Chapter 437 Damage Reflect

Deon turned back to the screen.

The energy beam was almost on top of Desmond’s ship.

There was no time.

There was no time for anything

He shut his eyes.

And then…

In the exact instant the beam was about to make contact with the ship’s hull, a blinding white light erupted from nowhere.

It was ten times brighter than the energy cannon, bright enough to make it impossible to keep your eyes open.

It unfurled like a transparent membrane and swallowed the entire ship whole in a single heartbeat.

The energy beam slammed into that membrane.

There was no explosion.

There was no penetration.

There wasn’t even a sound.

And then, in the next instant, the beam rebounded at ten times the speed it had arrived.

Rupert was still standing in his cockpit with a satisfied smirk on his face.

He watched his energy beam hurtling toward Desmond’s ship, and a deep, ugly satisfaction swelled up inside him.

He’d completed the Chief of Staff’s assignment.

That wretched farm, that woman who’d disgraced Fifth Military, was about to find out exactly what it cost to cross them.

The beam was almost at its target.

Rupert had already begun constructing the image in his mind. Desmond’s ship tearing apart under the cannon’s impact. The eruption of fire. Debris scattering in every direction.

That veteran and everyone else aboard would be reduced to ash in an instant.

And afterward, they’d call it an accident. A drill gone wrong. Operator error, the target flew into the line of fire.

Dead men couldn’t contradict anything. Who was going to prove otherwise?

His smirk deepened.

Then he saw the white light.

t–materialized directly on the hull of Desmond’s ship, blazing with an intensity that made his eyes water.

It hadn’t come from any cannon port. It wasn’t any–defense weapon he recognized.

It looked like… a transparent membrane, wrapping itself around the entire ship in a single instant.

The smirk died on Rupert’s face.

He watched his own energy beam crash into that white light.

No explosion.

No penetration.

Not even a sound.

The beam behaved as though it had struck an invisible wall and simply stopped.

Rupert’s mind went completely blank.

That’s impossible.

This isn’t possible.

That was a military–grade main cannon. It could punch through the armor of any ship in its class.

A broken–down farm ship couldn’t stop it. Nothing like that could stop it.

But what came next was even worse.

The beam hung there for less than half a second.

Then it rebounded at a speed that his eyes couldn’t even track.

Rupert’s pupils contracted to pinpoints.

He saw the beam. He saw it coming straight back at him.

It was moving too fast. Too fast for him to even get the word “move” out of his mouth.

“No!”

left his throat when the beam hit the cockpit’s viewport directly.

own reflection for the last time. His smirk was still half–formed. His eyes were stretched wide and His mouth hung open as though he had something to say, but no sound was coming out.

p, Deon’s pupils contracted sharply.

aw the white light appear, only one thought existed in his mind. What is that?

When he saw the energy beam stop, his heart skipped a full beat.

When he saw the beam rebound, every drop of warmth drained out of him.

“Rupert!”

His shout tore through the comm channel and received nothing in return.

The beam had moved too fast.

Fast enough that his voice hadn’t even reached Rupert before the ship had already…

A detonation hit the air like the world cracking open at its seams.

Deon watched the ship explode into a fireball right in front of him.

The cockpit took the beam’s full impact first, and the chain reaction it triggered ripped through the entire vessel.

The ship tore itself apart from the inside out, and the debris sprayed in every direction, catching the sunlight as it flew.

A figure was thrown clear through one of the ruptures, tumbling through the air, and vanished into the flames within seconds.

Then the second explosion hit.

The fuel bay went up.
