The Mech Touch novel Chapter 5428

Chapter 5428 The Weakest Link

CRACKLE!

The cockpit of the Elemental Lord violently jerked yet again. The drone mech was reeling from the latest blow inflicted by the tribulation warrior that mastered the power of wind!

Major Jankowksi's highly augmented brain was working at its very limit to keep up with the wind swordsman's blazingly fast moves, but the pressure exerted by this alien adversary was too great!

A lot of distant observers grew shocked by how quickly the difficulty of the lightning tribulation had escalated. The relatively smooth progress in the previous waves had given them the illusion that the subsequent ones would not ramp up so quickly, but the reality turned out to be different.

Only the ones with greater vision and knowledge knew that a lightning tribulation of this magnitude was much crueler in nature. It showed no mercy towards any subject that failed to meet its exceedingly high standards.

A comprehensive multi-modal lightning tribulation did not leave any room for weaknesses! Any shortcoming that negatively affected the performance of the subject would inevitably become exposed and lead to its downfall!

As Ves winced from the latest shock, he desperately tried to think of a way to overcome this predicament.

The fact that he hurriedly moved back to his Unending Regalia in order to take shelter in its protection was a clear sign that he had lost a lot of confidence in his work!

It couldn't be helped. As a mech designer who had lived through plenty of battles, his ability to read the battlefield was not trivial.

His ability to process data was already great, and it had improved even further after his continuous exposure to tribulation lightning substantially upgraded all of his capabilities.

He actually felt a lot more bloated than before. If not for the automatic space folding effect generated by his rapidly improved phase lord cultivation, he was afraid that his true body size would have surpassed the internal volume of this cockpit!

CRACKLE!

"Meow!"

"Ah!"

The Elemental Lord suffered another damaging impact!

It turned out that when the Elemental Lord successfully managed to block both sword strikes from the Wind Warrior, the latter actually lashed out with a powerful wind-infused kick!

Normally, a kick like this shouldn't have done more than to shove the Elemental Lord back, but the concentrated gathering of wind E energy sped it up to the point where it struck the mech's midsection with the force of a battering ram!

The armor plating covering the abdomen of the Elemental Lord had fractured!

This was despite its extensive physical and metaphysical reinforcement!

This move caused Ves' heart to chill even further. The four-armed alien produced by the lightning tribulation possessed too many advantages!

In terms of swordsmanship, the veteran first-class mech officer was clearly outmatched by the wind swordsman.

In terms of speed, a quasi first class standard mech like the Elemental Lord was far inferior to a qi cultivator that commanded the power of wind!

In terms of force, the momentum that the wind warrior could produce to empower its attacks did not make it weak at all. There was little the Elemental Lord could do to deliver any strong impacts.

The five brothers did not want to admit defeat, though. Their very lives were on the line, and they tried harder than ever to exert their growing abilities in effective ways.

"The speed differential is too great! We need to slow this swordsman down or increase our own speed. Fifth brother, are you making any progress in generating an energy field that can suppress or constrict the wind?"

The wood fey had been under a lot of pressure to find a way to constrain the movements of this powerful tribulation warrior.

"I can't! The wind swordsman's power and control over the forces of wind are too deep. The metal-water-wood chain doesn't seem to make a difference!"

"How can that be?! You are harnessing the power of three elements at the same time, while this tribulation warrior only truly leverages the wind element."

"Isn't it obvious? This wind swordsman's cultivation is much stronger and more focused. Just because it only specializes in one element doesn't necessarily mean it is weaker than our combinations."

The difference in accumulation was too great. The lightning tribulation clearly simulated the performance of a highly trained and experienced alien swordsman who was probably in his prime.

The Elemental Lord was technically a newborn in comparison! This matchup was not fair at all in that regard!

As the prospect of losing loomed over the mech, the atmosphere in the cockpit had grown more depressed.

If not for the fact that Major Jankowski was still doing his utmost to coordinate with the five brothers to keep up with the horrifying pace of the wind swordsman, he would have put a lot more thought into pulling the emergency ejection lever!

As Ves quickly managed to restore his armor, he went back to using his administrator access to tweak the settings of the mech and facilitate its damage control activities.

However, this was clearly not enough to turn the tide of this frantic duel and give his mech an opportunity to defeat its opponent.

Even stalling did not work! The fire fey and the earth fey had not ceased to fire their empowered hyper weapons at the wind warrior, but their target remained too elusive to hit.

Even if the two offensive fey managed to land a lucky blow, a wind shield swirled into existence that sapped much of the elements that reinforced the attack!

The defenses of the wind swordsman turned out to be formidable as well. As a qi cultivator who excelled in close quarter combat, this duel-wielding alien had developed a remarkably deep mastery in the application of wind E energy!

As Ves continued to analyze the data, he found it increasingly harder to optimize and improve the performance of the Elemental Lord.

It did not help that the mech incurred substantial damage every few seconds or so. The more the Elemental Lord suffered an attack, the more prone it became to getting hit again due to a reduction in performance!

There was nothing Ves could do to reverse this increasingly more dominant trend.

Ves briefly glanced in the direction of the cockpit.

Much of the reason why the Elemental Lord was losing out against this wind warrior was because his latest work suffered a glaring weakness.
