The commotion caused by the collapse of the building alerted the pedestrians. The crowd gathered in the distance, pointing at the ruins. They were all shocked and confused.
In the sky, the flying vehicles that were passing by turned around and stopped in mid-air. They looked down at the mess on the ground and watched.
Two people had destroyed a building. Although the commotion was not as big as three Grade A's destroying a few streets, the people of Noriose were very concerned about this kind of phenomenon.
"How's Black Star? Who won? " A few mercenaries who detonated the explosives had already escaped from the stronghold. They flew in the air and hurriedly looked for the two people in the rubble.
Hualala …
The mech's palm slowly pushed aside the huge debris that weighed several tons. The biochemical muscles expanded to provide strength. Han Xiao climbed out with difficulty. He held his knees and bent over, panting.
"Tsk, a few of my ribs are broken …" Han Xiao felt a dull pain in his chest. An entire building had smashed into him. Even though the Void Dragon mechanical suit's defense was strong, its durability dropped from sixty to thirty percent. The bone-white armor was filled with grayish-black scratches, and some of the gaps were still flashing with sparks. However, the equipment passive [Indestructible Strength] was triggered, and the resistance of the mechanical suit was doubled.
Some of the damage had penetrated the mech's defense. Han Xiao looked at the interface. The terrain damage was flooding the screen. He had lost more than 4000 HP, and there was also a slight fracture and a slight stun status.
The main source of damage was from the collapsed debris. Thousands of tons of heavy objects had smashed onto him. When he was falling, he was fully focused on attacking and let Philip take over the control of the mech. Thus, he did not need to be distracted. When he landed, he and Ashes were bounced to different positions. Philip used the halo array to form a shield and blocked most of the heavy objects. Otherwise, the damage would have been more than that.
Due to the collapse, most of the mech was buried under the rubble. However, he still had more than 70 compressed orbs on him, so he still had the ability to fight. Aroshia was separated from the mech. Han Xiao had used up a lot of energy and was floating beside him.
Thick smoke billowed, and his vision was limited. Han Xiao looked around for traces of Ember.
It was not that easy to kill a Calamity Grade Super, but this series of attacks was enough to give Ashes a hard time. Ashes did not have the powerful physique of a Pugilist of the same level or a body-strengthening Esper Ability. When he did not use his Esper Ability to defend himself, his resistance would not be too high.
Sha sha sha …
At this time, a familiar friction sound was heard. Han Xiao's face changed and he hurriedly jumped away. He saw three thick black spears hit the spot where he originally stood. They pierced through the ruins and easily drilled out a large hole with a diameter of more than ten meters. These black spears were made of carbon particles.
The smoke and dust dispersed in the wind. Han Xiao took a closer look and saw that the black tide was several times larger than before, covering an area of two to three hundred meters. Its shape was unpredictable, and it was still growing. In the outside world, Ashes could absorb an endless amount of carbon particles.
All of a sudden, the black tide condensed into one, and the carbon particles formed a lifelike black python. It was twenty to thirty meters thick and a hundred meters long. It coiled its body and looked at Han Xiao, spitting out its tongue. It looked like a real living creature. On top of the snake's head was a figure. It was Ashes.
Ashes was supposed to be majestic and awe-inspiring, but at this moment, he was in a very sorry state. His nano-material clothes were full of holes, and he looked quite avant-garde. Blood was flowing from his forehead, and half of his face was dark red. The skin on the back of his head, the back of his neck, and the front of his neck were completely torn apart. There were obvious scars left by the Void Ejections. Ashes' face was filled with pain as he glared angrily.
Every attack from Han Xiao was aimed at his head. Ashes had to focus on activating his Esper Ability and had no choice but to endure the tearing pain in his head. This also affected his control of his Esper Ability. He could no longer make any subtle movements and could only continue to expand the scale of the carbon particles.
"That Calamity Grade Super is heavily injured!" In the sky, a few mercenaries were in disbelief.
They had all witnessed Ember's strength, and one of them had even personally experienced it. However, not only was Black Star not at a disadvantage, he had even severely injured this Grade A Super who was considered a high-level combatant in the galaxy.
That was a little fierce!
The eyes of the surrounding crowd were immediately attracted to Ashes. In reality, it was difficult not to notice such a huge black snake.
"This isn't good." Han Xiaoxin knew that the situation had become unfavorable. For them to be able to fight like this, the arrangements they had made in advance were an important reason. Although he had heavily injured Ashes and affected his combat ability, he was still far from killing him. Now that they were in the outside world, Ashes could fully utilize his abilities. If he wanted to deal damage to Ashes again, the difficulty would be many times higher. There would not be as good an opportunity as before.
He has already turned his attention to me. I only need to delay him and wait for Nagojin to succeed … Han Xiao thought.
He would not lose his calm judgment of the situation just because he had the upper hand. He was very clear that if they continued to fight, it would be his turn to suffer.
Not wanting to continue fighting, the Void Dragon mechanical suit expanded its mechanical wings, and Han Xiao soared into the sky. He turned around and fled after taking advantage of the situation.
"Don't even think about escaping!" Ember roared, and the black python beneath him soared into the air, carrying him as it flew behind Han Xiao, chasing after him relentlessly.
Han Xiao curled his lips. Escape? Bullsh * t, this is called strategic retreat!
Black spears shot out one after another. Han Xiao twisted and turned at high speed, dodging them all. He looked back and heaved a sigh of relief. Luckily, Ashes had caught up. This guy was indeed enraged.
Avoiding a direct confrontation and letting Ashes chase after him would buy him more time. Han Xiao did not have the hobby of fighting force with force.
The two of them, one running and one chasing, shuttled between buildings. The hundred-meter-long black python was very eye-catching, and its size was still growing. Along the way, the flying vehicles hurriedly dodged. Those that could not dodge in time were all sucked in and crushed. Even the buildings that brushed past it had a large part of their structure bitten off.
The momentum was astonishing!
Compared to the black snake, Han Xiao's body was just like a flying insect.
Woo woo!
An alarm sounded in the distance, and the security team's shuttle rushed over. The destruction caused by Ashes seriously affected the stability of the city. The security team would definitely not sit idly by.
"Beep beep … You have a call request, hum …"
A notification sounded in the helmet. Han Xiao approved the call, and Nagojin's shiny golden face appeared on the tactical screen.
"Ovenn's doppelganger is already safe. Anur blew two streets away, and a Calamity Grade traveler happened to be passing by. He was sucked in and tried to help, but Anur was too fast. We could only force him back …"
A Calamity Grade Super that was passing by?
This news was unexpected. Han Xiao thought that he would have to stall for a while longer. His face twitched, and he sighed. Noriose was really full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
He could not help but think back to the first time he met Ovenn in the car. This guy's luck seemed to be even better than Herlous'. This time, he had probably gotten lucky.
"Black Star, hang in there. We'll go back and support you immediately!"
Nagojin's tone was hurried. The way he saw it, Han Xiao was holding Ashes back by himself, and the risk was too high. He was probably being pressed to the ground by the enemy.
After ending the call, Han Xiao's eyes flashed. Nagojin was done, and he did not plan to continue fighting with Ashes. He turned around, suddenly turned on the loudspeaker in his helmet, and said loudly to Ashes, "Do you really think you can kill me?
"Do you really think you can kill me? Have you forgotten about my other abilities?"
Ashes heard this, and his expression suddenly changed.
He remembered that when he was on Floating Dragon Island, Han Xiao had displayed the ability to instantly recover to his peak state.
This meant that the battle would not end in a short time!
"The security team is on their way, and the Grade A Guardian hired by the Noriose Financial Group will not allow you to do as you please. My companions have already defeated Anur and will be here soon. If you want to continue playing, I'll accompany you," Han Xiao purposely said with a smug tone.
Ashes' expression was uncertain, and he clenched his teeth tightly. He was extremely unwilling to give up, and he was in a dilemma.
Continuing to fight would be a waste of time. Not only would it be difficult to get rid of Black Star, but he would also be surrounded. However, retreating like this made him extremely sullen. He had been beaten up, and he could not get anything out of it, so he still had to retreat. This was too much!
The sound of the alarm was getting closer and closer, and Ashes realized that Han Xiao had reduced his flying speed. Ashes' expression was as cold as ice, and the scars on his back and neck were throbbing with pain. The dizziness in his head kept reminding him of how bad his body's condition was.
The confidence and pride he had when he entered the Calamity Grade was completely gone after this battle.
Black Star's name was even more deeply imprinted in his heart than before. Accompanied by pain, this impression was almost seeped into his bones.
"I was wrong. I underestimated you. Next time, no matter what your standard is, no matter if you have machinery or not, no matter if you're at full strength or heavily injured, I won't be careless against you again."
His anger disappeared, and his expression became complicated.
After taking a deep look at Han Xiao, Ember turned around decisively. The black snake collapsed and turned into a black cloud. Like a black mountain demon, it ran away with a demonic wind.
"I'm finally safe."
Han Xiao hurriedly stopped and let out a long sigh of relief. Although he looked relaxed on the surface, he was actually under a lot of pressure. If he fought with Ashes head-on in an unfavorable terrain, he would definitely be at a disadvantage. If all his machinery was destroyed, Aurora's [Life's Return] Character Summon Card would be useless. He could only use it six times at most. He had already used it once before, and it was forced out by Ashes.
He did not wait for Nagojin to come back and surround him. Instead, he warned Ashes to retreat because if Ashes wanted to escape, it would be very difficult for them to stop him. Instead, the other mercenaries and officers would be at risk of being killed instantly.
Glancing at the approaching security team, Han Technician did not want to be questioned, so he sped around the building and avoided the security team.
At the same time, Nagojin arrived at the stronghold with his men. The moment he saw the ruined building, the mercenaries' eyes widened.
On the way, the group of mercenaries had a pessimistic attitude. Black Star was stalling a Grade A Super by himself, so he would definitely be tortured. They were extremely worried.
However, as soon as they returned, they saw the ruins that were obviously caused by a fierce battle. Including Nagojin, almost everyone was stunned.
