Chapter 1244: Silver Wind
The green glow emitted by the Darkness Sky Tactical Armor and several Darkness Sky units stood out starkly against the darkened night sky. Like meteors, they plunged directly from space to Earth, descending straight onto the South American Base. It was impossible not to notice them.
At the same time Xiao Ran noticed the situation at the South American Base, the strange quadrupedal drones there leaped high into the air, transforming one after another into the MS Form seen in space. Gripping S-shaped weapons, they raised their right arms and fired streams of purple beams toward the Darkness Sky Tactical Armor.
So far, these drones had displayed three forms. The first was the diamond-shaped form used for deployment, resembling a shield. Then there was the MS Form used in space, agile in movement, with crystal-like objects on their left arms capable of launching Beam Attacks. The third was the quadrupedal form, which adapted well to ground combat and possessed considerable firepower once deployed in numbers.
In terms of attack methods, beam weaponry alone had two different modes. The first was like ordinary beam fire, though its power was somewhat greater than the Standard Beam Rifles equipped by typical C-class mecha. The second was a ray mode, firing a long laser beam to sweep across targets like an extended Beam Saber, though it could only be maintained for less than two seconds.
According to the information Xiao Ran obtained through scouting, these units called Resters had surprisingly reached B- rank.

Their ability to freely shift between three forms was quite practical, but in terms of speed, they were far, far inferior to the GHOST-V9 drones currently used by the Burning
