Chapter 518: Chapter 273 Exposed! Confrontation, Shocked Grey Eyes!

"Your Mecha..." A familiar voice sounded, on Sandro’s left, Theo’s figure appeared with a drop of fresh blood sliding down the shiny dagger blade, dropping onto the floor.

On Sandro’s right, with his back to Ulrich, the familiar pale golden Mecha slowly appeared.

However, at this moment, it seemed to be enveloped by a flowing layer of silver armor, clearly displaying many fine wounds similar to those on Sandro’s body, which were slowly healing.

Theo’s heart was uneasy, he was very familiar with his own lethality, and had made estimations beforehand, the Mecha worn by Azure Dragon couldn’t stop him.

However, the reality was completely opposite, the flowing silver nano-particles had actually enhanced the Mecha a second time.

"Such strong control..." Li Ming was also shocked, facing Theo, he was extremely alert, holding nothing back.

Controlled Objects used the [Subspace Folding Ring]’s [Space Blink] as the core, in conjunction with [Vortex Shadow]’s [Gale Shadow Hunting], and [Star Ring]’s [Intelligent Assistance] capabilities.

In a head-on confrontation, he was certainly no match for Theo, he could only maneuver around him temporarily.

Both sides weren’t engaged in a fight to the death, Li Ming didn’t think about using [Magnetic Crystal Heavy Domain] combined with cannon tactics.

He merely used [Silver-grey Particles] to enhance the Tank Guard Mecha he was wearing; the Tank Guard Mecha itself also came with a 25% damage reduction, yet still sustained considerable damage.

Even more impressive was that such strong lethal power almost didn’t result in any overflow of energy fluctuations.

Sandro, caught in the middle, didn’t dare to move, his pupils trembling and his throat rolling.

If a real fight started, Ulrich silently retreated backwards.

"But... it’s still not enough!" Theo’s eyes narrowed slightly, and as his words fell, his figure had already vanished.

Almost simultaneously, Li Ming also disappeared from his original spot.

Even with [Vortex Swift Shadow] that individually provides up to 24 times speed buff, he still couldn’t catch up to Theo, and the method Li Ming used wasn’t purely speed.

The noise from the Mecha clashing with wind was too loud, he mainly made use of [Space Blink], combined with [Intelligent Assistance] to pinpoint Theo’s position, then used [Gale Shadow Hunting] to pull from both sides.

Thus, it looked like a ghost film with rubbish special effects, with the figures of the two continuously flashing in the corridor.

Ulrich was dripping with cold sweat, his pupils trembling; although the two weren’t engaging in intense close combat, nor using massively widespread elemental attacks.

Yet this kind of speed-focused confrontation, which he also couldn’t clearly follow, was even more frightening.

When did Azure Dragon reach such a level, to actually be able to contend with Theo in terms of speed?

Doesn’t that mean he could approach me without me realizing it and take me out?

This... He suddenly felt a surge of regret, regretting having shared his speculations with Theo.

After it ends, wouldn’t Azure Dragon want to finish me off?

And Theo himself was also frustrated; from his point of view, most of the time, it was very difficult to touch Azure Dragon.

One moment he was in front of him, the next behind, and then in another blink, back in front again.

Even if he could touch the Mecha, it was only for a very brief period, making it hard to unleash enough damage to be lethal.

"Crack!" A crisp burst sound, but it was the cabin wall affected by a slight residual wave, cracking open.

The alarm of the main ship sounded, red lights flashing in the corridor, the hull trembling, forced to disengage from the transition passage.

"Enough." Theo stopped, his expression dark, his intention was not to fight to the death.

Unless he escalated further, this had to stop.

"Enough?" The figure of the Tank Guard Mecha appeared, Li Ming’s voice indifferent, "You say stop, and we stop?"

Theo’s eyes half-closed, "What do you want?"

After this trial, he estimated that it would be very difficult for him to best the opponent.

Although he hadn’t exerted his full strength yet, who could guarantee that the opponent had given his all?

But likewise, he didn’t think the opponent could threaten him.

Azure Dragon wasn’t using pure speed, but rather a method akin to space shuttling, with quite evident space fluctuations.

Additionally, the lethality was insufficient, the Mecha excelling in defense, the shock absorption inside the cockpit and the energy conduction layer occupied a significant portion, already beyond Theo’s expectations to perform space traversal.

Excessively strong direct lethality is not a good thing for Mecha pilots, as life levels aren’t high, any component malfunction could potentially lead to the pilot being fatally injured.

"Heh..." A flat laugh, responding to him, was the gradually disappearing pale golden Mecha.

"Still want to fight?" Ulrich’s expression shifted, his heart stirring, could it be that Azure Dragon not only had the means to contend with Theo but also to defeat him?

Impossible, he subconsciously didn’t believe, or rather, dared not believe.

The narrow corridor was swirling with fierce winds, a figure had already reached his side.

"What now?" Connet’s expression was unpleasant; when the main ship’s intelligent system issued a warning, stating a hull breach near Azure Dragon’s room, he immediately rushed over.

Ulrich remained silent, Connet’s gaze fell on the corridor ahead.

The first thing he noticed was Sandro, naked, covered in wounds, shivering like a bloodied man.

Next was the abnormally thick object hanging from his waist.

The bulky Sandro was too eye-catching, Ulrich caught a glimpse of the massive hole in the wall from the corner of his eye, his doubts unraveled.

But his expression suddenly grew stern, he saw, in the narrow corridor, two blurry figures intermittently visible.
