Chapter 132 He Wants to Do What?

"Huff, huff…"

Sylvia ran through the ruins, panting for breath, dodging enemies everywhere. This level of combat was still too early for her. She could barely do anything. Fording was stalling for time, and she didn't dare waste the opportunity he created.

After running for a long time, her lungs burned. Sylvia stopped, holding her knees and panting.

Rumble—

Suddenly, an overwhelming gale swept over, and the wind pressure stirred up by Arnell grew stronger and stronger. Sylvia's face suddenly filled with horror. With such a wide range of coverage, she couldn't escape at all. She stood blankly in place, raising her head to look up, watching the storm rapidly approach.

Just then, a Teng Snake mecha rushed out from the side, the armor on its chest split open, and it swallowed Sylvia in one gulp. The next moment, the storm swept across, and the mecha flew up with countless bricks, tiles, and steel, and crashed more than a hundred meters away.

Sylvia hid inside the mecha, only feeling dizzy from the impact, but was otherwise unharmed. She had escaped death and cried out in surprise, "Phillip?!"

"Master told me to protect you and hide… Buzz… He said the storm is expanding… Buzz…"

She subconsciously looked toward the sky. Through the mecha's vision, she saw that the sky inside the shield had formed a tornado. Countless things were sucked into the vortex of air, spinning in the sky. The tornado was still expanding. Through the debris flying all over the sky, she saw Arnell flying around clockwise, like a fleeting stream of light, stirring the air like a turbine.

The shield area was only so big. Arnell let go and prepared to create a tornado big enough to fill the inside of the shield for indiscriminate attacks. In a closed area, his storm could more quickly achieve the destructive power to flatten the surface.

In the sky.

Arnell was too fast. Han Xiao and Nagokin couldn't touch him at all. He flew around on his own, extremely fast, leaving the two helpless.

"If we let him continue, once the storm is fully formed, everything inside the shield will be crushed, and even his subordinates will not be spared. Does he want to treat his other subordinates as pawns?"

Nagokin's tone was heavy. He was experienced and had already seen the result. They couldn't keep up with the opponent's speed and couldn't stop Arnell at all. If the Norius guardians watching the battle from afar could help, they might be able to stop Arnell, but the guardians didn't seem to want to help.

The two sides fighting on the ground moved away from the center, but many people were still swept up, crushed into scattered blood by the raging wind pressure. Many of Han Xiao's machines also suffered. Mechanical beasts struggled in vain in the storm, and the bases of the turrets inserted into the ground were uprooted, tumbling in the wind.

From the outside of the shield, a swirling iron-gray vortex composed of countless debris was rapidly expanding. The inner circle of the shield was occasionally scraped by the rotating debris, constantly bursting with sparks, looking just like a washing machine.

This scene was like the world spinning!

In the storm, Han Xiao's assault armor had long been shattered, and the close-fitting Void Dragon mecha was also covered in wounds. All the energy was invested in the mechanical wings and thrusters to barely stabilize his body in the storm. Seeing that the situation was not good, he knew that if he didn't stop Arnell, everyone else would be finished.

The fully fired-up Grade A Super was too powerful. Han Xiao had even used [Life Returns] once. He couldn't help but be even more certain of one thing. Fortunately, he had advanced using the mission settlement card, otherwise he would definitely be screwed.

Such powerful strength made him very yearning. Han Xiao was now level 116, and his panel still had more than 200 million experience. If he hadn't advanced, he would probably have to consume one or two more [Life Returns] in this battle. Currently, most of his existing conventional methods were ineffective. After all, the DarkStar assault came suddenly, without much preparation time, and after advancing, Han Xiao didn't have much free time to manufacture new machines.

‘Fortunately, I copied Ames’ character card, otherwise I would have to run away, but now I still have an ace in the hole that can turn the tables.’

Han Xiao's mind was set. In the communication channel, he shouted to Nagokin, "What's your strongest attack method?"

"What do you mean?" Nagokin asked in confusion.

"I have a way to make Arnell stop. It should be able to restrict him for a dozen seconds. During that time, he can't move or use his abilities. This is the only chance to seriously injure him," Han Xiao said in a deep voice.

The situation was changing rapidly and was very unfavorable, but he still maintained his composure. Although he had explosive methods, Grade A Supers had extremely high resistance. Even if Arnell wasn't known for his defense, his attack power alone wouldn't be enough to break down the enemy's combat power—he had already tested it on Ashes once.

Only Nagokin, the Grade A super muscle man, could cause fatal damage, so as not to waste this precious Dragon Throne character card!

"A dozen seconds? Can you really control Arnell?!" Nagokin couldn't believe it and thought he had misheard.

A dozen seconds was no longer something that could be described as an "opportunity" for their level, but rather the difference between life and death!

How could this mere Grade B Black Star possibly restrict a Calamity Grade for a dozen seconds?!

"Just trust me."

Han Xiao's tone was calm. Arnell was an Esper, and mainly focused on speed. His Strength attribute couldn't possibly exceed 1,800 points!

"…Okay!"

Nagokin took a deep breath. Black Star had been able to repel Ashes and had never disappointed him. Maybe it could really work. He decided to trust him once and immediately began to gather his energy. The cells all over his body released a vigorous martial arts aura, like a ball of golden fire. The wind couldn't extinguish it, but instead made it even more vigorous, and his aura continued to rise.

He didn't need a dozen seconds. In fact, as long as Arnell stopped for one second, it would be enough for him. A barrage of combos was his strongest method. His only worry was not being able to hit the enemy.

Han Xiao used his full eyesight and stared closely at the Wind Sprite, who was shuttling at high speed in the storm. He stretched out his hand and aimed it at him from afar, his eyes sharp.

Success or failure depends on this one move!

…

"What does he want to do?"

Arnell also noticed Han Xiao's actions and could still see all the details clearly in the storm.

He didn't understand Han Xiao's behavior, but he was quite surprised that this guy could withstand the strongest area of the storm until now. By the standards of a Grade B Super, his vitality was too tenacious.

But he should be reaching his limit soon. Arnell turned his head and looked at the edge of the battlefield. That guardian had begun to move, moving toward Black Star. It seemed that he also felt that Black Star was in danger and wanted to take him away. In an instant, Arnell understood the Norius Consortium's plan.

"Preparing to save Black Star from my hands, not wanting to anger Ames, huh? Hmph, how beautiful you think."

Arnell smiled coldly and suddenly controlled a ball of wind to hit the approaching guardian, slowing down the guardian's pace. Then, he swooped down, charging with the terrifying wind pressure cannon that could blast out a ring-shaped mountain, and suddenly attacked Han Xiao.

—Arnell was determined to eliminate him here!

"This is bad!" The guardian was shocked. The higher-ups told him to intervene in an emergency to prevent the senior combat forces of both sides from being killed. He originally wanted to take the exhausted Black Star away from the battlefield first, but he didn't expect Arnell to attack him. This was taking the risk of angering the guardian to kill Black Star, with no fear.

Just then

Han Xiao's body suddenly burst out with terrifying energy fluctuations that made everyone present change color in horror!

It was as if the space had frozen.

Buzz—

A woman's illusory figure appeared behind Han Xiao, and her movements were consistent with his, reaching out her palm toward the approaching Arnell.

"That's… Dragon Emperor Ames!"

Nagokin, Arnell, and the guardian's faces all showed astonishment and horror at the same time!
