Chapter 6993 Red Cabal Responses

The battle between the First Sword Mark III and the greater phase lords resumed again!

Saint Dise clearly felt confident enough to confront her enemies despite being surrounded by enemies on all sides.

With her new superdimensional ace mech, she no longer took the threat posed by the phasefighters and warships seriously anymore.

Her sword fey alone could chop them into pieces so long as they got close enough!

After the two sides had completed their little exchange, the Protector of Karnak made the first move.

The Protector of Karnak ultimately made the first move. Without warning, he disappeared from sight!

If not for Saint Dise's sharp intuition, she would have responded too late by the time her ace mech detected a strong presence had appeared just a few hundred meters away!

It turned out that the jureg greater phase lord utilized a phasewater organ that granted him the capacity to perform short-ranged teleportation with no delay.

Although the Protector of Karnak found himself unable to get closer than the edge of the First Sword's Saint Kingdom, this also brought him close enough to unleash his killer move!

Instead of activating another phasewater ability or charging forward so that he could attempt to snap the First Sword Mark III in half with his empowered claw, the Protector of Karnak instead made a surprising move.

Several banks of back-mounted missile launchers began to launch a spread of short-ranged high-yield transphasic missiles straight at the First Sword!

These missiles were not as small and compact as the ones typically launched from mechs.

The Protector of Karnak maintained a size that was several times larger than a typical mech.

This granted him enough of a scale advantage to mount larger weapon systems on his fully-enclosed raiment.

Just like a juggernaut, more or less.

Dise did not know how much phasewater the native aliens had stuffed into the warheads of the incoming missiles, but she instinctively felt that they possessed the power to crack or heavily damage her First Sword Mark III upon direct impact!

Her sharp intuition automatically prompted her to make a move before she consciously thought about her response.

8 of her sword fey already jumped forward and split up in order to intercept all 8 threatening missiles.

Meanwhile, the enemy warheads encountered a strange form of resistance as they plunged deeper into the ace mech's Saint Kingdom.

While Dise's domain field was almost entirely offensive in orientation, it was still able to weaken and slow down the missiles just enough to give the sword fey enough time for interception.

Just as the Saint Kingdom weakened the enemy missiles, they also amplified the sword fey, making them a lot faster and tougher.

Everything happened in an instant.

Unlike lower-end missiles, the premium munitions issued by the Red Cabal did not let themselves get cut into half with a whimper.

Their potent warheads exploded as soon they encountered significant resistance.

Multiple detonations occurred at the same time as soon as the sword fey were about to cut through the missiles!

By the time the interference settled, Saint Dise's eyes widened when she noticed that all of her sword fey suffered heavy damage!

Each of their tips were just gone. The back half of the spurs were still intact, but also showed significant signs of damage.

3 of the crippled sword fey had become entirely unresponsive. The remaining 5 moved so slowly and shakely that there was no point in controlling them anymore.

In just a single exchange, the Protector of Karnak had removed 8 mid-grade superdimensional sword fey off the board!

Although Saint Dise was a little more confident that her ace mech's armor-grade superdimensional alloy plating could resist these missiles, the First Sword would never be able to get away unscathed!

A single high-yield transphasic missile might not be able to punch through all of the armor layers, but what about 8?

What about 16?

What about 32?

There was no way the enemy phase lord's missile launchers could only unleash a single salvo.

Even now, she strongly suspected that the greater phase lord was waiting for his launchers to load another set of transphasic missiles into the tubes.

There was no guarantee that these missiles would possess the same yield as the ones that exploded just before.

What if their yield had doubled or tripled? The First Sword would definitely suffer a more serious blow, up to and including an armor breach!

The Protector of Karnak did not continue to linger beyond her Saint Kingdom.

The greater phase lord demonstrated considerable courage by diving straight inside.

The results of the initial missile salvo encouraged the alien leader.

It had thoroughly broken the myth that a superdimensional ace mech was invincible!

Saint Dise scowled and chose to meet the enemy's challenge.

So long as she was close enough, she believed the Protector of Karnak would not be so quick to launch his destructive missiles for fear of harming himself.

As the First Sword Mark III executed a moderately empowered sword slash at the larger and more formidably armored phase lord, the Protector of Karnak fearlessly extended one of his armored crustacean-like claws.

The blade glowed and glinted with metal energy and true resonance.

The claw glowed with in a mysterious dark blue tint that strongly exuded the power of space.

Two different superdimensional arms clashed against each other.

The moment the two collided against each other, the fabric of space rippled like a stone dropped in a lake!

Both sides bounced backwards as if they had just struck a solid wall.

The results of this exchange became clear.

Saint Dise grew disappointed when she saw that her superdimensional Decapitator failed to slice through the claw as easily as she had chopped off the limb of her previous opponent.

"TCH. JUST AS I THOUGHT."

The Decapitator managed to stay completely undamaged, but the masterwork greatsword failed to leave behind more than a shallow groove onto the armored claw.

Although this had hardly been the First Sword's strongest attack, the Protector of Karnak's ability to block a high-grade superdimensional blade was far better than that of the Fifth Lord of Bis'qet!

"@#$&#$@$."

"DO NOT MISTAKE ME FOR THAT NUNSER FAILURE OF A GOD. I HAVE LEARNED THE GREATER MYSTERIES OF SPACE BY THE TRUE GODS OF THIS GALAXY. MY BODY CARRIES THE ORGANS HANDCRAFTED BY THOSE VERY SAME GODS! I SHALL BORROW THE POWER OF THE TRUE GODS TO THOROUGHLY EXPOSE YOUR FALSE CLAIM TO DIVINITY!"

Well, all of that self-righteous boasting was useful for more than making phase lords drunk on their own ego. They inadvertently revealed valuable intelligence and confirmed many theories.

Of course, that was assuming that they spoke the truth.

Given the Protector of Karnak's position within the Red Cabal's hierarchy, it did not seem likely that he was speaking in error.

This confirmed that the Red Cabal had responded incredibly quickly to the rise of superdimensional mechs.

The native aliens recognized the threat of humans harnessing the power of superdimensional matter and came up with a quick but effective countermeasure.

Dise believed that the Protector of Karnak may have been part of the first batch of phase lords that was assigned to test whether his new toys could withstand the power of human superdimensional weapons.

The current result should definitely please the Red Cabal!

No longer would phase lords and phase whales foolishly expose their enormous true bodies, trusting that their enormous transphasic flesh alone would be able to resist anything the human false gods could throw in their direction.

Before the First Sword Mark III could close in for another attack, the Protector of Karnak rushed forward first!

Dise's Saint Kingdom immediately tried to press onto the formidable true body of the jureg phase lord, but its sheer mass along with disturbingly effective protection offered by his alien superdimensional armor made it difficult to produce any significant results!

The Protector of Karnak lashed out with two glowing claws that threatened to snap or at least cut into the waist of the First Sword Mark III!

The ace mech's electric wings swung and enabled her to dodge to the side. At the same time, the First Sword struck with the Decapitator, seeking to block the closest claw.

Another eruption of spatial ripples spread from the point of the contact!

The superdimensional armor that covered up the claw received another small cut mark, but this one was shallower than the one before.

The First Sword needed to put more momentum and energy behind her sword attacks, but it was hard for her to disengage when the Protector of Karnak continued to dog her heels!

Dise soon found out that her ace mech was actually faster and much more responsive than her opponent.

Yet whenever her ace mech successfully created a bit of distance, the Protector of Karnak activated the phasewater organ that enabled him to blink through space!

There was no warning. There was no obvious energy buildup. Dise could only rely on her intuition to quickly orient her defenses in the direction the greater phase lord appeared.

What made her life even more difficult was in some instances, the Protector of Karnak launched a salvo of high-yield transphasic missiles immediately after completing his instant displacement!

Dise had to rely purely on her intuition and her read on her opponent to predict this threatening move in advance.

She had learned her lesson this time. Dise no longer sent out her sword fey to intercept the missiles.

Her ace mech instead accumulated a bit of sword energy in advance and hastily swung the Decapitator in a fast sweep, sending out multiple rays of sword energy that accurately intercepted the missiles and forced them to explode in advance!

Since her sword energy attacks remained in her Saint Kingdom, they fully benefited from her willpower. There was no instance where her response failed to stop the warheads.

As the First Sword Mark III continued to collide her Decapitator against the empowered claws of the Protector of Karnak, Saint Dise began to smirk.

"TO BE ABLE TO TELEPORT SO CLOSE TO MY BATTLE PARTNER WHILE HER HIGH-END SPACE SUPPRESSOR IS ACTIVE MUST BE EXHAUSTING TO YOU. TELL ME, HOW MANY MORE TIMES CAN YOU REPEAT THAT BLINK ATTACK? ALSO, HOW MANY MORE TRANSPHASIC MISSILES DO YOU CARRY?"

The jureg greater phase lord did not lose his rhythm even as the remaining 25 sword fey harassed him from the rear and sides.

The sword fey formed simple formations that grouped 3 of them together before striking the Protector of Karnak's superdimensional armor from different angles.

Most of the strikes managed to penetrate a single layer at a time, but there were occasions where they failed to leave a mark.

This happened whenever the Protector of Karnak activated a phasewater organ that empowered that particular armor section. The blue glow significantly strengthened the spatial attributes of the superdimensional material, enabling it to resist attacks from other superdimensional weapons a lot better!

All of this delayed the time the First Sword would be able to breach the greater phase lord's armor.

As long as the ace mech was able to create one big gap, Dise was confident she could finish off her opponent!

Yet just before she was about to lock her greatsword against those armored claws, Dise suddenly pulled her ace mech away!

The electric wings propelled the First Sword to the side and rear just in time to evade the giant pillar that plunged into her Saint Kingdom and almost threatened to collide against the machine!

The Endless Stomach had made his move!

The greater phase lord had attempted to play subtle and lingered in the distance.

Though he had waited long enough for Dise to become a little too fixated on the Protector of Karnak, she was not stupid enough to ignore this massive threat entirely.

Her companion spirit had been keeping a constant eye on the Endless Stomach. The moment he did anything notable, Respa had already warned Dise in advance!
