The Mech Touch novel Chapter 4281

As Venerable Dise, the First Sword and Qilanxo hammered out a new form of cooperation in a desperate attempt to withstand the Shockshell's furious attacks, Venerable Rebecca grew more annoyed at her opponent's refusal to submit to the storm.

A powerful soldier of her caliber should have been able to overwhelm an ordinary mid-tier expert mech controlled by a relatively inexperienced expert pilot a long time ago.

"These Larkinson mechs are too abnormal." Venerable Rebecca cursed.

This was not a secret to the Fridaymen. It was well-known that the Larkinson Clan treated its mechs differently than other organizations. The combination of a highly innovative mech designer and lots of funding produced mechs that were extremely perverted in different ways.

A typical offensive machine that was mostly designed to attack would have never been able to hold out this long against the Shockshell's thunderous attacks!

Venerable Rebecca did not hold back in the slightest when she fully activated the transphasic functions of the Shockshell's weapons.

Though the drain on her willpower became a lot greater than before, it was worth the expenditure as long as she could quickly take down one of the Larkinson Clan's trump cards.

The problem was that she wasn't able to gain the payoff that she wanted!

The shock hammer constantly pounded towards the First Sword, only for the enemy's greatsword to intercept the hammer.

Powerful arcs of electricity constantly bombarded the expert swordsman mech and its weapon, only for them to endure the damage without any significant consequences.

The most confounding part about the First Sword's increasingly more effective defensive measures was that its aura had changed.

A familiar giant lizard had descended onto the expert mech, infusing it with greater defensive strength that proved to be remarkably effective at blunting the more extraordinary properties of the incoming attacks.

"What is this beast!?" Venerable Rebecca questioned as the expert swordsman mech no longer felt so simple to her senses.

Previously, the First Sword came across as a sharp blade that could cut through anything.

Now, that image had weakened in order to make room for a giant and surprisingly resilient alien lizard!

As Venerable Rebecca strengthened her efforts to engulf the First Sword in her storm, she found that it was a lot harder to shock and paralyze this giant lizard with her willpower!

This was because she was no longer able to suppress Venerable Dise's willpower directly!

One of the main reasons why Ves had always been reluctant to replace the Unending alloy integrated in his first batch of expert mechs was because it was a spiritually-reactive material.

Ves, who had always believed in the strength of intangible phenomena, took advantage of this property to turn mechs such as the First Sword into a prime mech.

Though this aspect no longer attracted as much attention anymore since every expert mech had access to true resonance, that did not mean that prime resonance was weak!

In fact, certain expert pilots such as Venerable Joshua had shown that combining prime resonance with true resonance often resulted in dramatically more powerful effects!

Right now, the First Sword showed off the potential of prime resonance in combination with an expert mech, forming a brand-new defensive barrier that was primarily based on Qilanxo's domain rather than that of Venerable Dise!

This was made possible by the hundreds of Ves worth of spiritual energy that Qilanxo had infused into the First Sword.

In normal times, this amount of spiritual energy was already enough to make it difficult for ordinary people to remain close to the First Sword at ordinary times.

It wasn't until the living mech had grown up to a sufficient extent that it was able to reduce the external pressure of its heavy glow.

Though the First Sword didn't carry as much spiritual energy derived from a design spirit as many of the other prime mechs in the Larkinson Clan, it was still enough for Venerable Dise to amplify with the help of true resonance!

As gauss rounds, electrical bolts, positron beams, shock hammer strikes and electrified kicks continually pummeled the First Sword under its current state, none of the attacks made as much progress as before!

The only attacks that had a chance of dealing at least some internal damage were those launched by the Shockshell's transphasic weapons, and even then they failed to achieve as much effect as before.

Part of it was because Qilanxo used to be able to manipulate the fabric of space in her centuries of lifetime on a savage planet.

Her subsequent death and ascension only strengthened her application of her spatial abilities even further.

This meant that Qilanxo just happened to possess the right spiritual attribute to effectively restrain and neutralize against the transphasic properties of the incoming attacks!

Not only that, but the previous disparity in mental strength no longer applied.

Instead of pressing her willpower upon a weaker and less developed expert pilot, Rebecca instead found herself hitting a wall as she tried and failed to shake the powerful mentality of a former sacred god that had once reigned as the queen of a pantheon in a primitive society.

The difference in strength, mental resilience and other mental properties were too great.

For once, Venerable Rebecca was no longer able to take advantage of her age and development time as Qilanxo had lived almost five times longer than the enemy expert pilot!

One of the consequences to all of this was that the powerful new transphasic tech at her disposal no longer made a difference in her fight against the First Sword.

"What are you made of?! Why do you Larkinsons design such weird mechs? There shouldn't be any phasewater in your mech!"

The powerful high-tier expert pilot did not believe that the First Sword could last forever against the storm.

Even if the Shockshell's formidable arsenal was no longer able to bypass the defenses of the First Sword, then it would just keep attacking and attacking until the strange spatial barrier finally ran out of energy!

"I don't believe your new defenses will be able to last much longer!"

This was unfortunately true. Qilanxo was a spiritual life form that ultimately existed in another realm. It took considerable strain on the part of Venerable Dise and the First Sword to channel just a portion of the big lizard's might from afar.

"Orfan!" Dise shouted. "Hurry up and relieve me! I don't have any other measures left!"
