Chapter 6373 One Step Ahead

The fight between Ves and the 5 arche lesser phase lords might look exciting, but it was child's play compared to the main confrontation between the strongest transcendents on both sides.

The Dark Zephyr armed with a borrowed tier 3 Destroyer spear was the only machine that held back the two greater phase lords from destroying the Bluejay Fleet!

It was quite ridiculous how a single ace light skirmisher was able to hold back two formidable opponents, but the Bluejay Fleet had done everything it could to stack the deck in its favor.

Under the leadership of Admiral Tensen and other highly professional first-class military officers, every ship and system operated at their peak. The valuable time spent on analysis and targeted preparations paid off in spades as the warships were easily able to cover each other and prevent themselves from getting overpowered by the inferior enemy warships.

The Bluejay Fleet also had 325 first-class multipurpose mechs at its disposal. Although their quality was not entirely uniform, they still represented the peak of standard combat power of red humanity.

Even if their numbers were paltry compared to second-class mech forces, their power reactors were so much more amazing that their firepower could not be underestimated! Combined with the much stronger firepower of the warships of the Bluejay Fleet and the Rosfield Cannons of Fort Rock, the greater phase lords learned that confronting a top human force without bringing enough assets on their own had overestimated their capabilities!

The firepower and comprehensive solutions available to the warships of the Red Two were never easy to deal with! With the Tarrasque and the Babylon Excavator at the lead, the relatively modest number of sub-capital warships completely dominated the infiltration-oriented enemy fleet and strained the resources of the greater phase lords. Plasma bolts, hyper transphasic positron beams, exotic missiles, gravitic weapons and more continually assailed the two greater phase lords.

Above all else, the overlapping warp interdiction fields and the space suppression fields generated by all of the friendly assets continually limited the spatial capabilities of every phase lord.

The actions undertaken by the well-equipped and technologically advanced 'mortals' suppressed the greater phase lords a lot more than they imagined!

This should not have happened!

Just the Arena Lord of Ya'gwasa alone should have been able to overpower a single junior ace mech before tearing the rest of the Bluejay Fleet apart!

The Distance Shaper only accompanied the more powerful phase lord as insurance, but also to make sure that their target did not manage to flee or teleport away with the help of a powerful transphasic gizmo.

Yet even with the help of the Distance Shaper, the Arena Lord continually failed to eliminate the first obstacle in his way!

Saint Tusa Billingsley-Larkinson did not take his continued survival for granted.

He vehemently crushed any notion of conceit in his mind. Each time he and his battle partner worked together to predict a lethal strike and take actions to evade it by a distressingly slim margin, he understood extremely well that he could have easily died if he made just a single mistake in his action sequence!

He never had to test his control over his machine and his evasion skills more than today. The Arena Lord not only came into this battle with an abundance of combat experience, but he was constantly getting better at predicting Tusa's moves.

If Tusa remained exactly the same as he was at the start of this fight, then the torso of the Dark Zephyr would have gotten impaled many minutes ago!

The only way to stay ahead of the Arena Lord was to improve harder!

The threat of getting pulverized by the formidable Saint Piercer weapon pushed Tusa's willpower past its previous limits at an unprecedented pace!

174 laveres. 178 laveres. 182 laveres. 186 laveres.

Each increment of willpower strengthened Tusa's Saint Kingdom just a bit more, allowing him to boost the speed and other performance parameters of his Dark Zephyr just a bit more.

Since he piloted an ace light skirmisher, even a minor enhancement to mobility resulted in a substantial boost in survivability.

This was bad because there was a limit to how much Tusa could improve during a single fight. As amazing as his improvement may be, there was no instance where a fresh junior ace pilot managed to promote to a senior ace pilot during a single engagement. Such exaggerated growth spurts were impossible to attain in practice!

"Solutions?"

"WE NEED MORE HELP, AS LONG AS YOU CAN LAST LONG ENOUGH, THE MECHS THAT HAVE DEALT WITH THE ARCHE LESSER PHASE LORDS WILL TURN AROUND AND REINFORCE OUR POSITION."

"Not enough. There is not much more that the Bluejay Fleet can do." Tusa instantly shook his head. "These greater phase lords are much more resistant towards small caliber

firepower."

"THEN WE NEED TO FIND A WAY TO DISRUPT THE COOPERATION BETWEEN THE ARENA LORD AND THE DISTANCE SHAPER."

That was a challenge because Saint. Tusa and his ace mech failed to detect the channel that the Distance Shaper used to transfer his power to his fellow greater phase lord. The ace mech flew in the space that separated the two greater phase lords many times but failed to detect anything suspicious.

It was either an abstract mechanism that completely flew over the top of Tusa's head, or it was buried deep within a dimension that was out of his reach. The Dark Zephyr offered another suggestion.

"IF WE CANNOT FIND THE CHANNEL, THEN WE STRIKE AT THE SOURCE INSTEAD.

WE HAVE YET TO ATTACK THE DISTANCE SHAPER. I BET THAT THIS BIG PHASE LORD IS MUCH LESS ABLE TO COPE WITH OUR ATTACKS THAN THE ARENA LORD."

Tusa did not immediately accept this idea. "I have been thinking about targeting the Distance Shaper many times, but it is a bad idea to shift my attention away from the Arena Lord. As soon as I attempt to move away, he will try to thrust his Saint Piercer into

your back."

"THEN WE NEED TO RESORT TO OUR ABILITIES TO CIRCUMVENT THIS ATTACK,"

"Our Banish resonating ability won't work against the Arena Lord. His body is too solid and massive to cut off a portion of his limbs. Banishing the Saint Piercer won't work either. I don't know what this weapon is made of, but it is probably so solidly built and saturated with phasewater that it's impossible to cut off a piece of this long weapon." If Tusa was a lot stronger, then he could have been able to cope with this situation a lot

better, but his growth so far was not enough to give him the qualifications to Banish anything related to the Arena Lord.

"THAT LEAVES OUR ULTIMATE ABILITY. WE ONLY HAVE ONE CHANCE. IT IS ALL-OR-NOTHING, SO WE MUST USE IT AT THE RIGHT MOMENT AT THE RIGHT TIME. IF WE WANT TO ATTAIN THE BEST RESULT, WE NEED A DISTRACTION. IN

ADDITION TO THAT, YOU NEED TO COMBINE YOUR BORROWED WEAPON WITH THE DARK WIND PASSAGE ABILITY."

"Those are heavy demands."

Saint Tusa rapidly considered this plan and agreed it was probably their best shot to turn

this situation around.

As he continued to focus on keeping his Dark Zephyr a step ahead of the Saint Piercer,

the units that previously fought against the arche lesser phase lord finally began to swing and add their firepower to the effort to stop the greater phase lords!

Ves became available as well. If there was one person in the Bluejay Fleet that could produce a distraction, it would definitely be the infamous Devil Tongue!
