The Death List Novel - Chapter 563
Chapter 563 Death Battle (2)
“My lord, that small warship escaped, leaving only a portion of its mecha behind. What should we do?” A bald Big man asked on the communication channel.
“They don’t want to attract the attention of the cosmic octopus, but the ones who left behind should be Apostle.” Wolf scanned the colossus beneath his feet with fear and took a deep breath. “Everyone, don’t hold back. Quickly end this battle and force the independent warship to submit to us for the safety of our companions!”
At this moment, Wolf did not think too much. Although he did not know which guild was facing him, since the situation had already turned out like this, even if the enemy also had a high-tier Apostle, they could only brave it out.
Unlike military armor, Apostle’s body, which supported the Holy Light Division in battling the universe, was a biological progeny derived from Jannamer. In fact, their essence was similar to a full-fledged biological mecha. However, they did not need to rely on Angel Keith’s clones as the core of their control. Moreover, their transformation efficiency was even higher, and they could even appear in their original appearance.
Of course, the Jannamer progeny has its drawbacks when it comes to better behavior. They don’t have the unique armor of a soldier-man-machine armor, but rely on the biological body of Jannamer to simulate all kinds of weapons.
This was also the main reason why Qin Lun was able to recognize his acquaintances. Wolf and the others appeared in the starry sky as if they were humans that had been magnified dozens of times.
The ten Holy Light Apostles shone with starlight, giving the body of the creature that made up the body the transparent texture of Jannamer. They didn’t see any intense movements, just like jellyfish swimming in the ocean, spraying towards the enemy’s armor.
The two teams quickly formed into a group. After Qin Lun stealthily disappeared, he did not participate in the battle immediately. Instead, he hid to the side and watched the situation.
From time to time, blazing beams of particles lit up in the starry sky, each leaving behind an endless afterimage in the retina. In terms of maneuverability, it was obvious that the armor of a soldier was even higher. Giese had learned his lesson in the last war, using mecha mobility as his number one weapon in the battle against Jannamer. Now, he had finally unleashed his full potential.
In the early stages of the battle, even though Qin Lun’s side had a small number of people, they had the upper hand, causing Apostle, who was part of the Holy Light Division, to be tired of fighting. However, the Holy Light guild possessed a true Jannamer sub-body, and its recovery ability was incomparable. Often, the particle beam would heal in the sparks of starlight as soon as it tore their bodies apart.
However, after the Divine Light Division had familiarized themselves with the way soldiers fought, the battle situation began to develop towards a level playing field, and it was slowly tilting towards the members of the Divine Light Division.
The reason for that was because the originally gigantic humanoid Jannamer daughters had actually started their second evolution after their initial embarrassment. The particle orbital cannon and APB force field of the soldier-man armor were simulated with the biological body. The battle between the two sides looked more like the training scene of the two teams of soldiers-man-armor.
The beam of particles struck the APB force field of both sides and starlight splashed everywhere. In the long-range exchange, the advantage of the weapon-man-machine armor was quickly lost, and it could no longer easily tear apart the Janamer sub-body.
“In just a dozen minutes, it has actually evolved to this state!” Qin Lun’s gaze flickered, and a trace of coldness appeared on his face. “Jannamer is indeed far superior to Giese in terms of level of life. In terms of individual evolution, even the ancient Angel Keith is probably far inferior.”
“Jannamer’s traits are already obvious. Giese is still too confident. Without Apostle’s intervention, unless they join forces with the other two intelligent races, Faith alone will definitely be defeated!”
Qin Lun sighed, feeling very fortunate in his heart. No wonder the other party dared to lure Jannamer’s body closer to planet X-352. He was clearly confident that he could defeat the warships of the other factions, wanting to use force to suppress them. If it weren’t for the random entry of the universe octopus, the result would have been hard to say.
“Can’t help but make a move?” Qin Lun’s heart skipped a beat as he looked at a corner of the starry sky.
There was always a child of Jannamer who looked like Elves hanging in the air with his shoulders crossed. He should be the leader of the enemy team. Even though he was so far away, this person still gave Qin Lun tremendous pressure.
Relying on the ability of the Thorned Eye, the aura coming from Elves was as heavy as a mountain. It only made Qin Lun bitterly smile and feel that it was too sharp. Sometimes, it was not a good thing.
Wolf scanned the corners for a while, but there was always a vague warning in his heart, as if there was a pair of eyes staring at him. This was also the reason why he was so slow to make a move.
However, after paying close attention for a while and not finding the source of the uneasiness, Wolf finally decided to personally take action. As they fought, they consciously moved away from the cosmic octopus.
After such a long time, they had finally escaped from the colossus’ synchronous orbit. On the other hand, the Attack was also out of sight. Wolf could see that the enemy in front of him was already thinking of escaping, and the battle situation had reached the most critical turning point.
“Since you refuse to take the initiative, let me see how long you can endure!” Wolf sneered and reached out with his right hand to pull out a telescope.
Just as he was putting on this posture, his body paused strangely, as if a puppet had suddenly lost its manipulator.
“So fast!” On the other side, Qin Lun, who had been observing him, suddenly widened his eyes.
His complicated eyesight was not a real eye, but an ability to sense Qi.
Qin Lun could only feel an indescribable suction force in the telescope that Wolf had used his finger to pull out. It sucked Wolf in like a whale absorbing water and then spat him out from another space.
Wolf, who was still in front of Qin Lun, was only an afterimage of his aura, and his true body had long since disappeared.
This is Holy Light Team’s deputy commander, “space manipulator” Wolf’s Apostle ability-puppet!
Qin Lun did not rashly sneak attack Wolf. His strategy was correct. It was precisely because he did not appear that Wolf endured until now. Unfortunately for them, Wolf, a high-ranking Apostle, had replaced his skills in the Gospel World.
As a cosmic creature, Jannamer has the ability to travel through space itself. Originally, their offspring were unable to withstand spatial shuttling, but as Wolf, who descended on Apostle, he had clearly become a special case.
The “missing” Wolf instantly appeared beside Huo Biao and sneered as he grabbed the soldier’s shoulder. As an experienced high-level Apostle, he had long noticed the two MT players in the enemy squad.
In the Apostle Team Battle, killing MT was equivalent to winning the final victory. The cosmic air war in the Gospel World may be different, but in this small battle, this principle still applies.
“You” Huo Biao stared at the handsome Elves beside him in disbelief. He shouted and smashed the APB shield towards Wolf’s head. At the same time, the armor plate on Wolf’s waist suddenly bounced off, and his left hand pulled out the magnetic resonance knife.
“Not bad!” Wolf’s eyes lit up. He admired his opponent’s performance. Under his surprise attack, it was already rare for him to react so quickly.
However, as the only high-level Apostle in the arena, since he had made his move, there was no reason for him to return empty-handed. Wolf smiled as he opened his fingers and grabbed Huo Biao’s APB force field shield. His fingers were like the sharp claws of an eagle, directly tearing apart the mirror surface of the APB force field and brutally piercing through the metal shield made of composite material.
“Huh?” Wolf suddenly frowned. At the same time he tore apart the APB force field, his finger was also injured. It was as if he was not holding a shield, but a cactus.
“Hehe, don’t you feel bad! Even if you’re a high-grade Apostle, you shouldn’t have directly caught an MT shield!” Huo Biao’s gloating voice came from afar.
As a Tier 2 MT, Huo Biao’s ability was naturally stronger than Frank’s. He could attach attack power to the shield, but accordingly, the shield’s texture needed to be a bit weaker. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be easy to enchant. This was why he didn’t apply to Frank’s [Qiongqi] bone shield back then.
“Haha, you’re really good!” Wolf didn’t care about the ridicule of his opponent. He glanced at Huo Biao with admiration and casually threw away a broken arm in his hand. “Just how many more times can you escape just by self-mutilation?”
Huo Biao’s expression darkened. At this moment, his soldier only had one arm left. He pulled out his MRI knife not to attack Wolf, but to cut off the mecha arm that he had been grabbed.
“No need!” Huo Biao’s eyes lit up and he suddenly raised the Particle Rail Cannon with a sinister smile and pointed it at Wolf.
A blazing beam of particles flashed past but failed to hit Wolf. The moment the beam of light shone at the muzzle of the cannon, Wolf had already made a dodge. As a high-grade Apostle with strong mental energy, unless he could not dodge, this kind of shooting could not injure him.
However, just as Wolf was dodging, his gaze narrowed. He clasped his hand in a ring and his body suddenly stopped like a puppet.
“Ding!” At Wolf’s original location, two streams of metal melt seemed to possess their own lives, one on the left and one on the right. His afterimage quietly dissipated amidst the sparks, leaving only two dazzling tracks in the starry sky.
On the other side, the four “ice-cold storms” surrounding Qin Lun shot out countless streams of metal in all directions. The horn on his head trembled, and his right hand flicked as he thrust a silver knight’s spear into the air.
Suddenly, a black vortex the size of a bowl appeared at the tip of the silver spear. It was just the right size to resist the spear. Wolf’s body trembled slightly and he appeared from the void.
“Death Spear?” Wolf smiled and glanced at the silver spear.
“Life for life. Even if you win, half of you will die!” Qin Lun expressionlessly said, “I’ll give you a chance to board the ship and defeat me alone!”
“You shouldn’t be a high-level Apostle, yet you’re so confident?” Wolf narrowed his eyes and smiled faintly.
“My strength is inferior to yours. I will naturally choose the place to fight one on one. Just stay there!” Qin Lun sneered and pointed at the void.
Wolf looked in that direction and his pupils constricted. The smile on his face quickly disappeared. The place Qin Lun was referring to was the cosmic octopus they had just left!
