The Mech Touch novel Chapter 5491

Chapter 5491 Powerful Vitality

Everyone held their breaths as the Monster Slayer piloted by Captain Gheri astonishingly landed on the back of the Giant Stone Eater and plunged its greatsword straight through the center of the spine!

The massive creature had stilled.

All active forms of earth energy manipulation froze.

Did the Larkinsons manage to fell the beast?

"Its legs are giving in. The beast is starting to collapse!"

"Be careful and don't get affected by the crash!"

The crater rumbled as the considerable weight of the heavily injured Giant Stone Eater collapsed onto its belly!

All of its remaining limbs no longer moved anymore as the damage inflicted by Captain Gheri's final move proved to be too devastating!

Though the volume of her final resonance-empowered attack was not great, the concentration of energies had become so high that her energy attack successfully managed to sever the hardy bones that made up the spine!

A huge amount of critical nerves had been cut apart in a way that ruled out any way for the beast to regenerate the damage.

The Monster Slayer that stood triumphantly on the monster's uneven back still managed to stay upright under this situation.

The damaged and beaten mech looked especially heroic in this unique moment. Though its physical condition had deteriorated by a considerable degree, its spirit shone like a sharpened blade that reflected glittering stars!

This hard-fought victory clearly pushed Captain Gheri and her Monster Slayer beyond their previous limits!

They had never been able to pull off a move as strong as the one that landed the fatal blow onto the Giant Stone Eater in the past.

It was only now when they challenged a mutated beast that was stronger and less easy to deal with than before that they had successfully figured out a better way to combine their strengths.

The burden of fulfilling a mission issued by the patriarch who observed this hunt from the start made Captain Gheri even more unwilling to back off during this fight.

She had made numerous dangerous gambles during this fight, and she had somehow managed to prevail.

If anything went wrong during the final minute, then there was a large chance that the Giant Stone Eater would have wrecked her mech with her inside of it as well.

There were too many uncertain moments where she could have failed.

The other mechs might have gotten caught by the devastating attacks of the Giant Stone Eater.

The empowered leap of the Monster Slayer may have fallen short of reaching the monster's back. _{ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom}

She could have botched her adapted extraordinary sword technique, causing her Monster Slayer's greatsword to fail in severing the spine of the powerful mutated beast!

Yet by concentrating her willpower further and combining it with the strength and sharpness of her partner mech, their intimate pairing managed to produce a result that was far greater than anything they had managed to unleash in their past hunts!

Everyone grew impressed by what the Swordmaiden captain had accomplished. Her feat was bound to become immortalized in the record of the Ocanon VI Branch of the Larkinson Clan.

Captain Gheri soon snapped out of her inexcusable moment of enlightenment.

Though she reveled in her substantial boost in combat power, she had hunted down enough mutated beasts to know that defeating them was anything but simple.

The annoying part about mutated beasts was that killing blows that worked for ordinary exobeasts might not have the same effect for their stronger counterparts.

Shattering the heart of a mutated beast would not kill it outright when it had evolved a redundant heart.

"Pay attention!" She barked over the communication channel. "Stay sharp and get ready to finish this beast off if it makes any move. Cut off its remaining legs just to be sure. I would rather ruin its corpse entirely than to risk an accident in a misguided attempt to preserve its value."

A less heavily damaged mutated beast carcass offered a lot more value to researchers and hunters who sought to absorb its power, but far too many hunters suffered accidents by misjudging the conditions of their supposed prey.

Her hunting team all consisted of highly experienced mech pilots, so none of them let down their guard. They all positioned their machines so that they could quickly inflict crippling damage if anything set off their triggers.

In the meantime, the mechs directed as much power to their sensor and scanning systems as possible.

They needed to ascertain the physical state of the paralyzed and heavily injured Giant Stone Eater in order to confirm that it had truly lost its ability to resist.

More importantly than that, the mechs also needed to be on the lookout for other powerful beasts that sought to ambush the hunting team just when it had completed an exhausting fight.

Even though extremely powerful mutated beasts generally worked hard to deter other powerful beasts from invading their territories, who knew whether there were other monsters lurking in the shadows.

A proper hunting team had to account for many what-ifs in order to survive on this planet in the long run.

Fortunately, the sensors and scanners did not pick any concerning readings.

The Sorara #390 Hunting Ground was sparse to begin with, and the Giant Stone Eater offered no attraction to the few power beasts in the vicinity.

As for the earth monster itself, the creature was constantly losing more and more strength. Its wounds were no longer regenerating as effectively as before. Liters of liters of precious lifeblood spilled out of its many sword and puncture wounds and spilled onto the jagged and uneven ground.

Even so, the vitality of this giant beast was so great that it was still far from dying.

There was a considerable risk that it might develop a mutation that enabled it to regain control over its crippled body.
