Chapter 188: Brewing Storm IV
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Sen Hai carefully observed the surrounding. He was piloting a Cosmic Flare but he remained cautious as ever. The MPA, the nesis should have noticed their whereabouts after such major activity from the Black Coves. No way the Black Covers could remain invisible after making such a huge move. So every Black Covers flew out with vigilance as they headed for their mission, fearing to be snuck upon by the MPA.
This was exceptionally true since there had been rumors that their group stirred up mbers of the Sanctuary a while ago. Sadly he was not in the position to demand that bit of information, the hows and whys were nothing he could know.
The movent was so massive that both MPA and the Sanctuary would be utter fools if they never noticed it. I seriously do not get what this Instructor Hak from Group F had in his mind when he launched this. Sen Hai was from Group B, naturally he was not under Hak’s administration. He was transferred since there was an insufficiency in the work force.
Sen Hai would never know the pain Instructor Hak had to bear. It was challenging and stressful for Hak to find that needle from that haystack naly the galaxy, especially when the needle could hide and squeeze into other haystacks. If without the cooperation of local governnts, finding F-58 would stay difficult as ever. Certainly Black Coves were influential enough to convince the governnt into assistance, the catch was however, if he were to seek assistance from them, he would have to hand them the visuals of F-58 to be publicized everywhere - that would obviously alert the MPA and the Sanctuary, which further escalated the complexity of the situation.
It would be less hassling if there was only the MPA, but there was the Sanctuary too, where their relationship started to worsen at an alarming rate. He knew the situation much better than Sen Hai, the so-called "conflict" between the Black Coves and the Sanctuary was not a re scratch on the surface. The counterpart lost 4 of their combat squads, it had been rumored that they even lost an ace from the fight while the Black Coves suffered the first ever dead serious fatalities all these years! Such fight had never been the case when they fought the MPA. The Sanctuary would not be resting just yet obviously.
The leader is a f*cking donkey isn’t he? Did his brain shrink that day?
And now Hak is stuck in a sticky situation where he could not even reach out his limbs. Dammit, of all n, of all tasks, they picked this and they picked ! And this very task required tons of work forces, I did bring tons of work forces as ntioned but seriously they could not even get a change from the price.
The biggest bewildernt was the identity of this F-58 he used to instruct. He was actually a skeleton artisan? Well maybe he snatched a skeleton ch sowhere on the road but no matter what it was in reality, this F-58 would be the sole source of information on skeleton chs and we got to get him.
Hak had been rather dreadful of F-58 due to his outstanding performance back in Black Coves, which made the instructor fascinated enough to presu him as the strongest pilot ever in his group, especially that extre speed of his hands, impressive and terrifying! And that capture he attempted after that… It was a few seconds where they both exchanged moves but the fear was never-before-felt. The accurate calculation, the reasonable utilization of the situation, the potent capability in combats and the fearless decisiveness, combining these elents would make F-58 the greatest pilot ever!
Hak had been replaying the scene that night nurous tis afterwards and there were quite a few parts which he could never comprehend. He tried imagining putting himself in the shoes of those n but the conclusion he obtained was depressing. If he was there, it was in fact, either captured or slaughtered. There was nothing better he could have acted.
Terrifying… Such a terrifying monster!
…
Sen Hai was still in the sky piloting Cosmic Flare. He could be pissed by Instructor Hak’s arrangent, Instructor Hak could have zero involvent to his career in the Black Coves, he still tried his very best to execute the orders. The discipline in Black Coves was sothing to be drilled in the heads of the n, so stern that it was unimaginable for people outside, which justified his curiosity over F-58’s sudden betrayal. How could he ever survive without the Texturizing Solution? Sen Hai’s heart felt all heated up the mont he reminisced that odd sensation where the solution covered every inch of his skin, opening up the pores . Texturizing solution, the silver liquid would strengthen his body by maintaining the balance between strength and flexibility of muscles, allowing them to have parallel growth without breaking the balance.
After he had assassinated the target of his greatest spite 3 years ago, he offered himself to Black Coves, body and soul as it was Black Coves that gave him every of these. Each day he grew stronger but also more in daze? Sigh, what am I thinking? Such boring thought, like stop it! Criticized himself, his focus went back to the surrounding.
Wait… His eyes went large as they glared at the space-warping ch on the screen.
Double Curved Steps?
Of course he recognized the step after all these years in the Black Coves! Ye Chong never expected that that application of the step in ch was not the creativity of those bodyguards under Mr. Robert, it was in fact a common technique among the Black Covers! It was rely that he stayed at the Black Coves so briefly that he never was exposed to these techniques.
Yes, that’s right! It had to be Double Curved Steps!
Sen Hai affird to what he saw. Double Curved Steps do not restrict on the size of the curves, but it had demands on the pace as well as the rhythmic sense of it which differ from the usual turning he saw on other chs!
And he had pinpointed one more fact, where Double Curved Steps were the combat technique exclusive to the Black Covers. It was not really difficult but no way one could imitate the steps without proper tutorial.
F-58? Was that you?
The code sprung in his head. Uncontrollably his heart raced!
Did I hit the jackpot today? Did the lady luck smile at ?
Is that you? F-58! Is that you!? He would not want to spend more ti on figuring things out. For soone who knew Double Curved Steps, other than our n, it had to be that F-58!
0.1 second lapsed and he made up his mind - to capture, alone!
Being inside the circle, he knew the rules well enough - if he were to ever inform the authority, he would not be sharing any credit of it. The inhuman competition between the groups was also sothing unimaginable to folks out there. The ti when he and Instructor Hak headed out with other mates, all of them ca back either wounded or killed and everyone from the Black Coves knew it. So, no reason he should inform the authorities! If such rit ever laid onto his hands, he would be flourished! More advanced techniques, more advanced ch, more advanced position! His eyes tightened.
The most important motivation to his one selfish attempt of taking this slice of credit was the ch. Clearly one could say that F-58 picked an extrely substandard, cheap ch to avoid the attention, naly Volt ch.
The logic behind this decisive factor was how F-58 would be a fish in the net disregarding his amazing skills, as long as he piloted that cheap ch, he would be no match to the Cosmic Flare. Sen Hai could also imagine a similar situation if Instructor Hak were to pilot this tal piece and failed to escape the grasp of his. The capabilities of a pilot in the field would be determined by the capabilities of the ch other than his own skills! Although he was aware that F-58 might possessed a skeleton ch, well, would he have the ti to switch into that then?
No!
The idea flashed in his head as quickly as he flew towards the Volt ch like a shooting star, striking the na of his ch - the flare in the cosmos.
…
Ye was returning to the dojo. He was walking on the street under the invigilation of Shang who continuously provided feedbacks of the surrounding. As being well-aware of the situation, Shang who had been the talker behaved himself.
At least there was nothing strange going on. Once he stepped into September dojo, he would be alright!
"Ye!" Shang’s voice ca abruptly, "There’s a Black Cover’s ch ahead, seed to be engaged."
Engaged? In fight?!
Ye Chong’s heart skipped a beat. He recovered fast. If it was one single ch, he would be fine. Do we fight? Do I call Han Jia? Ye Chong was stimulated. Wait, they are fighting? If the Black Covers made it here, they must be here for . Then why are they fighting? Were they warring with the MPA? His speculation was turned down by Shang imdiately. It was not a MPA ch, rather it was a Volt ch.
Volt ch? That was just so junkish ch… Ye Chong was feeling odd.
The ti taken for Ye Chong to get into the cabin of his ch was magically shorter compared to the other pilots. Whether there was the rope ladder to the cabin was not his concern, he climbed all the way up like a mutated ape. He rolled into Han Jia.
…
Weeeeee…
Wei Yuan was having fun making the acrobatic performance. Boom! He lost control as he began spinning.
He was not clear about the situation but he could deduce that his ch was crashed by so nonsensical driver! Utterly angered, he cursed, who the hell forgot his eyes when he piloted the ch? How the hell he got his license? He swiftly tapped a few switches, the engines were on. Volt jerked clumsily after a few tumbling in the air. The dizziness from the intense flipping lingered in his head.
Hmph. Sen Hai sneered. F-58 was weaker than I thought. He actually kept his position instead of taking the flow to dodge the attack, aren’t you a walking bullseye or sothing?
At this rate, it would be only a matter of one shoot to finish the foe off. But the authority ordered to capture this F-58 alive… and I should not be wounding him, well that was not much of a problem either.
The Cosmic Flare zapped to the back of Wei Yuan like a phantom. Wei Yuan remained dizzy and his outdated detection system could not detect the existence of this Black Cove ch in the dark. Wham! One more blow! The elbows of Cosmic Flare struck upon the back of Volt, causing Volt to land onto the ground harsh like a teorite. Boom! The ground was hollowed.
The pedestrians on the ground scurried away like animals of a forest fire, only few fearless kinds lingered at the corner, wanting to witness the very scene. Fearless they might be, they still feared to head to the frontline.
Sen Hai landed by the hollow. He snorted, with this level of crash and that cheap buffering system of Volt, the pilot would not be protected into safety. The pilot must have fainted. Out of his carefulness, Sen Hai also destroyed Volt’s engines right before it crashed to the ground.
Volt was stuck into the ground, not moving in a bit. Sen Hai snickered in his Cosmic Flare. Of course he would not just be snickering, he flipped Volt over and withdrew the dagger, a few hushes the chest of Volt was scratched a square. The tip of the dagger locked at the center, one pick and the sliced armor went tossed away like a giant coin to the side.
Han Jia hid itself in the crowd of chs at the side. He was confident to tell that the Cosmic Flare must be from the Black Coves, which was weird… A Black Cover usually would keep his or her firepower before the target was confird. They should not be launching attacks randomly. So who is that person in the ch? Why would the Black Cover aim him?
Wait.
"Shang, is there any other Black Covers around here?" Ye Chong got sothing in his mind.
"Nope, no other Black Covers were detected in the proximity of 50 kiloters," asserted Shang.
"Good." His tone was cold as blizzard as his hands started shrouding into stacks of afterimages.
The recovery rate of Wei Yuan was clearly beyond Sen Hai’s expectation. Wei Yuan was proud of his piloting skills the most, which justified the endurance of his body being stronger than most n. Moreover to protect himself better, he had already requested his father to modify the buffering system inside the cabin, well since he feared so accidents like these could happen.
Wei Yuan opened his eyes to see a giant chanical arm reaching him gradually and was making a grasp round him!
Wei Yuan’s face was paler than a paper.
He might be a ntally stable boy but a boy he was in fact, being in his early adolescencee, how in the world would he have experience with being treated like a puppet in a crane machine?
Oh no! I’m dood! His eyes enlarged. The world suddenly beca slow in his eyes, as the palm ca towards him slowly like the slow motion in movies. Right at that second when the gigantic hand touched him, he could hear a profound sound of crash coming from the outside. The hand was then withdrawn in shock like a serpent being stabbed.
Ah! Wei Yuan shrieked. The chanical hand swept his left arm when it was taken back! He could hear the cracking sound of his bones! His face went distorted as droplets of sweat gushed over his head like lava into water.
Wei Yuan’s face had lost its colors.
Enduring the pain, Wei Yuan was more than convinced that he would be real done for if he did not make his move. He was not aware of the happening outside, but he knew this would be his only opportunity to survival! That owner of the chanical hand who nearly captured him had to be so evil-natured kind. Anyone could tell from that huge gap he cut open on the ch!
Wei Yuan struggled his way out of the gap.
And he saw a scene where he believed he would rember for the rest of his life!
A ch which both the texture and color were ominous as hell was smashing that ch whose nearly caught him. And the techniques were obviously the type visible in Virtual World. His eyes went fully focused on the fight, burning with passion as he forgot the pain on his arm.
…
Rui Bing knotted her brows as she saw the two chs fighting in front.
Well it was nothing to see two chs competing for their silly pride from ti to ti, but it would be sothing if they were doing it on the street, in public! She despised that since such an unprofessional fight of dead-or-alive would easily hurt any innocents nearby!
Wait a second… That movent of the ch was very orderly… Interesting…
It was the first ti in her life she saw a ch fighting in such style, which intrigued her to keep watching along.
