Mech: Shattering of the Galaxy Chapter 1574 - 90: You Will All Die
Previously on Mech: Shattering of the Galaxy...
As Mu Fan drew his arm back to its zenith, the Dark Gold Short Stick was angled directly towards the ground.
"Brother Mu..." Little Enoch whispered, his voice tinged with uncertainty.
"What is he planning to do?"
A clear, childish query, accompanied by a sudden tremor in the atmosphere, cut through the air.
Buzz!
At this precise moment, twin beams of deathly green Light Blades sprang forth from either extremity of the Dark Gold Short Stick.
The instant these sweeping blades ignited, the very Qi surrounding Mu Fan erupted with unleashed power.
"Against this idiotic beast before me!"
With a guttural shout, Mu Fan yanked his half-submerged right leg free, hoisted it high, and then brought it down with crushing force.
His advance left naught but the fleeting impression of a frozen sprint, while the earth beneath him fractured with a thunderous roar, sending rocks scattering and dust billowing!
Beneath the gloom of the night sky, a spectral green light shot forward with lethal intent.
Moo!
Amidst the bellowing of the colossal rhinoceros, its savage form erupted from the tall grass, charging with ferocious momentum.
"Form up!"
Alva bellowed, launching himself eight to ten meters into the air like a projectile, bravely confronting the charging behemoth.
Every White-armored Warrior raised their War Axes in unison, their muscles bulging beneath their beast-hide attire, their gazes fixed resolutely forward.
These infernal beasts absolutely must not breach the perimeter of the grand tent.
With a heavy, dull thud of impact, Alva, exuding ultimate masculine ferocity, swung his Shield in a wide arc before him, dropping into a low, defensive crouch.
His entire being coiled like a spring wound to its maximum tension, poised to explode upwards in the very next second.
But precisely at this juncture, observable to all eyes, the colossal rhinoceros, which had just utilized the terrain for a powerful leap, abruptly ceased its motion.
A razor-thin line materialized on the rhinoceros's horn, extending straight over its crown and continuing its descent to its tailbone.
Bang!
The sound was akin to a clap of thunder.
The fifteen-meter-tall, thirty-ton rhinoceros detonated with an earth-shattering boom, directly before the astonished and petrified gazes of the onlookers.
Blood erupted like colossal tidal waves, showering the air.
Its gigantic body, bisected perfectly from head to tail, plummeted to the ground with immense force.
At that moment, its internal organs were violently expelled, soaring into the sky, and as a rain of blood began to fall, it washed over the land with a suffocating sense of terror.
Boom!
Dust transformed into a crimson paste.
Alva's pupils constricted to microscopic points in an instant.
The hearts of the Wolf Armor Group warriors lurched violently in unison.
The scene, hair-raising in its detail, unfolded before them in such a bloody, brutal fashion, its impact equally shocking.
In that instant, every individual craned their heads upwards in sheer horror, their gazes piercing through the center of the mountain-like rhinoceros corpse, finally settling upon a silhouette that was slowly rising to its feet.
At this juncture, Edgewood felt every single hair on his body stand on end.
To cleave a fifteen-meter-tall Rock Armor Rhinoceros in twain, from horn to tail, with naught but one's physical body.
This was a Rock Armor Giant Rhinoceros capable of impaling even mountain-sized beasts that resembled city fortifications!
Furthermore, perched atop a soaring eagle, Edgewood witnessed that silhouette lift its head, revealing a chilling smile directed his way.
"One final matter concerning you and your master..."
"...you shall both meet your demise."
These concluding three words, delivered with the casual tone of an old acquaintance, carried an icy profundity that instilled primal fear, their echoes resonating beneath the nocturnal sky.
"...A madman... an absolute madman."
Edgewood swallowed hard, his throat dry. Though a hundred meters separated them, why did Mu Fan's pronouncement induce such heart palpitations and shivers?
He was the scion of the fourth Elder of the Red Stone Tribe.
He was a Disguiser, decorated with the success of numerous critical infiltration missions, Edgewood!
He was also a seasoned warrior, one who had personally dispatched hundreds of adversaries!
How could he possibly succumb to fear and trembling in the face of a single person's threat?
Thus, Edgewood employed laughter as a brittle shield against his inner dread. Observing the remaining seven colossal rhinoceroses beginning to stampede uncontrollably, he cackled with a manic fervor, "Arrogant whelp, your eagle soars in the heavens; come and slay me if you dare. Can you!? You pathetic worm!"
"Do you hear them? The furious roars of the rhinoceroses."
"The Red Stone Tribe shall rend you and those foolish White Armor folk into pieces!"
"And as for you, I shall personally slit your throat!"
With a hideous roar, Edgewood shot a searing glance at Mu Fan, finally placing both hands upon the neck of the eagle, which, having received its implicit command, prepared for aerial departure.
Hovering fifty meters above, now more than three hundred meters distant from the elite Wolf Armor Group of the White Armor Tribe, no amount of skill a Hunter possessed could possibly hurl a Flying Axe to reach this altitude.
The fallen son of the Second Elder, Cregaven, slain in battle.
The elder of the Black Water Tribe, Kemmler, met his end vanquished.
The eighty-strong guardian forces of both clans, annihilated to the last man.
This century's most significant blood feud was poised to ignite the savage wrath of the Red Stone Clan's warriors.
Glaring with fiery eyes towards the distance, the warriors of the White Armor Tribe ultimately could not apprehend that darned individual.
Once the news reached the Red Stone Tribe.
Then the subsequent enemy assault might very well be an entire army of tribes.
The Red Stone Tribe, leveraging their position as trade masters, could potentially rally a massive alliance of tribal forces.
The White Armor Clan's approaching engagement would undoubtedly be extraordinarily challenging.
The assembled crowd gazed upon the quietly resolute silhouette with sentiments of deep respect and complex emotions.
They harbored no animosity towards this suddenly appearing powerhouse; their regret stemmed solely from his inability to detain the enemy, thereby infinitely diminishing the White Armor Tribe's opportunities for respite and recovery.
But at the very instant everyone believed the conflict had reached its conclusion.
Mu Fan delicately brought his right thumb and forefinger together, forming a precise circle at his lips.
A sharp, piercing whistle dramatically rent the night sky.
This whistle, mirroring its originator's voice, carried an icy, eerie quality.
Hmm?
Perched atop the eagle, Edgewood's brow furrowed as an inexplicable sense of unease began to stir within him.
Despite the increasing distance separating him from his adversary, and the eagle soaring ever higher...
Why was the sensation of dread and heart palpitations intensifying?
"Aao!!"
At this precise moment, a resonant dragon's roar echoed majestically through the heavens.
Every eye before White Armor Village widened in astonishment.
Edgewood, who had been questioning the strange occurrences, turned his gaze back towards Mu Fan in the distance. Suddenly, he felt the eagle beneath him convulse violently, almost causing him to lose his balance and be flung off.
Yet, before he could voice his angry reprimand to the eagle, he observed that the pale moonlight, which had just illuminated him, abruptly vanished, replaced by a rapidly expanding shadow that began to engulf him.
And then, the melodic dragon roar, which had sounded from afar, was now rapidly approaching... directly behind him!
Horrified, Edgewood craned his head upwards.
Within his peripheral vision, a colossal dragon tail, shimmering with a metallic luster, swung with tremendous force.
The immense shadow instantly consumed his entire field of vision.
Boom!
With a deafening crash, the magnificent eagle was obliterated before it could even emit a cry.
Edgewood, still on the eagle's back, had barely enough time to instinctively brace his muscles as a mountain-shattering force violently impacted him.
Boom!
Immediately, an ear-splitting ringing, a buzzing sound, flooded his senses.
As the world spun uncontrollably, Edgewood was sent hurtling diagonally towards the earth like a missile launched from the sky.
"Aao!!"
Once more, a ferocious dragon roar erupted as the dragon's form swooped downwards. It effortlessly seized a gargantuan rhinoceros in its talons and hurled it with immense power.
That rhinoceros, mid-charge, was violently flung away with a sickening crunch!
