The first swing of the policemans beam sword easily sliced through the tail of a canine skeleton. With a quick twist of his wrist, he continued with a slash downwards, taking off its rear right leg at the sa ti. Yet the canine skeleton didnt seem to flinch at all, as it leapt right at the exosuit, leg or no leg.
However, the sword-wielding exosuit was already waiting for it, calm and collected as it stabbed the scorching blade of light into the monsters head. A second later, it exploded in a flash of eerie green light. Despite its flashy appearance, this explosion did not cause any damage, but it did signify the disappearance of the strange green fla within its skull. With it, the entire canine skeleton fell apart as well
Was that the force animating the creature then? Seems like we found a weakness in its head.
Still, while that creature might have died, the force of its leap remained. As its lifeless skeletal fra crashed into the exosuit, the suit visibly staggered, but that was the extent of its impact seems like even a full-on charge from one of these beasts couldnt topple an exosuit. Furthermore, its claws did not seem to leave much of a mark on the exosuit either. In other words, that scorpion tail was its strongest weapon, and strong it was.
As for the other exosuit on the bridge, he seed to have fared worse. The mont he approached one of the beasts in lee range, he was hit by a tail attack. Fortunately, the tail wasnt able to penetrate the exosuit this ti. It rely left a sizable dent where it struck. In all likelihood, the exosuit could take another three or four of such attacks before the pilot within was hit.
That tail attack, it seed, wasnt as undefeatable as we first thought. That shocking one hit kill was most likely aided by the beasts running charge up the bridge. And that made sense as well. The area of the exosuit in question was the cockpit, it would have to be the sturdiest portion of the exosuit.
Under such conditions, the two exosuits on the bridge slowly retook the initiative from the canine skeletons. As they smoothly ducked and weaved in lee, they would throw in a few slices here and there. Whenever they couldnt dodge an attack, they rely slamd head-on into the beast instead, easily sending it flying.
Speaking of flying, these two exosuits actually tried to take to the skies several tis already. However, the canine skeletons were keen-eyed enough that they imdiately sprung on them whenever they even attempted to do so.
Either way, I now had a clear idea of how these beasts worked -only its tail was a concern.
Yet just when I was about to relay this finding to the survivors, trouble struck. A dozen or so canine skeletons sprung up behind us!
AH! Theyre here theyre right behind us One of the survivors imdiately yelled in panic.
Ill take care of them! Dont worry
Ah crap run there are too many of them
Steady now. Our exosuits arent that much different from the police ones, as long as we avoid those tails, we are fine.
While I might have said that, it wasnt exactly true that the entertainnt exosuits were just as sturdy as the police ones. Initially, such a statent would be true. But the budget allotted to maintaining a ga suit wasnt ever going to be the sa as maintaining a police suit. Whenever a part was due for replacent, whether due to shelf life or damage, they would be taken down. However, these parts would often get refurbished, then resold on the market. In the best case, an entertainnt exosuit had the sa defences as a police exosuit, but after constant refurbishnts, could this second-hand car of an exosuit be reasonably expected to function as well?
The mont these monsters appeared, a portion of the survivors broke off from the main contingent in panic. There were also the braver ones who ran up to block the monsters. Unfortunately, good intentions alone wouldnt cut it in front of the grim reaper.
Just as they were all prepared for a rousing battle, death ca knocking on their doors
The first survivor was imdiately pushed back and injured while the second was summarily pierced by multiple tail attacks. Naturally, the pilot was a goner too.
As for the others, what did these survivors even expect with their sealed up weapons? They couldnt just smash open their skulls with a hamr, could they?!
Hes dead dead RUN!
Save
Their bravado barely lasted ten seconds as they started to flee themselves. Unfortunately, the mont they tried to run away, the canine skeletons struck Geez, did no one teach them not to show their backs to an enemy?
The fear of death was like a virus; once it spread, there was no stopping it. Once the first casualty appeared, a wave of panic washed over the whole contingent, and it wasnt long before they began fleeing blindly.
Everyone, calm down and maintain ranks Bitong tried to command the survivors to no avail.
Big brotherlets get out of here these monsters are scary Jiaojiao said as she rode up to in her pink exosuit. Even wrapped in a veritable tal fortress, there was no safety to be had at this point for the timid girl.
Your Highness, the ti has co for us to slay the demons!
Compared to Jiaojiao, Lixiang was a lot more combative, but why did she turn from a magical girl to a character in a cultivation novel?
Regardless, running away wasnt an option now. From the way these monsters seed to be popping up in the dozens, there were most likely even more hiding out sowhere. And besides, if the police were to be routed completely, where were we to even run to? Thus, I decided to fight!
