The Mech Touch novel Chapter 4320

After the Skorpion Kommando became sandwiched by both the Promethea and half of the Nullifier Battalion, the expert space knight came under increasing suppression.

Though it was able to rely on its strong transphasic armor system to buy a lot of time for itself, the problem was that both the Promethea and the Nullifer mechs possessed enough firepower grind the Skorpion Kommando over time!

More crucial components such as the flight system, the various booster modules and the Skorpion Tail no longer looked as pristine as before as numerous hits damaged their exteriors and threatened to disable them entirely!

"Ahh!"

A powerful attack from the Promethea managed to damage a part of the Skorpion Kommando's flight system, thereby directly reducing its mobility to a small extent.

As the Skorpion Kommando came under greater pressure, Venerable Oskar Virathon became more vicious than before!

His expert mech's attacks struck harder as Oskar did not hesitate to take greater risks.

The Shield of Samar that consistently prevented the Skorpion Kommando from running away got struck by many sword strikes and numerous painful Skorpion Tail attacks!

The latter especially posed a great threat to the living mech. The Shield of Samar experienced great pain that fed back to Venerable Jannzi, causing her to grow angrier to the suffering that her opponent inflicted!

"MY FRONTAL ARMOR IS FULL OF HOLES." The Shield of Samar groaned. "I CANNOT ENDURE THESE ATTACKS MUCH LONGER. TOO MUCH OF MY INTERNALS ARE EXPOSED."

"Do you want to retreat?" Venerable Jannzi asked.

The Shield of Samar conveyed a clear sense of rejection. "NO. WE ARE THE ONLY ONES THAT CAN STOP THE SKORPION KOMMANDO FROM RAMPAGING THROUGH OUR REAR LINES. IT IS NOT JUST THE PROMETHEA AND THE NULLIFIER BATTALION THAT ARE IN DANGER."

The living expert mech was right. The Golden Skull Alliance could hardly field any other expert mech that could restrain the Skorpion Kommando!

Venerable Jannzi and the Shield of Samar therefore tried to endure the onslaught as much possible, hoping to spread out the incoming venom attacks as much possible

After experiencing the Skorpion Kommando's signature attack numerous times, Jannzi had become a lot more proficient at anticipating and mitigating its damage.

While her Shield of Samar wasn't fast enough to evade the deadly Skorpion Tail attack entirely, it was enough to deflect or redirect this powerful limb to the more intact sections of the living mech.

In addition, Jannzi's close relationship with Qilanxo allowed the latter to project momentary spatial barriers that offered modest but crucial protection to the exposed internals!

"Keep holding on, Sammie! The Skorpion Kommando is already starting to decline."

Jannzi managed to preserve the performance of her expert mech for a longer time by employing various techniques, but she could not keep doing this without a price. The most immediate consequence was that the Shield of Samar's irreplaceable Unending alloy armor was steadily melting away!

Although the loss of all of this bulky alloy reduced the mass of the Shield of Samar and made it easier for it to keep up with the Skorpion Kommando, the biggest downside aside from losing a lot of protection was that it was losing a lot of spiritual capacity!

Unending alloy played a crucial role in enhancing how much spiritual energy from its design spirit it was able to contain.

Each ton of Unending alloy that dissolved from its frame turned it into a weaker prime mech.

After so much of the Shield of Samar's exterior got worn away, the help that Qilanxo was able to provide became a lot more limited.

Venerable Oskar immediately recognized these changes and began to wait for the right moment.

As soon as the Shield of Samar attempted to defend itself against another Skorpion Tail attack, the stinger suddenly expanded and released a wider spread of corrosive fluids than before!

The cone of venom spread out into space and splattered across the entire surface of the Shield of Samar!

Many shallow holes began to form in the armor that was still intact, but what was even worse was that numerous exposed internal systems received damage as well!

Even if the damage to these parts were relatively limited due to their inherent resilience and the high degree of compartmentalization of the Shield of Samar, the expert space knight unavoidably stalled for an instant!

Venerable Oskar completely exploded with the energy that he had left!

"Hah! No defense is impregnable against my expert mech. Now that I've put you in your place, let me take care of your comrades and show you that your knightly duty is an exercise in futility!"

Though the Shield of Samar was more vulnerable than ever, Venerable Oskar still understood that it would take quite a bit of time and effort to defeat the hardy mech completely.

The Promethea and the Nullifier Battalion would never stand by and allow the Skorpion Kommando to finish the job.

Considering that the ranged mechs posed the greatest threat against the Skorpion Kommando at this time, Venerable Oskar urgently wanted to get rid of them first!

He had already set his sights on the damaged Promethea. Not only was it a lot more vulnerable than before, but destroying it would immediately relieve a lot of pressure.

Of course, Venerable Isobel did not allow her Promethea to become a sitting duck. She drove her expert mech to the rear of the Larkinson Clan in an attempt to delay interception while luring the Skorpion Kommando further away from enemy lines.

Since the mobility of both the Promethea and the Skorpion Kommando became impaired, it would have taken a long time for the latter to catch up to its target.

Venerable Oskar already arranged a solution to this problem.

"Kasia!"

The Star of Liberation that had been dueling the Amaranto for a while now was no longer in a good condition. However, Venerable Kasia Rezkin still managed to squeeze out a quick snapshot at the distant Promethea before she went back to restraining her main opponent!

The overlapping resonance-empowered laser and positron beam that quickly roared across the battlefield was not the strongest possible attack of the Star of Liberation.

Its power just happened to be enough to precisely strike the exposed rear of the Promethea!

Though Venerable Isobel's intuition detected the threat in advance, she was still too weak and her expert mech was no longer in a fit enough state to evade the attack entirely.

Two powerful energy blasts erupted from the rear of the Promethea in quick succession!

While the firepower outputted by the ranged high-tier expert rifleman mech did not succeed in destroying the Promethea outright, the latter's flight system was no longer operational as more than half of its components were destroyed.

"What is your status, Isobel?!" Jannzi urgently asked.

"My Promethea has lost the ability to move." The strained expert pilot reported. "Aside from a few boosters, my expert mech can't move anymore. My machine is drifting space and I can't do anything else aside from turning my mech around so that I can minimize its silhouette." _{ƒгeewebnovёl.com}

"Damn! The Skorpion Kommando is rapidly gaining on your Promethea and my Shield of Samar can't catch up. I highly advise you to eject."

"...I can't!"

"Please repeat that, Isobel."

"I can't eject!" The ranged specialist spoke. "The strike to my rear is worse than I thought. Too much of the ejection mechanism has malfunctioned to the point where the backup systems aren't even working anymore. I'm stuck!"

"What?!"

The news rocked Venerable Jannzi's mind.

Her mind and will become more active than ever as she rapidly tried to figure out ways to prevent her fellow expert pilot from dying. rades at the cost of putting herself at risk, would she choose to do her duty and abide by the tenets of a knight?
