The Mech Touch novel Chapter 4810

Chapter 4810 Enemy Troop Qualities

When Ketis finally got loose inside the ranks of the pescan defenders, she completely came into her element!

She had waited long and hard to get this far. She remained patient and held herself back when she knew that the furious pescans killed a lot of good men and women with each passing minute.

Ketis knew her limits, and just because she was a swordmaster did not mean she could literally fight an entire army by herself.

She was also older and more responsible than her younger self. She had a husband and a pair of lovely children to get back to. She also had a lot of mech design-related ambitions that she wanted to fulfill.

"I am not going to die in this awful place!"

It was only now when all of the alien commanders and most of the pescan soldiers became fully preoccupied with resisting the main group of human attackers that she could finally let loose!

With Sharpie inhabiting the high-quality one-handed sword that she forged herself, the weapon began to shine and resonate with her powerful will.

A connection had formed between Ketis and the weapon she had forged in the past!

No matter whether the sword had been made for the hand of another soldier, Ketis could wield many different blades, and the ones she made herself were especially compatible due to the inherent bond between a maker and her work!

Even though a part of her deeply wished she could have brought her oversized but insanely sharp and strong Bloodsinger, the performance of this sword was not that bad.

She did not worry about the blade snapping or breaking at the worst possible time. The true resonance she generated with her sword reinforced its hardness in an unexplainable way, much like how expert mechs readily performed several times better than their technical capabilities suggested.

The biggest boost she was able to apply to her sword was a massive increase to its sharpness.

Ketis had already tried to imbue the blade with as much sharpness as possible. Resonating with it and allowing Sharpie to bless its properties amplified the strength it already possessed and multiplied it to a point where cutting through ordinary alloys felt like cutting through butter!

As she sprinted and weaved across the alien houses and other constructions, her sword arm frequently slashed and stabbed at the weak points in the armored battle suits of her opponents.

"I could certainly use a cutting edge." She muttered as she tested how easily she was able to penetrate through the armor of her adversaries.

The pescans were larger, taller and more sluggish than humans. Speed was not their forte, so they developed a fighting approach that relied on strong armor, strong energy shields and powerful penetrating weapons that were designed to brutalize other tough opponents.

These battle suit-wearing pescans excelled at fighting their own kind, but experienced great difficulties trying to fend off fast-moving attackers like herself!

One of the reasons why Ketis declined to borrow a quasi-first-class suit of combat armor from the honor guards was because each of them had been designed with defense as the main priority.

As the guards to the most important individual of the clan, it was their duty to absorb attacks in place of Ves!

Their bulkiness and lack of fluidity not only affected her swordsmanship, but also her movement speed.

She did not have that problem with her current suit which she borrowed from a Davutan guard soldier.

Not only did it fit her dimensions better, but it had partially been designed with rapid relocation in mind.

Even if it was not as fast as she wished, the speed produced by the powerful servos built into the limbs of the combat armor were more than powerful and responsive enough to enhance her advancement speed.

These aliens didn't know how to cope against fast-moving soldiers!

Their vision and experiences were too limited. Even if they were sharp enough to anticipate her movements and predict her positioning, Ketis was always able to read their intentions in advance and turn her orientation on the spot to avoid getting caught in a trap.

The intuition of a swordmaster towards imminent danger was just as good as that of an expert pilot!

In fact, it was even better because any attack was liable to damage her precious body, whereas expert pilots could still rely on the strong resonance shield and thick armor of their mechs to tank any incoming blows.

"My blade hungers for your alien blood!" She roared as she dashed towards a pescan officer equipped with a more decorated battle suit.

The additional frills and integrated equipment did not avail the alien officer. Although a turret mounted on the shoulder of the battle suit rapidly tracked Ketis' incoming form, the swordmaster dove to the side and hid behind a thick supply crate an instant before the weapon discharged a moderately powerful laser beam!

The cover wouldn't have been of much use if it had been a transphasic weapon, but fortunately the small turret was just a regular energy weapon.

Once the turret had unloaded its firepower, Ketis dashed out again and circled around so that she could swing her sword onto the thick neck of the enemy officer.

Swish!

Another helmeted alien head soared into the air!

Ketis sneered as the powerful servos of her borrowed medium combat armor helped her dash behind a half-ruined alien food storehouse.

She briefly glanced at the blood that was rapidly sliding off her glowing sword.

The blood that flowed from pescan bodies was red, just like that of human bodies. This was because both of them relied on iron in their blood to supply oxygen to their bodies.

Although there were many physiological differences between humans and pescans, it didn't matter to a Swordmaiden.

She was not an exobiologist. She was a swordmaster. She killed for a living and these aliens happened to be in her way!

"Die!"

Ketis exhibited no mercy as she utilized the antigrav module of her combat armor to boost her way up the roof of a two-story alien housing unit. She dashed across the roof and jumped off the edge, causing her to dive in the middle of a squad of armored pescan civilians that had been trying to huddle together for safety.

"Fall beneath my edge!"

The sword in her hand manifested an energy blade that was thrice as long and thick as the original!

As Ketis' feet landed onto the shoulders of an unfortunate alien, her empowered blade hacked onto the heads and torsos of five more aliens at a time!

Machinery failed and blood spurted from the cavities as the blade had done its job!
