As the Pandarens were doing their best to fend off the Bone Spirit Sea Demons in the Suburban area, the sound of the boosters from the Supa Robot had the effect of an indirect morale boost from the desperation of their endless fight.
It was perfect as a sign that there was some actual hope to cling on.
And that hope became even more reassuring when Mechataur's imposing form hovered above the Suburban area holding on to two huge metal boxes on its back. "Before we deal with the boss, let's give the Pandarens some time to regroup. Otherwise, they might get caught in the middle of our firefight." Bu Dong exclaimed as he used his helmet to the utmost capabilities it could exert.
The control interface on Deng Long's side suddenly emerged with alert pings on multiple Bone Spirit Sea Demon targets when Bu Dong scanned the Suburban area for enemies. While it would be ideal to catch every single Bone Spirit Sea Demon in its sight, the number of missiles on their giant toy was unfortunately limited despite their temporary ability to summon any weapon set that they owned.
"64 targets locked on and ready to be obliterated." Deng Long informed Bu Dong that they had reached the maximum number of monsters they could hit.
"Entering some chi for maximum effect!" Bu Dong confirmed as he portrayed his cultivation aura and the Mechataur in turn glowed slightly with an orange hue before it grabbed onto the two metal boxes on its shoulders and aimed it downwards.
A few of the Pandarens noticed this and quickly called to their companions to retreat, hoping that the monsters they had engaged could be killed off by the Supa Robot's fury. The Mechataur let out a stream of steam through its nostrils and its entire body vibrated a little from the knockback as the missiles from the two metal boxes flew out in a rush to annihilate its targets.
The missile barrage was a sight to behold for everyone outside the zone of fire, especially Luo Bo who had been unaware that the Mechataur was even able to perform such a feat, despite having been in control of it. "Why are they able to do that? We were the ones who first found it, but I'm sure it wasn't capable of that yet!" Luo Bo complained as she pulled Shi Zuo's sleeve, trying to grab his attention.
"Who knows? It just proves that it was the right choice to leave it to the experts! They are able to make it fly and shoot missiles whereas I could barely keep it operational! That is the difference between us and them."
"If I were to take a guess, it must be that Supa Robot War mini game they've been playing that allowed them to pilot it. Make it give them some extra bonuses." Shi Zuo replied, unaware that he had forgotten to mute the Pandawan Channel, allowing the rest of the Pandawans to hear what he was saying as well.
"Yep, the controls are exactly the same in Supa Robot Wars! That is why we can pilot this rather easily." Deng Long confirmed as he engaged Mechataur's thrusters once more while throwing the leftover metal boxes against an injured Bone Spirit Demon to finish it off.
"That display of force makes me seriously want to try out the Supa Robot minigame." Xiong Da commented, impressed by the fight. It might be every boy's dream to pilot a giant mecha, and at least the lawyer was no exception to this.
"Go forth, although I have to warn you, the start is kinda sucky with that useless basic robot that you'll be given. But trust me, it gets better and will definitely be worth your time." Bu Dong didn't miss the chance to promote this awesome mini game that most of the Pandawans had been ignoring.
However, Bu Dong believed in Boss Jin and that the Dungeon Supplier always looked into the future, so the things that he had provided in his Dungeons and Panda should never be deemed useless.
"Lol, does that mean our digital pets might be useful in future dungeon instances too?" Bin Yong questioned and Bu Dong commented that it might be a possible feature in the future. After all, hadn't they already experienced riding on their cultivation styles as mounts?
"Looks like we have more things to look forward to. For now, Bu Dong. You have a guest coming into the city that requires some of your… welcomings." Xiong Da interrupted and both the Supa Robot Pilots focused back on their current predicament, only to realise a tentacle was flying straight towards them.
"This is nothing!" Deng Long exclaimed as he pressed his finger on the control console and quickly swiped it upwards. As the tentacle approached the Mechataur, an energy shield immediately enveloped the Supa Robot, providing the required defence since it caught the pilots slightly off guard for them to dodge in time.
But as much as Deng Long wanted to brag it was nothing, the tentacle was surprisingly tenacious, enough so to pierce through the energy shield damaging the upper c.h.e.s.t portion of the Mechataur. Thankfully, the energy shield lessened the impact pierce of the tentacle's strike, causing only a hole through its armour without damaging any vital components that could affect the mobility of the Supa Robot.
Still, that was enough to get Bu Dong angry.
"Bloody Ooofpa Loopa! I will make sure that you are going down hard!" Bu Dong shouted as he controlled the robot to pull out the tentacle while crushing it so that it would not be returning back to the main body. Afterwards, Bu Dong resummoned Weapon Set Delta which was comprised of the two boxes of missiles that they had been handling previously.
This time, it was aimed at the Ooofpa Loopa which had finally approached the shores with a bunch of Bone Spirit Sea Demons at its side.
"Are you sure we should be using those missiles against the Ooofpa Loopa? It should already be immune to the fire element." Deng Long asked for a confirmation and it acted as a reminder to Bu Dong that the Ooofpa Loopa had its own boss mechanics that they had to handle.
"Yeap. I am sure." Bu Dong replied and started to aim his sights at the Boss abomination. However, from Deng Long's perspective, it seems as if Bu Dong was not attacking the boss but the air spaces around it.
"What are you aiming at, bro?" Deng Long questioned but since Bu Dong was in charge of the fire control, he already released the missiles before replying to his co-pilot.
