My Name-Shura!
"Unknown mech detected in Meteorite Crash Zone!" The Vice Chief, who was inside the Thunder Slash mech, heard the voice message coming from the channel and subconsciously looked at the area behind him on the radar, but nothing was displayed.
When scanning in other directions, it was still able to identify the military's mechs and mark them as red dots.
Huh? The Vice Chief controlled the Thunder Slash, activated the leg thrusters, and with a few bursts of speed, leaped to a rooftop. He saw the mech ten kilometers away, but it was only visible through an optical imaging device!
Looking down at the radar, there were still no markers!
The Vice Chief looked rather grim. Who could be this being that even the radar scans of the Warrior Grade mechs couldn't detect?
Everyone saw the dilapidated appearance of the dark mech through the battlefield monitors. This mech, which appeared out of nowhere from the meteorite impact zone, looked as if it had just crawled out of the battlefield ruins. There were no long-range guns mounted on it, nor any traces of its ranged weapons. The only weapon it held was a sheathed longsword in its right hand. Could this mech only have this one weapon?
"Who is that?" the major asked his adjutant.
The adjutant was somewhat surprised. "I don't know. There's no identification information, and... radar can't detect it at all!"
The space pirates on the near-ground escort ship looked at the mecha below in astonishment and asked, "What the hell is that?"
"Huh? The radar can't detect it!"
Everyone had noticed the mech's unusual behavior, but the dark mech remained motionless on the rooftop. Neither side was willing to commit to a decision regarding whether the mech was friend or foe.
The military clearly recognized the mech as not belonging to their side, and the space pirates also clearly recognized it as not belonging to their side. Since the mech made no further moves, neither side had opened fire.
The military was too busy to care about anything else; the space pirates had just lost fourteen Reapers and were already desperate, now focused on wiping out the military.
Mu Fan still felt like he was floating on one side. He could only share all the sensations of the current body. He could no longer perform the movements that he could control with his hands at the beginning.
His bloodshot vision had already spotted the two sides fighting in the distance. He wanted to call out to remind the body to go to No. 1 City Zone, but he sensed a fluctuation coming from there. The body's target seemed to be the back of that hillside, which seemed to be safer.
Why go there? Mu Fan couldn't understand, but he couldn't control it either. He could only watch helplessly as he bent his leg and jumped again. As his figure flashed by, his scarlet cloak billowed high in the air, drawing a red line!
Did that mech move?
That was fast!
Those watching the scene were astonished to see that the black mecha simply bent its leg slightly and transformed into a black shadow, appearing on another rooftop a hundred meters away.
The mech charged straight towards them. After the observers on both sides saw the black mech's several leaps and advances, they suddenly realized that it seemed the mech's target was indeed their location.
"Major, what should we do?" the adjutant asked.
The major gave a bitter smile, "What else can we do? Fight back against the space pirates with everything we have. Do we even have the strength to deal with that mech?"
"Vice Chief, what should we do?" The space pirates on the near-ground escort ship were also asking the Thunder Slash mech.
"Open fire if they come over!" With one variable after another, the Vice Chief was getting a little annoyed and angry.
The black mech appeared at the foot of the mountain in a few leaps, and then with another push, the mech leaped forward.
"The mech is here!"
"Concentrate fire and take them all down!" The pirate pilots, having received the order, dispatched six Reapers, their shoulder cannons glowing white as they fired several shells. Armor-Piercing Round and Magnetic Energy Round intertwined to form a white net that hurtled towards the black mech.
As Mu Fan was consciously watching himself move forward, a nerve in his brain suddenly twitched. Was this hostility?
Then the blood color intensified, and the entire field of vision began to change. Mu Fan felt his consciousness return to his body, but it was instantly suppressed by an unknown force, leaving him bewildered and lost in a state between dreaming and waking.
A fan-shaped barrage of twelve shells hurtled towards him. His brain was instantly flooded with information, and in this perilous dream, Mu Fan felt his arm muscles bulge with power!
In reality, the black mecha arm that was soaring through the air suddenly bulged, as if there were real muscles beneath the gauntlets. Then, its right hand flashed out, gripping a sheathed longsword horizontally, transforming into a blur of light and shadow.
Mu Fan could feel that he could easily deflect the incoming bullets one by one. In his mind, these incoming bullets were incredibly slow. So he reached out the tip of his scabbard and accurately touched the side of each bullet, deflecting the intertwined bullets to the side.
However, in reality, the black mech's arm flashed and then lowered again. The red afterimage only began to appear after the arm retracted. The twelve warheads disappeared a distance out of thin air and then appeared behind the black mech, exploding violently!
What?! The space pirates were completely stunned!
Even the military personnel were speechless. This mech was simply bizarre!
At the same time, a chill ran through everyone's hearts, because after the mech jumped down, it didn't move again, but instead raised its head and looked directly at the group of space pirates.
A blood-red light surged in his eyes! He adjusted his direction, bent his legs, and jumped!
A bloodthirsty light surged in Mu Fan's eyes. He seemed to be enraged by something, and a broken voice echoed in his ears, "... enemy... slay!!"
"Keep firing! Keep firing!" shouted the pirate pilots, urging them to destroy this monstrous mech.
Then four more Reapers joined the firing, and ten mechs unleashed twenty shoulder cannon shots!
Mu Fan had lost his composure. The voice came to his ears again, this time cold and devoid of any emotion.
"Asura... Decree!"
Then a familiar set of movements appeared in Mu Fan's mind, and his body moved involuntarily. His finger muscles opened up, and the hidden power seemed to explode in an instant!
The black mech leaped into the air, its left arm raised, palm facing inward, instantly producing ten blood-red light darts, which it then hurled out. The space pirates on the scene only saw a black afterimage flash before the ten beams of light scattered.
"Boom!" Almost simultaneously, a loud bang was heard—the sound of a shell being pierced and detonated in mid-air!
Then, with a series of "ding-ding-ding" sounds, the space pirates, controlling their mechs, looked down and discovered a wound with a flashing red dot on the body of each mech.
The black mecha landed lightly, stood up, its eyes bloodshot, and clenched its open hand tightly!
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" Ten Adventure Grade Reapers exploded simultaneously, illuminating a fiery spectacle that spanned half a mountain! One strike, all annihilated! Even the military and space pirate mechs ceased fire at the same time, and the battlefield fell into an eerie silence.
Upon witnessing this through the optical imaging system, the Vice Chief exclaimed in shock from the cockpit, "This is impossible!"
Who is it?! What kind of mecha is this?!
As the black mecha landed and stood upright, Mu Fan consciousness was hazy inside the cockpit, vaguely heard four words:
"... My name is—Shura!"
