battlefield.
A snake silhouette gracefully emerged in the open and its metaphysical form was already binding the Ooofpa Loopa despite its attempt to remove it with its tentacles.
"This is a skill I can still show the public." Hou Fei mumbled to himself as he clasped his fingers and shouted his technique.
"Advanced Snake Technique. Binding Burn of the Royal Snake." Hou Fei called out and the metaphysical snake chi energy turned even more blinding bright. Even those at the Southern portion of Demopolis could see it happening from afar.
Yet when all this was happening, Ya Bai did not stop and also initiated his technique. Since Hou Fei was going with the light elemental chi energy, he decided to follow the same and even instructed the pilots of Mechataur to do the same if they had any.
"Light?" Shi Zuo panicked for a moment, trying to search for the right attack option but Luo Bo did not think much and went ahead of him again.
"Taurus Horn Beam!" Luo Bo shouted as the horns of Mechataur raised to temperature got enough to turn its energy into a pair of laser beams, blasting away any tentacles and heading towards the main body of the Ooofpa Loopa.
Ya Bai also gathered his energy to the middle of his palms and sent them towards the main body of Ooofpa Loopa. The resultant blast caused a bright shining blue light to mix with the Mechataur and Hou Fei's attack, causing the last blow to the Ooofpa Loopa to be a fantastic light show.
The hit points drastically dropped and both the soldiers and Pandarens cheered on as the Northern Ooofpa Loopa's health bar bottomed out. The System visually broke it to show off that it had lost, while sending out an area wide announcement that it had been defeated.
All the Bone Spirit Demons that had been summoned by the Northern Ooofpa Loopa instantly dropped dead to the ground regardless of their variant and size. In fact, the latest variants were the first to fall out of action and the fighting on the northern side ceased immediately.
Still, the people stationed on Northern Demopolis knew that they had won a battle, but they had yet to win the war!
