The Mech Touch novel Chapter 7342

Chapter 7342: The Coincidental Counter

Morale across the remaining human defenders surged after witnessing the spectacular performance of the recovered ace pilot.

Saint Rosa Orfan may have disgraced herself by losing control over her psyche in the middle of a battle, but she had fully redeemed herself now that she had come to the rescue in the nick of time!

As soon as the Riot Mark III severed the stolen superdimensional plasma halberds from the Ixith Goliath, the monster posed no realistic threat to the ace mech anymore.

Unlike the other combatants on the battlefield, happened to be the only full superdimensional ace mech around.

Sure, the Dark Apostle happened to be clad in high-grade superdimensional raiment as well, but given the serious battering it had received, the leader had been unable to exploit this advantage effectively against this opponent!

The story was completely different for the Saint Rosa Orfan.

She was a genuine champion. She had been honed and tested beyond all reasonable standards. She had built up her spearmanship step-by-step until she developed a unique style that perfectly suited her dynamic if haphazard approach towards combat.

Her willpower, though far from perfect, surpassed that of Ves and the Dark Apostle countless times! She possessed the awesome ability to distort reality to literally give her an advantage in many ways, from moving faster to spreading destruction across her entire domain.

Combining all of that with a cutting-edge mech frame whose raw performance exceeded that of all of the Rubarthan ace mechs on the same battlefield, the sum total of all of these advantages resulted in an absolute disparity in the final phase of this lengthy and exhausting engagement.

Every exhausted soldier felt jealous and gratified that Saint Orfan decisively took over their final burden.

Perhaps the Riot Mark III may not have been suited to counter endless swarms of weak but persistent voribugs, but against single enemy champions, the D-mech was clearly in its element!

Ves could finally rest easy now that his latest and greatest work finally fought the way he intended it to perform.

"This is why I chose to investigate the Goliath Hive." He said through Blinky’s form. "It is the only group of voribugs that can give Saint Orfan a stage to perform at her best. There were many twists and turns in this battle, but from the moment the Goliath Hive committed to investing in the Incubator, I already had a feeling that it would end this way."

The Dark Apostle did not look so happy at how events unfolded up to this point.

His mood was a lot more complex. Unlike his mech designer self, the leader of the Phase Lord Department had hoped that he and his men would have made a better first impression on the battlefield.

Unfortunately, their lack of adaptation against an enemy as different as the mutated voribugs cost them greatly. Two more Ur-Titans had died as a result of his overconfidence and rash strategic decisions.

Though he regretted the loss of two strong and capable subordinates, he believed that the Ascended Giants would ultimately learn from their mistakes.

At the very least, this heavy result should have curbed their ego and made them a lot less eager to strive for independence.

After all, if just a single Level 8 Goliath could inflict defeat on them, how could they possibly have the capital to set up an independent empire in the dangerous Red Ocean?

While the Dark Apostle thought about how he should handle the setbacks suffered by the Ascended Giants, the Riot Mark III continued to dominate the Ixith Goliath.

Although Saint Orfan had been distracted for a significant period of time, she was not ignorant about the threat posed by this powerful alien opponent.

She had already received a dense information package that summarized all of the important pieces of information that the humans had discovered so far.

They highlighted the transformed Goliath’s reaction speed, judgment, fast regeneration and abundant vitality.

The condensed briefing also contained brief speculations about the distributed intelligence and the mechanism behind the Ixith Goliath’s strange ability to generate stolen resonance.

She processed all of that information and put it to the test.

The results were evident.

The Riot Mark III circled around the larger and relatively more clumsy Goliath.

Every so often, the machine thrust its tier 3 Destroyer spear forward, striking a resonance-empowered blow that inflicted far greater damage than what it should have produced.

The exoskeleton of the Ixith Goliath was actually not that difficult to penetrate for an ace mech.

What was truly troublesome was its large scale and abundant biomass.

A superdimensional weapon was completely overkill in terms of penetration.

The tier 3 Destroyer spear was therefore a much more suitable armament, especially when used by a machine like the Riot Mark III.

With a perfectly matched key resonating material in the form of Terran Destroyer Amplification Material, Saint Orfan was able to amplify and expand the destructive potential of her main weapon.

She just had to refine her technique.

With every strike, the ace pilot became a little more proficient in channeling destructive energies outwards.

Saint Orfan consciously shaped her Saint Kingdom in a more offensive direction.

There was no need to prioritize defense.

The Ixith Goliath was not fast enough to land a hit on the Riot Mark III.

Even if it managed to land a claw on the ace mech, the latter’s Chaos Armor could completely withstand an errant blow.

The only danger that Saint Orfan needed to take into account was the remote possibility that her opponent would suddenly envelop her machine and surround it with crushing biomass in every direction.

Although she was confident that her new D-mech would be able to handle this scenario and tear apart the Ixith Goliath from within, it would be an insult to her skill to allow this travesty to happen.
