A sonic boom descended from above. The energy beam that had crushed the last shred of hope collided with the technological shield in a burst of dazzling white light.
The outcome that had seemed destined for tonight, at the final moment no one had expected,
was reversed!
The energy aftershock stirred up a blinding turbulence. Then the light faded and night returned. No negotiations, no standoff, no unnecessary waste of time.
Before the shock could fade from Deni and Aineson's faces,
a figure clad in pitch-black single-wing armor shot out from the exploding light with a piercing rush of air, its body drawing back like a bow as its mechanical gauntlet slammed forward!
!?!??!------!
There was no time for thought! Amid the hum of flight, Deni only saw the mechanical mask covering the upper half of the opponent's face. The reflexes of a Mid B-rank participant made him instantly deploy a technological shield!
Who was he!??
Feeling the immense impact amplified by the high-speed charge, Deni's eyes widened at the thought. With a heavy crash against the shield, he was sent flying backward.
Reacting in an instant, Aineson leaped back, his gaze turning sharp as he raised a faintly blue laser hand cannon and fired at maximum power!
But ripples spread before the beam could hit, briefly revealing an invisible shield.
The next second, Aineson saw the thrusters behind the opponent's right leg armor ignite. Almost the instant he crossed his arms before himself, a spinning kick that looked capable of snapping a concrete pillar came flying at him!
Bang----Boom!
Activating his armor at the last possible moment before smashing through the wall, Aineson barely avoided being directly injured by the blow!
At that moment, they all sensed an unknown force arriving on the battlefield.
