Chapter 2000 Combating the Steel Puppet

The Steel Puppet stood eight meters tall and was comprised entirely of Fine Iron. It also wore thick, heavy, pitch-black armor. The Steel Puppet had two heads and four mechanical arms, each wielding a gigantic saber. Despite the Steel Puppets inactive state, it radiated a dreadful aura.

The boss is finally getting serious!

Amazing! So, this is the Guilds Steel Puppet?

When they saw the colossal Steel Puppet, Sin Realms members recovered their senses. They no longer feared Shi Feng, but cheered with excitement.

A Steel Puppet? Shi Feng was quite surprised to see the massive construct.

Like the Guardian Puppet, the Steel Puppet was a Bronze Puppet with the Strength of an apex Tier 2 being. Its Defense was even greater than the Hell Tanks. Like the Hell Tank and other war weapons, Bronze Puppets didnt have HP, but durability. The Steel Puppet was capable of several times the Hell Tanks combat power, the perfect weapon to deal with players and take down buildings.

Ye Feng, you should be pleased! Youll be this Steel Puppets first victim! Irontooth said, sneering as he sat in the Steel Puppets control module.

This was the first time Sin Realm would use the Steel Puppet since obtaining it.

The Guild simply hadnt needed to use it yet.

Operating the Steel Puppet also cost a large number of Magic Crystals. Just to activate it, one needed to store 1,000 Magic Crystals within the Puppet For every minute the Steel Puppet was operated, it would consume 50 crystals. In other words, the Steel Puppet could only operate for 20 minutes at full capacity. To make matters worse, using the Steel Puppets Skills would cost additional Magic Crystals.

Sin Realm hadnt bothered to use the Puppet for these reasons, even when dealing with other Guilds.

Irontooth was only allowed to use the Steel Puppet now because Lone Beacon wanted to teach Zero Wing a lesson.

As Irontooth fell silent, he used the Steel Puppet to advance on Shi Feng.

The Steel Puppets Movement Speed was extremely high, crossing 50 yards in less than two seconds. Upon arriving before Shi Feng, the Steel Puppet swung one of its sabers at the Swordsman.

Despite the attacks casual nature, its power was at the peak of Tier 3. The wind even howled as the saber soared towards Shi Feng.

So fast! Shi Feng immediately responded by swinging Killing Ray.

Boom!

With the sound of an explosion, the sabers trajectory altered, and it crashed into the ground beside the Swordsman, the impact tearing a 20-meter-long gash in the ground. Shi Feng instantly lost over 20,000 HP

You really are something to survive an attack like that! But how will you fare against four sabers? Irontooth brandished his three remaining weapons after seeing his target only lose a small fraction of his HP.

Since a player controlled the Steel Puppet, all three sabers accurately flew towards Shi Fengs defensive blind spots.

Boom Boom Boom

As one slash after another descended, the blades devastated the ground around Shi Feng. The earth trembled violently under the resulting impacts, and some of Sin Realms nearby players lost their footing.

The Steel Puppets devastatingly destructive power stupefied Sin Realms members.

Setting aside the Steel Puppets Strength, its Attack Speed alone shocked many of the watching players. The sabers were far too quick, and even the Tier 2 players realized that theyd be hard-pressed to block a single strike. If they had to combat all three sabers simultaneously, theyd die on the spot

Once the dust settled, however, they were even more shocked.

Shi Feng still stood beside the Steel Puppets swords. He hadnt died in the flurry of attacks, and this time, his HP was fully intact

As expected of a Bronze Combat Puppet Its combat power is amazing. The Hell Tank is nothing in comparison, Shi Feng thought as he looked at the deformed terrain around him. If he hadnt activated Power of Darkness in time, he wouldve likely lost more than half of his total HP.

Controlling a Combat Puppet was very similar to controlling a Divine Beast Players essentially merged with the Combat Puppet, and although they couldnt control the Puppet as easily as they did their own bodies, executing simple attacks at maximum efficiency wouldnt be difficult

Moreover, a Bronze Combat Puppets every attack contained the Strength and speed of Tier 2 at its peak. It was the equivalent of a Grand Lord ranked Archaic Species. In addition, every attack a Combat Puppet executed would contain its full power, like a player at their peak. Even a Tier 3 expert would be at a disadvantage against a Bronze Combat Puppet with the same combat standard.

A Berserk Skill? Do you think that can save you? Irontooth sneered when he saw the black aura around Shi Feng. He then raised his four sabers and attacked again.

Although he couldnt control the Steel Puppet as nimbly as his own body, he was confident of defeating a real Tier 3 expert with the Puppets Strength, speed, and four arms.

Well see about that! Shi Feng brandished his two swords to meet the four sabers.

Swords Orbit!

A galaxy of stars formed around Shi Feng, and he either blocked or deflected every attack Irontooth launched with the Steel Puppet

How is this possible?! How is he keeping up with the Steel Puppet?! Sin Realms members watched the battle with dropped jaws as the Steel Puppet was rendered ineffective against Shi Feng.

However, none of them knew that Shi Fengs Attributes could normally rival a Great Lords of the same level. After using Power of Darkness, his Strength was as high as an ordinary Grand Lords under the Intermediate Magic Arrays suppression. He was also as fast as a Tier 3 player of the same level. Hence, the Steel Puppets Basic Attributes were only slightly higher than his, and Shi Feng could easily make up for the gap with his techniques.

Hes actually so strong? Irontooths expression darkened when he realized that he couldnt gain any ground against Shi Feng.

He had never thought that this Swordmans Attributes were so high that they could rival the Steel Puppets.

After trading blows for a short moment, Shi Feng lost interest in passively defending himself. He started to find opportunities to attack the Steel Puppet.

Dang! Dang! Dang!

Dazzling sparks filled the air as Shi Fengs swords stabbed and slashed at the Puppet, but despite taking multiple attacks, there wasnt a single mark on the Puppets armor.

Its useless! Even if you have heaven-defying Basic Attributes, they are nothing before the Steel Puppets Defense! I want to see just how long your Berserk Skill will keep you alive! Irontooth growled, sneering.

He was fully confident in the Steel Puppets Defense, which had Tier 3 defensive capabilities. Only a Grand Lord ranked Archaic Species attacks could reduce its durability. Ordinary Grand Lords would only accomplish the feat if they used particularly powerful Skills.

Is that so?

Shi Feng chuckled. He then activated Blade Liberation and slashed at the Puppet again.

Hua!

Suddenly, a visible tear appeared on the Steel Puppets armor
