The Mech Touch novel Chapter 5492

Chapter 5492 A New Unity

Ves could slowly feel the powerful vitality contained within the massive body of the Giant Stone Eater draining at a rapid pace.

As a mech designer who possessed a strong affinity towards life, he could easily sense that the massive creature's body was not able to sustain itself any longer.

Though it would still take a long time for the enormous beast to suspend all of its biological process, its death had been sealed from the moment a pair of Monster Slayers cut off its head.

Several minutes passed by as Ves and Blinky carefully harvested the dying spirituality of the Giant Stone Eater and stuffed it into the P-stone.

This was a difficult and delicate process. While it was not that hard to harvest a few gains from the dying beast, the true challenge lay in preserving the integrity of the spirit as much as possible.

There were numerous times where Blinky had to act forcefully in order to separate the spirit from the body.

Soon enough, Ves grinned in satisfaction as his new P-stone contained the spirituality of a very angry, confused and disoriented mutated beast.

The additional trauma to its soul had caused it to lose its awareness and rationality. It would probably take a few weeks for it to recover its wits and understand the reality of its new life as an intangible entity.

Ves reminded himself that he or one of his spirits should keep an eye on this creature.

Ordinary spiritualities salvaged from dying organisms had lost their physical roots. Back during the Age of Mechs, that meant that they would slowly die and dissipate in a low energy environment.

This time was different. A medium energy environment might be able to provide enough support for the Giant Stone Eater to recover and live out an independent existence.

"I can't let you escape."

He needed to devise a better means to store his salvaged spiritualities. Though Ves recognized the value of the Giant Stone Eater in all kinds of earth and defense-based design applications, he was not able to use its spirituality to its full potential at this time.

Ves had yet to study the earth element on a deeper level. He only possessed a shallow understanding of this E energy attribute. He wanted to wait until he had made a lot more progress in comprehending the power of earth before he utilized his new spiritual ingredients in the best possible fashion.

"At least I don't have to wait in order to delve deeper into the earth element."

One of the ways he could take advantage of the spirituality of the Giant Stone Eater was to study it in its current form.

The mutated beast had developed numerous inherent applications of manipulating earth-attributed E energy on its own. It had become particularly strong in several sub-categories such as drawing power from the soil, reinforcing the body to make it tougher and physically manipulating rocks in order to form a thick layer of stone armor.

If Ves was able to decipher these concepts well enough, he could potentially bestow his landbound mechs with much greater strength than normal!

Even if he did not excel in defense, he could work together with a defensive specialist such as Sara Voiken and make their mechs a lot tougher and more resilient than usual!

Of course, none of this was easy to attain. Ves needed to put in a lot of work and utilize his new gains properly in order to produce superior results.

Once Ves carefully set aside the filled P-stone, he returned his attention to the hunting team.

The beast had just been slain, but that did not mean that everyone's work was over.

The Crystal Lords all remained vigilant and on guard. They had already split up so that they could surround the edge of the crater from three different positions.

They stood guard and watched out for any exobeast that threatened to come closer.

In the meantime, Captain Gheri's Monster Slayer along with another machine that was in reasonably good shape had begun to process the carcass.

The Giant Stone Eater was too large and heavy to drag out of the hunting ground in its entirety.

The best the hunting team could take from the corpse was the most remarkable organs and the hardest scales.

The two swordsman mechs engaged in old-fashioned butchery. They hacked and slashed through the body of the decapitated beast and dug out any organs that looked more special than others.

One of the Hymenopteras assisted this process by carefully unfolding numerous freezer containers and quickly placing the organs inside.

The other auxiliary mech had begun to conduct more thorough field repairs on the damaged and crippled mechs.

The Monster Slayer that fell first no longer had to support its weight on a thick and awkward metal brace.

It took quite a bit of time to remove the brace and install more suitable parts that restored partial control over the crippled limb.

The partially restored mech still hadn't regained its full mobility, but at least it would no longer slow everyone down as the hunting team made its way out of the hunting zone.

Ves watched with fascination as the mech pilot performed lots of simple and crude repairs in the field.

Despite the Heavensworder mech pilot's lack of expertise, this was not a hindrance as many repair jobs could be completed by relying on automatic tools and step-by-step manuals.

Sure, the quality of the restoration left anything to be desired, but it was fine so long as a mech regained functionality in the middle of a dangerous hunting zone.
