The Mech Touch novel Chapter 7326

Chapter 7326: Harchul Goliath

The Riot Mark III made a powerful impression on the battlefield.

Saint Rosa Orfan’s debut instantly rejuvenated the surrounding defenders.

Many mech pilots and other soldiers had long longed up to ace pilots, and this time was no exception.

Even if the sight of the Riot Mark III generated a moment of apprehension within their hearts, that did not stop them from admiring its unstoppable advance!

From the moment Saint Orfan chose to channel her new demonic side, the ace spearman mech became the star on the battlefield.

Its performance readily overshadowed that of rival ace mech fielded by the Rubarthans.

Although the ace mechs of a former first-rate superstate were not weak by any means, they lacked the superdimensional superiority that enabled the Riot Mark III to completely disregard pretty much any attack launched by the mutated voribugs.

Yet it was her offensive prowess that truly made a difference on the battlefield. Outlasting the voribug race was never a good idea.

As time went by, Saint Orfan clearly grew more proficient in channeling the power of the Middle Demon.

The Riot Mark III continually released more energy. Through the shaping of its Saint Kingdom, much of this power did not go to waste. Instead, the impassioned ace pilot made sure to draw out more strength upon the moments of contact with her enemy.

Multiple Level 7 Goliaths struggled to withstand her unexpectedly fierce aggression.

The entire quadrant turned into an arena where the Riot Mark III methodically hunted down the toughest and more formidable megavoribugs.

After finishing off the Korcho Goliath, the Riot Mark III proceeded to hunt down the high-level Sudhar Goliaths, Ekstrom Goliaths and even the rare and recently introduced Harcul Goliath!

The Sudhars and Ekstroms failed to last more than a couple of minutes against the Riot Mark III.

Their melee combat capabilities were not weak, and their defenses were usually good enough to last for at least 10 minutes against most junior ace mechs.

Yet in the face of a superior machine such as the Riot Mark III, none of them managed to put up any effective resistance.

Even the latest Harchul Goliath failed to leave a scratch on the Riot Mark III’s impervious Chaos Armor!

This was remarkable as the Harchul Goliath was a scavenger strain. Its strength partially relied on the high-quality alloys salvaged from the battlefield.

Whether it was debris taken from damaged warships or mechs, the Harchul Goliath possessed the uncanny ability to process and fuse the materials into its highly malleable body structure.

This caused the Harchul Goliath to resemble human mechs more than most!

With their patchwork armor plating and stolen mech weapons, the Harchul Goliath’s combat power was largely reliant on the quality of its stolen goods.

While most of its equipment was not great, the Goliath in question did not place too much value on its salvage.

Whenever the defenders managed to destroy or overcome the scavenged gear, the Harchul Goliath shamelessly disengaged from battle and sought to maneuver around the battlefield in order to scavenge more human-built debris!

Sometimes, the Harchul Goliath did not even have to make a move. Other voribugs took the initiative to deliver salvage directly to the megavoribug!

Suffice to say, the Harchul Goliath might not possess enough strength to crush its opposition like the other melee Goliaths, but its tenacity and ability to make a comeback was superior to that of other strains!

Unfortunately, the new Goliath had met its match this time.

When the Riot Mark III charged straight at the Goliath that loosely resembled a classical mech, Saint Orfan grew a lot angrier all of a sudden!

"INSECT! YOU DEFILE THE SACRED FORM OF MECHS! FOR THAT, YOU DESERVE DEATH!"

Mech pilots tended to be a proud sort. Any successful pilot developed a sense of ownership towards their profession.

They hated battle bots for trying to imitate what they considered to be their exclusive preserve.

To see an alien race attempting to mimic the power of mechs affronted far more people than Saint Orfan!

If not for the fact that the imitation was merely skin-deep, the Harchul Goliath would have attracted a much fiercer counterattack!

As it was, just the Riot Mark III alone was enough to teach it a lesson.

The ace mech’s strengths just happened to counter the Harchul Goliath a lot better than other targets.

The resonance and hatred-empowered tier 3 Destroyer spear punched straight through multiple layers of salvaged armor plating.

The Harchul Goliath previously compensated for its lack of energy shields by stacking multiple sheets of salvaged armor plating on its body.

While this provided it with enhanced protection, none of the transphasic hyper armor plating lasted long enough to halt the incoming Destroyer weapon!

Even if the tier 3 Destroyer spear was not a superdimensional product, the myriad of energies empowering the already potent Terran polearm was still overkill when employed against regular modern armor plating!

Once the spear managed to punch deep into the relatively soft and less resilient internals of the Harchul Goliath, the weapon proceeded to spread a large amount of destructive energies.

Empowered by the true resonance as well as the burning hatred of a trapped demon, the power of chaos and destruction, the Harchul Goliath practically disintegrated from the inside!

"FILTH."

Saint Orfan subsequently dismissed her opponent. Even if it was still clinging to life, too much of its internal organs was doomed.

The Harchul Goliath’s flexibility came at the cost of resilience. It possessed less redundant organs than the other strains. It remained invincible so long as it could keep absorbing attacks with its salvaged armor plating. Once an attack managed to overcome this troublesome routine, the megavoribug collapsed like a house of cards.

The Goliath Hive clearly needed to iterate the design of its latest Goliath strain a few more times before it was rounded enough to competently deal with adversity.

In any case, Saint Orfan already had her fill. Her mutating ace mech already surged away in order to hunt down her next prey.

As the Riot Mark III continued to rampage across the quadrant, the Goliath Hive clearly struggled to come up with a countermeasure.

"Hmph."
