Sky-cracking Rider
Chapter 855 - 855: Section 849 - The End

Poof!~~

Miyoshi Xuesen flew out of the bridge along with his tower shield, spewing out a mouthful of blood that sprayed over three feet away.

At the same time, dozens of combat mechs that had been waiting outside the bridge entrance jumped in, but within seconds, a pile of shattered mech wreckage was thrown back out.

Countdown: 12 seconds!

In less than a round, they were completely wiped out again, utterly unable to withstand the assault.

The combat capabilities of the combat mechs were on par with regular soldiers, but in the face of such a level of battle, they weren't qualified to even serve as cannon fodder.

Miyoshi Xuesen looked at the tower shield that had blocked an attack for him and involuntarily gasped.

A large portion of the upper left corner of the tower shield was missing, the broken surface showing signs of thermal melting. Although the crystalline block near the handle was still intact, the magic array had been damaged, rendering the spell defense completely ineffective. The tower shield was scrapped and couldn't withstand another hit.

Several ninjas jumped out of the shadows beside Miyoshi Xuesen, dragging him away as far from the increasingly tumultuous bridge as possible.

Countdown: 9 seconds!

Boom!~

The entire ship shook violently. With nearly a hundred combat mechs lost in succession, no one dared approach the vicinity of the bridge.

In particular, the spiritual parasitism of the Parasitic Species had even ensnared an S-class esper, causing others to be increasingly reluctant to act rashly.

The three-dimensional holographic projections inside the bridge had all disappeared, ceasing normal operation, leaving the formerly empty cabin in utter disarray. Craters, holes, and rending marks were everywhere, with even the transparent portholes covered in spiderweb-like cracks of various sizes.

Countdown: 6 seconds!

The fragmented golden color in his pupils grew more dazzling, with scales covering Chen Fei's shoulders. The monstrous strength erupting from his arms made even the suspected divine breed Parasitic Species wary, unwilling to clash with him head-on.

Wielding the "Godslaying Spear" in one hand with powerful stabs and thrusts, and the elusive "Blood Spike" in the other, Chen Fei maneuvered like a shadow to each thrown weapon's mark. The combination of the straightforward and the unexpected long weapons left the Parasitic Species opponent's head aching.

Countdown: 3 seconds!

With his left hand, he casually threw the "Blood Spike," while his right hand thrust the "Godslaying Spear" forcefully, launching into a new round of combat.

Boom!~

The immense commotion from the bridge once again shook the entire ship. Those hiding in other cabins couldn't help but start to believe that the airship might very well crash due to this earth-shattering battle.

Though it was just a guess, the ship was indeed getting closer to the sea surface and would soon land on water.

The enormous impact released by spiritual power directly interfered with reality, flinging Chen Fei up and causing him to smash into the wall. Sliding down, he immediately crouched, pushed off the wall with all his strength, and propelled himself forward once more.

The countdown hit zero!

At this moment, the 15-second countdown ended, and the "Eyes of Tyranny" initiated a forced 15-second cooldown!

Energy Points -15!

The fragmented golden pupils reverted back to their original black, and the scales on his arms receded to reveal his skin.

Chen Fei finally regained a bit of sanity.

Though the "Eyes of Tyranny" couldn't be leveled up, the effects of the Neanderthal tribe's inherited secret technique still lingered. Despite his drastically reduced combat power, he wasn't completely helpless, capable of inflicting lethal damage with the "Blood Spike" and "Godslaying Spear."

Even though only a few rounds had elapsed in those ten or so seconds, Chen Fei had already gone all out, exhausting his deck of cards. Now he was almost spent, with no tricks left up his sleeve and unable to hold on for much longer.

On the other hand, his opponent, though occasionally flustered, had never truly been thrown off balance and was visibly adapting to Chen Fei's tactics.

The real gap in class and rank couldn't be bridged by a few clever tricks.

As time passed, who would ultimately fall behind was evident to Chen Fei from the start.

No more cards to play, and having just regained some sanity, he couldn't withstand the spiritual power attacks without the "Soul Guarding Seal," despite not being parasitized by the opponent's spiritual power.

The spiritually powerful Parasitic Species launched spiritual attacks as effortlessly as the Human Race ate or drank water, making such attacks seemingly ubiquitous and unavoidable.

With a deafening explosion, the sharp point of the "Godslaying Spear" struck the magic shield two feet away from the Parasitic Species, causing ripples to spread out from the impact site. The magic shield flickered but ultimately held, unlike previous ones that shattered.

From this moment, the tide of battle turned!

Chen Fei tried to hold on until the "Eyes of Tyranny" cooldown ended, planning to reactivate them, not caring whether he'd lose his sanity. Chen Xiao'er, when berserk, didn't give a damn about his own life, so he might as well fight with brute force.

In a sense, the "Eyes of Tyranny" could completely ignore the Parasitic Species' spiritual power attacks.

The suspected divine breed Parasitic Species didn't let the cyclic drop in Chen Fei's combat ability go to waste, coldly declaring the final judgment.

"It's over!"

Bound by his level, Chen Fei's actual combat power couldn't truly match the Parasitic Species, but his performance in the recent bout was commendable.

Wind, Fire, Thunder, Water, Dark, Earth... At least seven types of elemental energy converged madly, forming a small elemental storm on the verge of eruption.

A lion fighting a rabbit still uses all its strength, showing his utmost respect for Chen Fei as an opponent.

"Indeed, it's time to end this! 'Adam,' final unlock!"

Chen Fei grinned fiercely, a flash of silver on the back of his hand as he revealed a standard-yield Element Annihilation Bomb.

Damn to hell!

Everyone knew this: if driven to a corner, Chen Xiao'er would go berserk and scare even himself.

And everyone on the airship would most likely die in vain!

But at this critical moment, he couldn't care less. Dead men don't worry about floods.

Dragging the divine breed "Sagali" down to hell with him would be a huge win!

"Arrived!"

The Parasitic Species and Chen Fei simultaneously heard a voice in their ears.

The floor-to-ceiling portholes of the bridge shattered instantly, their metal crystalline glass (AlON) able to withstand 30mm caliber shells fragmented.

A woman with flowing white hair zipped in at lightning speed, pressing her hand on the divine breed's face and slamming it down hard.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!~

The second flagship quaked violently as if on the brink of disintegration.

The bridge floor broke open with a three-meter-wide hole, penetrating the cabins below and extending to the very bottom of the ship, revealing the undulating sea surface below.

Plop!~

A massive water column shot up, nearly touching the bottom of the ship.

The small elemental storm poised to erupt vanished as if a dream, as if nothing had happened.

The countdown on the Element Annihilation Bomb beside Chen Fei froze at the final two seconds, with "Adam" halting the detonation sequence in time.

Everyone on the second airship narrowly escaped death!

"Huh?"

Chen Fei stood there holding his weapons, looking around in confusion.

Where the hell did the Parasitic Species go?!

And who was that just now?

He heard a voice in his ear as a final parting shot.

"Little one of the Chen Family, not bad!"

A kid from the Chen Family?

Instead of the usual mission or operational call sign "Rookie," only someone related to the Chen Family gate would use such a term, and it had to be an elder.

Yet Chen Fei had never seen this person before.

Feeling a comprehensive sense of relief, he couldn't hold out any longer as his vision went dark.

Thud!

He collapsed to the ground, losing consciousness.

... After some time.

A bald head hesitantly poked into the bridge doorway, cautiously peeking inside. Spotting Chen Fei lying motionless on the ground, weapons scattered around, with no one else left apart from the broken floor and shattered portholes, he heaved a sigh of relief before his expression turned grave. Lowering his voice, he repeatedly called out softly.

"Beep beep! Beep beep! 'Rookie'? 'Rookie'? Little Chen, hey, are you alive?"

"..."

Exhausted, Chen Xiao'er couldn't respond to the monk.

Confirming the safety, Miyoshi Xuesen strode rapidly into the bridge, checking Chen Fei's breathing.

Thank the heavens, in an unfortunate turn of events, he's alive!

However, when he saw the display beside him showing "00:00:02," he froze for a moment before realizing what it was.

"Ahhhhhhhhh..."

The piercing scream was almost at the level of a psi skill.
