Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 573 Luo Gandao's Triple Strike

Volvalsky 40 launched missiles from both hands simultaneously, intercepting only a few attacks with tracking capabilities while the rest struck the fighter jet. Logandao, however, possessed a keen combat instinct in this regard. He knew that with these relatively mediocre missiles, directly damaging enemy mechs wouldn't be easy, so he used them to intercept enemy attacks.

However, even with a protective force field activated, a missile of standard mech standard hitting a fighter jet will not be a pleasant experience.

"It's still too difficult to replenish high-grade ammunition... I can only use the few rounds I was given when the opportunity arises," Logan said to himself.

Soaring into the sky, piloting the mech amidst the roar of gunfire and the scraping of steel gave him a new sensation. In Logan's perception, the howling wind seemed to be blowing directly on him, but instead of pain, it brought a thrill. He sent three fighter jets swerving, one of them even veering towards Alexander's direction with its protective force field activated. Just as it was recharging, Alexander's mech casually tore it apart.

Seeing that the effect was quite good, Luo Gandao twisted his mech to dodge another mech that was swooping down from above. Then, Luo Gandao flicked his hands, and a pair of steel shields appeared on the mech's arms. They were now vibrating at a frequency imperceptible to the human eye, and were hand shields with high-frequency cutting capabilities.

The mech that missed its target seemed somewhat wary, quickly regaining its footing and creating distance as Luo Gandao swung his shield. While doing so, it also had time to fire a homing missile towards Mu Xiang, hoping to put some pressure on the ferocious melee mech above.

“No, he must know the function of this shield…” Luo Gandao frowned. The fact that he dodged so quickly meant he knew how powerful this high-frequency hand shield was. “How did he know? Could our gladiatorial recordings have been leaked?!”

This is actually a test, a test of Luo Gandao's ability to handle a real crisis... Mu Xiang and the others already have considerable faith in his abilities (especially in mechas). In fact, it can be said that the Zhongzhou team has never lacked capable people; the key is whether Luo Gandao can play his due role.

Sending Luo Gandao, who just joined the Central Continent Team, to fight the final boss is obviously nonsense, but for someone like him who has shown talent, fighting a few enemies who are also piloting mechs in this world is definitely not a difficult task.

So aside from his existing abilities, Logandao was starting from scratch in this battle. He hadn't yet realized it was due to the referee committee, but that wasn't something he needed to worry about anyway... He just needed to eliminate the enemy in front of him.

This is what Mu Xiang needs him to do most, and it's also what Luo Gandao has decided to do at this moment.

A rusted bullet grazed the shoulder of the Vowalski 40, but missed. Logando, who had been accelerating upwards, suddenly deactivated his foot propulsion, rendering the enemy's carefully planned long-range and close-range attacks completely ineffective. Seeing a pair of steel blades swing from the enemy mech's arm, slicing through air like giant scissors, Logando couldn't help but laugh.

“Well, your combat awareness doesn’t seem quite up to par either… Besides, how can you use rust-corrosion bombs here? At high altitudes and low temperatures, rust-corrosion bombs won’t be effective in theory without the catalytic bombs, right?” Logando took a deep breath and swung his shield to knock away the opponent’s steel blade. “And in this kind of high-speed aerial combat, an enemy that lets you finish this off so easily doesn’t seem to need to use this tactic…”

He was actually quite nervous, even though he'd forgotten this was the first bloody battle. But Logando had a way to stay calm. Like racing on a complex, unfamiliar track, Logando would talk to himself about simple theories, as if doing so would suppress his tense and restless mind. "You're far inferior to Alexander!" Logando chuckled, his steel shield snapping shut, maintaining a high-frequency state as it sliced ​​off the enemy mech's right hand. Although the opponent only revealed this weakness for a fleeting moment, it was enough for Logando.

A loud, boisterous laugh came through the communication channel: "Who's praising me?" The next moment, two pieces of the mech's remains fell from above, burning brightly, grazing past Logandao. It seems that for Alexander, this kind of unrestricted gladiatorial combat is quite a treat... Before this, he could only engage in such brutal sparring with AI-controlled or remotely piloted mechs; and the skill level of those sparring partners was not enough to satisfy Alexander.

What? You're saying I can spar with Mu Xiang and the others?
The problem is, we can't beat them!
Luo Gandao thought to himself, "Why are you so happy?" Just then, a system alarm blared, and a dark shadow flashed past his eyes. He squeaked like a startled hen, swung his arms, and sent the shadow flying with two steel shields. Only then did Luo Gandao see what the shadow was on the virtual screen.

It was an extremely long crossbow bolt, at least twenty meters long. Judging from the sharp arrowhead and the lines on the shaft, it seemed to be the kind of high-powered electric crossbow bolt that Luo Gandao had seen in his research. It used the acceleration inside the mech to shoot out at high speed from behind. Because of its flexible angle, difficulty in detection, and high lethality, it had even become a banned weapon.

Even if the shot isn't perfectly accurate, if it hits the mech, it can instantly destroy the mech's control system with a powerful electric current... As for hitting it perfectly?

If the shot hits the target, the enemy pilot and the cockpit will be shattered together, indistinguishable, and whether or not there's power won't matter...

"Damn it!" Luo Gandao couldn't help but curse. He wasn't surprised that the other side had used such a vicious weapon, but rather that he had actually blocked it. Although the mech's arms had shaken briefly from the powerful impact, and the two steel shields were trembling violently, and the feedback from the mech had made Luo Gandao's arms go numb... he had actually blocked it?
"What's the principle behind this?" Luo Gandao muttered, then spurred his mech forward to counterattack. He knew that a mech could only carry one high-powered crossbow bolt, and the opponent probably didn't have any strange equipment left. And now, that mech had lost its right hand and suffered numerous minor injuries, making it no match for him.

Just then, the mech raised its hand again, and a chaff launcher burst forth. But this time, it wasn't aimed at Luo Gandao; instead, it blasted towards Mu Xiang above. Before Luo Gandao could even understand what was happening, he felt his heart tighten. By the time he came to his senses, he had already pulled his mech away… while his opponent's mech exploded with a deafening roar!
"Holy crap, madman!" Luo Gandao was shocked, only then realizing that cold sweat was pouring down his back... What was going on? Although Luo Gandao had considerable experience including training, he never expected the other party to do this.

However... Mu Xiang should have more than enough time to dodge this jamming missile, right?

The next moment, Mu Xiang's mecha seemed to lose all power and plummeted towards the sea below.

"My grass!"
