“Now! FEEL MY WRATH!!!” Gnawbones said as he used his magic to mimic the controls of the Gunndam Aegis. It managed to turn into the mobile armour and humanoid form seamlessly after a few attempts and the Air Force General had begun to send his new toy to destroy Pandarens just as Deng Long had done it when he was controlling it.
Thankfully, Jia Le was able to intercept it because she was preparing it ever since the moment Deng Long told her that he might have lost control of it. To be honest, she had never expected a contraption of Jin’s could be so easily controlled by the enemy but there was no use crying over spilt milk so she had already started to prepare her kunais with the much needed chi to block the attacks.
Walls of Bellflowers emerged from the ground stopping Gunndam Aegis’ energy beams however, they were instantly destroyed, rendering them to be a one time barrier against the attacks. She had roughly expected that as she had already seen the machine in action against the Demon Rat Elites so the Breathtaking Bellflower Cultivator knew she only had a few tries blocking it especially when it took quite a lot from her to create those walls. (She might be able to create more but the long stretched battle had caused her to already be fatigued.)
On the other hand, Shi Zuo leapt to action when the robot flew towards his ‘battle zone’. He managed to break a few armour plates but it was nothing the Gunndam Aegis could not handle. And after getting hit, the Mobile Armour had sent its beams flying towards the centre of the pillar hoping to destroy their chance of a proper fight.
Suffice it to say, Sheep Captain Mian Ling had to stop her typing process because it was way too close for comfort when the beam skidded a few centimetres away from her. She took a deep breath in to recover from the shock as well as the intense heat that was emanated from the beam blast. “Oh my god… Now I understand why the Sheep Head wanted me to gain experience…” Mian Ling said to herself as she continued typing while not realising that the beam could have already killed her if not for Shi Zuo disrupting the mobile armour.
Some of the Pandarens wanted to attempt to find the controller who was operating Gunndam Aegis but with the pressure made by the former, the Demon Rat Elites had long recovered their formation and continued to strike fear into the Pandarens with every step forward, surrounding them ever tighter.
On the other hand, Deng Long managed to recover from the major injury and was able to at least stand with the help of his weapon. “Assholes. Not only did you injure me but you Demon Rats dared to steal my robot away??!” Deng Long shouted as he expelled a large amount of chi aura to vent his anger. The Demon Rat Elites were not taken aback by it but it did have some effect on the other Demon Rats who were hiding behind the Elites.
Even though it was momentary, the split second respite felt by the Pandarens was a welcoming breather for them to collect their thoughts. Gnawbones was giggling at the back of the lines seeing how the original user of the robot was raging mad. “If you want me to return it to you, come and get it yourself,” Gnawbones said but he did not realise that the magic he used to control Gunndam Aegis had caused it to repeat the very same words as if it was some microphone.
“Very well then. I shall do that!” Deng Long said as he gathered his chi within his legs so that he could jump as high as he could to hit Gunndam Aegis. Gnawbones laughed when he saw the human do such a foolish action. Initially, he thought that the owner of the Gunndam Aegis could possibly call out a new robot out and had a fight with the one he was controlling.
But he had disappointed Gnawbones so much that the Air Force General decided to both infuriate and shame him by pulling Gunndam Aegis away from the ground even further, rendering Deng Long’s jump useless. However, Gnawbones had no idea that the other humans were assisting him in his mad endeavour. Jia Le threw a kunai close to him and a stalk of bellflower grew right beneath his feet, allowing him to not only rebound but assisted him to go closer to the Gunndam.
No doubt, Aegis had retaliated by shooting at the Bellflower but Deng Long stood his ground (on the bellflower) and blocked each and every shot away. He did not care about the repercussions caused by him deflecting the attacks since some of those bullets strayed and hit both allies and enemies. All he cared about was either getting back Gunndam Aegis or destroying it to prevent Gnawbones from using it.
“Enough of this charade!” Gnawbones got irritated that the human got even more gutsy and cocky that he decided to change into the mobile armour form.
“Now!” Deng Long thought to himself as he materialised not one but two heavy duty anti tank sniper rifles and shot it towards his Gunndam Aegis. There was not much time to aim but given that he had enough experience from both his police training and dungeon fighting, he decided to gamble.
The moment the anti tank snipers landed on his arms, he pressed the triggers and the shots fired even as the Bellflower continued to grow. It was an impromptu plan Jia Le and him created and they did not have much confidence it would work but Deng Long was banging on the fact that he had a 100% level of understanding of how Gunndam Aegis worked. The super robo nerd understood the strengths and weaknesses of his robots to the point it was imprinted in his brain.
He knew for a fact that it was the weakest when it was transforming into the mobile armour and he was betting that the anti tank rifle could hit the discharge area of the beam or maybe if he was lucky enough, the engine or the processing chip.
But if the Wombat Cultivator was not, perhaps he could say goodbye to his life.
