Chapter 427

/*unedited*/

The lush trees covered the whole ground making visibility in the area hard and limited. But the shaking of the ground is foretelling that there are heavy objects moving within the vicinity. The tense feeling in the surroundings is making each and every person inside the area jittery and at the edge.

The arena was silent as the audience watches with bathed breath while two groups of metallic humanoid figures carefully hunted each other on the battlefield.

This is not a game or an exercise but a real-live battle using live ammunition. One mistake and it can cost the pilots of each humanoid mech injuries. Although it would not cost them their lives the pain they would experience is real and would be agonizing.

"Sector 1 is clear. No enemy here." A pilot said as he checks around the area.

Since the coast is clear, the pilot calmed down his tensed body. He is currently inside a 2-meter-tall mech, although the mech is a bit faster than the larger ones, their armor is a bit flimsy and weak. So he is not that confident of the mech's capacity to withstand bullets.

Bang!

A loud sound woke the pilot up from his stupor and suddenly found himself appearing in the pilot waiting stand in the outer part of the arena where other members of their crew are watching and waiting.

He was still disoriented at what happened. But then he discovered that his hands are actually burned.

Arrgghh!!!

"Medic! Come here!" one of the personnel immediately called.

Although the man is okay and was not hurt, since he is wearing a normal jumpsuit it was not enough to protect himself from burns caused by the large caliber bullets and the eruption of the mechanical parts of the mech.

"What happened?"

"How did that mech gets destroyed?"

"I saw it! There! One of the small silver mechs is a sniper."

The audience began to clamor at the situation. When they saw a mech being destroyed everyone immediately became worried about the pilot inside. But when they saw the screen showing the condition of the pilot who just had minor burns, everyone was astounded.

Now they realized that this is one of the safety features of the battlefield. It would not cause a pilot's life but of course, minor injuries are still possible.

Suddenly a loud cheer erupted within the crowd.

'Damn it! One of us was taken out! Be careful there is a sniper.'

'How can they do that? This whole place has zero visibility?'

'Stupid… our mechs are heavier than theirs of course they can detect the sound.'

The clamoring of the pilots on the radio began to echo. Even the audience stops their cheering upon hearing this as silence envelops the area once again.

"Nice one brother Shin." Park Jiyong said as he saw one of their enemies disappearing from the roster in his display HUD.

Since radar doesn't work in the arena they cannot detect their enemies, so every pilot would have to rely on their instinct and fast reaction.

'Jiyong, I will change my position. I can see two mechs walking towards you. Keep low… I'm coming to assist.'

"Yes, brother Shin… Can I… Can I try to take them on in close combat?"

'Are you sure? If you are confident, then go. I will try to assist you.'

"Roger that! Hehe…" Park Jiyong excitedly sneaks as he let his mech crawl on all fours.

Suddenly his mech changed its metallic shine and turned brown as if it became like a stone.

"Damn! That was cool…"

"Look at that, although I can still see that it is a mech, I think the other pilots would have a hard time seeing that."

"Wait look at the movement of the other small mech… isn't that really fast… I mean it's doesn't move like a mech but a human."

Those who are watching are now dumbfounded at seeing the situation in the battlefield arena, especially when Shin Jiao and Park Jiyong began to encircle their clueless opponent.

"Damn, this is cheating!" shouted Lin Qintang in the VIP viewing lounge.

"Haha… Mr. Qintang, you can't say that… in the first place, they are using guerrilla tactics against your more powerful and heavily armed mechs." A man on the side said.

The man is actually a military officer so Lin Qintang kept his mouth shut. Although he is stronger than most people in the room, he felt something odd upon entering the stadium. This is because he could not exert any of his Qi inside it. It's like he is being suppressed while staying in the area.

Inside the arena, Park Jiyong can now see the two mechs closing in on his location.

When they were at close range, his mech suddenly sprang up from the ground.

"Ambush! Fire at will!" cried the pilot inside the bigger mech.

Bratatat! Bang! Bang!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The loud sound of heavy weapons being fired echoed through the arena. It immediately toppled many of the trees and rocks in the surroundings, turning them into debris.

Smoke began to rise up to the air as two mechs threw everything they got at the location where Park Jiyong's mech appeared.

The smoke covered the area and visibility is almost zero. But the mech has their own special vision as they stop firing and began scanning their surroundings which is now full of debris.

'Did we destroy it?'

'Haha… I think we obliterated that guy. Not even the pilot can escape that.'

'Are you stupid? Don't let your guard…'

The two began to talk on their radio, but all of a sudden, the pilot of the bigger mech stopped speaking.

'Hey! Are you there? Hey!' the pilot of the smaller mech shouted on the radio.

The dust and black smoke are still thick and the visibility is limited, so the pilot in the smaller mech began to panic. But as a soldier and a pilot, he followed his instinct and began to move to make his way to the outer part of the area where it is clear.

"Come out!" he suddenly shouted as he once again scanned the surroundings.

He had a hunch that his companion is already out.

Suddenly, he saw a silver figure rushing out of the dust cloud with a blade in hand.

"Damn you! Die!" shouted the pilot as he pointed his large rifle on the rushing mech.

Bratatat! Bratatat!

He squeezed multiple shots towards the mech, but because of the speed, he is unable to keep the large moving figure on his sight.

Although there are bullets that would luckily scr.a.p.e through the armor of the mech, it was not enough to cause it damage.

Then the mech piloted by Park Jiyong suddenly twisted its torso and suddenly sliced the mech in half by its waist.

Boom!

The mech erupted after being cut in half.

"Damn that was cool!"

"It's like watching a great swordsman in the battlefield fighting against giants."

"I love you! Park Jiyong!"

"Park Jiyong! Park Jiyong!"

The crowd cried in excitement as they witnessed how Park Jiyong ended the two mechs in a cool way. The execution of the movements and the way he sheaths the sharp sword back to its hilt made everyone look in awe of the mech which can move like a normal human being.

Meanwhile, from the shadows, the last remaining mech already had Park Jiyong on his sight.

'Hehe… Do you think you've already won? Die you stupid b*stard!' the pilot shouted inside the c.o.c.kpit while grinning upon having the mech of Park Jiyong on his sight.

He has been watching the fight a while ago and was actually stunned at the nimbleness of the mech. Although the mechs they are piloting is able to walk and do many humanoid movements, but they are sluggish and slow. Hence they have to adapt to its speed in their practice for the whole week.

However, the mech they are facing is on another level. Hence he knew that the only way to win is to do an ambush.

All of his weapons are hot and his sight is already locked onto the mech of Park Jiyong.

"No! Get out of there!"

"Don't just stand there! Run Park Jiyong!"

"Why is he just standing there?"

The audience wanted to tell Park Jiyong to escape but of course, they couldn't as communication from the outside is unable to interfere with the barrier.

The pilot squeezes the trigger in anticipation as he savors the taste of his first victory against his opponent. But suddenly, he found himself having his vision blurred and when his sight came to, he is now in front of the crew members of his team who had a dejected look on their faces.

When he turns his gaze he can see his teammates on the bed with burns and injuries on their bodies. Then he was woken up by a tinge of pain on the side of his face where blood slowly trickled down as there was a small cut on his head.

"Medic! Medic!"

The crowd on the stage erupted in glee as they saw what happened.

"They won! That was cool! That was really awesome!"

"I love you! Oppa!"

"I love you Park Jiyong, oppa!"

Cried all the audiences as they cheered at the two remaining mechs on the battlefield. The fight was not that long but it gave everyone a satisfying experience.

Suddenly, Central's voice echoed through the stadium and declared the winner of the first stage.

Then the mechs of Shin Jiao and Park Jiyong exited the battlefield.

"You did well on your swordsmanship out there… Congratulations…" Shin Jiao said while patting Park Jiyong's shoulder after the two alighted their mechs.

"Haha… I have a good teacher."

As the two went out of the garage, Park Jiyong saw a beautiful woman running towards him. He was a bit taken aback and when she flung herself to his arms his heart almost jumps with joy.

"You were awesome!" Marie cried as she hugs Park Jiyong excitedly.
