Mech: Shattering of the Galaxy Chapter 1592 - 108: Sky-Supporting Colossus
Previously on Mech: Shattering of the Galaxy...
Alva couldn’t help but be taken aback.
This colossal rib bone could only belong to a monstrous entity like the Giant Barbarian Elephant.
They had contemplated this possibility before.
The primary obstacle was the extreme hardness of such colossal King Beast bones.
Severing even a single rib from a King Beast would necessitate at least fifteen minutes of relentless, mountain-rending force.
Nevertheless, within the confines of the Burial Ground, attempting to cleave bones with such brute strength...
It was far more probable that they would be engulfed and annihilated by a swarm of Star Beasts before the task could be completed.
To transport such an immense beast bone with only two individuals?
Simply ensuring a safe return to the tribe would present a significant challenge in itself.
Yet, earlier, even the Wind Collector Bloer had claimed to hear no distinct sounds... so, was this item procured?
As Alva remained in a state of stunned disbelief, Mu Fan mimicked the motion of raising and striking down a blade.
"You... you chopped it off!?"
"Mm-hmm," Mu Fan affirmed with a serious nod. He felt a surge of gratitude for the War Armor Dragon Rider’s assistance; without its unparalleled sharpness, the Curved Light Scythe Blade would have been rendered useless against such a monstrous foe.
Mu Fan harbored a lingering sense of regret; he had yearned for the entire sternum section.
Alas, even with the War Armor Dragon Rider engaged, lifting such a massive portion proved impossible.
Consequently, he had to be content with severing this pillar-like, gigantic rib bone.
Thud!
Thud!
From the eastern expanse of the valley, the unhurried, ponderous footsteps of a colossal figure could be discerned as it loomed in the darkness.
"How do you manage to carry something of that magnitude?"
Alva, reluctantly accepting the explanation of how it was severed, understood the immense weight of a Beast King’s bone; it was undoubtedly comparable to a massive boulder.
"You guide the way. I must bring this back!"
Mu Fan declared with unwavering resolve, then flashed a grin at Alva, a chuckle escaping his lips.
An unsettling, emerald luminescence emanated suddenly from beneath his chest garment, and the spectral image of the Dragon Rider, which had previously cleaved through the Rock Armor Giant Rhinoceros, reappeared before Alva’s astonished eyes.
Mu Fan drew a steadying breath, then resolutely embraced the colossal rib with both arms.
The immense rib, akin to a load-bearing column of a grand structure, was hoisted onto Mu Fan’s shoulder.
He dropped to one knee.
Thud!
Mu Fan launched himself forward with the explosive force of a cannonball.
The eight-meter-tall, massive rib descended into Alva’s field of vision like a falling mountain.
Gulp.
For the first time, facing another individual, Alva swallowed reflexively, his mind drifting to contemplate the likelihood of his own victory against Mu Fan should they engage in combat, fully equipped.
It appeared his chances were steadily diminishing.
"Alva?"
A gentle inquiry swiftly pulled Alva back from his reverie.
"Ah, okay, let’s go!"
The two ceased their efforts at stealth, moving back with rapid strides.
Roar!
The approaching, gargantuan Star Beast seemed to have detected the presence of uninvited intruders.
It abruptly raised its head and let out a resounding roar.
Mu Fan observed a visible shockwave erupting in the air, sweeping past them with immense force.
Even the residual power of that single roar was profoundly terrifying.
That colossal creature.
Mu Fan cast a glance backward.
The darkness of the night failed to impede his vision.
Was that Star Beast... a mountain?
Indeed, what Mu Fan perceived was a mountain, complete with vegetation like vines and trees, now lumbering towards them!
In a fleeting moment of a crimson-hued vision, Mu Fan perceived the mountain-like entity as an immense reservoir of blood-red energy.
This revelation signified the creature’s extraordinary vitality and formidable life force.
Undoubtedly, the perceived threat posed by the Star Beast within Mu Fan’s awareness was escalating exponentially.
To confront such a being, piloting a Mecha would be essential.
Was a Mecha available at this moment?
After a swift assessment of his current predicament, Mu Fan turned silently, accelerating his pace past Alva…
Alva felt an overwhelming sense of emotional burden.
Mu Fan, burdened by the colossal eight-meter-long bone, was outpacing Alva.
This development…
Motivated by this, Alva’s blood surged, and he commenced a frantic sprint forward.
The other members of the team, also running, heard the thunderous sounds behind them and turned to witness a colossal black column descending from the heavens.
The sheer ferocity of its momentum instilled a primal fear, causing their hair to stand on end.
Thud!
"Show us the way."
With a look of utter confusion, Mu Fan questioned the suddenly halted group after he landed.
"Why are you all stunned? Run! That behemoth is pursuing us!"
Alva, observing the bewildered expressions of his comrades, sputtered in frustration and bellowed at them.
Instantly, the group resumed their desperate flight.
The Wind Collector Bloer took the lead, with Alva and Mu Fan flanking him protectively.
Seven White-armored Warriors followed in their wake, clutching their collected spoils tightly.
From behind, a mountain rumbled, periodically unleashing roars that shook the very earth.
The tranquility of the Burial Ground had been irrevocably shattered.
"Careful! Up ahead, there’s..."
Boom!
Before the warning from the rear could be fully uttered, Mu Fan leaped high with a furious cry, swinging the rib bone he carried with immense force!
A shrill screech echoed.
The five-meter-long Great Sand Crocodile was flattened instantly by Mu Fan’s devastating rib strike.
The scene, saturated with brutal impact, left those observing from behind with twitching mouths.
It was... overwhelmingly savage…
That display of strength was clearly superior to his bare-handed combat earlier, was it not?
They cast glances towards their captain’s retreating back, inwardly offering a silent prayer.
Observing the sheer power displayed.
It was likely that even their captain wouldn't survive three blows from that massive club...
Incredible!
Tsk, they murmured in awe.
Ahead, their path was obstructed by a pile of fallen rocks.
"Damn it, the exit is blocked by these rocks."
"We'll jump over from above, no time to waste, move!" Alva's words had barely finished.
Another shout erupted nearby.
Witnesses watched as the dark golden figure, hefting the oversized bone club, soared upwards and swung it down with immense force.
The colossal bone, like an intercontinental projectile, was launched, rocketing directly into the blocked passage.
Boom!
The formidable "stick" pulverized the obstructing rocks.
As the dust settled, Mu Fan descended like a phantom, arms outstretched, pulling firmly.
Mu Fan retrieved the thick bone club amidst the crowd's bewildered, complex, and numb stares.
Mu Fan charged out of the Burial Ground, leading the way!
Mu Fan, now carrying a gigantic eight-meter-long rib, ran ahead of everyone else.
From a distance, he resembled a monumental pillar sprinting independently.
Mu Fan...
"Is he even human?"
A candid brother from the White Armor clan honestly inquired.
His companions cast looks of admiration.
His question was remarkably fitting.
"Probably still is," the burly man, who had previously introduced Bloer, rarely concurred, speaking up.
With a swift smack, he hastily covered the back of his head.
"Can't you refrain from being foolish in front of a guest? Keep your comments to yourself when we're out!"
Alva chided them with slight annoyance.
His newly recruited subordinates were simply too talkative.
This was not the conduct expected of a White Armor Warrior.
Boom!
A distant rumble of colliding mountains echoed from behind.
It was followed by an enraged roar.
However, neither sound moved closer.
The group exchanged glances, collectively releasing a long breath of relief.
"We've finally escaped the danger!"
