Legend of the Supreme Soldier Chapter 521

Of course Duo Ka would not let it go so easily . In fact, he was curious of the giant in armor . Another concern he had was, if the giant was really from within Darkniss, it would spell trouble for all of them . Could it be that something terrible happened in Darkniss?

The problem was a crucial one, for him and for the City of Yedda . Yedda was at the edge of Dual Forest . If the creatures residing in the mysterious Darkniss could cross the Dessert and Mist and enter Dual Forest, it would be a disaster to all of humanity . Besides, Yedda would be the first in line . These creatures that only Level 8 shooters could handle would surely bring about devastation . Would there be a bloody massacre? Or would humanity itself go extinct?

The answers all lie within this giant .

Duo Ka turned his fighter and dived into the forest in pursuit .

An excellent shooter would not lose their target easily . They would rely on their parapsychic sense to locate their prey, and not their eyes . Parapsychic sense was harder to fool .

The sudden twist in events led to puzzlement amongst the onlookers .

Ye Chong stared at the ground that grew larger and larger in view . Celest was too fast, almost at its maximum speed . Any carelessness on his part would have heavy consequences .

Ye Chong placed his fingers lightly on the console . His breathing was short, not out of nervousness, but because the evasion techniques earlier had drained a lot from him . However, Ye Chong did not have time to regulate his breathing now . This was truly a terrible situation for him! He had never encountered such a suffocating round of assault . The lasers never stopped coming, and they were all on mark . Ye Chong could not imagine what it would take to fire so quickly and at such high accuracy . Once, he had thought that only Mu and Shang could do it . Now, he could only marvel at the talents found in this world . In the end, he had to give his all just to keep himself from being shot . He had succumbed into a semi-conscious and half-crazed state, and his hands had moved that much faster .

Now, his mind was concentrating only on the forest . There was no room for further consideration . The blue aircraft had followed him closely from behind .

Ye Chong stopped breathing abruptly . His eyes gleamed as his hands danced across the controls in a blur .

Celest stretched its limbs out midair, bending them slightly as it continued to crash downwards . The mech was about to hit the ground . Duo Ka was anxious . Any aircraft that went shooting down at this speed would definitely be reduced to useless debris . Could it be that this giant be able to withstand the impact?

Just as Dou Ka felt concerned, the giant suddenly slowed down in its trajectory in a seemingly physics defying instant . It was now on level with the treetops . The giant pushed its hands and feet against the branches and extended them again like unwinding springs . It was using the trees to slow down its descent .

Creak crack creak!

The branches gave way as Celest crashed into a tree with a girth that went a few meters across, bringing the tree down with it . The huge tree crashed into the ground, kicking up soil and dust into the air . Seen from above, the giant had seemingly vanished into the dense forest under the cover of dust .

"Do you think you can get away so easily?" Duo Ka thought to himself with a cold smile .

The dense forest was Heaven for a close range mech like Celest . Celest landed its feet heavily into the soft ground and continued pushing forward, making use of the momentum from its descent . Its body tilted, its left leg extended out straight, and its right leg bent into an arch . The left leg traced a long gash into the earth like a plough .

Finally, a chance to catch his breath . Ye Chong panted heavily . Once he entered the forest, the complicated terrain would be disadvantageous to long range combatants . The branches that crisscrossed irregularly everywhere would make it difficult to aim . If they were to fight in the air in the forest, the canopy leaves would prevent light from entering their battleground .

Suddenly, a blue laser beam shot through the leaves and right through Celest's thigh!

How was that possible? Ye Chong's chest tightened . He immediately made Celest dash forward . Ye Chong felt the threat behind him growing stronger and stronger . Cold sweat ran down his back . He could almost smell death itself . It was too long ago since he had a similar feeling!

The opponent pressured him constantly, suffocating him . So far, he had reacted passively without returning an attack even once .

The terrain had not affected his opponent one bit! Ye Chong felt his calmness slowly gave way . However, he knew that he should not slow down now . If he did, the next blue laser beam might just shot through Celest's throat .

…

In fact, the forest did hinder Duo Ka . The shooter shook his head in dissatisfaction . The complicated terrain made it harder for him to shoot . He had aimed at the giant's throat, but shot its thigh instead . Nevertheless, a shooter will have to be at least above Level 5 to be combat effective in the forest . Lesser shooters would be more severely affected .

Without a fighter aircraft, fighting against a creature as strong as this giant would be suicidal . The difference strength would be too great . If the first shot missed, the consequences would be deadly .

The forest was not suitable for flight . Besides, the giant had shown how agile it could be . Duo Ke thought it was terrifying that the giant could move so quickly despite its bulky size, even faster than a fighter aircraft .

There was no other option for him . Duo Ka flew his fighter close to the ground, waiting for the right time to attack . As long as he kept close to his target, there will be plenty of opportunities .

…

Stay calm! Stay calm! Ye Chong reminded him repeatedly .

He forced himself to slow down his breathing . It worked . As his breathing slowed down, his mind became calmer . Throughout the whole exercise, his hands never slowed down .

There must a way! Ye Chong told himself . As long as he was calm, he would figure it out .

His rich battle experience allowed him to stay in control despite the imminent threat . His gaze turned clearer .

What was his opponent's strength? Astonishing shooting accuracy and frequency, unhindered by the environment .

But that did not sound right . Ye Chong recalled then something that Huang Baiyi once told him . A mentalist was best suited for a flat and open battleground, since the open space allowed the mentalist to spread his senses further . If that was the case, this forest should be effective against mentalists .

However, why was the shooter able to hit him? The shooter must have very strong parapsychic sense!

Ye Chong realized suddenly that the shooter had hit Celest's thigh . Back when they were fighting in the open, the shooter had always aimed for vulnerable spots such as the throat . Now, it was the thigh that was hit! Ye Chong concluded then that the forest was making things difficult for the shooter .

Having arrived at this conclusion, Ye Chong felt encouraged . His eyes gleamed brighter, and his mind began to race through possibilities .

…

Duo Ka frowned again . That the giant was able to move easily through the foliage came as no surprise . What made him frown was the fact that it appeared to be experienced in fighting in the forest, taking cover behind the tree branches . Duo Ka could sense the general location of the giant, but it was not enough for him to shoot accurately . Besides, he could not understand how the giant's movements were not affected by the wound on its thigh . Once again, he marvelled at the strength of this creature!

Since accurate shots were out of the picture, Duo Ka decided to try a different strategy .

Wide coverage high explosive grenade attack!

…

Celest's holographic scanning system was highly advanced . This was not something Ye Chong got to enjoy every day . Aside from Mu and Shang, the best holographic scanning system he had ever used was Moon King's . However, Moon King was still slightly inferior compared to the best mechs .

Celest was the culmination of the Research Consortium's best research works, which included its holographic scanning system . It was as good as the holographic scanning systems of the Three Aces from the Three Aristocratic Families, and the result of three decades of research by the Consortium .

This allowed Ye Chong to observe the blue fighter's trajectory clearly .

Suddenly, hundreds of grenades rained down on him .

Ye Chong had a taste of the grenade earlier . They were highly explosive . Celest's diamond shaped shield had been blasted into pieces from just one of them .

However, if it was not a direct hit, Celest would probably remain intact .

With his calmness restored, Ye Chong was now a formidable opponent . He did not panic, His hands moved even faster, but steadier .

As the grenades came down, Celest demonstrated its impeccable evasion techniques once again .

Boom boom boom boom!

The explosions never stopped . Where the giant had been moments ago was now a wreck of blown branches and leaves .

Old Wei watched from afar, and thought the situation odd . He had only met Duo Ka a few times, but the man he knew was not one to kill without mercy .

"Strange," their captain, Re Guming sent the message to his group members . He too noticed that something was not right .

Duo Ka never liked to use the high explosive grenades, since they were low accuracy weapons suitable only for wider coverage . Shooters who strived for accuracy never liked imprecise weapons like these .

Now that Duo Ka had used his high explosive grenades, what could it possibly mean?

It meant that Duo Ka was ready to do anything necessary to kill the giant . Why was that, though? Could there be a story behind this? Re Guming and Old Wei both considered the situation . The other shooters who were watching had also realized something was amiss .

Duo Ka noticed that the giant had left his first attack range, and immediately shot out another round of grenades .

With one giant fleeing in front and a fighter attacking without reserve from the back, the forest was quickly marked with a long trip of burnt clearing, about 500 meters wide and over seven kilometres long . All the trees in the clearing were burnt to a crisp, and the ground was marred with holes . Such a violent and nonsensical attack left the onlookers confused .

Had Duo Ka gone mad?

Ye Chong piloted Celest through the shower of grenades, slippery as a fish . The attack did not leave any significant damage, only coating Celest with ash .

Ye Chong did not understand why the shooter was so keen on destroying him, but he was now thinking of how to get rid of the shooter .

So far, he had not figured out a way to overcome the shooter's precise aim .

What was the shooter's weakness? The fighter, of course! In fact, while the shooter had given Ye Chong a hard time, the shooter's fighter was the only thing that made him so powerful against Celest .

The aircrafit was fast, flying at around Mach 22 to Mach 25 by Ye Chong's estimate, and much faster than Ban Meng's Wood Kite . It was obviously something top of the line . To reach this speed within the atmosphere was extraordinary . Even Celest could only reach up to Mach 30, and that was in outer space . Here within the atmosphere, air friction reduced that maximum speed to about Mach 28 . Ye Chong was surprised by the fact that this primitive aircraft packed so much power in it .

Nevertheless, the aircraft's speed could not overcome a weakness of its primitive structure –aircrafts were simply not a very flexible transport . Even compared with average mech models, aircrafts would be found wanting . They were only suitable for flight within the atmosphere . They obeyed aerodynamic laws, and had only one engine at the tail of the aircraft . Every change in direction had to be achieved with a curved trajectory . Turning around required the aircraft to make a U-turn . The faster the turn, the larger the U-turn must be . These aircrafts could not change directions instantly like mechs can . Since the shooter's parapsychic sense had a limited range, this provided Ye Chong with an opportunity .

If he could make use of this opportunity well, he would be able to escape the opponent's pursuit .

Celest suddenly stepped on a thick branch and fell backwards . As the mech's body became parallel to the ground, its legs pushed strongly and its engines blasted at maximum power . The giant launched backwards like a cannonball .

Ye Chong could see the blue aircraft grazed closely past him from above .

The giant's abrupt move backwards left Duo Ka unprepared . He quickly changed his fighter's trajectory, but he had a feeling that his efforts would not be enough .

He was now beyond shocked by the giant's behavior . He never thought the creature would have such intelligence, to recognize his weakness in such a short time and figure out a countermove . What a scary being!

If this giant was really from Darkniss, then the creatures that resided in that place must be terrifying . Duo Ke felt a chill down his spine .

There was no room for his pride or dignity now . He chose the safest option - ask for help!
