SPACE 2. Descent!

Kurung! Kurung! Ku ku ku ku!

Purple clouds swirled in the skies of Impeltus.Incandescent lights and lightning strikes intermittently flashed through the sky and revealed 2 huge objects.It was the Asura and the Silver Star!Right now the tentacles had grabbed the Silver Star and 10 Rama warriors were falling from the Asura towards the Silver Star. An intense amount of bullets were pouring down as well!

Tu tu tu tu! Tu tu tu tu!

Everybody down! Sword Defense!

Ark rushed away from his team members and wielded his lightsaber.The blue light drew a complex pattern in the air as the bullets spread in different directions. A similar scene was occurring dozens of metres away.

The guy is the leader!

Huhuhu! Okay! Ill show those Rama the power of the M-620!

Tu tu tu tu! Tu tu tu tu! Tu tu tu tu!

Hedro and Kurakan started shooting their guns at the Red Slaughterers head.But like Ark, the Red Slaughterer swung his lightsaber and the bullets scattered all over the place.Sword Defense used the electromagnetic property of the lightsaber to change the trajectory of the bullets. Once again, the Red Slaughterer had been the originator of the skill and Ark learnt it from him.

Dont waste bullets!

Ark looked back at the team and shouted.There were 20 Rama warriors over the deck of the Silver Star including the Red Slaughterer. On the other hand, Arks team only had 8 people.Of course they werent ordinary soldiers. Slayer, Sadain and Kayas skills were first class while Kurakan had good equipment. Ellain was also an NPC with a higher level than Ark.

Even if were outnumbered, we wont be easily pushed

The opponents werent sloppy guys.The Rama warriors that descended were the Red Slaughterers personal troops, the Red Front!They were notorious on the battlefields in the Bellin constellation. If they numbered double Arks team than he couldnt guarantee the odds. No, he was certainly at a disadvantage.

First it was imperative to reduce the numbers!

Dont worry about the Red Slaughterer! Attack the other guys! Their bullets are limited at that range. So concentrate on hitting their parachutes!

The target changed to the Red Slaughterers henchman after Arks command.Of course, they werent waiting for the bullets politely either. They used the jet equipment on the parachutes to avoid the attacks and fired back. However soldiers firing from the top compared to those firing from the bottom. The result was obvious.

Ark!

Hyung-nim, Im coming out!

Leon and Kalliben escaped from the gun turrets.

Tutung! Tutung! Tu tu tu tu! Tu tu tu tu!

Once Leon and Kalliben started shooting, sparks flew from the parachutes of 5 Rama warriors. One person flew in the wrong direction and crashed into Impeltus mountains and exploded.The remaining Rama warriors who witnessed the death of their colleague cast away their flaming parachutes and jumped.

Now Ellain, Sadain!

Ark shot forward like a bullet.He flew towards the Rama warriors falling on the deck and wielded his sword!

Sonic Sword!

The Rama warriors were pushed back by the shock wave before they could regain their posture and was thrown off the deck.Ellain followed behind Ark and used the same skill to push them off the deck. Meanwhile Sadain didnt have any skills so he took more time but he also took care of a warrior.The deck was hundreds of metres in the air so there was no need to check the result once they were pushed out.

Those fellows are taken care of!

Ark spun around and looked at the deck.And not far away another Rama warrior was falling!Ark once again flew forward like a bullet. The moment he was dashing across the upper deck of the Silver Star!A red shape fell in front of him.

Snap! Chwajijijijijik!

Red sparks exploded!

Thats enough Ark! Im also here!

The sparks occurred from when he hit the red armour. It was the Ramas battle suit that felt no different from insect skin!He remembered that battle suit.Like the Asura, this red battle suit belonged to the Red Slaughterer! Ark looked at his determined expression and smiled.

Youre late. I got bored waiting so I killed several guys.

I liked those subordinates.

Im sorry.

There is no need to apologize.Youll be killed soon.

Who? Me? Thats impossible. I have no intention of dying.

You should do that.Its not worth killing you if you just die politely.

Im just asking out of curiosity but do you really not remember? Or are you pretending not to remember? Although it is different if youre made of electronic thoughts. Maybe if your memory keeps on being deleted than you wont remember to go after the ultimate goal anymore. Ill just continued beating you up until your memory flies away.

No, one experience was enough.Of course.

Tu tu tu tu! Tu tu tu tu!

Then bullets flew from both sides.The bullets flying from behind Ark were Kalliben and Leon aiming at the Red Slaughterer. The bullets shot from the other side were from the Red Front landing on the deck of the Silver Star. Both Ark and the Red Slaughterer moved.Flames rose from the two people!The Red Slaughterer moved back like he was sliding on ice.

..The result will be my victory! Detection!

Dont talk about a dream you cant fulfil! Sonic Sword!

Red and blue lights clashed in the air and exploded.Sparks flew up and fell to the deck. No, it was caught in the blast and scattered in all directions. It was the Red Slaughterer who caused the blast that blew across the deck!Ark rushed towards the Red Slaughterer from the opposite side.

Dragon Fury!

The red sword extended like a laser!The red light shot forward at the speed of light and cut through Arks neck. Arks body crumpled into fine pieces and scattered. Then 4 other Arks laughed.

Youve been standing still. If you want revenge then you should come up with some new techniques.

This is..alter ego?

Thats correct. Khafra Fencing 3rd style! Galaxy Sword!

The voice was heard from behind the Red Slaughterer! Dozens of blue swords surged like a tidal wave and rotated around the Red Slaughterers body. And the moment the wildly swirling swords were about to strike the body!

-This is impossible! Blood Sword!

Dozens of red lights floated above the Red Slaughterers head. The red lights changed into long points and flew towards the blue swords. It was the Red Slaughterers wide area attack Blood Sword!

Kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa!

Just like Galaxian Sword swirled like a typhoon, Blood Sword created dozens of red swords! There was a chain explosion as dozens of red and blue swords clashed and an electromagnetic storm occurred.Then a message popped up on the Nymphe!

The electromagnetic storm caused the Nymphe to malfunction.

Not yet! Youll need more power than that to take me down!

The Red Slaughterer roared while approaching.

Thats what I intend!

A low voice said from the other side of the electromagnetic storm.A warrior clad in armour appeared in the midst of the heavy smoke. This was Arks battle suit, the Hyper Drone.A pair of eyes shining from the sleek, streamlined helmet moved towards the Red Slaughterer.

I will remind you. Why you couldnt beat me.

-

This is..

It is impossible to aim.

Kurakan and Leon mumbled with stupid expressions.Their eyes were fixed to the centre of the deck where the Red Slaughterer was facing Ark.They called it a deck but the Silver Star was basically a long, cylindrical fuselage aircraft. The deck had a gentle slope while the outer walls curved like a pipe. Furthermore Kurakan had to clean the ship when it was docked at S-20 and there wasnt one day where he didnt slip.But the state of the deck didnt seem to affect Ark and the Red Slaughterer at all.

Snap! Kwajijiji! Pepeng! Pepeng! Kwa kwa kwa kwa!

The shine of the swords that clashed without any breaks! It was difficult to even see the two wielding the sword. The only way they could tell there was a sword encounter was the sparks flying.They couldnt support Ark at all.

There is no need to interrupt.

Then the gunner approached and said.

At that standard there is no meaning in having the support of their teammates. Any cover fire would instead be a disturbance. And were not in the position to be so leisurely. Those guys didnt come down to watch the fight.

The gunners eyes turned towards the soldiers gathered near them.The Red Front had managed to land thanks to the Red Slaughterer blocking Ark. They had cast off their parachutes and were moving forward in formation.

Youre not wrong but..

Slayer looked at the gunner with dissatisfied eyes.

How do we know youre not going to support the enemy? I dont know what Ark is thinking but I hate you! Your colleague in the black helmet killed Melina-nim!

I was just giving you advice before it becomes difficult here.

I dont like that attitude!

Slayer!

Then Leons voice was heard from behind.The Red Front passed the area where Ark and the Red Slaughterer were engaged in the centre of the deck. They didnt want to start a crude battle and accidentally damage the Red Slaughterer.But a wide space had formed on the opposite side of where they were fighting. At the same time, grenades started to fly to where Arks team was waiting.

There is nowhere to run away!

Ohh! Leave it to me! Iron Castle!

Slayer popped forward and lifted his shield.Slayer and Leon hadnt just been killing time until they met up with Ark again.They had also steadily adventured and raised their levels and skills. Slayer especially focused on defensive skills. He desperately needed defense skills because Melina was a healer.Thus the skill Iron Castle was born!When the skill was used, two shields were created. The 3 shields forming a line side-by-side had the same effects.

Bring on the grenades!

Pepeng! Pepeng! Pepeng!

The grenades collided with the shield and exploded.Slayer looked at the gunner and laughed.

How is it, my defense technique? The grenades..cough! What, what the? This smoke?

Smoke emerged from the grenades that collided with the shields.

This isnt a grenade! Smoke bombs!

S-smoke bombs? Dammit! These bastards..

Slayer, above you!

What? Eek?

Slayer lifted his eyes at those words but it was too late. Four small objects were flying in an arc over the shields!In fact, the most hated weapon of shield users were grenades. Unlike the bullets that flew straight, the grenades could fly in an arc so it was difficult to block with a shield.Therefore troopers or snipers normally stopped the enemy grenades before they were thrown. However the grenades had been blocked by the smoke bomb so Leon and Kalliben didnt notice. And just as the grenades were over the shields!

Tang-! Tang-! Tang-! Tang-!

4 shots rang out!At that moment, the 4 grenades exploded in the air at roughly the same time.

What, what the? The grenades flying in the air

Slayer stared with a puzzled expression. And behind him in the same posture as a western movie was the gunner holding a pistol!Slayer stared at the gunner holding the pistol before scratching his head with an embarrassed look.

Eh? T-thank you.

Dont pay attention to it. Im still not your colleague.

What? T-this bastard! I really hate you!

Slayer yelled angrily.But the gunner wasnt interested in Slayers affection (?). He just turned his head and shouted.

They used the smoke bombs so they will start the assault soon! The space is limited so we cant escape the scope of the smoke bombs! All troopers should turn on your infrared scopes, stay behind the tentacles and prepare for a shoot-out! Warriors like Slayer should get ready for combat!

I wont listen to your orders! And why do you want the troopers to prepare for a shoot-out? It doesnt add up!

You mean me?

The gunner turned and asked.Then a Rama warrior jumped through the smoke holding a dagger in both hands.The gunners hands moved like lightning.He moved the pistol from side to side and pulled the trigger. The 2 shots were so fast they seemed to be fired at the same time but the surprising thing was the accuracy.When the gunfire rang out, both of the Rama warriors wrists were hit and fresh blood splattered. He pierced through the wrists of the dagger wielding enemy without any errors. Then the pistol was rotated again and fired at the Rama warriors gaping chest.

Tatatatang!

It was like a machine gun was being launched!This was possible because of the pistols special nature.In general, automatic pistols had a defined firing rate. But the gunner used a manual revolver pistol. The manual pistols firing rate depended on the speed that the trigger was pulled.A manual pistol was inferior to the automatic pistol in many ways. But depending on the ability of the user, a firing rate similar to a machine gun could be achieved.

-Kuheok!

I feel more comfortable in close combat.

The gunner said as he quickly reloaded the pistol.The moment he aimed his muzzle at the stumbling Rama warrior! Another Rama warrior ran through the smoke screen and twisted a dagger. The gunner moved his upper body to avoid it and turned his muzzle.He followed up with successive gunshots.However the Rama moved to the side to avoid the bullets before lifting the machine gun in his left hand. The gunner made the pistol revolve and fired at the machine gun handle before pulling the trigger again.

Tang tang tang! Tu tu tu tu! Tang tang tang! Tu tu tu tu!

Dozens of shots fired in a few seconds.The Rama warrior that was entangled with the gunner smirked.

-When did you start your close distance marksmanship?It is like when I met Arks team..there is a considerable amount of skill.Arks subordinates might be amateurs but they are respectable warriors.But the most wonderful thing is the capabilities that seem to expand when they meet the enemy.I have to concede that Ark is a good leader.I am the Commander of the Red Front, Keiko so your opponent isnt lacking.

Why do you need to make a reason for fighting?

The gunner murmured as his bullet casings dropped to the ground. And he kicked the large bullet casings on the ground before rushing to Keiko.

Bullet Storm!

Ta ta tang! Ta ta tang! Ta ta tang!

-Excuse me.I originally didnt have such a character.

Tu tu tu tu! Tu tu tu tu! Tu tu tu tu!

Keiko avoided the large bullet casings and fired his machine gun.The battle between the gunner and Keiko wasnt the only one.10 Rama warriors had started flocking through the smoke screen so Arks team divided to the side and started to engage them.

-Barbarians Fang!

Welcome to the alter ego! Sonic Sword!

As expected, the person with the most prominent skill in the Royal Guards was the strongest Kusan warrior Ellain.He mightve wandered around lost for a while but now he had completely adapted to fighting with the life support equipped! The strongest Kusan warrior overwhelmed and pushed back the Red Front.However Arks team also had powerful users.

Armed Lightning Spear!

Kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa! Pajijiji!

Among them, one user that captured a lot of attention was Sadain. He wore his battle suit as soon as the fight commenced. He used his lightning spear to face 5 Rama warriors at once yet showed no signs of being pushed.Of course, it wasnt just Sadain.

Tutung! Tu tu tu tu! Tutung!

The troopers used the tentacles as cover and started pouring out bullets. In close combat there was a considerable interval when fighting with a spear so the troopers covered for that interval with their gunfire.The battle suit clad Leon also used bullets with the push effect to cover his allies and fight the enemy!

Super Magnetic Shot!

Leon played a key role in tilting the battle against the Rama warriors to their side.The special effect of Kayas battle suit also couldnt be ignored.Espers could buy battle suits that produced a similar effect to Esper skills. Kayas battle suit was like that. The performance was lower than other battle suits but.

Armour armament!

Kaya activated her armour at the same time.Kayas body floated in the air and particles of light concentrated around her.

Optisian was made with the power of a strong spirit. The wearers genes will be activated to its limits and the bodys capabilities will be amplified. This effect will be applied to the wearer and all colleagues through mental exchange. However, if two Optisian activates in the same party then only the stronger effect will be applied.

Kayas battle suit gave a buff effect to the entire party. The strengthening effect was lower compared to other battle suits but it was still UP!It even had an exclusive skill.

Bio Tornado!

A storm of mental energy swirled around Kaya!The Rama warriors caught in the storm had parts of their body turn strange.Bio Tornado caused a storm of intense mental waves that confused the enemys DNA. Some had their nose disappear or increased by three, others had arms growing from the back of their head, missing legs or even deadly mutations.

Of course, the Rama warriors didnt take it lying down.They were the strongest Rama warriors who reigned over the Bellin battlefields with the Red Slaughterer!They hadnt gained that reputation for nothing.They were equal to Kaya, Sadain and Leon but they were overwhelming to the Royal Guards! The Rama warriors including Keiko also had battle suits.

-Armour armament!

The Rama warriors equipped their battle suits!

Pepeng! Pepeng! Kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa! Kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa!

The battle became even more violent.

-

Wiing! Woong! Woong! Wiing!

The swords were raising a storm.A blade of wind occurred whenever the sword cut through the air and a storm swirled. Once that vortex disappeared, another one would occur and this repeated over and over.The storm of hot air had an infinite() cycle!It wasnt just one vortex. While bullets and blades were relentlessly crossing the Silver Star, the red and blue light in the centre clashed and made two narrow hurricanes.

Pajik! Pajik! Pajik! Pajijijiji!

Sparks flew everywhere!Dozens of storms seemed to occur at the same time like a shotgun explosion. Pain shot through the hands holding the sword each time. This didnt mean that the enemys sword was faster but that it dealt a fatal blow!

Youve become a little better than last time.

The Red Slaughterers voice was heard from the other side of the flying sparks. Ark twisted his lips and declared sharply.

Thats good seeing as last time I won.

I dont think so.

Im sorry. You dont think I won?

He questioned the Red Slaughterers words.If Ark looked back at that time, he was inferior to the Red Slaughterer in all aspects including level, equipment and skill. Therefore Ark had abandoned the losing battle and lured the Red Slaughterer into a trap before blowing him up. Perhaps that was why the Red Slaughterer couldnt admit defeat.Because it wasnt in sword skills.However Ark never considered himself cowardly.

I need to desperately figure out a way to win!

And he did win!Ark thought it was fair. The power of words was the ability to have different meanings.Knowing his own strength to determine when to run away from an opponent was smart, not dumb. Ark desperately tried to find a way to win and the result was the defeat of the Red Slaughterer. There was no point in being ashamed but

Damn, not yet?

Ark bit his lip.The battle between the Red Slaughterer and Ark was significant.To be honest, at that time Ark hadnt just been pushed by the level and equipment. He hated to admit it but the Red Slaughterers skills had overwhelmed Ark. If they were users just passing by each other than that wouldnt matter.But the Red Slaughterer was Lucifer!

The enemy that Ark had to defeat.They were both aiming for the ultimate goal so they would end up fighting several times in the future. And he couldnt use tricks like the one on Athamas every time.If they were going to fight in the future then his skills needed to at least be equal to the Red Slaughterer.During the time that passed after that battle, Ark neglected sleep while raising his level and polishing off his sword skills.

Ive definitely become stronger

Lets see how long you can last.

The Red Slaughterer laughed and sent a diagonal slash towards Ark. It was followed by a shower of a sword attacks.Despite the fact that Ark quickly recovered and raised his sword, red sparks still flew from his side.

This guy has also become stronger!

It was natural. The amount of time wasnt equal for everyone.The Red Slaughterer wasnt just killing time while Ark was growing. Furthermore, the Red Slaughterers identity was Lucifer. While Ark had to sleep, the Red Slaughterer was an artificial intelligence so he didnt need sleep in the first place.And he was also burning with vengeance for his previous encounter with Ark so it was natural for him to grow more than before!

But his sword is easier to fend off than before. That means my growth rate is slightly faster. But there is no meaning in growing faster if I dont win. Damn, I wanted to avoid a confrontation with this guy..

He had improved but there was still a slight difference.The Red Slaughterer was still overwhelming Ark. Nevertheless, Ark had been able to hold on for 20 minutes because of his battle suit.The battle suit had upgraded to Lv. 2 on Amara so the enhancement ability rose from 30% to 35%! He also became perfectly synchronized with it thanks to the gene rearrangement in the secret laboratory. And the greatest effect he could from the genetic adjustment..

Stop it, Aegis!

Arks eyes sparkled as he saw the red light.A small object rapidly rotated and soared over Arks head. It was a hexagonal shield made of a blue light!

Armed Mind Shield (Intermediate, Active): When the battle suit is perfectly synchronized, the body coating skills can be enhanced. Instead of a shield that wraps around the whole body, it will be changed into 2 pieces of Aegis shields. The shields might be smaller but its defensive powers are far higher and can be freely controlled by the user.

Mental Power consumption: 300 Cool down time: 30 minutes

The synchronization converted it to Armed Mind Shield!In fact, he had been quiet disappointed when he first saw the information window.The shield that protected the whole body had changed into 2 small shields.He thought the defense range had shrunk. However that idea hanged when he actually tried them out. The defense range of Armed Mind Shield might be narrower than before but that didnt mean the enemys attacks werent stopped.Armed Mind Shield could move as he desired.

Stop it!

The moment Ark sensed an enemy attack.The shield moved around Ark in circles like a satellite and blocked the enemys attacks.Additionally, the shield that wrapped around the entire body had become a compressed shield so the defense was boosted! The shield could even withstand 3~4 melee hits despite that being the weakness of shields. Aegis was a system that responded to the users will to prevent enemy attacks!

There was a disadvantage of course.Ark could only respond to enemy attacks that he detected.If there were bullets fired than he couldnt read the orbit of every attack. The Aegis Shield didnt help in that situation. However in a 1 on 1 sword fight, its effect wasnt a joke.

Snap! Chwajijijijijik!

The Red Slaughterers sword stopped the moment it hit Aegis!

The level difference will be obvious in close combat. Furthermore, his battle suit if the agility type. His attack speed is also faster than me. If Im pulled into a fight of power and speed then the odds arent in my favour!

Ark got close to the Red Slaughterer and tried to kick his knee.

Take this..eh?

But Arks knee just hit air.The Red Slaughterer just avoided it like it was expected and smirked.

I thought that your leg movements were somewhat unnatural.How disappointing.Did you think something like this would get me?Detection!

The sword shot out a red light!Ark hurriedly raised his sword but the Red Slaughterers Detection was a shock wave attack like Sonic Sword. He felt a pain in his chest and his body was thrown back several metres.

Heok! Son of a bitch!

Ark cursed as he was pushed to the end of the deck.Once again, Ark and the Red Slaughterer were fighting on the Silver Stars deck hundreds of metres in the air. If he was pushed off the deck then he would fall several hundred metres! He would be crushed like a tomato even if his health was at 100%.

Hyper Booster!

Ark shouted in an urgent voice.The jet devices emerged from his heels. Flames spewed out and Arks body shot forward like a projectile.However the Red Slaughterer was right in front of him!A red laser light was fired from the Red Slaughterers sword.

Take this! Dragon Fury!

Sheesh, Welcome to the alter ego!

Arks feet moved like lightning and his alter egos appeared.One of them disappeared when hit by the red laser while the others passed behind the Red Slaughterer.But the Red Slaughterer had already seen Welcome to the alter ego.

No way! Chakra!

Light gathered in the Red Slaughterers left hand.And his body rotated to block the combined attack from Ark. The Red Slaughterer was about to fight back when he frowned and stopped his action.

-What are you doing?

What?

Im wondering why youre not attacking.

I dont know what youre saying. Welcome to the alter ego is a skill to deal an unexpected attack to the enemy! But youve seen Welcome to the alter ego before and expected my next movement. And I moved like you expected! Isnt that why you blocked my attack?

Ark laughed from far away and answered

Thats not what Im saying!

The Red Slaughterer shouted angrily.

Did you think I wouldnt notice?This wasnt the only time.Youre not fighting seriously.You are just pretending to fight.

Why do you think that?

Youve had a few opportunities to launch a counterattack against me.But you stepped back each time.It is the same this time as well.If I expected the hit than you wouldve changed the attack.There is no reason to abandon attacking from a profitable position.No, I know that youre not such a passive guy.Then there is only one answer.You arent fighting seriously.Am I wrong?

It was like the Red Slaughterer said.A battle between two users of a similar standard wouldnt be easy. But once a battle was started, there was a moment where there would be a chance for victory or defeat. So far the Red Slaughterer and Ark had engaged a few times.No, it was just before they were about to engage.Each time Ark would receded and avoid the confrontation. Naturally he had a reason for it.

Busted.

Ark sighed and nodded.He scratched his head and laughed.

In fact, I havent been thinking about fighting with you. I understand you have bad feelings for me. I smashed you in New World and you got stuck in the governments computer so it is natural to hold a grudge. But isnt that in the past? So lets try to move on. Ive already prepared a place for you to live.

A place for me to live?

A state of the art cell phone! You can enter with the 16 GB external memory. But theres even more? Theres also a game where you can foster relationships with beautiful girls. There are a total of 16 character styles! If you enter my phone then you can have a beautiful girlfriend. Huhuhu! How about it? Interested? If you stop your threat to blow up the nuclear power plant and enter my cell phone then you can live a happy life with a girl.

-Talking like that..

Why?You dont like it? Okay! Then 64 GB! I cant do anything more. That is the biggest memory possible for a cell phone. Instead I will down 10 beautiful girl games. 10 games would be at least 100 people. 64 GB and 100 girls! Wah! How envious! Damn, I shouldve been born as an artificial intelligence. Im envious! What a hateful bastard!

Stop talking nonsense!

The Red Slaughterer shouted angrily.

Do you think Ill believe that nonsense?

No.

Ark replied with a straight face.

Are you stupid?Nonsense like that cant be true.

-What?

If you really want to know. The whole reason why Im avoiding a confrontation with you..

Ark looked at the Red Slaughterer with a firm expression as he revealed the shocking truth.

It is like you thought!

The Red Slaughterers face distorted at his answer. Ark sighed and continued.

It hurts my pride but I have to admit it. I thought I raised my level quite a lot but I knew immediately. It will be hard to win against you. Right now there is only a 30% chance. So why should I bother to fight you?

Arent you mistaken about something?

The Red Slaughterer stared at him foolishly.

-This is your ship.There is nowhere for you to flee.What are you going to do if you dont fight?Give up and surrender?

Of course not.

Ark smiled and replied.

Fighting isnt the only way to distinguish between victory or defeat. Hyper Booster!

Ark turned his body and shouted.Then Ark rushed across the deck towards the area where Slayer, Kaya and the others were fighting the Rama warriors. When Ark suddenly rushed there, the Red Slaughterer flew forward like a bullet and caught up with him instantly.And he raised his red lightsaber!

Dont be mistaken! Your opponent is me!

Armed Stealth!

Ark turned and shouted.A tremendous flash emitted from Arks body!

Armed Stealth (Intermediate, Active): Stealth is a technique where light bends around the body to hide the user from the enemy. However it cant be used during a fight. It is the same even when wearing a battle suit. However, once the battle suit becomes perfectly synchronized than it is possible to boost the visible light around the body by tens of thousands of times. This light is powerful enough to make the enemy blinded.

Mental Power consumption: 200 Cool down time: 30 minutes

Stealth had been converted after the body synchronization! It didnt hide his body but it would blind the enemy.The reason why he used Stealth rather than a flash bullet..

Ack! T-this bastard

The Red Slaughterer who had been chasing Ark slammed the brakes and closed his eyes. He wasnt the only one. The Red Front had reflexively turned as Ark and the Red Slaughterer neared so they also closed their eyes.

Now!

Then Arks yell was heard in their ears.The Red Slaughterer reacted to his voice and shouted.

Dammit! Prepare for the enemys attacks!

He thought Arks yell was a signal to attack.But contrary to the Red Slaughterers expectations, the gunshots actually stopped after Arks yell. Despite the fact that they lost their eyesight, the opponents didnt take the opportunity to shoot bullets. The Red Slaughterer soon realized the reason once his eyesight was restored.

What on earth

Arks team had climbed up the Silver Stars deck.While the Red Slaughterer and Rama warriors had lost their eyesight, they were gathered near the tentacles. And it was struggling to hold onto the ship?The Red Slaughterer screamed as he saw the scene.

-Red Front! Launch towards the deck!

You fools, it is too late!

Ark smiled and muttered.Once again, the Silver Star had been immobile because the Asuras tentacles were holding on to it.The tentacles from the Asura emitted a strong electronic signal that paralyzed the Silver Stars electronics. There were two ways to block this electronic jamming signal.

The first way was to cut off the tentacles sending the electronic jamming signal. And the second way was to make a conflicting signal to neutralize the electronic erosion.The first way couldnt succeed thanks to the interference of the Red Slaughterer and the Red Front

Hyung-nim, Ive succeeded in jamming the signal!

Ark had received that communication from Hegel just before he used Armed Stealth. This was the reason Ark dragged out the battle against the Red Slaughterer.There was a 30% chance.It wasnt just Ark and the Red Slaughterers duel.

This number also applied to his team members fighting with the Red Front. Of course Slayer, Leon, Kaya, Sadain and the gunner werent being pushed by the Rama warriors but it was getting difficult for Ellain, Kurakan and Hedro as the battle lengthened. If they continued to battle, almost all the team would be wiped out even if they won!Anyway, there was no reason to fight.

Milan, turn!

Wiiiing! Kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa!

Then there was a roaring sound and the Silver Star revolved.The erosion had been counteracted but the Silver Star was still being held by the Asuras tentacles. The Silver Star had to take some damage when it rotated.

Kwadududuk!

The tentacles embedded in the armour were torn out. But the sacrifice was worth it.The moment the Silver Star rotated!

Cough! Unbelievable!

No! Waaaaak!

The Rama warriors on the upper deck started falling.However this wasnt enough to take out the Rama warriors. The Red Slaughterer had noticed Arks plan just before the Silver Star turned so Keiko and the remaining 7 warriors instantly fired wire hooks into the Silver Star, causing them to hang upside down.

Captain-nim!

Dont panic! Those guys are hanging from the armour as well.That cant last long in that state, let alone attack.So it will soon turn upright again.

The Red Slaughterer told his subordinates with a growl.

Dammit! Ark! Doing something cowardly again! Even if this happens

The Red Slaughterer then realized something strange.Arks team were clinging to the ships armour. But Ark wasnt there with them. No, he couldnt find any traces of Ark at all.

Did he fall off?

Then a strange substance stuck to the Silver Stars armour caught his eye. It was a red slime that stuck to the armour like chewing gum.

What it that?

The Red Slaughterer wrinkled his forehead and murmured.All of a sudden a blue light emerged from the slime.

-Is that Ark holding a lightsaber?But how..?

Surprisingly Ark had emerged from the slime while holding his lightsaber.However the scene afterwards was even more amazing.The lightsaber spun in the air and started floating towards the Red Slaughterer and the Red Front. And the lightsaber started passing over the wires attaching them to the hooks!

Wing wing wing wing! Seokeok!

Hik! T-this..!

The Red Slaughterer screamed as he watched the wire being cut.He wasnt the only one. The remaining Rama warriors tried to rush forward. Their one lifeline was being ruthlessly cut.And there had already been 4 Rama warriors crushed like rotten tomatoes after they had fallen off onto Impeltus surface.

Chwaaaaak! Chwaaaak! Chwaaaak!

The moment the Red Slaughterer and Rama warriors were about to fall.5 tentacles rapidly flew out of the Asura to grab the Red Slaughterer, Keiko and the Rama warriors.

Ack! This is

The Red Slaughterer who had barely avoided falling stared with murderous eyes.The Silver Star had rotated 180 degrees and returned to its original position.At that moment, one person soared from the red slime. It was Ark who grabbed the sword that flew back to him!He had activated the Hide skill the moment the Silver Star turned over. And he used Psychokinesis to cut the wire!

Ark, dont avoid this match and run away!

The Red Slaughterer shouted angrily as he grasped the situation a step too late. Ark laughed as he turned around.

This is also a match for me!

In fact, Ark had also thought about a match at first.But it wasnt yet time to face the Red Slaughterer.So his head had rolled desperately to find a way to win. This was the method that surfaced to his head! Thats why Ark avoided any confrontations and dragged out the time.

The winner is the last guy to survive, not the guy that fights well!

However..

Chet, what a tenacious guy.

Ark clicked his tongue as he looked at the Red Slaughterer caught by the tentacle. Unfortunately the floating sword still wasnt at a level to move in the direction Ark desired.He couldnt manipulate it delicately enough to strike each enemy. It was impossible to cut up the tentacles.

Unfortunately it cant be helped.

The Red Slaughterer and Red Front mightve lost but the situation wasnt exactly beneficial for Ark.The ship had recovered from the jamming signal but the guns lost during the battle with the Asura were still unusable.

Of course, the Asura wasnt fine.That ship had lost the most important thing, its engine. However the Asura still had its lower and upper turrets.

If those guys aim the turrets at us then we might still lose. There is no guarantee we can repair the main gun and turrets before they repair the Asuras engine. No, if there was an engineer on the ship than the Asuras engine would clearly be repaired faster. Then this isnt the time to delay.

This time it is a draw.

Ark said before turning his back to the Red Slaughterer. He boarded the ship with his team and sat in the captains seat.

Hegel, the energy charge of the Silver Star?

It has charged up to 90%!

Okay, Milan. Operate the engine to its maximum! Aim outside Impeltus atmosphere!

The Silver Star vertically rose at Arks command.

Dammit! We screwed up! Dont miss! Kill that bastard!

The scene of the Red Slaughterer dangling from the tentacles like a doll and yelling caught his eye through the window.At the same time shells flew from the Asura!But the shells couldnt catch up to the Silver Star moving at its maximum speed. And the Silver Star headed towards the swirling purple clouds!

Roaaaaar! Kwaaaang!

They shot off with a roar.The Silver Stars engine was moving at its maximum output so they didnt need a long time to exit the atmosphere. The vast universe unfolded as they broke through the swirling clouds.

Hegel, calculate the coordinates. Start the warp voyage to Turan!

Understood!

Hegel replied vigorously as he pressed buttons on the dashboard.He finally pressed a red button and the Silver Star was wrapped in light.Ark blew out a sigh as he relaxed.Then the gunner headed towards Ark.

Ark, dont you have something to discuss with me?

No. But it seems you have something to say to me so Ill listen.

Ark nodded and turned towards the gunner. There was a sudden explosion and the ship shook wildly.

Pepeng! Kwa kwa kwa kwang!

Wah! W-what is this?

Damn it, did those Rama bastards already follow us?

T-this..the enemy isnt attacking!

Hegel yelled as he checked the dashboard.

Ether fusion system error! Oh my god! The engine received damage during the battle with the Asura! During the voyage, the balance control system failed so there is an error in the warp navigation! In this state we wont be able to endure the gravity distortion and will be thrown out of orbit!

Hegels scream echoed through the bridge! And..

Kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa! Pepepepeng!

They were thrown out!
