The Mech Touch novel Chapter 4866

Chapter 4866 Exhaustion

The mechs couldn't fight much longer at this pace.

Each of the mechs had been moving around a lot, which meant that they used their energy reserves at a much higher rate than was sustainable.

Normal mechs could keep going like this for quite a while, but tournaments usually restricted the amount of energy that mechs could have in order to prevent them from stalling matches for hours at a time.

The matches of the Twin Weapons Tournament obviously weren't meant to last that long, so the rules had been rather heavy-handed about limiting their maximum energy reserves.

The mech pilots participating in this tournament were all aware of these limitations. Even if they used their best possible means to reduce the amount of energy they were expending, their mechs were still moving closer to exhaustion with each exertion they made.

When the Furia had thrown its final axe towards the back of the Double Up, the latter had to use an extreme maneuver to get out of the way!

Its abused frame groaned as plenty of components strained under the heavy force that it was trying to summon.

The Double Up succeeded at dodging the axe, but it paid a considerable price by moving out of the way!

Two strikes from the Furia's integrated luminar crystal laser guns accurately managed to add another pair of scorch marks onto the Double Up's damaged armor.

Despite the relatively thin layers that protected the stripped knight mech, its final layer of protection held up remarkably well against the attacks it had endured up to this point.

Beatrice Hendrix might excel in designing modular armor systems, but that did not mean she was unable to design regular armor systems. The protective layers that wrapped up the lighter frame had performed admirably and highlighted their creator's talent and skills once again!

Unfortunately, all of the abuses that the Double Up had suffered caused it to be pushed closer to the brink.

Lizzie and Bobby recognized this. They might not understand the technical side of mechs all that much, but their experience, intuition and observation abilities allowed them to know that the Double Up was like a house on the verge of collapse!

The two mech pilots took action without needing to exchange any words. They inherently understood each other's intentions on a subtle level. Even though neither of them had a good idea of what their partner had in mind, their shared training and understanding of each other's fighting methods enabled them to coordinate their actions on the fly!

"They're trying to finish off the Double Up!"

The Sensia and the Furia threw aside all considerations in an effort to take down the toughest and most resilient mech they fought against so far. The Double Up for its part could do little but to move away while raising its sword and modular buckler for a final stand.

There was no way for the Double Up to open up any distance to its current adversaries. It may have shed a lot of armor but it was never really designed with speed in mind. Beatrice Hendrix possessed a lot of strengths as a mech designer but she rarely focused on imparting her works with greater mobility.

Aside from that, the forced dodging maneuver it performed just a few seconds ago had also caused permanent internal damage that caused it to move a little less smoothly than before!

With two different mechs ganging up on the Double Up, the latter mech ultimately decided to stop its flight.

Instead, its pilot decided that if his mech was likely to go down, the least he could do was drag down an enemy mech while his machine could still fight!

"The Sensia is taking serious damage!"

While three of the mechs converged upon each other, the Triple Spray had not remained idle.

It had previously been firing its triple-barreled rifle at the Furia, but its weapon did not seem to have much of an effect against the hybrid mech.

Now that the Furia had stopped exerting pressure on the Triple Spray, the light harasser mech was completely free to turn its gun towards its original target, which was the Sensia!

Lizzie Cado winced as the light skirmisher under her control started to sound alarms due to all of the bullets that sprayed against the side of the machine.

Some of the bullets even managed to strike the damaged rear armor at an angle. This was particularly alarming because the Sensia truly couldn't afford to take much more damage from this side!

However, finishing off the Double Up was more important, so Lizzie pushed through the danger and eventually managed to bring her light skirmisher close to its target!

"Fall!"

The pilot of the Double Up was happy to meet the Sensia in combat.

Unlike the previous times where the Double Up focused on blocking incoming attacks while occasionally launching a counterattack whenever possible, the stripped mech abandoned almost every pretense at defense and committed to a full attack!

Clang!

One of the knives darting forward were deflected by the buckler that covered the frontal weak point.

The other knife managed to sink into the damaged chest armor of the Double Up. No modular armor plating or other fancy defensive measures took effect, so the knife truly managed to penetrate through the thin protection.

Unfortunately for Team Larkinson, the Sensia's success also opened it up for a devastating counterattack!

The light skirmisher attempted to pull out and either parry the incoming blow or move out the way.

The swift mech had a decent shot at doing so if not for the fact that the Double Up actually gripped the Sensia's stretched arm!

The limb that held the knife that had just sunk into the chest of the stripped mech turned into a shackle that held the light skirmisher in place, if only for a moment!

"Let go!" Lizzie Cado boomed as the light skirmisher's other knife swung and attempted to cut through half of the wrist of the Double Up!

This did not work because the damaged but still functional modular buckler had changed its shape and orientation to block this attack!

The Sensia's response to this was to stab at the Double Up's frontal weak point that had become exposed due to losing the protection of the buckler.

This forced the Double Up to let go of its sword with its other limb and lock the Sensia into place!

"Danger!"

While all of this happened, The Triple Spray had circled around to get a better firing angle. It managed to do so before it dropped down to a knee and assume a stable firing posture.

Its triple-barreled rifle soon began to spit out bullet after bullet in a straight trajectory towards the rear armor of the briefly immobilized Sensia!

These attacks were different than before. The Triple Spray showed no concern with getting chased or getting attacked and focused completely on accurately landing its shots on one of the Sensia's vulnerable weak points in the rear!
