Tempest of the Stellar War Chapter 412

Chapter 411 - Team Leader’s Heavenly Battle!

Translator: Abyssruler  Editor: Lucas

 The Solar System against the Darkness Empire. It was finally time for the match. Countless people had been waiting for this match. The performances of Wang Zheng, Lear, and Achilles had indeed caught everyone’s attention, especially with the circulation of IG nowadays. Apparently, the resurrection round, which Wang Zheng experienced, was not a C or D-rank. It was the legendary S-rank resurrection round.

And his performance with the Golden Wheel was an even more superb work of art. It had defeated Vincent, who was the pride of Manalasuo. This young talent was awesome. What exactly was Wang Zheng’s level? Had the Solar System really fostered a true talent? Or was it just a flash in the pan? This round would be a very good test for it.

Strength was a thing that was pretty hard to say. It did not mean that you would be capable as long as you had a strong foundation. To be truly formidable, you had to face all sorts of challenges, some might even be very weird. The Darkness Empire would indeed prove to be one of them.

For those who were led by Sloughberg Bonthe and belonged to the Darkness Empire, they too were also thriving with ambitions. They had already defeated their old enemy in one go and were unstoppable. It should be even clearer that the Solar System Federation’s team was not their well-matched opponent.

No one knew where so many people had come from, but the large viewing hall suddenly seemed a little squeezy. There was a sudden increase in the number of older generals, and they evidently had not come for the Darkness Empire, but for the Solar System Federation.

Nobody would be able to ignore the place of origin for mankind. Even if after all these years the Solar System Federation’s team had became weaker, the Solar System Federation was still one of the ten permanent member states. And if the Solar System Federation rose up, their influence would be even greater than that of any other country. This was the cultural core of mankind. If one was of mankind, one would never ever be able to forget their own root.

Sloughberg Bonthe was also observing his opponent. He had also received the news, even though it was not very exact, but the idea mentioned was very clear. To defeat Wang Zheng in this round, there was no need to fight face on with him, he only needed to obtain the final victory.

Did that mean to completely ignore his presence?

Sloughberg was dissatisfied. Given his strength, this was the first time his superiors had disregarded him like this. However, it was too bad that the military had no direct jurisdiction against him, as he was the successor of the Bonthe family.

Atlantis, Aslan, Arbiter, and Maya, all these powerful teams and their team members were present. It was obvious that their attention was completely different, they were all chatting zestfully, not knowing how the Solar System team would be dealing with the Darkness Empire.

Both parties drew lots for the battle. For the first round, the Darkness Empire would be up first.

First battle!

The player Darkness Empire sent was Bonthe’s cousin, Shaofeng Bonthe. He was the genius scout of the empire, and Sloughberg’s right-hand man.

For the pioneer battle, it was of no doubt that the Solar System Federation would either send Lear or Achilles. This was the safest choice as even though Wang Zheng liked to give surprises, it was not possible to play with fire at this time.

This previous time, Achilles had gone up for the first battle, so this round was handed over to Lear.

Lear appeared.

Lear’s choice was the Unbounded Sky Chains, as usual.

Shaofeng Bonthe’s choice was the ace mech of the Darkness Empire – from the Shadow Charm series – Shadow Charm Reaper. It was a light assassin-type mech and a typical reaper type, and it was no doubt an excellent choice to be used for special surprise attacks.

Both sides were descendants of aristocratic families. Presently, the superiority of Bonthe was possibly slightly higher. And in his eyes, Lear was nothing more than a loser, but this loser actually was especially fond of acting like a pretentious prick. He really thought that the Earth was still like the Earth in the past.

Shaofeng looked over to Sloughberg, and Sloughberg nodded his head lightly. Shaofeng understood, and a smile emerged at the corner of his mouth, it was to abuse his opponent to death.

Looking at the functionality of the mecha, both sides had their own unique characteristics. The people of the Darkness Empire especially had special affinity with assassin mecha. This was particularly true for the children of the Bonthe family. The result would probably depend on the Ability X of the two as up till now the Ability X of both sides were still unknown. But for this round, they would likely have to use it.

The battles between assassin-type mecha with high agility were the most dangerous. The party with better skills would absolutely control the situation.

However, in Lear’s eyes, everyone who was not from Earth were like floating clouds or slaves.

The weapon of the Shadow Charm Reaper was a unique type of two-sided reaping sickle. With attack and defense integrated as one, this was the favorite mech of the Darkness Empire, and it could very well restrain all those knives and swords.

Once the gunshot was sounded, Shaofeng immediately attacked. The speed of the Shadow Charm Reaper was really fast. Such swift speed was also the unique characteristic of this type of mech. It could not be so easily judged as compared to ordinary mecha, and the swift speed also meant that it could also maneuver quickly.

The titanium sword of Lear was still hanging down casually. The Shadow Charm Reaper had already arrived, and the titanium sword was suddenly thrown outwards.

The two mecha entered a high-speed battle. In an instant, sparks were flying everywhere. The Bonthe family of the Darkness Empire was also known as a family of assassins. With regards to the research and development of assassin-type mecha, they had invested their hard-earned capital and effort to develop both the mech and the pilot’s performance and skills. However, against Lear, no advantage seemed to be obtained.

The Unbounded Sky Chains with a sword in each hand looked absolutely domineering and tyrannical. Yet every attack was very steady. Attack and defense were integrated as one. During attacks, it struck as fast as lightning, and during defense, it was as steady as a rock. But Lear’s way of thinking was something rare; he was meticulous and neglected no detail. He did not intend to kill in one hit.

On the contrary, one would want to kill in one hit, because more often than not, you would be giving your opponent the opportunity to kill you in one hit.

“Everyone, please pay more attention. Lear is giving us a chance to examine the sequence of movements of the Darkness Empire,” Achilles said. He was the one who understood Lear the most. After all, having competed for so many years, with Lear’s character, he was not someone who would be willing to do useless work. However, after the Solar System Federation had won against Manalasuo, their advantage had disappeared. The opponents definitely had already done thorough research on them, and once they were being targeted, they would realize that it would no longer be that easy for them in battles.

It was important to adequately understand the movements of the opponent. And for the Darkness Empire, there was no doubt that their training was standardised, hence their movements would almost be identical.

Bang, bang, bang…

Facing the onslaught attacks by the Shadow Charm Reaper, the Unbounded Sky Chains was unexpectedly steady and calm. It made people unsure of whether this was a warrior-type mech or an assassin-type mech, as it was sometimes fast and sometimes slow.

Very soon, Shaofeng Bonthe was able to sense the intention of his opponent. He was trying to gain insight on his moves?

Boom…

The Shadow Charm Reaper suddenly let out an ear-piercing sound. It immediately released a large number of frantic attacks. It looked like ghosts were surrounding the Unbounded Sky Chains! It was the Shadow Charm Reaper’s specialty! The Shadow Charm Tornado Attack!

Making use of the energy of the swift movement of the Shadow Charm Reaper, together with the extremely fast Ability X, the ring-shaped area of effect attack allowed the two-sided reaping sickle to unleash its power. In an instant, sparks were flying everywhere, and the Unbounded Sky Chains was completely suppressed.

However, the Unbounded Sky Chains stubbornly defended meticulously against each attack without any neglect to detail. One sword after another was used to parry without the slightest bit of disorder. There was a type of momentum that was as sturdy as a boulder. It seemed like no one had ever seen Lear being anxious.

This was the momentum of someone wanting to win. Once the violent attack of the Shadow Charm Reaper showed no effect, it would be Lear’s chance to counterattack next.

Everyone could see that the sequence of movements for attacks for the Darkness Empire relied mainly on speed. It was the best to act defensively rather than attack to deal with them. Once the offensive power of the opponent weakened, it would be their chance.

However, at this moment, the speed of the Shadow Charm Reaper became even faster. The Ability X of Shaofeng Bonthe fully erupted – Extreme Speed Encirclement!

There were many types of speed-based Ability Xs. However, there were even more categories if you sub-divided them up. Some allowed for straight line acceleration, some allowed others to zip in opposing directions quickly, and for Shaofeng Bonthe, his ability was circular speeding, also known as arc speeding. When he moved within an arc, not only would there be no decrease in speed, but there would even be an increase in speed. Once it started a violent attack, it would not be able to stop.

And for the people of the Darkness Empire, they did not accept losers.

The shadow of the Shadow Charm Reaper had completely enveloped the Unbounded Sky Chains. The frantic attack was happening in all directions, just like a monster who wanted to devour the Unbounded Sky Chains.

So long as he could endure it, he would endure it!

Just at this moment, Sloughberg, who was outside the battlefield, let out a cold sneer, and the pupils of his eyes suddenly disappeared.

Even though the opponent’s attacks were frantic, he did not break through Lear’s defense. However, everything before everyone’s eyes disappeared all of a sudden.

There was darkness everywhere. All of a sudden, the mecha disappeared, the whole arena disappeared. Even people also disappeared. The boundless darkness was going to gobble up both your physical body and your soul, and only fear would remain.

Ability X – Dark Canopy!

There was a trace of confidence within Sloughberg’s smile. As long as he was around, even trash could become an unrivalled warrior.

The range of his Dark Canopy abilities was really wide. So long as the enemy was being targeted by his dark imprint, he would be able to launch it in an instant. And once you were being enveloped by the Dark Canopy, not only would you completely lose your field of vision, your Ability X would also be confined, and only fear would remain in you.

The closer the distance, the stronger the effects. Even though this time the distance was slightly far, to accomplish it for even one second, it would have sufficed.

This was truly an unfathomable ability of a leader!

Rumbled…

In a split second, the darkness disappeared. Both mecha were separated by an explosion. They retreated by ten over meters and laid motionless. And immediately after, both mecha started giving off sparks and exploded!

The first-aid staff came pouring in, and they dragged the two pilots out of their mecha promptly.

Sloughberg also froze for a moment. Under such situation, he actually was still able to strike back. Lear’s mind was indeed extraordinarily tough.

The slow motion replay appeared. There were two screens, and the other screen showed the dark energy descending. At the most crucial moment of the fight, the Unbounded Sky Chains mech was suddenly enveloped by a black sphere. No matter how skillful Lear was, he would not have expected this. And the most ruthless part was that his Ability X was also confined in that split second, and the opponent had been waiting for this moment all along.

Despite completely losing his field of vision and Ability X, Lear was still able to make an attack. His basic skills were astonishing. He executed a quick and violent horizontal movement even though it was still a little slow, and he did not manage to avoid the hit on his chest, but his attack that followed immediately also caused the Shadow Charm Reaper to suffer a big loss. Shaofeng Bonthe definitely did not expect that anyone would still be able to react in that manner and make such a movement when being attacked by the Dark Canopy.

The result was that the Unbounded Sky Chains suffered six hits, and the Shadow Charm also suffered three sword attacks and one kick.

Both mecha lost their combat ability at the same time.

Everyone was looking at Sloughberg. It was evident that everyone had felt the ripple from his Ability X, it was just that no one would have expected that he would still be able to launch his Ability X even though he was separated by such a great distance. One must know that the Dark Canopy of Sloughberg had already been listed under the important abilities to take note of. The people of the Immortal Fairy Star, their old enemies, had been giving away their information for free everywhere.

The ability of the Dark Canopy was indeed scary. To lose your field of vision in an instant, this was not an attack on the mech, but a direct attack on the pilot. Without the ability to defend, and also this unfathomable ability, together with the effect of fear on the heart and soul, unless one had an extremely strong mind, they would definitely be affected. During a battle between experts, a little mistake would be deadly. The scariest thing was that it was able to confine the Ability X of the opponent, and the length of time of confinement was not clear.

It was just that nobody would have expected that he could launch the Dark Canopy from such a great distance. What about in close distance, how long would his Ability X be able to last???

Suddenly, everyone was feeling a little regretful for the Solar System Federation. Even though Lear had encountered such a power, he was still able to make a counterattack and ended the round in a draw. This was simply unbelievable, and it could only be said that his mind was absolutely scary enough. Basically, he was not affected by fear, and during the time when his Ability X was confined, he relied on his instinct to move horizontally, then he followed his senses to make the counterattack. This was definitely something that only an experienced soldier would be able to do; it was a move to exchange a life with another life.

But what should one do next?

This ability was not an ability that you could defend against just because you knew about it. On the contrary, the more you knew about it, the more terrifying it would be, because if you kept thinking about the opponent who was outside of the battlefield, once you were distracted, you would be crushed. This also meant that for every fight, the Solar System would have to face a situation of one against two, and this included the dark prince, Sloughberg Bonthe.

Both the pilots were injured. Little Bonthe seemed extremely furious. Even a cooked duck could fly away. He really did not expect that a person enveloped by the Dark Canopy would still be able to make a counterattack.

Lear’s arm was all bloody. One of the broken fragments had hit his right arm. However, Lear’s expression looked particularly gloomy and cold. The admiration of others to him was as worthless as trash. This time, he had given too much thought. He should not have given the opponent any chance, and should have killed him right away.

Having a team was the most harmful. If there were not so many useless people, he would not have had to waste so much effort!

Now the situation was not too encouraging.

Achilles and the rest could not think of any solution. As long as Sloughberg did not board a mech and charged into the battlefield, they were not breaking any rules. Looking at the proud expressions of the Darkness Empire, it seemed like they had expected this to happen.

This type of ability was more terrifying the more one knew about it. No one could stop the Darkness Empire from advancing.

Lear did not receive any in-depth treatment. He just sat down indifferently, and looked at Wang Zheng and Achilles. It was clear that the Solar System Federation had encountered a difficult problem. They were not scared at all to fight face them directly. However, now the opponents that they would be facing were all going to possess two scary types of Ability X. Perhaps Achilles and Wang Zheng would be able to win two rounds, but what would follow after that?

Wang Zheng stood up and walked over to the front of the stage. Looking at the referee he said, “The Solar System Federation is willing to carry out the team leader heavenly battle.”

Immediately, the whole audience was in uproar.

The team leader heavenly battle was a very special choice for the IG. Basically, for so many years since IG started, nobody had chosen it. Regardless of whether the game was in its preliminary or final stages, it could still be used.

As this was a choice of one player against the entire opponent’s team. It was not just five, but all twelve players.

IG was a military battle, and it was not a choice to completely eliminate the strong, hence that also meant giving a chance for a match for ten thousand enemies. So once the team leader heavenly battle was called for, the opponents would not be able to reject, but the opponent gained the power to kill their counterparts, and this also meant that regardless of life or death, they would be able to play unscrupulously.

What Wang Zheng was doing was basically seeking death…

“Wang Zheng, we have not reached a desperate end. There is no need to do this, we still have a chance!” Achilles immediately tried to stop him.

Lear was also stunned. One against twelve, this was the type of crazy thing to throw away one’s life that even he himself would definitely not do. Being the champion of IG was certainly something that he wanted, but to use your own life to exchange for it, it was definitely not worth it. This mental case!

Wang Zheng did not waver, he merely looked over at the people of the Darkness Empire.

They couldn’t help but say that Wang Zheng had no choice. The world was so big, and experts had been coming forth in large numbers. This ability of Sloughberg was really unfathomable.

The referee was stunned for a moment. “Are you sure?”

Wang Zheng gave a serious nod, and immediately the whole audience started to flare up. The first team leader heavenly battle in IG history had appeared!

Was he going to carry his whole team forward on his own???
