Chapter 60: A Fierce Battle Against the Demon Sanctuary
Before Lin Yun could react, he felt his mecha shaking violently. All of a sudden, his mecha was being pulled and rapidly moved backward.
Who was pulling his mecha?
Lin Yun quickly turned around to see that it was Du Zi!
Du Zi’s height could only reach the mecha’s knees. He also had a deep wound on his chest. Under this state, he was actually holding Lin Yun’s mecha’s legs and pulling this huge dozen-ton machine backward with ease.
Lin Yun quickly concluded that Du Zi definitely had a Physical Strength above Level 7.
In that case, how powerful should the enemy be that he could cause Du Zi to suffer such serious injuries?
“Kapow!”
A huge cut opened the chest of Lin Yun’s mecha. If Du Zi hadn’t abruptly pulled him back, his own mecha would have been cut in half just like the captain’s mecha.
This was such a powerful battle technique. Lin Yun was completely unaware that his mecha had been severely damaged.
“Boom!”
Just as Lin Yun was horrified, a loud sonic boom was heard. Countless pieces of metal, as well as broken bits and pieces of the pipeline, flew past Lin Yun’s eyes quickly. Lin Yun turned his head in a panic, but he saw the upper half of the captain’s mecha had been blown up.
Wouldn’t that mean that the captain’s cockpit had also been severely damaged?
Lin Yun was shocked, and he turned his head abruptly to see the captain falling to his side while being badly mangled. Nobody knew whether he was dead or alive!
In a few seconds, this enemy had actually damaged two mechas to this state. Lin Yun, on the other hand, still hadn’t seen the enemy’s true face.
Lin Yun quickly jumped out of the mecha’s cockpit and rushed to the captain, wanting to check on his injuries.
“Watch out! He’s coming at you!”
Before his voice was heard, Du Zi had already blocked in front of Lin Yun. Suddenly, he kicked up onto something, producing a resounding sound. In the next moment, Du Zi’s figure had disappeared from Lin Yun’s eyes.
“Crash!”
There was a loud bang from behind him and Lin Yun quickly looked back. Du Zi was covering his chest, supporting himself at the side of the Skynet Crystal. There was another deep wound on his abdomen.
Lin Yun was stunned.
He hadn’t been able to clearly see that battle earlier on. Besides the enemy’s movements, he could not even capture Du Zi’s movements.
A powerful sense of powerlessness surged deep into Lin Yun’s heart. Even if he could observe the enemy’s movements, what could he do? The enemy’s powerful attacks and lightning speed were simply not something he could fight against.
Du Zi covered his chest, but the bleeding did not cease. His face was pale and he slowly sighed. “I’ve gained another five minutes of rest.”
Lin Yun was very surprised. Five minutes of rest?
Du Zi held the edge of the Skynet Crystal and slowly stood up before explaining, “Every five minutes, the enemy will attack for ten seconds. If my guess is right, his five minutes of accumulated Spiritual Energy can interfere with the Skynet Crystal’s attack lock for ten seconds.”
“Attack lock?” Lin Yun looked at the huge Skynet Crystal beside him with a puzzled expression.
“It seems you still don’t know that the power of the Skynet Crystal’s attack is comparable to a mecha’s plasma laser sword. Even a Planet Refiner is unwilling to face its edge. However, by relying on strong Spirit Strength, one can interfere with the Skynet Crystal’s attack lock and use the opportunity to destroy the Skynet Crystal. During these five minutes, our attack area within ten meters of the Skynet is safe for now.”
Du Zi put his hand on Lin Yun’s shoulder as though even standing up was a problem. His injuries were actually so severe.
“Clap, clap, clap!”
The clear clapping sound came from the front. Then, a figure appeared before Lin Yun’s eyes. Upon seeing the enemy, Lin Yun’s eyes narrowed.
This demon was dressed all in black, with a black cloak, black gloves, and a black mask. A long scythe made of an unknown material was a short distance away at his side. After he mockingly applauded, a hoarse, cold voice was heard from the mask, which was as unpleasant as an owl’s dry howl.
“A human officer of a small border base can have such strength and insight. In order to reward you, I’ll make an exception and let you meet me.”
When Du Zi saw the demon’s dressing, his face became even more serious and said coldly, “So it’s the Demon Sanctuary. The big shots have indeed been alarmed.”
The demon’s eyes moved slightly and he said in a low voice, “You actually know of the existence of the Demon Sanctuary as well. However, despite so, you only have two minutes left to live.”
“That’s not necessarily true!”
Following the low voice, a calm-looking middle-aged man slowly stood up from the ground. He muttered to himself, and a warm, soft white light suddenly emitted from his hand and landed on Du Zi’s body. Under this white light, the wounds on Du Zi’s chest constantly recovered at a visible rate.
Lin Yun was delighted. That middle-aged man was the captain. Obviously, this white light was the healing that he was good at.
Seeing the appearance of the white light, the demon’s eyes once again fluctuated, but his voice became even colder. “A paladin? But why would a paladin be dressed up like this and be associated with human soldiers in dire straits? It seems that you are nothing more than a failed trainee paladin who learned healing by coincidence.”
This demon took a long scythe in his right hand as if a god of death was looking down on the three of them. He said mockingly, “There is one minute left. Are you ready to embrace death?”
“I should be asking you that!” Du Zi had recovered his injuries and actually rushed into the cockpit of Lin Yun’s mecha with a broken arm.
Lin Yun was very surprised. Did Du Zi expect to use this broken mecha to fight the demon?
In fact, Du Zi did exactly that. Using the mecha’s left hand, he pulled out the plasma laser sword and a very nice-looking floral pattern. This was Lin Yun’s first time seeing someone use a laser sword to pull out such a nice-looking floral pattern. It turned out that the laser sword could still be used like this.
“Meet your death!” Du Zi roared. He actually did not use the advantage of the Skynet Crystal to charge out of its range and take the initiative to provoke the demon.
At the same time, a high chanting voice was heard. When Lin Yun turned his head, he saw the captain holding a book high up and intense white light was shining continuously from him. Under this light, Lin Yun felt energetic and all his fatigue and pain seemed to have disappeared.
“The Holy Light? How could you possibly master the Holy Light! Who exactly are you?” The demon from the Demon Sanctuary roared loudly and coldly as a sword grazed in front of him, cutting a wound in his chest.
“Don’t distract yourself during the battle.” Du Zi’s mocking voice was heard from the one-armed mecha.
“Hmph, the Holy Light is no threat at all in reducing my strength. As for this iron thing of yours, I can cut through it with a single slash.” The demon from the Demon Sanctuary raised its scythe and its figure disappeared.
Du Zi maneuvered his mecha, wielding a laser sword in his hand and waving it back and forth as if he was chasing away an invisible fly. The legs of the mecha remained motionless, moving with great ease and care.
Sensory Elevation!
Lin Yun was lucky enough to trigger the triple Sensory Elevation, and he saw a black shadow constantly swimming around Du Zi. It was as if a mosquito was constantly about to bite a bull. Du Zi’s laser sword was like a bull’s tail, constantly chasing away the mosquito.
It turned out that the illusion of disappearing just now was created because the enemy had been too fast, even faster than his own Sensory.
Lin Yun had to admit that the gap between his own strength and Du Zi’s was too big. He watched as Du Zi wielded the laser sword in front of him, gradually becoming immersed.
“So, the laser sword can still be used like this! Not only can the blade hack, but the wide blade can also be used as a shield to block attacks. In addition, Du Zi completely ignored the demon’s attacks, clearly using injuries in exchange for his life, relying on the laser sword’s sharpness. That’s right. It’s a 1-on-1 battle. The laser sword could completely blast any opponent, and the broken mecha parts do not affect the pilot. Even if the mecha’s arms and legs are broken, the opponent would suffer a fatal blow with one slash from the sword.”
Under Sensory Elevation, Lin Yun could sense even more.
“The feet of Du Zi’s mecha is moving slightly. This movement constantly puts him in a more powerful position. It seems to be oppressing the demon’s dodging space. A little bit of space oppression allows his advantage to gradually accumulate, allowing him to be in a winning position.”
Lin Yun realized again that Du Zi wasn’t even moving uselessly. Every movement he made piloting the mecha, even the slightest turn of his head, had its own meaning. Without a doubt, this would greatly save the mecha’s energy.
“Too superb! Even a mecha knight is nothing more than that.” Lin Yun couldn’t help but marvel. In the past, he had heard that one mecha warrior was able to fight ten reserve mecha warriors, and one mecha god was able to fight a hundred mecha warriors, which he had felt was too exaggerated. Now, having perceived Du Zi’s advanced mecha control, he suddenly understood that those rumors were true. Mecha operation was truly an art.
Observing the demon’s face getting uglier and uglier, Lin Yun understood that it was about to fail.
“Give up!” Du Zi’s hearty voice was heard from the mecha with a slight hint of mockery. “Give me an intact mecha and a Planet Refiner will not be my match. You have no chance of winning.”
“Hmph! I really didn’t expect that this little human stronghold would have a defected paladin and a royal knight. I don’t know what kind of skills the remaining one has.”
As soon as he said that, this demon’s eyes let out black light. At the same time, the scythe in his hand quickly sliced towards Lin Yun’s direction. An imaginary shadow of a black chain flew out from the pit of his stomach and rushed towards Lin Yun like lightning.
“Danger!”
“Move aside!”
The captain quickly stopped the chanting of the Holy Light and pointed his glowing right hand at Lin Yun. A circular barrier made of white light appeared around Lin Yun. It was like Lin Yun was wrapped in a white egg.
“Is the Holy Light Barrier that protects life useful for curses?” The demon from the Demon Sanctuary mocked loudly and coldly. His right arm holding the scythe fell off and he instantly felt pain.
“I told you, don’t distract yourself during a battle,” Du Zi said that, but he couldn’t help but turn his head to observe Lin Yun’s situation.
That imaginary shadow of a black chain had actually passed through the protection of the Holy Light Barrier and struck Lin Yun’s body!
