The Mech Touch novel Chapter 5496

Chapter 5496 An Unfair Comparison

The fight between Ves and the Azure Tornado Dragon turned a lot more physical!

After the beast failed to bite Ves with its jaws, the larger creature continually utilized its enormous body to wear down his defenses!

Though Ves' Kelsis organ had to work overtime to prevent the dragon from sinking its teeth into his flesh, he did not just float in the water and allow himself to get hit for free.

The disruptive body slams and frightening bite attacks prevented him from playing his flute. His song ended and his control over the surrounding water element had been taken away by the furious beast.

The Azure Tornado Dragon might not understand the concept of music, but it clearly associated Ves' flute playing with his strong water manipulation abilities.

This was why the creature aggressively attacked Ves up close!

Ves personally discovered the weakness of relying on music to channel his powers.

There was no way he could leverage the power of the Oceancaller when he was being attacked like this! Perhaps a more competent music cultivator could continue to play a song under these difficult circumstances, but Ves did not excel in this aspect!

"FINE THEN! I WILL GET PHYSICAL AS WELL IF THAT IS WHAT YOU WANT!"

Ves changed the grip of his flute and held it like a baton.

He had already tested the durability of the Oceancaller many times and learned that it would take far more power to ever threaten its integrity.

When the Azure Tornado Dragon made another pass at Ves, he swung back his arm and slammed his flute against the Azure Tornado Dragon's snout!

The surrounding water shook from the painful roar released by the beast!

Ves got slammed back from the collision as his ability to move in the water was not good enough to evade the collision in time.

His spatial barrier flickered in a worrisome manner, but he knew he had to go on the offensive if he wanted to postpone its collapse.

Man and beast began to wrestle and circle around each other underwater!

Initially, the beast held the advantage. Its body was larger and its control over water was stronger.

As a true darling of water, the Azure Tornado Dragon's abilities did not weaken even when it was fully engaged in launching physical attacks.

The powerful beast did not believe that this strange organic humanoid possessed the ability to overpower his body!

However, Ves had his own strong points. He was admittedly unskilled in combat and completely made a fool of himself in his attempts to defend against the Azure Tornado Dragon.

His true body was smaller.

His ability to maneuver underwater was awful.

He was not a real qi cultivator, so his ability to control the surrounding water was too poor.

Swinging around his flute like a club only bruised the massive beast at most.

All of these disadvantages and more caused Ves to lose the initiative. He could only react and launch the occasional counterattack when the dragon swam close enough!

Though he occasionally managed to break or dislodge a few scales with the swing of his flute, the Azure Tornado Dragon did not lose any of its powerful momentum.

The creature firmly gained the upper hand!

This became evident when the Azure Tornado Dragon slammed against Ves like a crashing starship!

The collision was so powerful that Ves' Kelsis organ couldn't take it any more. The spatial barrier shattered apart, exposing his suited body to the elements!

The Azure Tornado Dragon clearly understood the significance of this change. Its beastly eyes conveyed an intense eagerness to pounce on Ves and tear his limbs to shreds!

"YOU THINK YOU CAN TAKE ME?! THEN COME GET IT! I AM NOT AFRAID OF YOU, LIZARD!"

Though Ves believed he had solved the problem of developing an overinflated sense of confidence, he couldn't help but express his contempt at the powerful beast.

He still believed he could defeat the Azure Tornado Dragon!

As if the monster understood the message, the dragon furiously charged straight at Ves! It even sped up its approach by forming a water turbine that propelled it even faster!

Ves narrowed his eyes through the murky water.

When the Azure Tornado Dragon was just about to pounce, Ves commanded his flute to grow in size, making it as long and thick as a spear!

He quickly adjusted his grip until he directly pointed the Oceancaller's tip at the rapidly approaching the Azure Tornado Dragon!

The Azure Tornado Dragon's momentum was too great. It was impossible for the creature to halt or redirect his body in so little time.

The water above the surface splashed as a powerful collision took place underneath!

Two different kinds of blood mixed into the river water as both Ves and his beast opponent had managed to strike serious blows against each other!

Ves shook his head as he noticed the closing holes of his nanosuit.

The beast had not only bit through his suit, but also managed to break his skin!

Fortunately, the monster's teeth had been unable to penetrate too deeply, which was exactly what he expected.

Ves' body was akin to a hardy biomech. His flesh was not as easy to damage as it looked. The phasewater in his body had already reinforced his physique to a point where even mechs would find it challenging to wear down his defenses.

Still, repeated attacks of this nature could most certainly put his life under threat!

His ability to regenerate his body was not as good. An important factor that hindered his recovery was that he had lost a bit of blood, which happened to contain a bit of the phasewater that made him strong!

Ves focused on his adversary.

He had managed to deal a serious blow against the dragon. The mutated beast's maw leaked a copious amount of alien blood as the flute had managed to pierce a hole.

Though the wounds were far from fatal, the Azure Tornado Dragon became maddened by pain!

The creature quickly directed its growing aggression towards Ves yet again. The beast only needed to move a short distance before it was able to launch another attack!

The beast did not make any big moves this time. It simply utilized its long and heavy body to slam and bite against its enemy.

Ves struggled to fend off the attacks. Turning his artifact flute into a makeshift spear did not help enough. It did not possess a sharp edge, so he wasn't able to cut or stab into the creature as effectively as he wished.

He could only utilize it as a staff and inflict repeated blunt impacts against the Azure Tornado Dragon.

These staff swings only hurt the creature, but did not even make it bleed any further.

It did not help that Ves not only fought in an unfavorable environment, but also had no systematic combat training in fighting with melee weapons!

Let alone a sword, Ves did not know how to effectively utilize a staff as a weapon!

What he was doing was completely ineffective against this kind of beast.

Though he attempted to augmented his attacks by leveraging water energy, the Azure Tornado Dragon's control over it was so much better that Ves was like a child trying to show off in front of an adult.

"SO THIS IS IT, HUH?"

Playtime was over.
