The Ghost Walkers have successfully infiltrated and disabled most of New Bauhinia's defenses, leaving Rose as the sole defender of the C7 relay point. Awaiting her are five enemy mechs. Meanwhile, Bai E explains that he is deliberately holding back, believing Rose needs to prove herself in this dire situation.

The "Ghost Walker" unit demonstrated exceptional teamwork, their five Mechas operating as a single entity, executing synchronized maneuvers of entanglement, surprise assaults, and immobilization.

Rose found herself ensnared within an invisible trap, each of her ferocious attacks skillfully neutralized or deflected, all while she relentlessly endured hidden strikes.

Her shield's energy depleted at an alarming rate, and visible damage began to mar the Mecha's exterior.

Despite the adverse conditions, she showed no signs of fatigue, her fighting style evolving to become both more ferocious and more refined.

She expertly exploited every piece of cover, the terrain itself, and even the residual energy from her adversaries' attacks to evade and retaliate.

In a breathtaking close-quarters engagement, she capitalized on a minute opening from her opponent, sacrificing her left arm's armor, which was nearly breached, to execute a counter. Her high-frequency blade spun with astonishing speed and at an impossible angle, severing the critical joint in the damaged enemy Mecha's leg!

"One down!" Rose breathed, acknowledging the significant price paid.

"Finish her off swiftly!" The "Faceless" finally conveyed a tremor of uncertainty in their voice.

The remaining three Mechas, including the "Faceless" himself, abruptly escalated their offensive!

Rose's Mecha buckled under the relentless onslaught. Its shields, completely overwhelmed, shattered. The armor sustained multiple breaches, and the weapon system on its left arm ceased functioning.

But just as the onlookers anticipated Rose's imminent defeat, she initiated an utterly unforeseen maneuver—

She guided her Mecha, teetering on the verge of collapse, to advance rather than retreat, hurtling directly toward the "Faceless"!

Concurrently, she channeled all her residual power into the cutter blade of her right arm and the Mecha's thrusters!

"Suicidal!" the "Faceless" scoffed coldly. The Shadow Piercing Sword transformed into a deadly streak of black light, aiming directly for the cockpit of the "Ambush" Mecha!

However, Rose's charge, which appeared to be a desperate, self-destructive act, was merely a diversion!

At the critical instant before impact, the "Ambush" Mecha executed a gravity-defying sideways roll and a reverse thruster burst, managing to evade the sword tip by a hair's breadth, with only the chest armor being grazed.

Simultaneously, her high-frequency blade, propelled by the centrifugal force of the roll, carved a blinding arc, striking viciously at the shoulder of another "Ghost Walker" Mecha attempting a pincer attack!

"Sizzle!" A fatal blow empowered by Spiritual Energy!

The Mecha's entire right arm, along with a section of its shoulder plating, was cleanly severed!

The system registered a critical damage report, rendering it temporarily incapacitated for the most part.

"The second one..." Rose's breathing inside the cockpit was ragged, akin to a bellows. Her Mecha, ravaged by extreme operational demands and continuous combat, was on the brink of disintegration, half-kneeling on the ground, with only its right arm managing to support the cutter blade.

Facing five opponents alone, eliminating one, and critically wounding another.

Rose had accomplished a feat bordering on the impossible.

Yet, she too was reaching her absolute limit.

The "Faceless" and their sole remaining comrade had already sealed off every possible escape route.

The Shadow Piercing Sword and another Sharp Blade were simultaneously targeted at her cockpit and primary energy core…

"My goodness, these Bauhinia individuals are quite formidable."

"It's the end for her… Rose truly gave it her all."

"What a tragedy! To perform so exceptionally against five opponents!"

"New Bauhinia demonstrates honor even in defeat, but… a loss is ultimately a loss."

"What is Bai E even doing?!"

Within the International Pavilion, Yue Ying's gaze shifted towards Bai E.

Bai E maintained a calm demeanor, yet a subtle flicker of satisfaction seemed to dance deep within his eyes.

"Did you witness it? That is her brilliance."

His expression then grew contemplative, "And now..."

Just as the "Faceless" sword was poised to pierce the "Ambush" Mecha, Rose felt that familiar mental barrier being touched once more. An immense, comforting, and potent will descended instantaneously!

Unlike the previous underwater intervention that aided Tidal Flow, this "descension" was more direct and profound.

Rose could distinctly perceive that Bai E's will did not usurp control but rather merged seamlessly with her own combat will, acting as the most unshakeable foundation, the keenest blade!

Her senses expanded boundlessly, and her command over the Mecha's battered frame achieved a microscopic level of precision, as if every single component and energy conduit resided within her consciousness!

To external observers, the "Ambush" Mecha, previously half-crouched and appearing ready to collapse, suddenly radiated an aura of formidable composure and lethal intent!

It moved!

Without fully rising, it utilized its kneeling posture as a pivot point. The Mecha slid sideways like an ethereal phantom, weightlessly evading the converging strikes of the two deadly weapons.

Meanwhile, its sole remaining, damaged right arm, wielding the high-frequency cutter blade, executed a simple, unadorned arc that seemed capable of cleaving through all paths and destinies!

This strike was executed with a speed that defied thought and a precision that was absolute!

"Clang! Swoosh—!"

First, the weapon of another "Ghost Walker" team member was parried. Then, the blade swiftly swept across the weak point of its Mecha's neck protection! A flash of light, and the Mecha instantly halted its movements, with the system marking it as a "fatal strike"! The "Ambush" Mecha's actions proceeded without interruption, using its momentum to complete a turn. Facing the "Faceless" Mecha, whose actions were delayed by a mere fraction of a second due to sheer surprise, the cutter blade was brought up once more. This time, the blade embodied not only Rose's desperate determination but also Bai E's cutting-edge power that severed all possibilities! "Break!" The unspoken intention resonated as if within a desolate graveyard. The Shadow Piercing Sword was precisely deflected. The "Faceless" Mecha's vaunted Spiritual Ability Field, which could merge with shadows, dissolved like ice and snow under the sun when confronted by this unadulterated strike! The blade pierced its chest armor unimpeded, precisely severing the connection between its Spiritual Core and the central hub of the Mecha's primary control system!
