The Mech Touch novel Chapter 7187

Chapter 7187 The Respect of the Strong

Although the Dark Apostle had demonstrated the capacity to channel Worclaw energy in the previous match, his latest attack still caught the Fiery Axe by surprise.

The injury inflicted by the Dark Tooth did not impart too much darkness energy this time. The female Ascended Giant immediately ignored the lingering corruption spread by this small amount of darkness.

What concerned her much more was the massive trauma inflicted by the explosion of Worclaw energy.

Its quantity was not too much, but its potency was fairly high. The Dark Tooth managed to punch deeply enough to unleash a destructive blast inside her internal cavity, causing serious tears and bruising to her phasewater organs!

Their vulnerability to damage was much greater than her flesh and bones. Moderate damage was already enough to impair their functionality and disrupt their usage.

One of the consequences of this singularly powerful blow was that the phasewater organ responsible for reducing her mass operated considerably less effective than before!

The Fiery Axe was only able to lighten her mass by around 8 to 9 percent, which was much weaker than before!

Her other capabilities got affected as well. The wound debilitated her physical movements, making it harder for her to sustain her momentum if she wanted to regain her offensive rhythm.

Her eyes burned with unwillingness. She could still fight, but she was in a worse physical condition compared to her opponent.

There was an even greater issue at hand.

The Worclaw energy blast occupied her so much that the Dark Apostle had been able to retreat from her until he reached optimal throwing distance.

His next move became clear as everyone as he assumed a classical throwing stance.

The Dark Tooth — though chipped and damaged on the surface — was still intact enough to serve as an adequate throwing weapon.

Right now, the Dark Apostle held the spear near its butt where a familiar atlatl throwing mechanism had unfolded.

Darkness energy slowly got infused into the weapon, causing it to slowly prime itself for a lethal explosion.

Unlike the Unshakeable King, the Fiery Axe knew that she did not possess the defenses to withstand a direct or maybe even a glancing hit!

Trying to dodge the spear once thrown still gave her a chance to evade the deadly strike, but the problem was that she was unable to move as quickly as before.

Given how skilled the Dark Apostle managed to throw his weapon the last time, the Fiery Axe instinctively knew that it would have been a long shot to successfully evade the spear throw even if she was still in peak condition.

She could only draw one conclusion from this standoff.

For all intents and purposes, the Dark Apostle put the Fiery Axe into checkmate.

There was no other way to interpret this situation.

The Fiery Axe had run out of solutions. Her only way to avoid a massive explosion in her face was to stick close to her opponent and never let him get away.

She failed.

He got away long enough to achieve his win condition.

The only reason why she had not yet become overwhelmed by an exploding spear was because the Dark Apostle had yet to commit to the attack.

While he was technically priming his Dark Tooth, it had not yet reached the point of no return.

He could still retract the darkness energy and return the weapon to its dormant state.

The Fiery Axe couldn't help but calm down and relax. She stared across the void that separated her from the Dark Apostle and gazed at him with respect.

The first duel already convinced her that the challenger was a worthy fighter, but it was only now that she had locked weapons against him in person that she truly lost her will to resist.

She symbolically let go of her Fiery Axe, causing the weapon to gently float out of her reach.

Her stance grew less defiant and combatant. The fire energy that previously fueled her aggression went out as her companion spirit took the initiative to stop as well.

Her threat level dropped significantly. Even if she intended to deceive her current opponent, it would take precious seconds to relight her fire and pick up her weapon again.

This was more than enough time for the Dark Apostle to fully prime his exploding spear and throw it in her direction with great power!

By doing all of this, the Fiery Axe conveyed a silent message to her adversary.
