The Mech Touch novel Chapter 4874

A shotgun slug impacted the damaged, burned and dented frontal armor of the Lancernaut.

Compared to how it looked at the start of the match, the centaur mech with a lance looked a lot worse than before!

Its large frame and its inability to evade ranged attacks had forced it to resist attack after attack with its armor alone.

Although the centaur mech was able to endure a lot of punishment, the Furia's previous attacks had not been completely useless.

Its frontal armor had weakened to the point where Bobby Orwell was able to inflict real damage onto the Lancernaut!

As the centaur mech swept forward with the intention of finishing off the most powerful mech fighting on behalf of Team Larkinson, its own mech pilot knew that there was no other choice but to take the attacks head-on and hope that the machine was sturdy enough to withstand the barrage!

[What a courageous mech pilot! That is exactly what we want to see from a lancer mech pilot. Just as with light skirmishers, mech pilots who have chosen to pilot lancer mechs must be ready and willing to gamble with their lives each time they deploy into battle. Their capacity to destroy the toughest and heaviest mechs is unrivaled, but the danger they incur is also formidable. The few that manage to survive the journey to godhood are all legends who can pose the greatest threat against their peers. Anyone who wants to reach this level of strength one day must possess the recklessness to pilot a machine as dangerous as a lancer mech.]

[Will the Lancernaut be able to last or not? I cannot say. It depends on the marksmanship and firepower of the Furia and its pilot. Both sides only have a single chance left to finish their opponents and advance to the next round. Let us see how this match shall end!]

The metal hooves of the Lancernaut thundered across the arena space of Spencer Hall. Many people in the audience had stood up and cheered for their favorite mechs and teams!

The distinguished mech designers and officials who had come to observe Ves Larkinson in action paid close attention to how the Furia would handle this situation. Could the hybrid mech successfully fell its opponent when it had lost an entire arm and more?

Boom!

The shotgun of the Furia fired the last slug on hand. This crucial attack almost managed to slam into one of the damaged and exposed breaches in the Lancernaut's frontal armor.

However, the pilot of the centaur mech purposefully commanded the four-legged machine to interrupt its forward motion. The Lancernaut jerked and almost fell, only to pick itself up again before it was too late!

This rapid move had altered the centaur mech's trajectory just enough to prevent the shotgun slug from slamming deep into the machine's internals.

Instead, it slammed against a thick but heavily damaged armor plate that ultimately broke under impact!

Plenty of internal components soon broke as the kinetic forces unleashed by the impact continued to run their course.

The Lancernaut slowed down to a small extent as the closest leg exhibited several problems due to this attack.

However, the mech was still cantering forward with dogged persistence!

Two of its legs no longer functioned as well as before, but that didn't seem to bother the Lancernaut all that much.

The pilot had become completely obsessed with finishing the job!

Those who were more sensitive could detect that the mech pilot had tried to channel his will and obsession onto his lancer mech. A pale form of resonance had formed between the two that seemed to cut through the air in an attempt to drive the lance as fast and deep into the center of the Furia's torso as much as possible!

"Bring it on!" Bobby Orwell hissed as his blood burned with the heat of excitement!

As its name suggested, the Furia was a hot and offensive mech. It was not never content with staying on the defense.

Though Bobby already formed a decent relationship with the Furia during the previous matches, now that the mech had lost an arm, the two had become more desperate to secure a win.

They could not afford to disappoint the maker of the Twin Souls!

Bobby started to roar for no reason aside from feeling that it would help him attune to the Furia!

This had been the right move because he could feel the line between himself and his living mech blur.

The Furia had been at the enemy as well!

With shotgun pellets and laser beams, the hybrid mech continued to fulfill its role to the best of its abilities. The Lancernaut kept getting struck again and again to the point where parts visibly broke with every strike!

Nonetheless, the Lancernaut still refused to be stopped. Its speed may have dropped to 70 percent of its peak and its ability to control its own mass and direction had worsened considerably, but as long as it could still grip a lance while running forward, the centaur mech would always remain deadly!

[The Furia has failed to take down the Lancernaut fast enough!]

As the centaur mech finally came close enough, the Furia made two surprising moves.

First, it threw its shotgun in the direction of the charging mech!

The weapon smacked almost uselessly against the charging mech, but the action itself had broken the strange state of concentration of its pilot. The disruption was not too significant, but the disrupted rhythm still caused the Lancernaut to slow down to a minute extent.

Second, the Furia threw itself to the side with such desperation that it did not even bother to maintain its balance!

Just like a goalkeeper of an ancient sport, the one-armed mech dove in the completely wrong direction to catch the 'ball', except this time intercepting it was suicide!

Crack!

"Ahhh!"

Not all of the Furia managed to come out unscathed this time.

One of the feet of the hybrid mech failed to get out of the way of the speeding machine. It cracked and broke after colliding against the front of the Lancernaut.

However, even as the Furia lost one of its feet, the centaur mech had incurred even more damage to internals due to getting 'kicked' during its failed charge!
