Chapter 3 - chapter 2 : continue

Legnar stared at the mechanical beast in front of him. The behemoth was fifteen meters tall, covered with dark gray alloy armor, and its surface was covered with countless rune-like cracks, each of which was faintly glowing with energy. Its limbs were thick and powerful, and every step it took left deep dents on the metal ground. The head of the mechanical beast was equipped with multiple layers of optical sensors, and the red main light source in the center was like a malicious eye, staring at Legnar closely. With a click, its weapon system was unlocked one by one, and six weapon arms extended from its shoulders and back, each equipped with a high-energy laser cannon and a long-range missile launcher, while the rotating machine guns on its limbs began to accelerate, making a tooth-grinding metal friction sound.

Legnar stopped about twenty meters away from the mechanical beast and slightly adjusted his fighting posture. He took a half step back with his left foot, bent his knees slightly, lowered his center of gravity, and slowly raised his right hand to hold the energy sword inserted in the arm armor. The blade released a slight high-frequency vibration when it was activated, glowing with a blue-purple light, so sharp that it seemed to be able to cut through space. He did not launch an attack immediately, but slightly turned his head to observe the movements of the mechanical beast. The behemoth was not in a hurry to charge. It was obvious that the enemy had already understood his ability and tried to gradually wear him down through fire suppression and endurance consumption.

The mechanical beast took the lead in launching an attack, and the laser cannon on its shoulder fired three interlaced beams, directly covering the position of Legnar. At the same time, missiles rose from the launcher on its back, pulling out bright tail flames and rushing at him from different angles. Legnar's eyes condensed, and he jumped up in an instant. His speed was so fast that he even left a blurred afterimage in the air. The laser beam rubbed the edge of his armor, and the hot energy left a scorching smell in the air, while the missile accurately tracked his trajectory, but he made a sharp turn in the air, and his figure fell suddenly like a ghost. The missile lost its target and exploded on the wall behind, setting off a frenzy of flames and debris in a deafening roar.

Legnar didn't give the robot any chance to adjust. The moment he landed, he suddenly exerted force and rushed towards it like a cannonball. The energy sword in his right hand drew a dazzling arc of light, pointing directly at the joint of the robot's forelimb. However, the robot's reaction was just as quick. Its left front claw swept across suddenly, and the force enough to crush a tank rushed towards it. Legnar was not afraid. He quickly leaned over and slid through the blind spot of the claw attack, and at the same time stabbed the joint bearing of the forelimb with his sword. The high-frequency vibration of the energy sword directly pierced the alloy armor and penetrated into the power module inside. Sparks and oil gushed out. The robot let out a sharp mechanical cry, and its left forelimb lost balance for a while and fell heavily to the ground.

But it did not stop moving. The other forelimb slammed towards Legnar with a sound of breaking wind. His reaction was still sharp. He rolled sideways and barely avoided it. Then he jumped onto the robot's shoulder, holding the energy sword with both hands, and split it down hard to create a deep crack. His movements were swift and accurate, the blade ripped through the armor and pointed directly at the inner core, but at this moment, the shoulder weapon arm of the mechanical beast suddenly folded in the opposite direction, and the muzzle was aimed at his side.

Red energy gathered at the muzzle, and in just a moment, a blazing beam of light was shot out. Legnar sensed the coming of danger, and he quickly held the sword across his body, while turning on the particle shield, and the laser hit the intersection of the blade and the shield, bursting out with dazzling light. He was blown away by the huge impact and fell heavily to the ground, but his armor absorbed most of the impact. He quickly turned over and rushed towards the mechanical beast again without hesitation.

This time, he changed his strategy, and quickly took out a high-energy magnetic explosive bomb with his left hand and attached it to the right hind leg of the mechanical beast. He stepped back a few steps and pressed the detonation switch. With a dull explosion, the right hind leg of the mechanical beast was completely blown off, and the broken metal parts were scattered everywhere. The unbalanced mechanical beast shook violently, trying to regain its balance with its remaining limbs, but Legnar had already seized the opportunity to jump onto its back. He inserted the energy sword into the weakest area of ​​the back armor and cut a passage to the core with force. The internal wiring and power device were exposed. He accurately found the location of the energy core and cut off the key connection module with the tip of the sword.

The mechanical beast let out a last desperate roar, and its huge body gradually lost its movement, and finally fell to the ground with a bang, stirring up a burst of dust and metal fragments. Legnar jumped off its back and stood in the center of the ruins. His armor automatically cleared the oil and dust that were stained. He slightly adjusted his breathing frequency. Although he consumed a lot of physical strength, the enemy data displayed on the tactical screen was constantly updating, and new targets were gathering towards his position. He looked up and looked forward. A team of enemy soldiers carrying heavier firepower equipment was approaching rapidly, and farther away, other mechanical beasts were waking up one after another.

After the mechanical beast fell down, the battlefield fell into a brief silence, with only the sound of heat dissipation from the armor plate and the pungent smell of burning filling the air. Legnar stood up, breathing a little heavily, but the rhythm was still steady. The surface of his armor was emitting a faint residual heat, the brilliance on the blade gradually dimmed, and the solidified mechanical liquid dripped from the edge of the blade. His eyes swept across the ruins around him, vigilantly capturing every slight movement. He knew that the enemy would not give him too much time to breathe, and he did not intend to waste a moment.

The red dots on the tactical screen were gathering rapidly. He estimated that at least three thousand enemy soldiers were approaching. They were well-equipped and had heavier firepower, but their coordination was poor and their arms were mixed. It was obviously a temporary defense line. However, this time the enemy was not alone. Behind them, another mechanical beast was slowly starting up. This mechanical beast was larger than the previous one, with a body size of nearly twenty meters. The six-legged structure made it more stable than the four-legged structure. The back weapon platform was equipped with heavy rail guns and antimatter ejectors. Its activation sound was as deafening as steel tearing, and the air was filled with the pungent metallic smell unique to high-energy devices activated.

Legnar did not retreat. He used commands to activate the micro-nano repair module on the armor. Although the output of the energy core has decreased and the repair speed is not ideal, it is enough to make his joints operate more smoothly. He lowered his head and quickly checked the damage to the armor - a few dents, some wear and tear on the joints, and deep laser burns on the left shoulder armor. Overall, there was no problem, but he knew that he could not withstand the heavy firepower for a long time.

He took out a plasma shock bomb shining with blue light from his waist, gently pressed the detonation delay button, and then threw it accurately to the front line of enemy soldiers. The shock bomb slid out an elegant parabola in the air and fell into the center of the enemy team. After a muffled sound, the dazzling blue light spread out, and the enemy soldiers within the range were instantly penetrated by the strong arc, the armor short-circuited, and the flesh and blood were charred. The aftermath of the concussion bomb even overturned several nearby walking mechas, and the chaos immediately caused the enemy's formation to be in chaos.

Legnar seized this opportunity to start the thrusters, and his body turned into a stream of light and rushed towards the enemy. The moment he landed, the energy sword swept across, and a bright arc of light instantly cut through the armor of five soldiers. The blood vaporized with high temperature, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of rust. He did not stop, and his figure flashed among the enemy like a ghost, and each sword accurately cut off the life of an enemy. His movements were simple and efficient, without any extra fancy, focusing on the lethality of each swing.

The enemy quickly adjusted their formation and tried to suppress him with a firepower network. Dozens of machine guns and laser guns aimed at his position at the same time, and the dense barrage of bullets came like a rainstorm. He rolled over and barely avoided the coverage of the bullets, but several of the high-speed kinetic bullets hit his armor. The chest armor made several harsh metal collisions. Although it did not completely penetrate, the impact made him step back two steps. He gritted his teeth and did not waste time adjusting. He directly activated the particle shield to block the next wave of attacks. At the same time, he threw a small EMP jammer with his other hand, temporarily paralyzing the enemy's aiming system.

In this brief interval, he quickly leaned over and sprinted, slashing the weapon systems of two soldiers with his sword, and then kicked an enemy who attempted a sneak attack several meters away with a side kick. Blood splattered on his armor, but he didn't care at all, and his attention was completely focused on the battle.

The six-legged mechanical beast finally completed the startup, and the ground around it began to tremble slightly. Its railgun slowly turned and locked onto Legnar's position. He quickly judged the situation and weighed the strategy in his mind. The firepower of this mechanical beast was enough to crush him head-on, but it started slowly and needed time to aim. He decided to use this time to weaken the enemy's outer forces first to avoid being surrounded. He rushed towards the enemy's dense formation again, using their confusion as cover.

The robot finally opened fire, and a blazing railgun beam cut through the air, hitting the area he had just dodged. The violent explosion blew a huge deep pit on the ground, and the surrounding soldiers were knocked over by the shock wave. Legnar took the opportunity to jump to the top of the building near the robot, using the height advantage to observe its weaknesses. He noticed that the robot's energy core was located in the abdomen. Although it was protected by heavy armor, it was its most deadly part.

He adjusted the direction of the thrusters, took a deep breath, and then suddenly jumped down, rushing straight at the robot from a high altitude. His figure rotated in the air, dodging the defensive laser cannon fired by the robot, and finally landed accurately on its back. He pierced the back armor with a sword, cutting off part of the energy line, but the robot continued to operate and tried to throw him off. He firmly grasped the crack in the armor, and chopped hard with his other hand, and finally opened a passage to the core.

The robot began to struggle frantically, and its weapon system bombarded the surroundings indiscriminately. Not only did the enemy soldiers fall down in groups, but even the ground was bombarded into scorched earth. However, Legnar did not hesitate at all. He stuffed the last high-explosive energy bomb into the gap of the core, started the countdown, and quickly jumped away. The explosion exploded behind him, and the huge body of the mechanical beast was torn apart. The fragments were scattered around like a meteor shower, and finally collapsed to the ground.

He knelt on one knee when he landed, and his breathing rate in his chest increased significantly. There were more dents on the surface of the armor, and even a few small cracks. He stood up, slowly adjusted his breathing, and his eyes swept into the distance again. There were reinforcements from the enemy, but their morale was obviously low. The fall of the mechanical beast was a heavy blow to them. Legnar was silent, holding the hilt tightly, and walked towards the enemy with steady steps.
