Chapter 897: Accident 1

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Garen stuck his Body close to the black stone wall, as he tried to camouflage himself with his surroundings.

The Willpower around his body changed his appearance into a complex pattern slowly like a chaleon. This helical pattern covered his entire body as he managed to use his colorless Willpower to rge himself with the stone wall before him.

This was the Crouched Eagle Talon’s Exclusive Color Changing Cloaking Technique. This was different from the Crouched Eagle Talon of the Outer Courtyard as Professor Van Doe had modified this training thod to the point it had two new stronger abilities, which were Black Wind and Color Changing Cloaking Technique.

This was the main difference between the simplified version of the Crouched Eagle Talon which was spread in the Outer Courtyard and Van Doe’s Crouched Eagle Talon.

Vroom vroom!!

Four Black chs flew past Garen, not realizing that their target was hiding in the corner.

He could still hear Linda and the others scolding one another repeatedly.

Garen sat quietly inside the Cockpit as insects resembling fireflies drifted around him while glowing green.

After he felt that the assassins had flown very far in, Garen gently reached out his hand and grabbed the dot of light. The small green insect crawled about in his hand. It looked like a beetle as its wings were glowing green.

“Got rid of them easily,” he laughed softly as he ignited his engine and maneuvered his camouflage ch out of the crevice. He knew that once the assassins felt sothing was amiss, they would imdiately turn around to look for him.

However, he would have left the area safely before that happened.

As he flew out of the crevice slowly, he noticed that the surroundings were very quiet as either all the Pilots from the Nottingham Household had evacuated the area or all of them had perished. Garen felt apologetic towards these innocent people as if it weren’t for him luring his enemies here, these people wouldn’t have died.

He had relied on his aura and cloaked himself to evade any detection from these people so they were welcod with the four assassins instead of him.

“I will rember your sacrifices,” Garen turned around and looked at the base of the cliff which was on the verge of collapse as he flew directly towards the nearest supply point.

*************

“Sothing’s not right! Why can’t we detect any signal at the front!?” Linda imdiately stopped the chase.

Rainstorm, who was beside her, had started to suspect that sothing was amiss as well.

“Perhaps that bastard has so sort of Exclusive cloaking ability?”

If I have a cloaking ability, what would I do if I were being chased?” Linda rubbed her forehead as she pondered. She had been in the assassination business for a few decades and this was the first ti she had t such a troubleso newbie.

“If I were him, I would make use of this cloaking ability and head towards a troubleso place in order to let the others slow us down. At the sa ti, I would find an opportunity to conceal myself!” one of the assassins spoke.

“Damn it! That bastard must have run outside! Chase after him!” Linda clenched her fist.

“He’s definitely going towards the nearest supply point to get so energy batteries! We...” before the assassin had managed to finish his sentence, he looked up as if he’d seen sothing unimaginable.

Linda and the others looked over curiously to realize that the light around the assassin’s body surface was rather strange as it was brighter than usual.

Vroom...

A deep horse stampeding noise could be faintly heard from the sky as a streak of red and yellow light flew towards them from afar.

The teor broke the sound barrier as it drew a long, smoky yellow tail. The blinding light shone onto four of the chs as their chs reflected a faint tallic luster.

“What is that!?” Rainstorm felt sothing bad was about to happen.

“I don’t know...”

“What is that?! That’s an Inheriting Pilot!! Run for your lives!” Linda lost her cool as she turned around and escaped without any hesitation.

The remaining three chs paused for a mont before following in her footsteps. They had completely disregarded their energy consumption as they tried to escape with the maximum output.

Four streams of blue fire behind their back resembled wings.

“Great Light Chain!!” a faint tyrannical voice could be heard from the sky.

Suddenly, a few thin pure-white chains were shot out from the red yellow teor as it zood towards the four assassins at a speed similar to that of a Laser Cannon projectile. The chains caught up to them easily before they tied their targets up in a matter of seconds.

These chains beca tighter for three of them as it reacted to their Willpower’s Energy Field. It appeared to be becoming tighter the more they struggled.

“What is this!?”

Linda was stunned as she imdiately took out a green viscous substance and gripped it tightly in her hand.

It popped and the liquid exploded, turning into a cloud of green mist. Within the mist, a face appeared as it slowly opened its eyes.

At the sa ti, her ch was covered with a layer of green mist. At the center of her ch, a face which spanned ten ters in diater opened its eyes slowly as it glared at the Great Light ch behind her.

Two streams of green lights were shot out as they hit the Great Light ch at a speed faster than that of a laser.

“The Light of Numbness? It’s the disciple of Bear Angus!! Hahahaha! It’s worth coming here after all!!” ear-piercing laughter ca within the Great Light ch. “I’ll go and sort this out with Bear after I’ve captured you. I’d been considering avenging my brothers’ injuries from last ti!”

The green light was able to halt her for a split second before the Great Light ch dove downwards and pulled the chain along with the four chs towards her.

The four of them did everything they could to escape from the chain but to no avail. It was as if the chain was an illusion and yet it was able to tie securely onto their Body’s back.

Their faces turned pale within their cockpits as they were reeled in.

“This is the end...” Linda shivered.

Boom!!

Her final view was of countless white Flood of Light covering the sky as they went after her.

**************

Far away on a black field.

Garen looked up at the red yellow teor which sped through the sky towards the black crevice.

He felt a faint wave of vibration as if it was an oppression which ca from the root of Willpower.

“A powerhouse has arrived...” his heart sank. He was confident in escaping from these four, but this person was way out of his league. It was definitely a powerhouse with its own Exclusive ch. Once a powerhouse had its own Exclusive ch, excluding the troubleso power of Resonance, even the basic abilities of an Exclusive ch which far surpassed that of the standard model’s were troubleso enough to deal with.

His cloaking technique that had been used to evade detection from his enemies earlier might not work on this person. Who knew what sort of advance detecting instrunts were installed on that Exclusive ch?

“I wonder what happened to Linda and her team. Judging from the looks of it, this person should be the powerhouse of the Nottingham Household...” Garen laughed at their misfortune as he went towards the nearest supply point rrily.

As he flew forward for about ten minutes, The resonance behind him could no longer be felt. He flew around the deserted radioactive field and occasionally spotted yellow puddles. Yellow acidic mist kept vaporizing from the water and the white bones of worms and corpses could be seen by the edge of the puddles.

Dirty, giant grey mice that were at least a ter long could be seen climbing up from the edges of the puddles.

He looked left and right and all he could see was the desert which spanned towards the horizon and his ch was left with 2% of energy left.

He had no choice but to stop after a few minutes.

Garen had already prepared to move forward on his own in the hazmat suit.

He didn’t bring much drink and food with him as his main parcel was in the care of Anda’s team.

He flew until the smallest bit of energy was left in his ch.

Garen looked around and couldn’t see anything. He then looked at the map and the nearest supply point was a small radioactive people’s village, which was a ten minutes flight away. It was not enough for him to reach his destination with the energy left.

As an individual weapon, the ch was considered very powerful. However, its long-distance navigation was far inferior to the Battleship, which was the reason why Battleships were used to transport chs to their desired locations. No matter how powerful a ch’s energy furnace was, it wasn’t as long-lasting as those of Battleships. Afterall, the battleship was designed with transportation and navigation in mind. In this era, the main battle forces were the miniaturized battle jets and chs.

Perhaps there existed a ch that had a long-lasting energy furnace, but it would require a Pilot of a higher level in order to operate it. If a powerful ch were to be operated by an unqualified Pilot, it would be too much for the Pilot to handle during the activation phase. The end result would either be the Pilot being unable to move it or suffering severe injuries from attempting to forcefully move it.

Kachak!

Garen opened the cockpit and walked out with his black hazmat suit on. He jumped lightly and landed firmly on the field. He even had a small staff in his hand, which was the Staff of Absolute Yin that he always carried along with him.

As the cockpit behind him slowly shut, the ch’s eye dimd as the energy source was completely depleted.

Garen looked around and did not see any sign of human activity.

The largest zone was the radioactive belt after leaving the city regions. This planet’s surface area was much larger as compared to of Earth.

“I need to find a fuel source for the ch as soon as possible.”

After recalling the closest supply point, Garen imdiately sprinted towards the location.

After a few steps of running, a few yellow earthworms sprung up from the ground and lunged towards his mask. These earthworms had only one bloody eye and mouth, similar to that of a spider. It kept opening and closing its mouth, giving off a repulsive vibe.

Garen gently flicked these earthworms away but his powerful fingers didn’t seem to do any harm towards them. These earthworms then sprung up again after falling onto the ground.

Hmpf!

Garen scoffed as a big blue jagged mouth opened up from his left palm. Countless blue tentacles sprouted out from it and pulled the earthworms into its mouth, ingested them and swallowed them.

The potential of the Hellfrost Peacock Technique had started to surface as his ability Devour finally showed signs of prowess after the slow evolution.

The strange radiation from the earthworms entered into his body while they were being devoured through his palms. However, under the control of Garen’s Willpower, it stopped spreading as it reached his left shoulder. It then ford into small seeds, which were prototypes of the Distorted Seed.

The huge mouth that appeared on his palm had torn his hazmat suit apart as well. Hence, Garen decided to rip the hazmat suit away from his left palm. As he was about to feel the difference between the radiations, his expression imdiately changed and he sprinted far away from where he was standing.

After he left, the pure white ch slowly appeared behind the Black ch. The green diamond shaped crystal on its body was structured in such a manner that it ford a huge green light network. This network was clearly in the shape of the word ‘light’ in the universal language.

It was the Great Light ch from White Light.

“Aren’t you fast at running away!” Nottingham scanned her surroundings.

“You managed to lure people in and kill two of my Level Five underlings! If I were to let you escape this easily, doesn’t that imply that I, Nottingham, am practically useless?” She scoffed. She raised her left shoulder and a small compartnt opened up under her arm, revealing a bottle of bubbling dark green liquid.

She used her other hand to pull out the test tube and threw it in front of her.

The test tube broke and the green liquid exploded into a cloud of green mist, spreading into the surroundings slowly.

Soon, clear footprints appeared on the field. These footprints were illuminated green and they stretched forward in the direction Garen was running towards.

“This way.”

Nottingham smirked as she followed the green footprints.
