Chapter 402: Battle against General Sylvari Charr! [2]

When the 2 Great Plasma Blades clashed, one a Claymore and the other an Odachi, it was like reality came off at its seams.

KABOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!

Reality fractured!

At the point of contact, the sensors of the Bulwark MK.II Titan Frame detected a tear in reality that caused the air to squeeze and twist, briefly tearing open an entrance to a dark abyss whose mere sight filled Leon with dread.

The fracture in reality repaired itself within a fraction of a second, but it did happen and that alone showed the harrowing magnitude of this current battle.

And just like expected, the Bulwark MK.II Titan Frame was the weaker one in the aftermath of the clash.

While General Sylvari Charr stood his ground like a mountain in the aftermath, immovable and unstoppable, the Bulwark MK.II Titan’s large frame groaned and strained, then it was thrown off the ground!

Flung helplessly through the air, Leon and his mech suit became compromised and open for a debilitating attack.

But well, not really because even as the mech suit was flung in the air in the aftermath of that titanic clash, its sensors briefly scrambled, Leon was not blinded because he still had 25 other eyes in this battlefield.

And he still had 20 other bodies and limbs. He still had offensive drones, and he still had a Gun Drone.

Somewhere at the periphery of the battlefield, the Sentry-IV Autocannon Drone stood, waiting for orders.

And the moment the Bulwark MK was flung into the air, it received that order and immediately unleashed hell with all its primary and secondary weapons!

TUTUTUTUTUTUTUTUTUTUTUTU...!

The world shuddered as the six-barrel rotary cannon of the Gun Drone’s main Cannon rotated, unleashing a barrage of armor-piercing and tungsten rounds at the General at extreme velocity!

That alone was enough to make even General Sylvari stop.

Afterall, he wasn’t a C Rank Gene Augur or a C Rank Cyber Gladiator, he was a C Rank NetRunner, one of the Classes labeled as paper Class even at C Rank.

A C Rank NetRunner simply didn’t have the END and tenacity to withstand such cannon shots head-on.

Yet, that was not all that the Sentry-IV Autocannon Drone unleashed.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The Micro-Missile Burst Rack of the Autocannon Drone unleashed a payload of micro missiles that ignited the atmosphere with fire!

At the same time, the Directed Flechette Dispenser compartment of the Autocannon Drone unleashed a burst of tungsten flechettes.

All of them were shot with an eerie accuracy, aimed right at the General to drown him in violence, forcing the Synth to respond even as his energy shield triggered, covering his body in blue light.

And yet, that was still not all as from the sky, a swarm of drones fell and detonated as once, igniting the sky with burning fire!

Dozens of Vita7 Magnesium Nanites ignited, burning the air right on top of the Federation General!

And still, that was not all because at the exact moment that Leon ordered the Sentry-IV Autocannon Drone to attack, with his other pair of limbs, he also attacked as multiple Tank Class Doom Rover v0.2s aimed and unleashed hell.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

General Sylvari Charr was drenched in a swarm of ranged attacks that warped the atmosphere and for a moment, the early morning air burned!

BZZZZ...!

The temperature rose instantly to such sweltering levels that this wasteland seemed to have turned into the heart of a desert under an extremely hot sun.

The air around the General trembled and warped under this power, burning through his high-class energy shield!

...

After that one attack with his great Odachi, Geneal Sylvari Charr suddenly felt like he was caught in the heart of a fierce attack from a great army.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Even with his energy shield protecting him, this General realized that it would not last and staying in one place would leave his life threatened.

’My life threatened huh...?’ He thought, feeling a sense of déjà vu.

It was the same feeling that he felt 131 years ago when for the first time in his life since becoming a C Rank Ascended, he found himself in a humbling situation that left him vulnerable, putting his life in danger.

He smiled darkly. ’Yeah, he’s still the same Mechanist!’

Tightening his grip on the great Odachi, even through the burning terrain around him, his gray eyes ignited with neon green ADE.

Ping Scan!

Bzzz!

Like sensors, his eyes scanned, piercing through the carpet of flames and instantly pinpointing the position of all the war machines of the Mechanist through all the chaos and interference.

Once he found their locations, he mapped them out and categorized them before searching for his target.

’That one first!’ He determined his first target immediately.

From the feedback that his energy shield gave him, he already realized within the milliseconds since the first attack that his greatest threat was the Gun Drone that was at the periphery of this battlefield.

If he didn’t want to be interrupted anytime he attacked with such firepower that could actually threaten him, he needed to take care of that Gun Drone first.

BZZZZ!

His neon green ADE wrapped around his body tightly, then...

Neural Projection!

He hopped through the psionic network, instantly crossing the distance separating them to invade the Gun Drone.

He intended to compromise the machine from inside and snatch it away from the Mechanist.

But by attempting this, this C Rank NetRunner got the shock of his life as his psionic ghost form bounced off the neural node of the Gun Drone like rubber acting as an insulator and rejecting electricity!

’Huh?’

He couldn’t invade! There was resistance.

And for the umpteenth time since ambushing this Mechanist, this NetRunner felt like his worldview was being challenged.

Since when did machines start resisting Neural Projection? That was literally the lifeline and the unique advantage of NetRunners!

There was no one to answer his question, and it filled his heart with dark fury and apprehension. The General’s mechanical face twisted in a bestial snarl.

"YOU BRAT!" He growled.

He failed to hop directly into the neural node of the Sentry-IV Autocannon Drone to affect it from inside, but after whatever resistance was inside it pushed him out, he emerged right in front of the Gun Drone.

A distance away from them, Leon’s eyes narrowed. ’Just like I expected, it’s not as effective against a C Rank NetRunner...’

But still he was able to prevent the General from directly invading his machines to compromise them like Colonel Alphonse did some time ago.

That was an advantage.

But he barely had the thought when General Sylvari took one heavy step of his left leg for leverage, making the ground quake and crack open as he raised his great plasma Odachi up and swung at the Gun Drone at point-blank range!

’Eh?’

KABOOMMMM!
