Chapter 1536: Chapter 873: Dismemberment
At the start of the battle, it was the most difficult time.
The four chosen champions had already tried their best to assess Bone Shardsâ strength before the conflict.
Just watching how he slaughtered top units of the Insect Race made it impossible to not take him seriously.
However, no matter how much mental preparation they made, it was nothing compared to the pressure they felt upon actual encounter.
It was simply like a nightmare!
Martins never imagined that a battle could be fought this way!
Not to mention Bone Shardsâ immense power, with just a single casual strike, forcing one to exert full effort to block;
Nor his swift figure like the wind, obviously large and clad in heavy armor, yet extremely nimble and agile, making him difficult to hit.
Just talking about his combat skills, they were terrifying.
The axe, fists, feet, guns, and cannons extending randomly from the armor... every offensive weapon was ready to be used at any time, always posing a deadly threat.
The angles and methods of attack would appear in the most unexpected ways.
Or it could be something you could predict, yet you couldnât evade it and had to brace for impact.
Even more terrifying was the previously mentioned âspace foldingâ feature mentioned in the staffâs analysis of Bone Shardsâ combat power. His movements werenât simply agile but exhibited a physics-defying manner: on him, inertia seemed non-existent. In a fierce charge, he could bizarrely make a right angle, instantly changing the direction of his attack. His war axe, one moment raised, the next was right in front of the face, as if there was no swinging process in between.
Encountering this twice, Martins even began to doubt if he was in a daze.
This form of combat was truly unbearable.
Within moments, it left Martins drenched in cold sweat.
Both times, he felt death narrowly missed him.
The first time took a heavy toll, the specially designed shield equipped on the Terminator Armor shattered directly.
The second time, even with vigilance, although he raised his sword to block, under the immense force, he was almost thrown off balance.
Fortunately, his comrades supported him quickly, diverting Bone Shardsâ attentionâthough a heavy particle beam soon pierced through his armor, injuring Martinsâ abdomen, but Martins took the opportunity with an angry sword strike, leaving a deep wound on Bone Shards.
However, the comrade who helped him didnât have such a favorable outcome.
The Living Saint Georgette risked her life to divert attention away from Martins, saving him and even creating an opportunity for effective damage.
However, the enraged Bone Shards launched a series of frenzied attacks, all aimed at Georgette.
Rizzo and Youwin hurried up to share the pressure, but Bone Shards ignored it, enduring a bite from the Shark Biting Sword that left a deep bloody mark, shrugging off a heavy blow from the Emperorâs Scepter that dented his heavy armor, he was determined to go after Georgette.
But more astonishing was that the Living Saint fought fiercely, as if disregarding the enormous disparity in power between the two sides, bravely engaging Bone Shards head-on.
The three scars were left on Bone Shards at this time by her holy golden spear.
This showcased Georgetteâs powerful strength under the blessing of divine powerâdespite enduring Bone Shardsâ war axe, the attached guns and cannons of the mecha, formidable strength, bizarre skills, and unfathomable space folding, she still managed to wound Bone Shards.
The white wings were filled with lightning, giving Georgette swift movement and allowing her to find more threatening angles in mid-air, launching attacks that were harder for the enemy to defend against.
Even if Bone Shards was struck by the electric strikes from the wings, his body would be momentarily paralyzed.
The holy golden spear covered in golden lightning broke through defenses solidly every time.
However, accomplishing all this came at a great cost for her.
The furious Bone Shards roared, slashing at Georgette with the war axe, employing all the techniques he possessed.
In reality, Georgette was more heavily wounded than Bone Shards.
Space folding made the war axe arrive very suddenly; even the Valkyrie-empowered Terminator Armor couldnât withstand it. The war axe would also split into several circular saws, spinning and sawing Georgetteâs steel-like wings, causing feathers to scatter.
Most terrifying of all was the fierce counterattack from Bone Shards after Georgette inflicted the third scar on him.
This axe strike directly hit Georgetteâs right shoulder.
This axe was indeed a full-force strike.
Georgette was already dodging, but couldnât evade it; she used her wing to block it, and the right wing was shattered; then, the war axe continued with undiminished momentum, hacking fiercely onto the shoulder armor.
Like most human armor, the Valkyrie Armorâs shoulder defense was the most robust part. Not to mention Georgetteâs armor was blessed with divine power, offering outstanding protection.
However, under this axe from Bone Shards, even the hardest part of the armor couldnât withstand it.
He astonishingly, brutally cut off Georgetteâs entire right shoulder, along with the right wing, a portion of the right shoulder blade, one-fifth of the chest cavity, and the entire right arm!
The exposed massive wound looked extremely horrifying!
