Chapter 33
"My turn."
Smith said with a grin after the five shots and the barrage of attacks.
It is unknown how they shot the plasma beams and the throwing knives, but the way they did it is definitely top-notch.
Unfortunately, it did not work for Smith.
Still, Smith did not have a good expression. "Fuck this a**holes. I'm trying to save my Energy Units."
Although Smith said that, he knew that at this moment, he could not afford to do so.
His instincts are telling him that there is someone among the group that could endanger him if he is careless.
He did not know where that instinct came from or if it is really an instinct. Perhaps it is only a simulation, but whatever it is, Smith thinks that he had to listen to it.
Clink clink clink
A mechanical clinking sound was heard as the Armageddon transformed based on one of Smith's customizations.
The valve where the plasma beams were shot become thinner akin to that of the riffles. Then, it also becomes longer by a few inches.
Whoosh!
As Smith pointed it to them, the Armageddon shoots out a cylindrical bullet-like plasma beam.
It is nothing compared to the real one that would burst a human body into blood mist or sometimes even dematerialize it, but it could pierce through the body of the human with no problem.
That might not be as destructive compared to the original one, but if it hits the vital parts of the body, it will cause a lot of damage.
Hitting the vital parts of the human body is not a problem for Smith, that is not his concern.
Smith's goal right now is to conserve his Energy Units but at the same time deal serious damage to his targets.
Meanwhile, one fire from Armageddon took down one person from the group of five.
It was Ronar who was hit. He was hit in the forehead.
Of course, his death is not as bloody as the way a normal gun hits a person.
There is no blood, no blood mist, or meat paste on the floor. However, there is a smell of roasted meat drifting in the air.
And… if one looked into Ronar's forehead, one would see that there is a hole on it, and the surrounding of the hole looked like brownish grilled pork. Of course, that is only a centimeter wide and including the hole, it is more or less an inch.
Meanwhile, Mar and the other three instinctively defended themselves.
However, despite having the same training as the others in the military, they did not defend themselves in the same way as the military.
Furthermore, they were shocked to see each other's reactions.
A hexagonal shield appeared in front of Nate and covered him from Smith's line fire.
At the same time, an aura-like shield covered Mar, and not even a single atom from the air could enter.
Of course, there is also a way for Mar to breathe in oxygen in order for her not to suffocate.
Then, as for Grizzly, a black metallic wing appeared on his black. His image is the same as falcon from the avengers. Only, his wings are a lot sturdier and more advanced than the latter.
Finally, for Grey, he wore a bear-like black suit.
As Smith saw these, he could not help but tilt his head sideways to the right.
"Surprising!" he said, stunned for a split second.
Meanwhile, the four, did not have much reaction after being stunned for a while.
They did the same thing with each other.
They positioned themselves to defend themselves in case Smith does something to them.
However, none of that is Smith's concern.
"Are you not from the military?"
Indeed, supposedly, there should be only one uniform in the military. And… that is within Ronar.
However, he is unable to use it since he was caught off guard by Smith's bullet. Furthermore, the remaining four did not think it would suffice against Smith.
It is not that the equipment provided by the World Federation is useless. Rather, it's just that Smith is a lot more powerful for the equipment provided by the federation.
Meanwhile, when Smith asked his question, the others could not help but wonder about what organization the others belong to.
Unfortunately for Smith, no one answered him. Rather, Nate, Mar, Grizzly, and Grey remained focused on Smith.
Then, as if they have a tacit understanding, they all move backward while aiming their weapons toward Smith.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Numbers of plasma beams flew toward Smith.
Mar, Nate, and Grey, who is supposed to be close combatants become expert gunner, all of a sudden, which is rather unbelievable.
However, of course, Smith did not know any of this.
Meanwhile, Smith did not defuse the plasma beams. Rather, he cussed.
"Fuck!"
However, it is not because he could not survive the barrage of plasma beams, but because he knows that he cannot continue in power-saving mode.
Indeed, all this time, he is using his power-saving mode.
Clink! Clink! Clink!
The Armageddon clinked as it returned to its original form.
At the same time, a short pilar of flame appeared on Smith's back and was propelled into the air.
"Fuckers, I am conserving my Energy Units!"
Smith wanted to grit his teeth. However, he couldn't since Smith is wearing a robotic body given by Apollo Tech.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
After Smith spoke, he did not hesitate to fire a barrage of plasma beams toward the four.
"Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit!"
Grizzly is the first one to escape with the mechanical wings on his back.
He flew into the air and left the ground to the others to fend off Smith.
"I did not sign to die here."
That is what's on Grizzly's mind.
As he flew upward into the sky, he did not take his eyes off Smith and the others.
"Are they the ones that I know?" Grey could not help but ask himself.
Unfortunately, there is no one to answer him.
Meanwhile, without him, the fight on the ground went on.
Smith has the advantage as he fought mid-air.
It is very easy for him to dodge their plasma bullets while also aiming his Armageddon toward them.
However, what surprised Smith is that it seemed that it is not hard for them to block his plasma beams.
One must know that Smith's plasma beams are of the same grade as the plasma beams of the Phantom Cannons of the D-Link planes.
They are graded B.
And since they could block the plasma beams from the Armageddon, Nate, Grey, and Mar should also have equipment of the same grade as the energy beam from Smith's Armageddon or perhaps higher.
This stunned Grizzly for a while, however, it did not take long for him to think of taking advantage of this situation.
Whoosh!
He fired his Sniper-B927. But to his surprise, it did not seem to affect Smith. Instead, Smith effortlessly dodged them as if he could predict the future.
Meanwhile, as Smith dodges Grizzly's classic bullet, he smoothly dashed toward the Grey who is closest to him and deliver a punch to him.
"Ten units punch!"
Smith yelled as he did so.
Bam!
Grey was forced backward for three steps.
"Eh? He could take that?" Smith could not help but ask.
However, he did not have much time to wonder because Mar and Grizzly is already heading toward him to deliver a punch.
Of course, since he gave a punch to Grey a while ago, he is on the ground.
Whoosh!
Smith flew while skillfully shooting plasma beams toward the three then using the recoil from the Armageddon to increase his speed.
But something came at this moment that Smith did not expect. Or rather, he had predicted it, but he did not have enough time to evade it.
Whoosh! Bam!
Smith was hit from the above.
Indeed, it was Grizzly who hit him.
At first, Smith managed to dodge Grizzly's bullet. But now, he didn't since he was occupied by the three others.
However, as this happened, the four were momentarily stunned.
"Nothing? Not even a scratch?"
Grizzly asked from the above as he say Smith was fine and well.
At the same time, the three on the ground also wondered why.
However, they did not have the luxury of time like Grizzly.
The moment that they are momentarily stunned, Smith did not let that opportunity go to attack them.
However, he did not fire a plasma beam or something.
Instead, he threw the Armageddon towards them which made a small clinking sound that transformed it into a small rocket.
Fortunately, its speed is not unlike the plasma beams. In fact, it is a lot slower.
However, unfortunately in the next second, the rocket is but a mere diversion as Smith dashed toward them with his fist.
Bam!
Grey was hit again. Or rather, the hit was not supposed to be on Mar. However, he decided to be a gentleman and take the hit. Well… rather because he thought he is the one with the greatest defense.
Unfortunately for him, Smith's attack this time is unlike the last time.
"That's fifty unit punch."
Smith grinned.
Now, now, that is five times more than the last.
Of course, fifty units are not the real amount of force. Rather, the energy output is about three times more than the input.
So, it means that the total output force is about one hundred fifty units.
