This is really not mechanical ascension

Chapter 430: Chapter 229: Justice Beating, Bryrim’s Despair

He silently shifted his position, only to find that Li Ming’s gaze also subtly moved.

Could he have noticed?

Theo’s heart sank slightly, while Li Ming remained silent. What was this guy doing, regretting at the last moment?

Or did he realize that Bryrim was trying to drive them away, so he decided not to take action?

Could it really be that he’s waiting for me to make the first move?

Li Ming pondered, then suddenly shouted towards Theo’s location, "Who is it!"

As his words fell, Theo’s face changed slightly, and he moved.

In that instant, as Theo, who had been building up his power, revealed his form, the black mist swirling around him also contained deep red energy rings, swift and fierce.

The two were too close; almost in an instant, Theo had attacked right next to Bryrim, with a black spiked dagger appearing in his hand, the aura of death hitting them face-on.

This strike, fast, accurate, brutal.

Ulrich felt his eyelids twitch without having time to react as if he could also feel the pain of this strike in his eyes.

Li Ming’s eyes narrowed slightly; Theo, this freak, probably had a development progress of over 90%, specializing in stealth and assassination, posing a great threat.

Bryrim hadn’t even noticed the opponent was hidden just within reach.

At this moment, even they couldn’t see Theo, only the dark glint.

What’s more terrifying was that such a fierce, rapid strike produced neither sound nor any fluctuations.

It naturally blended perfectly with the surrounding environment, almost without any abruptness.

Li Ming and his partner were struck with awe, while Bryrim’s pupils instantly contracted!

A chill exploded in his heart, spreading rapidly throughout his body, causing his whole body to break out in goosebumps.

This was a terrifying assassin.

Crack--

Li Ming heard a clear cracking sound.

Snap,

Bryrim’s eyes turned a deep red, a crisp sound burst out all over his body, and the crystals embedded in his skin emitted blinding light, forming layers of shields, yet under Theo’s dagger, they shattered bit by bit.

Energy ripples instantly overturned the area, shattering the metallic structures.

Following that, an earth-shaking counterattack erupted.

Bryrim suddenly raised his palm, the crystals on it twinkling, reaching straight for Theo’s brow, perhaps intending to crush his skull.

In that moment, Li Ming could feel the ferocity charging at him.

In reality, the instant Theo made his move, he had already materialized Tank Guard Armor and possessed it.

Undoubtedly, as an A-level life form capable of occupying a hub, caught off guard, faced with Theo’s assassination, he still managed to exhibit incredible reactions in a split second.

No avoidance, just attack as defense.

Theo’s eyelids twitched, Bryrim’s arm covered with elemental energy, the crystals flickered, forming a huge, ethereal energy claw.

His genetic sequence was focused on stealth and assassination, a habit developed over the years, and he had no desire to clash head-on.

"Pity, if only he had discovered it a bit earlier," thought Theo.

Bryrim’s counterattack was not only swift but also stronger than expected in a desperate situation.

However, once he infiltrated here and Bryrim failed to notice him, the outcome was already sealed.

Buzz--

The trembling sound of the black dagger, resembling a buzzing bee, released a surge of black energy the moment Theo thrust, tearing through the universe like a dark light.

Even Bryrim, strong as he was, could not avoid it, from top to bottom, tearing through shoulder and chest, and taking with it part of the abdomen, blood spurting out.

Bryrim’s eyes, already red, gained a bloody hue; for a moment, he even heard the sound of his bones cracking, the interwoven crystal energy outside his body and the defensive patterns on his skin, all torn apart.

The smell of blood filled the air, thick and pungent.

Then, the lingering energy fluctuations finally exploded, whipping up like a wild wind, gradually expanding, bursting open residual energy waves, nearly covering the entire upper layer of the starship.

"Ah!"

An earth-shattering bellow mixed with Bryrim’s fear, a figure flew back with incredible speed.

Like a falling meteor, Bryrim smashed through many decaying metal walls of the massive warship, embedding himself into a wall as blood nearly sprayed out.

Bryrim was bleeding profusely, this strike nearly severed half of his body, with the edges of the wound swirling with black energy, preventing the injury from healing.

"You are Grey Eyes, Theo!" Bryrim struggled to get up, his heart filled with shock and anger.

Ulrich, Theo, they are all following this Mechanic?

"I’ve never wronged you, why did you ambush me?" Bryrim’s eyelids twitched, his gaze wary as he watched several figures flying toward him.

The disturbance here attracted a large number of Scavengers living in the starship, and soon someone recognized the pitiful figure, almost half his body nearly severed, who seemed to be the master of this place.

"Ha ha, do we need a reason to kill you?" from another side, a resonant and firm voice continued, a figure enveloped in flames charging forth.

"Sandro!"

Retreating, Bryrim grew more incredulous.

Why have all three of them come; he was just trying to freeload a bit from this Mechanic, and even before he succeeded, he was attacked by three people?

Sandro charged violently, and as Bryrim dodged this strike, he swung out a condensed Energy Light Column, still maintaining quite powerful combat abilities.

"Why didn’t you kill him?" Li Ming looked at Theo, who had stopped his action.
