Who Dares Take It

Mu Fan looked up and met Shura's bloodshot eyes, which were also filled with the same gaze.

The mecha's eyes held a chilling crimson light, Mu Fan's eyes were a surging, turbulent crimson!

"... Aga... Shura."

Mu Fan murmured.

Because his chest was burning hot.

That was the jet-black metal plaque.

The sign with the word "Fan" engraved on it is constantly releasing an astonishing amount of heat.

Mu Fan reached out and grasped it.

As he grasped it, the mech's right hand slowly opened and rested in front of it.

This time, Mu Fan was fully conscious and did not hesitate. He took a step forward and stepped into the broken gauntlet.

The five fingers of his right hand are covered with crisscrossing scars.

The marks left by the passage of time instantly revealed to Mu Fan a martial artist who had walked through mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

The docking bay on the mech's chest popped out, Mu Fan stepped inside.

Black metal hoses flew all around and appeared densely in front of Mu Fan, leaving only one empty area, which was the central position!

"Friends... I'm here!"

Without any hesitation, Mu Fan stepped in.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!" More than thirty metal hoses simultaneously ejected spikes, which then pierced Mu Fan's entire body from various directions.

There were even two puncture wounds that went straight to the back of the head.

With a whoosh, Mu Fan closed his eyes, and the entire cockpit lit up with a blood-red eerie light.

Then, in front of that restless herd of beasts.

The mecha slowly rose to its feet.

His eyes blazed with a blood-red light, burning like fire!

Mu Fan felt a surge of boundless power throughout his body.

The somber words resurfaced in my mind once more:

"Mech Aga Asura, consciousness awakened... Bloodline information database successfully connected, mech energy remaining 3.8%, can maintain S-level (extremely high) intensity combat... 1 hour."

A deep crimson hue enveloped my vision, and a flood of information began to rush into my mind.

This voice that emerges from the mind is different from black; it has a sense of intimacy that comes from the blood.

It turns out that Shura is actually a mecha with intelligent consciousness.

No, its current name is... Aga Asura!

This time, it said it itself.

Energy remaining... 3.8%, S-class combat time... 1 hour!?

"That's enough!"

Mu Fan coldly uttered two words.

A strange skill flashed through my mind amidst the information stream connected to Shura.

The mech, with its jet-black body and dark red armor, and almost no intact parts, slowly turned around.

He held his sheathed longsword horizontally in front of him.

A blood-red cloak fluttered behind him.

The beasts over there were pawing restlessly, and the Great King Land Squid seemed to be enraged, raising its four tentacles, which it had already lowered, once again.

Standing a hundred meters high in the air, it is ferocious and terrifying.

But Mu Fan gently extended his right hand and grasped the hilt of the long sword.

Slowly release your left hand.

"The Three Realms... Blood Hell Blade... So... that's your name."

A string of unfamiliar words flowed through my mind.

Hell Realm...

The human world...

The other shore...

Slowly rub two fingers of your left hand along the handle towards the blade.

A bloodthirsty killing intent seemed to rise from his very bones, as if it were his very nature.

At this moment, the external Asura Mecha slowly wiped the alloy sheath of the Blood Hell Blade with its metal palm. As its fingers made contact with the alloy sheath, a flame began to ignite on the sheath along with its fingertips.

A deep voice suddenly rose from inside the mecha.

"Asura Horizontal Blade".

What started as a sudden, sporadic spark transformed into a raging, blood-red flame after the Asura Mecha slid its left hand across the flame, the intense heat causing the surrounding air to distort.

As Shura's sliding left hand finally fell from the scabbard, the longsword, which was already completely burning, suddenly burst into flames at that moment.

A strange crimson light spread from his right hand, as if some energy within the scabbard resonated with it.

The low, somber tone abruptly shifted to a declaration brimming with fierce killing intent:

"Who dares to take it!"

Boom!

The crimson Blade Light instantly surged and burned, spreading hundreds of meters along the scabbard in that instant!

A scorching, melting dividing line suddenly appeared on the ground.

He raised the Blood Hell Blade high in his hand, slashed it over his head, and slowly brought it to a stop behind him.

A hundred-meter-long Blade Light swept across the building on the right.

A black cutting line appeared, and the building slid down along this line with a crash.

Asura bent down, his cloak billowing high behind him, and four dazzling red beams of light suddenly shot out.

Kill!

Watching the herd of beasts begin to surge forward again.

Mu Fan stomped his feet heavily on the ground!

The afterimage disappeared from the spot...

Everything happened in just ten seconds.

At that moment, both groups of people noticed the strange phenomenon.

Military headquarters.

Alexei has just ordered a switch to the surveillance footage of the Great King Land Squid.

This image was transmitted from a satellite in space.

Damn it, why is the switching so slow!

The cursing Alexei had no idea that this transmission delay was deliberately caused by an intelligent life form far ahead of its time.

So when the image lit up on the central screen, everyone happened to see the black mecha standing quietly with its sword drawn.

"The Beast Tide on the other side has actually stopped!?"

All the officers were horrified to see that the Beast Tide had actually stopped.

And it was even nervously digging around?

The Great King Land Squid's advance suddenly stalled!

Incredible!

Unbelievable!

What surprised the officers even more was that the mech that had just been above C District had suddenly appeared in A District in the blink of an eye.

Alexei muttered to himself, "What kind of mech is this?"

The staff officer immediately ordered, "Calculate the speed! Estimate the engine power!"

"Yes, sir!"

Then a trembling voice reported, almost swallowing hard. "Report... Sir, according to calculations, that mech's average speed is Mach 31, and its peak speed could very well exceed Mach 35! This power is completely outside the Federation's mech engine database; a mech simply cannot reach that speed within the atmosphere!!"

Neither enemy nor friend!

What exactly is this mech trying to do?!

The next second, everyone in the military knew what the mech was up to.

Because they saw the crimson Blade Light that stretched for hundreds of meters from the hilt of the sword.

The Minister of the General Armaments Department of the Zicui Star Army had a mouth so big that a goose egg could fit inside.

"That's impossible!"

The Vice Minister, who was a researcher, wanted to say something like "Nothing is impossible," but then kept quiet.

The fact that it can concentrate energy into such a long shape indicates that the material of that knife—no, that scabbard—must be very special.

It's probably more symbolic than practical.

But then the Vice Minister shut his mouth and stopped talking.

Because he saw the mech raise its long sword and pull it back.

The long, blood-red Blade Light of light also moved accordingly.

Then all the buildings to the right of the mech collapsed...

The Vice Minister swallowed hard.

Seeing this, he instinctively felt that the Mecha Unit of the Third Division that had not yet arrived at Area B didn't need to come.

"It charged."

Alexei suddenly uttered three words.

This drew everyone's attention back as the engines on the back of the machine suddenly glowed red before disappearing from the spot.

The Vice Minister felt powerless once again; if he saw this mech too much, he would be tempted to take a knife and kill the minister.

What the hell kind of mechs have you procured for the military?!
