"Ha ha! Kaka, I’m not wrong, right? Your luck is really something; you brought back a mere decoration. Look at that guy—besides trembling and crying in the air, can he show even a hint of qualification as a drone Retinue? He won't even attack on his own. Kaka, you have to give him orders for him to move! Tsk tsk, you must have been duped. No doubt about it. Those bastards in logistics, how could they be so generous?"
After yet another not-so-intense skirmish ended, the mocking laughter of **70 echoed from the front.
"Yeah, it's a bit strange, Kaka. Maybe you really got scammed this time. Or perhaps there’s an issue with the parallel autonomous intelligence program you inputted. Even if your drone Retinue has no weapons, it shouldn’t be indifferent to combat! That doesn’t follow the rules." At this moment, Captain Hars also spoke up. Hearing this made Lin Yuan curse inwardly; he didn’t expect these two to be so sharp, noticing the flaws. But how could he know that the drone Retinue could actively engage in battle? He thought it needed Kaka's commands. Moreover, the previous fights had been one-sided; there was no chance for him to intervene.
"Captain, I don’t think it’s that serious. The f-910 just lacks weapons. I believe it might smartly realize that this is a fight it can't participate in." Fortunately, Kaka didn’t waver in confidence due to the words of **70 and Captain Hars. As a new recruit in the Ninth Legion, he couldn’t find a Retinue and didn’t have enough Merit Points to exchange for a better drone. So at this transitional stage, he needed a drone Retinue—even if it was just for show, it was better than nothing.
"Ha ha! Kaka, you’re always so naive. How about we make a bet? Your precious f-910, even if it had the best Weapon Equipment, would still perform terribly. Here’s what I propose: I have a damaged Demon-Breaking Spear here. You install it on your drone and don’t ask for too much—just kill one Earthbound Ghost or ten of those pesky Dark Demon Race within this month’s patrol limit. If you do that, I’ll give you some Ninth Legion-specific Merit Points. But if you lose, you’ll have to give me that Aurora Emblem Blade on you. What do you say? Dare to bet?" **70 laughed heartily.
"Ridiculous! A damaged Demon-Breaking Spear? Are you trying to pass off scraps? I’m not interested. I’ll get new weapons installed on the f-910. And unless you raise the Merit Points to 100, I won’t bet." Kaka surprisingly sounded confident.
"Nonsense! Kaka, do you think I'm a fool? You’re only a level 1 Mechanical Assembler; if I let you reassemble it, what’s left? No way—it has to be the Demon-Breaking Spear or nothing! However, I can raise the Merit Points to 80. How about that?" **70 wasn’t falling for it either.
"Fine! It’s settled then!" The 80 Merit Points were tempting enough for Kaka to agree immediately. **70 then took out a mechanical spear; while it sounded impressive, it was actually just the head of a black bat-9 drone that had been disassembled.
Lin Yuan couldn’t help but smile wryly in secret; at least this was better than being empty-handed. Moreover, he had some experience with this kind of special spear.
As they continued forward, Kaka and **70's bet seemed to be taken lightly by them—purely out of boredom.
However, whenever new attacks occurred, Lin Yuan began searching for opportunities to strike back but found himself in an awkward position: Hals, **70, and Kaka were performing too fiercely; almost all targets were taken down by them. The three drones with Ranged Attack capabilities could still shoot from afar while Lin Yuan—a pure melee fighter—couldn’t even get close.
Thus, amidst Lin Yuan's frustration, the team pressed on as if everything would continue at this pace.
But without warning, a massive black fireball suddenly shot towards them from straight ahead with no buffer at all, directly blasting **70's large body several thousand meters away. Lin Yuan could even see various parts of **70's Mechanical Body shattering! This hit was ferocious—surely not less than 0000 points of damage.
"It’s the Dark Knight! Everyone brace yourselves! Heavy Shield defense—one hundred times gravity reinforcement!" Hals's roar rang out simultaneously as Kaka quickly transformed his form to take flight for combat. But in the next moment, another slightly smaller black fireball shot from afar and struck Kaka again, sending him—and Lin Yuan himself—flying from the violent shockwave!
"Warning! Severe warning! Black magic Soul Energy detected; all Energy Weapons will be suppressed; all Ranged Attacks will be suppressed; imminent death possible—please evacuate immediately!"
In Lin Yuan's mind, frantic warnings erupted, and at that moment, he was still in a daze. He couldn't fathom that the seemingly formidable **70 and Kaka had been taken down in a single confrontation. Moreover, what was that fireball? And who was the Dark Knight?
There was no time to gather information using the Intelligent Brain Encyclopedia. Lin Yuan activated the Energy Engine, spiraling upward. This was a prime opportunity; if he didn't escape now, when would he?
Meanwhile, on the ground, not only was **70 severely injured, but Kaka was hurt as well. The drone Retinue belonging to **70 had been destroyed, and Hal's fate was uncertain. With the Dark Knight restraining Hals, there was no one left to obstruct Lin Yuan. He just needed to accelerate; in two moments, he could break free from the gravitational control of the Dark Nebula, and in three moments, he would reach the Mysterious Wormhole. Then, this disastrous journey would finally come to an end!
It should have ended a long time ago!
“No! Sir, please calm down and consider carefully. This is not a suitable choice. Trust me; if you choose to flee, although it may seem correct, the outcome will be unpredictable! You need to fight! Fighting until the end is the best option!”
At that moment, Claire's urgent voice rang out, startling Lin Yuan. He almost thought Claire had been compromised; how could she think this way?
“Give me a reason to trust you?”
“No, sir. I am conducting tactical and overall simulations. According to my results, there is a 99% chance that Hal has betrayed us, and then there will be a 999% chance that the Vulture Legion Commander will completely block that Mysterious Wormhole. Do you remember? The fall of g-715 Sub-base and the sudden appearance of the Migratory Insectoid Clan, along with the peculiarities of the Angerona star? The Vulture Legion Commander is such a powerful figure; he will not let us leave. Therefore, if you force your way out, you will fall into a trap that has long been set! Our only chance lies with Kaka; they will take a year to regroup before returning to Mechanical City. So you must demonstrate your worth immediately—no matter what happens in the future—joining the battle right now is absolutely correct!”
Claire's voice came out rapidly like bullets from a machine gun, and in an instant, Lin Yuan made his decision. He spiraled around, flipped over, and dove down like a hawk locking onto its target!
At that moment on the ground, numerous Earthbound Ghosts silently emerged from below, launching a full-scale attack while **70 and Kaka were incapacitated. Although Hals was powerful, he was currently engaged in fierce combat with several black shadows of similar stature. Without needing to discern closely, Lin Yuan could tell that these were indeed Hals's Dark Knights!
This guy was impressive; it felt as if he were facing the Bull Demon King himself—wielding a massive black hammer and relentlessly attacking Hals. Despite Hals's strength, he could barely hold his ground.
Around him, one of his drones Retinue had already been taken down while another was entangled by several Earthbound Ghosts. Hal and another Professional Retainer were still alive, fighting desperately as the entire situation tilted overwhelmingly against them.
As for **70 and Kaka, they were surrounded by at least thousands of Earthbound Ghosts and were in such critical condition that they couldn't hope to turn the tide!
All of this unfolded in an instant within Lin Yuan's intellect. Without hesitation, he drew out the Ghost Spear and locked onto the back of the Dark Knight. In an instant acceleration, the Ghost Spear pierced beautifully through the air and struck true against the Dark Knight's back!
The force of this strike was undeniably strong, especially with the Ghost Spear, a Killing Weapon, which shattered the Dark Knight's protective Dark Shield and sent him flying hundreds of meters, surpassing the struggling Hals below.
Having successfully landed the blow, Lin Yuan did not hesitate or seek further glory. In an instant, he retracted the Ghost Spear and replaced it with the so-called Demon-Breaking Spear. Then, he executed a rapid 360-degree spin, ascending to a height of two thousand meters with unimaginable agility.
Almost simultaneously, a black fireball whizzed past Lin Yuan, nearly scaring him half to death. The eerie black fireball was terrifying; he could not withstand its power.
"F-910! Well done! Go engage that Dark Devourer; I will support you shortly!" Hals exclaimed below, filled with joy. He had initially thought they were facing total annihilation but was surprised by this unexpected turn of events at such a critical moment.
At this point, Lin Yuan could not heed Hals's command. He continued to spiral rapidly in the air to evade attacks. For some reason, all the hatred from the Dark Devourer was directed at him. Fireballs rained down like lightning, covering him in relentless assaults!
These black fireballs were no longer as massive as before; they had shrunk to the size of fists. Clearly, the Dark Devourer had changed its attack strategy. It was like a meteor shower chasing after Lin Yuan, giving him no chance to catch his breath!
Fortunately for Lin Yuan, if it had been a normal Black Bat-9, he would have been shot down countless times by now!
Even so, Lin Yuan found himself in an exhilaratingly dangerous situation. He flipped, dodged, and spiraled through various high-difficulty maneuvers at extreme speeds, resembling a performance of aerial ballet!
After a full minute, the terrifying barrage of fireballs finally ceased. By that time, Lin Yuan had managed to escape nearly two hundred kilometers away, illustrating just how powerful those fireballs were. (To be continued.)
