Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 502 501. The opponent suddenly changed players during the fight, right?
The battle was about to break out, and the opponent didn't even give Cypher much chance to react - it rose again, and the dense and perfectly targeted energy shots were truly terrifying.

Cypher had to sprint around it on the ground, occasionally sprinting backward to avoid being burned through by the pre-aimed beams.

After a series of beams of light, the machine had slowly risen to mid-air. Cypher really couldn't hit it from this distance, so he could only flee in such a panic... But this was only temporary.

No weapon can output continuously for a long time, just like the opponent's data-free body. Although it has a surging and seemingly infinite energy beam attack, it will eventually overheat and need to be temporarily cooled.

The machine said nothing after starting the fight, and Cypher was too lazy to talk to it. It suddenly transformed into a high-speed form in mid-air and suddenly whizzed past. The sudden sonic boom was really a bit hard to bear.

Cypher's machine had to temporarily avoid the attack, allowing it to soar in the sky while dropping one thing after another, which should be cluster bombs, to the ground.

The weapon shone brightly, and it looked like it was not a physical object. Then, Cypher felt as if his body had been hit hard by something, and he staggered and almost fell down.

The nozzle kept working to adjust its posture, and Seifer jumped back and forth on the ground to dodge, so he was not hit by the airdrop attack. When he turned around, the guy was back to a place a little distance away, preparing for a long-range attack again.

If I don't think of a solution, I will definitely be exhausted to death by this guy in this place.

So Seifer immediately adjusted his posture and quickly approached his opponent under the attack of the continuously radiating energy beams.

The whistling wind occasionally brought clouds of misty dust, which blocked the vision a little like a curtain. When the target body seemed to be shooting step by step and slowly rising, it was found that Cypher... also flew up!

Although it seems outrageous, don't forget that tracked feet have various attitude adjustment nozzles, and some of them are large thrusters designed to allow the body to stay in the air for a short time.

Bipedal, quadrupedal, and even backward-legged creatures can take off, so why can't tracks?
And you don't need to fly too high. If you free fall in the air, you will just become a target for the enemy - so, just reach the shooting range!

The enemy obviously didn't expect that an organism would rush up despite the possibility of self-injury. It continued to shoot as usual, leaving a large number of ablation marks on Cypher's body and even melting through the armor. At the same time, its own alarm system began to work.

The shoulder-mounted artillery was deployed, the siege mode was loaded, and a ball of fire suddenly exploded on the shoulder of the tracked body that was still sprinting upwards. Under the effect of electromagnetic acceleration, the solid projectile slammed heavily into the body of the alien body.

The rising posture suddenly changed, and the opponent fell in a somewhat embarrassing manner. At the same time, the two shotguns in Seifer's hands fired, causing its falling trajectory to change slightly. Then, it rushed towards the opponent rapidly under the propulsion of the remaining nozzles.

In the howling wind, the machine tried hard to adjust its posture and return to the sky, but Cypher had already approached it.

This kind of machine, which combines firepower, deformation and lightness, has no energy protection of its own. It would be extremely difficult for it to recover after being hit by live ammunition!
Miss Nana suddenly warned: "Be careful, I think it seems to have stopped struggling."

Without hesitation, Seifer changed his propulsion posture to a backward spray, from propulsion to reversing. The pressure at that moment made even Miss Nana, who was under protection, utter a bad groan.

At the moment of retreat, the machine suddenly lit up with an ominous, rapidly expanding circle of dim red light. It continued to expand and stopped just before catching up with Cypher.

Then both of them fell to the ground together. After the sweeping light burned the ground, Sefer rushed forward again.

This time, the thing finally didn't react and was knocked to its knees by the reloaded shotgun shells. Then there was a routine impact, and then the 'long spike' was fired out of the barrel!
The sound of metal twisting and tearing spread throughout the venue. Under Cypher's swift, accurate and ruthless attack, the familiar red light that only appeared when a machine was damaged flowed out of the machine.

Seifer immediately pulled back, stood where he was, ejected a cooling fin, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Without any outside assistance, your observation skills are so meticulous. To be honest, I'm a little surprised, Nana." "Hehe~ It's great to be able to help the commander, but in this case... if this enemy is defeated, is the mission completed?"

Theoretically, yes, Cypher nodded slightly. The noise in the channel meant that those guys had not yet caught up or passed through the wall.

Miss Nana blinked and suddenly warned, "Wait a minute, Captain... the energy flowing through that machine seems to be reversing."

Reverse... huh?

Cypher immediately accelerated the reloading process and, after cooling the Spike, jumped back a little. At the same time, the machine suddenly flashed twice, and then a beautiful circle of dim red light spread out, like an electric discharge.

He jumped up immediately, avoiding the attack of the light circle and saw it expand and then shrink. Then the machine that should have been pierced through the core slowly stood up.

"Uh...ah, this feeling, I really miss it, the feeling of having a physical body. The guy across from me, you really are not an ordinary person. Tell me your name."

A man's voice changed to another. Seifer didn't react at first, but Miss Nana said immediately, "That voice belongs to that man. He's the head of the entertainment company!"

It took Sefer two seconds to think of such a person. From his tone, it felt like so many years had passed.

"Not talking? That's fine, it's just some trivial thoughts of an organic being—so, since you woke me up, it means the guy in front of me is troublesome and can't be completely relied upon by the program, right? Haha!"

I feel like my personality has changed a bit. After thinking for a while, Seifer suddenly replied: "Independent mercenary Red Crossbow, mercenary level not yet available."

"Red Crossbow? You said your name is Red Crossbow?!" The tone of the machine suddenly became intense.

"Red Crossbow Arrow, Red Crossbow Arrow... Hahahaha, huhuhaha Red Crossbow Arrow, it's actually you--" His tone gradually became crazy, but then a mechanical voice played at the same time.

'The instance sentiment has been detected to have exceeded the control limit, and the overflow data has been deleted.'

"...Kaah, huh... Since you're Red Arrow, I'll have to treat you well. Long time no see, Red Arrow. It's a pity that it's difficult for someone like you to join the plan."

The Riddler who always plans plans, Cypher was a little impatient and just pushed forward, allowing the two sides to get closer.

The opponent gracefully stepped back slightly, then said in a leisurely tone, "It seems you don't understand the gap between us... Experience the feeling of defeat due to the generation gap, and then disappear in this storm."

As he spoke, the device that had been locked tightly behind the machine and used to continuously emit light beams suddenly detached from its mount... and floated behind his machine.

Magnetism? No, it should be...

As that thing moved, all the flying units, a total of six long column-shaped flying units, flew up and roared towards Cypher!

It's a fucking drone, or an unmanned fire control unit. Although I don't know how it flies, its combat effectiveness must be very strong.

But this kind of thing definitely has very weak protection!
