I rely on myself

Chapter 509 Huge Gap

On the barren plain, two huge aircraft were facing each other.

Among them, the green Graze was the first to speak: "Gjallarhorn Mars Branch Field Combat Force, Kronk Chant!"

"Eh? Ah..."

On the other hand, Mikazuki felt a little uncomfortable with this kind of pre-war announcement of his name, and was unable to react for a moment, but then he spoke.

"CGS Third Team, Mikazuki Augus!"

After announcing their names, both sides piloted their machines and made preparations for attack.

Following Kronk's shout of "engage", both sides immediately stepped on the accelerator, and white flames spurted out from the thruster nozzles. Under the huge propulsion force, the two behemoths burst out at an astonishing speed and rushed towards each other.

Neither side had any intention of backing down, and they raised their weapons and hit each other hard.

"Qiang!!!"

Accompanied by a loud metallic collision sound, under the violent impact, the atmosphere instantly turned into air waves that rushed towards the surroundings, blowing everything away.

The duel that concerns the future of Olga and others officially begins at this moment!
They retreated as soon as the blow came. Neither side thought that the outcome would be decided with just one strike. Both sides took advantage of the recoil of the blow to retreat slightly.

With the help of the Alaya-vijnana's rapid reaction, Mikazuki adjusted his posture first and launched an attack again.

The huge and heavy hammer spear was easily wielded in Barbatos's hand, as if it had no weight, but with just a little observation, one could discover the violent airflow and the sharp sound of breaking through the air caused by the hammer spear being swung.

Kronk had anticipated the hammer spear that was swinging towards him with a sound of breaking through the air. After all, he had already witnessed the opponent's abnormal reaction speed in that fight, so he did not rush to attack it, but raised the shield of his other arm to block in front of him.

"Qiang!"

There was an extremely loud metallic knocking sound. Although Gretz took a step back due to the heavy blow, he finally took the blow. But it was not over yet.

Seeing that the attack was blocked by the opponent, Mikazuki immediately controlled Barbatos to quickly retract the hammer spear, and swung it again, but it was finally blocked by the opponent's shield.

On Kronk's side, after taking two attacks, he also launched a counterattack without showing any weakness.

Taking advantage of the gap when Mikazuki just finished his attack, he swung the battle axe in his hand heavily.

Seeing this, Sanriku used the length of his weapon to block the battle axe with the hammer in his hand, and then swung it again.

Seeing this, Kronk quickly controlled Graz to retreat and avoid the blow.

"Uh……"

An extremely heavy pressure was placed on Kronk's shoulders. He had originally prepared himself for this duel to be very difficult, but the result was still far beyond his imagination.

In the previous battle, he already knew that the opponent was very strong, but when he fought one-on-one again now, he felt it even more deeply.

It was not a gap in strength, speed, or machine performance, but a gap closer to the essence, a gap between "pilots". Although he and his opponent were fighting back and forth, for some reason, Kronk had a feeling that his opponent was not fully serious yet, as if he was just warming up.

Kronk once doubted whether he was overthinking this idea, but this feeling could not be shaken off and kept lingering in his heart.

"Why do I feel this way?"

Unlike Kronk who was under tremendous pressure, Mikazuki seemed to be at ease and didn't even sweat a drop.

If someone saw the situation inside the Barbatos' cockpit at this time, they would be shocked.

Because at this time Mikazuki did not make any operating movements, neither the joystick in his hand nor the accelerator under his feet moved at all, but in contrast, Barbatos made swift and smooth attacks, defenses, and avoidances.

It is completely inconceivable that Mikazuki did not make any maneuvering movements at this moment.

The reason for this is very simple, which is the adjustment made by Lin Yuan today. In addition to reducing the burden of Alaya consciousness on the driver, the newly added program also has the function of directly conveying the driver's own consciousness to the body.

That is to say, to control Barbatos, Mikazuki does not need to make any movements. With just a thought, he can control the body and perform various actions as if he were using his own hands and feet.

Because of this, Kronk felt extremely heavy pressure. Perhaps he himself had not realized it, but he had already felt that no matter what actions he took, the other party would be able to react more quickly even though he was a step slower.

It was because he felt this that Kronk felt extremely stressed in this seemingly evenly matched battle.

As for Mikazuki, after the recent confrontation, he was very satisfied with the effect of the new function.

Although the new program installed by Lin Yuan gave him a big surprise during the previous test, it had not yet been put into actual combat. Now that it has been tested, the effect is as practical as in the previous test, and Sanrizuki is also very surprised.

Now that the testing of the new function has been completed, Mikazuki has turned his full attention back to the battle.

While continuing to fight with ease, Mikazuki suddenly said, "Hey! How do we determine the winner? Is it enough for one of us to die?"

"That's not necessary! Connor... No, we only wanted Gudelia's life. There's no need for a child to be sacrificed because of a dispute between adults!"

When Kronk said this, his tone was very excited, which showed that he was serious about this. However, when Mikazuki heard this, his expression suddenly became a little ugly.

"I've already killed so many of them... Never mind, it's not important! Olga has already told me that she's going to get rid of you anyway!!"

As if to prove his words, Barbatos suddenly exploded. His huge body was as flexible as a real human body. The hammer spear in his hand spun around and instantly launched three consecutive attacks at Graz.

Faced with such a sudden outburst, Kronk had no time to figure out what was going on and quickly manipulated the shield to block in front of him.

However, accompanied by three metallic knocking sounds, Graze was directly knocked back a distance, and electric arc sparks continued to flash on the body of the machine.

Obviously, although the attack was blocked, the impact still caused some damage to the machine itself.

Looking at the damage to the machine, Kronk was dumbfounded and couldn't help muttering to himself: "...Is this really a child?"
