The Mech Touch novel Chapter 5125

The conflagration had spread!

As soon as the segmented transphasic energy shield coverage of the yurzen battleship exhibited a gap, Kiroshi instantly spotted the opportunity and slipped past this powerful barrier!

This temporary vulnerability wouldn't have been as serious if the kilometers-long alien vessel featured multi-layered transphasic energy shields.

However, the yurzens were only treated as a minor race in the Red Ocean. Their access to advanced tech and higher quality materials were severely constrained due to the deliberate suppression of the major races that always had the greatest say over the dwarf galaxy.

This was why the yurzens had no effective means to prevent Kiroshi from bypassing the most important defensive barrier that protected the large and relatively expensive warship from outside threats!

At first, the aliens hoped that the purple fire would run out of propellant to burn.

They assumed that the previous conflagration that had engulfed much of the surface of their transphasic energy shields had only managed to grow so big due to the constant follow-up shots by the Promethea.

Now that the energy shield coverage had been repaired, the expert rifleman mech that was able to fire purple flaming beams should not be able to supplement the relatively small that was locked on the other side of the barrier!

That was what the aliens thought at least. Their logic was not wrong, but how could they know that expert pilots like to defy common sense the most?

The 'small' purple flame was not an ordinary kind of chemical reaction.

It was alive. Controlled and centered around a companion spirit and empowered by the resonance of an expert pilot, the extraordinary purple fire took root into the light transphasic alloys that made up the outer layers of the alien warship.

Although the alloys utilized by the natives of the Red Ocean were not as tough as those utilized by the humans, their density and resilience were not low!

Their resistance towards heat and radiation was quite high, and few aliens could ever imagine that these dedicated protective layers could ever catch fire.

Yet that was currently happening under the conscious and deliberate actions of Kiroshi.

The spiritual cat not only invested her own strength into trying to make the alloys combustible, but she already drew upon the ambient spiritual energies in the environment to reduce her burden and feed the flames even more!

The quick crash course in fire spells taught by Ves before the battle granted Isobel and her companion spirit a lot of useful insights!

Though the companion spirit did not acquire a formal cultivation method that could truly enable her to harness the element of fire as if she was its incarnation, Kiroshi was nonetheless able to employ simple and rudimentary methods to take advantage of E energy radiation!

This was a power that the yurzens had yet to master or become aware of, so they could do nothing to prevent the living flames from absorbing the vital spiritual energies they needed to not only sustain themselves, but also enhance their burning properties even further!

The yurzens desperately tried to douse the flames that were slowly spreading across the hull of their largest warship. Their measures became more and more extreme.

Several large nuzzles surrounded the purple fire that had taken root and spouted large amounts of water and other fire-suppression substances.

Several nearby gun turrets lowered their cannons as much as possible before firing straight through the flames no matter the risk of hitting other exterior modules!

A few shuttles launched from the hangar bay and proceeded to launch a payload of bombs and missiles in an attempt to disperse the flames.

Even that did not work!

The flames completely ignored the ordinary forces that should normally be enough to douse them, and continued in their mission to burn through the thick but ultimately vulnerable layers of alloys that made up the exterior of the alien capital ship!

This time, the yurzens truly became desperate. After a short but intense deliberation, the aliens chose to commit an act of self-harm in order to avoid even greater damage down the line.

A transphasic missile launched from a port, only to turn around and explode right in the middle of the conflagration!

This powerful detonation tore a hole through all of the exterior layers and breached multiple outer compartments!

Many different sensor modules and nearby gun batteries either got vaporized or fractured into pieces as the transphasic explosion mercilessly engulfed all of these parts that took a lot of effort and resources to produce.

A gaping hole had been left behind in the hull. The crater went deep enough to destroy several layers of compartments.

If not for the fact that the yurzens stationed in the danger zone had been evacuated in advance, the self-harm would have been a lot more serious!

The idea of the yurzens was not all that bad this time. Since the strangely stubborn and persistent purple fire apparently needed to eat through solid matter in order to propagate, why not wipe out all of the nearby alloys and other materials?

The aliens did not believe that the purple fire could still exist when there was nothing left but vacuum in the vicinity!

Yet as the dust began to settle, the faint optimism that welled inside of the hearts of the yurzens quickly disappeared.

Distressed noises escaped from their alien mouths as they saw that the purple fire had somehow managed to survive the devastation!

Though it had shrunk and lost a lot of volume due to the explosion, Kiroshi still managed to keep herself together.

Not only that, she purposefully moved towards the large exposed hole in the hull and began to engulf the bulkheads and other structural parts that were weaker and softer than the exterior layers!

The conflagration quickly grew in size and scope as Kiroshi spread the fires under her control at a considerably faster pace!
