The Mech Touch novel Chapter 4280

Venerable Orfan grew desperate and frustrated when she saw that the Shockshell had overcome the first layer of defense of the First Sword.

Though Venerable Dise's expert mech was not as fragile as other comparable expert swordsman mechs due to the protection afforded by its Unending alloy armor system, it was far from sufficient against an opponent as powerful as Venerable Rebecca!

The Shockshell itself possessed the capabilities to penetrate the First Sword's armor. As soon as it had overwhelmed the Larkinson mech's resonance shield, it had channeled extra power to its transphasic weapon systems in order to amplify their damage potential and enhance their penetration characteristics.

The difference it made was clear!

Whenever the Shockshell fired its shoulder-mounted gauss cannons at the First Sword, the solid rounds punched deeper into the armor than before!

Though the limited power and caliber of the gauss cannons were ultimately not enough to ensure its firepower could punch through the First Sword's Unending alloy armor plating directly, just hitting the expert swordsman mech already caused its surface layers to crack.

What was even more dangerous was the shocking quality that Venerable Rebecca's powerful will imparted on the rounds, the First Sword also froze and became jerky for an instant.

Together with the electric bolts fired by the chest-mounted electrorods and the positron beams fired by the wrist-mounted energy cannons, the Shockshell was able to electrocute the First Sword to such a degree that the latter simply couldn't operate as smoothly as before.

This was a devastating debilitative effect to an expert pilot that relied on high control to operate her expert mech to the fullest!

"I love tearing apart fancy expert mechs like yours the most!" Venerable Rebecca laughed as her stormy willpower enhanced the shock quality of her expert mech's electrical attacks. "It doesn't matter how tough your armor is. It will be easy to dispose of you once I shock you into paralysis!"

The First Sword's armor might not possess any transphasic properties, but its sheer density and hardness still provided it with enough protection provided that the Shockshell did not concentrate its attacks on any weak points.

Although the Shockshell's offensive might was strong, it also happened to possess a single major shortcoming.

The expert hybrid mech lacked a sharp weapon that could penetrate through strong armor plating!

Though the Fridayman expert mech's transphasic shock hammer, transphasic concussion shield and transphasic shoulder-mounted gauss cannons were designed to inflict shock damage that could bypass the armor and directly damage the vulnerable internals of a mech, there were still limits to everything.

The Gauge Dynasty had not invested as much phasewater in the Shockshell as the Cross Clan had done for the Mars, and it showed as the First Sword stubbornly resisted the vibrations and electricity coursing through its exterior.

Though numerous internal components were beginning to get worn down, Venerable Dise tried her best to protect and preserve these vital parts by infusing them with as much true resonance as possible.

She had to give up on launching sharp and powerful attacks in order to do so, but the Swordmaiden expert pilot understood that she had no chance of defeating the Shockshell by herself.

Venerable Dise's only hope of overturning this battle was to buy enough time for Venerable Orfan or another friendly expert mech to come bail out her First Sword!

She couldn't do it alone!

As the Shockshell constantly bombarded the First Sword with electric attacks, it became increasingly harder for Dise to muster up the strength of her machine.

It was as if the Shockshell was slowly eating away at the First Sword's control mechanisms.

Even if the First Sword's armor remained intact, it risked freezing up if it continued to be bathed by electrical current.

Fortunately, she could still rely on a bit of help to mitigate the storm of attacks.

The First Sword itself had grown a lot since its initial creation. Even though it wasn't a masterwork expert mech, the mech still gained enough awareness to do everything it could to preserve its integrity.

What also helped was the Decapitator greatsword that was in the First Sword's hands!

As a masterwork mech weapon that Ketis had personally forged, the weapon had not only been infused with a piece of its creator, but also possessed a strong life of its own!

Since Venerable Dise constantly channeled it with her willpower, the Decapitator had grown even sharper and more unyielding than before.

Sword and wielder were one and the same!

The incredibly strong bond that Venerable Dise had forged with the Decapitator allowed the First Sword to achieve greater results with its weapon than before!

Right now, Venerable Dise was thinking hard on how to reduce the damage to her expert mech even further. Her only hope of doing so was to rely on the Decapitator, the vessel of her power.

Through the heavy pressure that the Shockshell exerted onto the First Sword, Dise's mind and will became so active that the Swordmaiden expert pilot finally came up with a crazy but daring idea!

Dise's eyes shone brightly as her resonance with the Decapitator had reached a peak!

"Cut through the storm!"

A blinding light escaped from the Decapitator as its wielder swung it down with great force!

The Shockshell responded quickly and already backed out of the range of the Decapitator, but the wide sword energy manifestation tore through the electrical current generated by the high-tier expert mech's electrorods and forcefully silenced the surrounding space!

For a few seconds, Venerable Dise's overwhelming need to dispel the storm and calm the space in front of her expert mech remained dominant.

However, Venerable Rebecca furiously pushed back and proceeded to launch electrical bolts and bursts at the First Sword!

The strength of their willpower was not comparable!

Venerable Dise might be able to buy a bit of time by bursting out with all of her strength, but her opponent could easily squash the resistance with just her regular focus!
