Death System 31 Chapter 30

"XB11." 

Muttering slowly, XB11 who had been on standby in the sky quickly understood his master's intention and shot at the levitating man. The man's eyes suddenly widened in shock and turned away as fast he could while crossing both of his arms as if he wanted to block something. 

Almost all the bullets were stopped by an invisible force in the air, but one bullet managed to slip inside the force field because he wasn't fast enough and penetrated his left waist. Face grimaced from the pain, he shouted, "Another enemy, he's not alone!" 

Shortly, he stretched out his palm to a direction where he felt the bullets came from. Clenching his fist as if grabbing into something, soon, XB11's invisible mode cancelled out from the telekinetic force; it felt like something had chained it, for it couldn't move in the slightest. 

While XB11 was still struggling in the air, Zuyuan sent a mental thought to all his doppelgangers to attack the giant named Zuko and the man who had a missile launcher on his hand. Stopping in their tracks to fight against the orcs, they immediately turned their body and dashed off to face their new opponent. 

The man was in the middle of adjusting his aim at the mech armor in the air while it was still struggling to free. As he was about to shoot, Zuyuan already closed in the distance between both of them and was about to slash the man into two. 

Zuko noticed Zuyuan's motive to sneak attack his companion while he was distracted. Quickly, he punched at where Zuyuan would be if he still continued his advance. Zuyuan's sense of danger rang out as he halted on his way and leaped behind. The giant's arm flashed right in front of him the next instant he jumped away as the winds blew when it pa.s.sed. 

"Tsk!" 

Clicking his tongue, Zuyuan attempted to quickly jump over the arm. But then, in his view the missile launcher target changed to Zuyuan as three missiles flew in his direction.

Making her of his speed one again, Zuyuan was able to dodged sideways quickly as the missiles exploded where he once stood and the stone arm too. Furrowing his brows, Zuyuan muttered, "Let's do this then." 

His Qigong that wrapped around the Estgard began to swirl in a strange pattern. Before it seemed like the Qigong was shaped like a sheath, this time it was two streams of threads flowing in two opposite directions at the same time. Swinging his sword to empty air in front of him, an unbearable screeching shriek echoed on the battlefield with him as the center. 

Soon, the man with the missile launcher, the stone giant, the man who flew in the sky felt an insufferable headache a.s.sault their mind. Feeling a vengeful spirit had come to claim their life and clutching their sharp, dreadful nails on their head and ears, everyone who happened to be in the twenty meters radius of Zuyuan held their head as they screamed in pain. 

But outside of the twenty meters radius of Zuyuan, the soundwave attack was reduced by half as the other orcs and goblins only felt migraines and nothing more. 

"Psychic abilities!?" said the man with gritted teeth as blood dripped down from his ears. Then, he swung his arm as XB11 flung towards Zuyuan while he flew higher, "b.a.s.t.a.r.d!" 

Leaping sideways to avoid the crash, Zuyuan half bent his knees as he gathered his strength and Qigong at the same time on his legs. Sword steady and aimed at the esper in the sky, he jumped as high and fast as he could. Flew to the air like an arrow unleashed from its bow. 

"c.r.a.p-!!" 

Before the man could raise up his force shield, Zuyuan's blade almost arrived on his chest. Eyes widening from the impending death, in the nick of time, his instinct used the power he had to pull his shirt to his right side. Making the sword's tip cut through his left shoulder.

Enraged, the man was about to retaliate before suddenly, Zuyuan swiftly pulled his fist and gathered all his might to punch his foe's chest. 

"Kah!" 

His punch blew the man away with the man's chest dented badly as he coughed out mouthfuls of blood, "You!" 

Stretching out his palm at Zuyuan, an invisible force heavily slammed Zuyuan's stomach, throwing and surprised the latter from the unexpected attack. 

"Russell!" 

The giant rushed at the man as his hand quickly caught the man's body. Opening his palm to check how the man fared, a blue laser beam shot through his left ankle and blew it up. 

"Kuh!"

Zuko kneeled down as he turned his head to seek where the attack came from. Fifteen meters away on his left, XB11 stood up from the crater on the ground while his right palm shone with blue light. 

"Retreat.. Take Ray and get the h.e.l.l out of here!" shouted the man called Russell while he was gasping for air. Looking at Russell and nodding to say he understood, Zuko's ankle regenerated shortly. 

Standing up with a boulder on his other hand, Zuko dashed towards XB11 and threw the boulder when he crossed half their distance. Destroying the boulder thrown at it, XB11 quickly activated the thrusters on its foot as it was about to counterattack with his laser beams. 

Swiftly picked up his companion called Ray, who was convulsing on the ground from the sound wave attack before, Zuko ignored a.s.sault after a.s.saults that tore his back and ran to the forest. He only focused on regeneration to maintain his giant's form as well as rushing away from the battleground. 

Watching its enemy run away without any intention to chase after them, XB11 only motionlessly floating on the air and stopped its barrage of attacks. Seeing that the opponents had already gone deep into the jungle, XB11 turned its body and flew to where Zuyuan fell down. 

After just one minute, XB11 found Zuyuan sitting on the ground with a pool of blood below him. 

"Master!"
