The Geared Immortal

Chapter 436 - The Final Bout (2)

Chapter 429

/*unedited*/

Silence envelops the whole arena as the crowd watches at the edge of their seat as a mech twice the size of its opponent lifting its huge arm and aiming towards its unsuspecting enemy.

The fight was intense and overwhelming that everyone didn't know what to expect to happen next. They thought that Park Jiyong would have already won the fight. But then suddenly a large arm comes flying towards his mech.

Boom!

A thick dust cloud covered the area as an explosion occurs upon the contact.

Park Jiyong uses his shield to block the incoming arm. However, once the arm hit his shield it exploded into a huge black mushroom cloud.

A gasp of shock can be heard from the people on the stage as they felt afraid of the outcome. But of course, still have to wait as the dust cloud is covering everything and the silhouette of the mechs on the arena disappears.

"What happened? Did that huge explosion blow up pilot Park Jiyong's mech? No way…"

"We have to wait. Everything is still blurry, even the shield is hazy."

"I don't think anyone could survive that explosion…"

"Haha… I think that small mech is already out of the picture."

The crowd's mixed reaction of the scene and their low murmuring while waiting for the outcome can be heard all over the stadium.

Suddenly the hazy and distorted images on the shielding of the stadium became clear. And then everyone saw the silhouettes of the mech on the stage.

Park Jiyong's mech is sitting under its shield which is not in tatters, while his mech's armor is also ruined. However, in one look everything is still fine. Meanwhile, his opponent which was affected by the strong blast was thrown on the side of the arena.

The huge mech's limbs and head were melted, but the pilot is still inside the cockpit. This is because it was not life-threatening yet for him. He was able to escape the heat and the blast by sacrificing his mech's libs.

'Pilot Park Jiyong won!' Central's voice echoed through the air and everyone erupted with a loud cheer.

"Wohooo! I knew he made it! That was awesome man!"

"Yeah, Park Jiyong was cool… too cool!"

"Hey, I want to be a mech pilot too…"

"This is amazing! I want to experience this someday."

And so the crowd's reaction filled the air of the stadium once again.

Meanwhile, in the VIP viewing lounge, Lin Qintang has broken the glass he is holding as he threw daggers at the mech standing on the stage. He could not believe that their backup plan didn't work.

"The materials used in those mechs are really strong… How could they combine such material? This is almost impossible… even the scientist and engineers in my laboratory and workshop could not even compound such metal… how did they do this?" Lin Qintang thought as he angrily gritted his teeth.

"It seems that we will lose this fight… are we still going to do the second bout?" a middle-aged man behind Lin Qintang asked.

"How could we not? We have already reached our goal. The military has ordered a lot of units from us… although we lost the fight, the tech is ours now… it will only take time until we can improve it…" Lin Qintang said with a smirk.

Unknown to them, what Shin Jiao gave them is a dead-end tech. No matter how hard they improve the mechs its movements would be sluggish and slow compared to the NXT Element Company mechs with human-like agility, movement, and more…

After the fight, the construction basic Frame Mechs began repairing the arena. This scene also caught the sight of the people in the stadium.

"Those things are fast and efficient if I can have those things, creating a building and other infrastructure would be a cinch."

"Haha… Those things are a bit expensive, here is a brochure prepared by the NXT Element Company. They have a variety of those things for different construction types."

"Well, the thing that amazes me the most is the ability of those robots to float or hover."

"I agree… I think our country's future in engineering and infrastructure will change really soon."

The men inside the VIP viewing lounge began talking while watching the busy working force on the arena.

Meanwhile, Susan and her assistants are busy entertaining the guests as they receive tons of offers for the construction mech. It seems that they are more popular than those used in battles.

Not long later, Shin Jiao's mech and his opponents began walking up the stage.

People began to once again clamor at the scene. And what surprises the audience is the mech of Shin Jiao who is not carrying any shield. Instead, it looks like a warrior with two swords hanging on its hips.

"Everything is ready on my end." Shin Jiao said calmly.

Contrary to his calmness, the two pilots on the other mechs are feeling the tension. They saw the fight with Park Jiyong and it made them feel a bit scared to face another like him.

But then from their speakers, a voice interrupted their thoughts.

'Guys! That one is the sniper, so he is weak in close combat. Try to immediately cover the gap…' their strategy commander said on the other end of the line.

'Yes, sir.' The two replied.

The larger mech began to prepare its armaments, while the other mech took out its shield and its right arm is armed with two spikes connected to a mechanical object. From the looks of it, those two spikes would act as a pile bunker. This is strong enough to penetrate metallic surfaces.

Then the countdown started.

'Start!' echoed the voice of Central.

Shin Jiao's mech took out its two swords, as it stood in a stance of a swordsman. Then torrents of bullets began raining towards Shin Jiao's direction, coupled with a few missiles flying towards him. While this is happening, the small mech began advancing towards the right side of the arena. They wanted to corner him so that he would be trapped.

When the smaller mech reached its location, it stood rooted to the ground while watching the scene in front of it.

Everyone was silent with their jaws hanging.

Shin Jiao's mech is actually rapidly slicing through the air and what it is slicing are the bullets flying towards its direction.

Shin Jiao turned off his automatic targeting system. As he wanted to only use his two swords in the fight he didn't need the targeting system. With his free reigns on mech's control, he used his fast reflexes to cut each of the incoming bullets.

In other people's eyes, bullets are fast, but with Shin Jiao's level, they look slow. And so with quick movements of his swords, his mech advances while cutting or deflecting the raining bullets and missiles. The pilot in the large mech shooting at Shin Jiao is already on the edge, with buckets of sweat trickling down his forehead.

"Damn you! Damn you! Damn you! You… you monster, just die!!!" he shouted as he squeezed the trigger.

If he could he wanted that his mech would have more guns and bullets to spare as he tightens his hand on the trigger of his control stick.

Clunk! Clunk!

Click! Click!

The sound of him exhausting his ammunition reverberated through the air as his mech stopped while the pilot looks at his screen in fear.

His body began shaking as he saw a flash of light reflected from the sword as it slices towards its torso.

'No you bastard!' shouted someone.

Then the smaller mech can be seen charging towards Shin Jiao's mech trying to stop him from slicing the larger mech. But it was all in vain as his sword cleanly cut the large mech in half.

And once the smaller mech reached near Shin Jiao, it lifted its thick shield wanting to bash Shin Jiao's mech with it.

However, he just tilted his mech and slice downwards.

Then his sword cleanly cut through the thick shield like it was nothing.

Everyone in the audience gasped in disbelief upon seeing this scene.

"Damn! Is he a swordmaster?"

"That is actually a rare skill… I heard that to cut through steel, one's sword should be sharp enough along with their mind."

"This is totally cool! I recorded everything. Hahaha…"

The crowd was astonished and excited upon seeing the fight.

On the arena, the mech which is a bit bigger than that of Shin Jiao's suddenly took a few steps back. The pilot inside is a little shaken at this situation. He now knew that they are not a match to these fast mechs. No matter how hard they try, it would be almost impossible for them to win one on one.

Hence the pilot decided to surrender and drop his shield and his other weapons except for the pile bunker which is connected to its arm. Then he raised his hands in surrender.

'Alright it's your win…' he said in the speaker.

Shin Jiao lower his weapon.

But before Central's voice can say anything the, enemy mech suddenly made its move. It uses its booster and quickly reached Shin Jiao's position which is perfect for its pile bunker to work.

'Die stupid bastard!' the pilot shouted with an evil grin on his face.

They have suffered a humiliating defeat in the hands of just two mechs.. How can he tolerate such an error? How can he accept such defeat? Hence even if it is underhanded, he wanted to at least destroy one enemy mech.
