“Are mutated measures like these secret methods or medicine?”
A simr thought had crossed F’s mind recently. Suddenly, from the bottom of his field of vision, he saw two blue curved lines shooting downwards from mid-air that nearly hit the surface of his Mech Body.
“Screen!!” he growled softly.
The Willpower Defense Field System firmly formed in front of his body and became much more substantial. It blocked both of the blue curved lines that flew towards his face. The lines did not budge against his force field for a few moments but disappeared slowly after that.
Meanwhile, two of the three Bodies in front of him had apparently disappeared without a trace while two shadows appeared beside him on both sides. Both of them held daggers and pierced them into F’s waist instantly. Cold blue air wafted out of the sharp des faintly.
For unknown reasons, the speed of both of these Bodies became abnormally fast. They were now more than one and a half times faster than they were previously. When F reacted, the edges of their des had already pierced through his Willpower Field.
“Roll!!”
A sense of crisis had arrived and he roared frantically as his Willpower Field twisted itself quickly and stopped the two daggers that flew towards him on both sides.
He stretched both of his arms and held the head of one Body with each of them. He smashed them together brutally so that both of the Bodies in front of him collided against one other in the middle.
At this moment, he was ovee with intense feelings of danger suddenly. F did not even have enough time to think before he dashed upwards into the sky in an attempt to flee further away from these two Level Five Bodies. However, he was one step toote.
Boom boom!!!
Two loud explosions could be heard suddenly as the fragments of his Willpower rolled away in a frenzy with the mes throughout their surroundings in a range of more than ten meters. As he was unable to escape in time, F was violently swept away as well.
The tremendous explosive force of the impact shook F’s Willpower Field to the verge of copse, almost destroying itpletely. After all, this was the full strength of the self-explosion of two first-rate Level Five Mech Pilots.
Just when he had almost breathed a sigh of relief, a huge explosion urred right above his head and suddenly came down.
F raised his head and happened to see a crimson red fireball falling from the sky. It was about to fall and collide with his head directly like a fiery red shooting star.
Boom!!
In the sky above the grassy ins, a frontal collision urred between the red shooting star and the White Body. The Body of F’s Mech waspletely enveloped by mes, making it impossible for him to see anything clearly during that time.
When both of the Resonance Mechs from the convoy rushed over to assist him immediately, everything had ended already.
Both of them and a few remaining Bodyguard Mechs observed the exploding fireball but none dared to approach it too closely.
“This is the impact of the self-destruction of Level Five Mech Pilots. They knew much earlier that Master F would be in the convoy!” said one of the Remington Mech Pilots softly with a pained look on his face.
“Pay attention to your surroundings at all times to prevent any more of the enemy’s sneak attacks!” yelled someone else.
The remaining bodyguards dispersed quickly and stood guard throughout their surroundings.
However, everyone’s attention was still focused on the gigantic red fireball that was suspended in mid-air. If anything happened to F, they would be in great danger regardless if they resumed their journey by continuing to go forward or by returning. If their enemy were able to dispatch formations and ambushes like this, it would definitely ur again once it had happened the first time. Without F’s support, the ending would be too ghastly to imagine.
The gigantic fireball that had a diameter of over ten meters finally dissipated.
A White Body that was stained with ck burn marks appeared slowly. One of its arms was charred ck while burning mes continued to dance on the Body. Some sticky-looking substances that were burning fell off its body and burned ck holes of different sizes on the grassy ins below. They were clearly burning at frightening temperatures.
“Master F!”
“Are you alright? Master!”
Two Resonance Mech Pilots asked loudly.
“I’m fine...” F sat inside the cockpit with a slightly fearful look on his face. “When those three Level Five Mech Pilots destroyed themselves simultaneously, their powers were already enough to pierce through my Defense Fields, threatening the cockpit. Fortunately, I was able to block it by sacrificing one of my arms in the end.”
“They are forces that actually dare to oppose our convoy?!” said a flustered voice from the convoy suddenly. “Uncle F, how am I going to exin to Father if anything happens to you?”
F’s Mech Body raised its hand.
“Don’t worry, it’ll be fine once I return and fix it.” He sat inside the Cockpit with a solemn look on his face.
“Who would be so brave to actually ambush us?!”
“To think that someone would dare to ambush the convoy of Divine Wind Generals! Most people could not even imagine themselves being so brave!”
“But what if it’s someone within the Divine Wind Generals?” sneered F while interrupting the conversation between the others.
“Someone within ck Flood Party?” said a Resonance Mech Pilot before bing silent and not daring to speak anymore. Within a giant like the ck Flood Party, each Divine Wind General was an Inherited Mech Pilot whose powers stretched over the two main territories and were unimaginably strong.
The other voices turned silent at once as well except for Remington who continued to curse.
However, his father did not have particrly many enemies. Nheless, one would naturally offend many people while on the path to reaching the level of a Divine Wind General. Most Divine Wind Generals would be unwilling to make their Level Five Mech Pilots kill themselves while ambushing a convoy. Therefore, he would not be able to guess the culprit either.
“Could it be that Nonosiva?” asked Remington angrily.
“It’s unlikely,” F shook his head slightly. “It would be impossible for him to gain such strength so quickly. I thought that it was caused by one of his people at first but I’m not so certain about that now. The ability to get three Level Five Mech Pilots to self-destruct immediately is not something that can be done by the average person. Even Divine Wind Generals would be pained by this.”
“Then who is it? If I find out who it is, I’ll be damned if I don’t get Father to ughter all of them!” said Remington while disying his own resentment. However, he did not sound truly furious as this matter was not any of his business. The real target of the enemy’s sneak attack was not him but F instead. Therefore, he was only anxious in the beginning but had steadied himself after that.
“Could it be him?” F narrowed his eyes and his gaze slightly.
****************************
“Failed.”
Garen was not shocked at all when he detected information from his Living Secret Technique that his Distorted Seed had disappeared.
He was currently taking turns with Celine while ying military chess calmly.
Both of them sat upright on the balcony outside Celine’s vi. A gentle breeze blew while soft music yedfortingly.
Celine who was sitting on the opposite side of him moved a chess piece with one hand while supporting her chin with the other as she yawned.
The afternoon sun shined on both of their bodies and made them feel slightly warm.
Garen lifted a chess piece gently and ced it on an empty spot that Celine was not paying attention to.
“Kill steal!”
“Ah, I lost again...” Celine looked on helplessly when her General piece was killed at once. Her hand swiped across the board and scattered the other pieces messily. “I don’t wanna y anymore. I keep losing despite ying for more than ten rounds. It’s meaningless now.”
“Then what do you want to y?” Garen smiled.
“I’ve learned the numbing ability that the bald guy used previously. Why don’t I show you once?” giggled Celine mysteriously at once.
“Are you talking about that Energy Machinist baldy who called himself a maic field?” asked Garen.
“Yes, that numbing ability was pretty neat. Although he used a consumable substance, it produced some pretty good effects by being able to paralyze others for two seconds,” Celine nodded. “However, it wasn’t effective enough against me!” she said with a confident look on her face.
“If it wasn’t for me previously, I’m afraid that he would’ve done all he could to molest you, right?” Garen shook his head while smiling.
“Bullshit!” Celine stood up. “I’ve made a huge pile of these toys so why don’t you take one now and try it?!”
Without even thinking, Garen already knew that this girl had definitely used a lot of these to create a resistance drug for herself. She had onlye to him now after obtainingplete immunity.
This girl’s had always possessed an abnormally headstrong personality.
“I heard that F’s convoy was ambushed.” Garen changed the subject suddenly because he had too many matters to solve and simply did not have time to spend his day ying with Celine everywhere.
“Ambushed? How is he? Is he dead?” Celine became interested suddenly and sat down again.
“F is lightly wounded and Remington is fine. Meanwhile, more than half of the regr bodyguards are dead but the powerhouses are fine,” answered Garen matter-of-factly.
“What a shame”, Celine shook her head. Suddenly, she raised her head and red at Garen again. “It wasn’t caused by someone you sent, right?”
“How would that be possible?!” Garen waved his hands continuously. “The attackers were Level Five Mech Pilots but so am I. Do you think that I’m able to influence such high leveled Mech Pilots? You’d need to know your limits even if you were joking!”
“I know, I know” Celine felt that this was unrealistic as well. “Whatever, it doesn’t matter whether he’s dead or not. Right, what do you n to do since you don’t have enough Ring Light Silver? Your Appraisal”
“Without sufficient Ring Light Silver, I can only use some Level One items to substitute them this one time. Although its performance will suffer slightly because of this, I will just be careful to select those of best quality,” Garen shook his head. “Although my Appraisal is slightly lower than the other first-rate prodigies, I won’t face any problems achieving Level Five. As long as I reach Level Five and obtain my Exclusive Mech, I will be able to enter the Resonance Degrees. I will need to look at my developments while threading on the next path.”
“That’s true as well. As long as you achieve excellent Appraisal, your personal development will be the only obstacle that limits your advancement. Encounters, luck, and power are things that you cannotck”, Celine nodded. “How are the preparations of the materials for your biochemical pool?”
“Almost done. I can begin constructing the cultivation immediately. It’s being done at an extremely fast speed and will be formed in two or three more days. Most of my time is being spent on looking for materials”, Garen said with a smile.
Regarding the biochemical pool, he was extremely looking forward to it because he was a Level Two Energy Machinist now.
“What about your Energy Machine Imprint? What have you chosen?” Celine continued to ask.
“I’ve already decided that the first one will be the Investigating Hawk. Its functions are more practical and I will be able to develop and evolve it to Level Two in the future. It’s not bad.”
All Energy Machine Imprints would start at low levels initially. Moreover, once they were determined, they would upy a location that could form Imprints. For Energy Machinist, it was extremely important they could only produce a control space after every two levels. Therefore, it was an important step to decide which Energy Machine Imprint would be ced into the control space because they would need to pay an extremely heavy price if they wanted to change it in the future.
“There’s no need to rush, I’ll decideter once the biochemical pool is done”, said Garen casually while smiling. He was not anxious at all because he knew that he would be able to take a huge step and advance forward if he found an Energy Machine Imprint that could reproduce his powerful calction abilities. Compared to most of the other Energy Machinists who did not have Energy Machine Imprints, they would only reach the standard of a Level One Energy Machinist after at least ten years of perseverance and calction. Meanwhile, after relying on his powerful Intelligence Attribute, he was able to forcibly break through therge gap that seemed like a moat between him and the others within a short span of time. No one knew that he had surpassed these obstacles and obtained his Level Two Energy Machinist status merely within one or two years.
After chatting with Celine for awhile, Garen stood up and excused himself before sitting in the convoy that was surrounded by bodyguards and returning to his own vi.
Throughout the journey, he recalled the battle scenes that were transferred back to him through the Distorted Seed.
Other than the abilities of mutated creatures, he had not expected that the Distorted Seed possessed short-term sensory sharing abilities as well. This allowed him to temporarily witness the battle scenes.
“The three Level Four Mech Pilots that were hosts of the Distorted Seed parasites were actually upgraded to the peak of Level Five immediately. They even possessed radioactive cold air that could increase the energy consumption of their enemies that were attacking the Energy Fields of their Bodies. While battling other Level Five Mech Pilots, theirbat abilities were sometimes slightly weaker but the radioactive cold air was able to make up for the difference. As long as they were not fighting exceptional, top-notch Mech Pilot prodigies, most of the other Level Fives would be like this. I really did not expect that the Distorted Seed would give me such great surprises...”
Garen’s mind considered that the results of this ambush were truly unexpected. He did not think that the explosion of the Distorted Seeds would produce such great power. He had only nned to test out an experiment initially but had now discovered that the effects were extraordinarily great.
“Now that the Level Four Mech Pilots in my hands have been used uppletely, where else will I be able to find high-level Mech Pilots?” Garen began to ponder slightly.
“High-level Mech Pilots have always been opponents that were drawn over by other forces. If those Mech Pilots had notmitted crimes that caused their infamous reputations to be scattered about, which then made other unwilling to hire them, I wouldn’t have been able to entice them either. High-level Mech Pilots... High-level Mech Pilots...”, Garen furrowed his eyebrows and pondered.
