Chapter 3861 lnterspecies Duel
Few Larkinsons could understand what was on the Cross Patriarch's mind right now. The truth of the matter was not as complicated as they thought.
Aside from wanting to compete and measure himself against the second-strongest fish-whale of the Evolution Kingdom, Patriarch Reginald was also eager to baptize his new Whale-Cutting Saber in fish blood!
"COME AT ME, FISH WHALE!" He roared even though he knew the aliens didn't understand human speech. "I'LL SLICE YOU INTO SUSHI!"
The combative expert pilot's fighting spirit peaked as his expert mech had advanced close enough to collide against the champion fish-whale!
Though Patriarch Reginald did not participate in this campaign with the intention to duel against one of the powerhouses of the indigenous alien population, when he gazed at the powerful alien beast, he could recognize a challenge when he saw one.
Some forms of communication were universal to all races. At least that was what Reginald believed. Beasts were competitive by nature and he had no doubt that these fish-whales fought amongst themselves to see who deserved to be on top.
"Since you fish-whales understand the language of the fist so much, let me show you why expert mechs are revered in human space!"
Patriarch Reginald had studied parts of the footage brought back by Venerable Tusa like most people.
He skipped a lot of the boring parts but rewatched the battle between the Swarmers and the Evolvers multiple times.
The strength and abilities displayed by the Evolvers completely fascinated him! Although the Evolver fish-whales were completely different from humans, he saw many parallels with expert pilots and expert mechs from their individual power expression.
Each of these fish-whales functioned akin to a permanent union of expert mechs and expert pilots!
Although they did not harness the power of true resonance, the power derived from phase whale bioscience was not weak. This was especially when the fish-whales in question surpassed the size of an ordinary mech!
Though Patriarch Reginald knew better than to accept a challenge from the humongous fish king, this bladed fish-whale looked just right.
At 10 times the size of a mech, the creature that excelled at chopping enemies apart up close exuded pressure that was akin to a powerful expert pilot, but did not surpass it to the point of entering the range of an ace pilot.
In other words, the bladed fish-whale was a great sparring partner! Patriarch Reginald saw a great opportunity to practice and master the use of his new Whale-Cutting Saber!
"Accept my blade!"
As the Bolvos Rage finally closed the distance, the powerful expert mech had flared its resonance shield while raising its large and heavy saber at the same time!
The bladed fish-whale did not remain idle at this time. It maintained its challenging gaze as it prepared for the incoming in its own way.
The powerful beast was old enough to experience numerous battles where powerful enemies attempted to charge it head-on in an attempt to break his body apart.
How could he not have countermeasures against this simple tactic?
The bladed fish-whale did not make any attempts at avoiding the charge. Even if it did, it was futile as its speed was not comparable to that of the Bolvos Rage.
Instead of doing all of that, the bladed fish-whale's hide squirmed until a black substance appeared onto the surface.
Soon, they solidified into bone armor that completely hardened the front of the bladed fish-whale's body!
That wasn't the end of the transformation. The bladed fish-whale concentrated deeper and began to squeeze out additional bone material from its giant skull.
Soon enough, a long black bladed horn had extended out of its head!
This sharp horn was considerably larger and more menacing than the other blades that extended out of its body!
"Damn, that horn is long enough to impale a heavy mech with plenty of length to spare!"
"The Bolvos Rage is hastening its own destruction if it collides head-on against that horn!"
Shortly before impact, Patriarch Reginald briefly considered whether he should try to test his expert mech's defenses against this menacing horn.
"No. It's too dangerous!"
His powerful intuition detected a lot of threat from this horn. It was not as simple as it looked to his senses.
If his expert mech attacked as he originally intended, then he would just be taking the initiative to impale it onto this menacing horn!
Therefore, the Bolvos Rage ultimately veered to the left, causing it to miss the horn and the main body of the fish-whale.
The way wasn't cleared, however. There were many other blades sticking out from the rest of the fish-whale's body.
"You will serve as good target practice!"
In an instant, the expert hybrid mech zipped along the length of the bladed fish-whale and swept its heavy saber straight against the blades in the expert mech's path.
Over a black bone blades burst away from the massive organism after the Whale-Cutting Saber completed its first strike against a whale-like creature!
"Is it that easy?!"
"Those blades impaled so many Swarmers without breaking that I thought they were unbreakable. How could they have been cut with so much ease?!"
"That's easy. Our patriarch's expert mech has true resonance while that big fish-whale only has ordinary bones. There is no way that they are on the same level!"
All of the fish-whales gazing up at the duel from a distance were surprised at how easily the Bolvos Rage managed to cut off all of those sharp and hard bone blades with ease.
This was the first time a fish-whale fought against an expert mech. They were completely unfamiliar with true resonance and did not understand how such a 'small' metal fighting beast was able to display such an absurd degree of lethality.
