Tempest of the Stellar War

Chapter 1016: Mysterious Phantom

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Wang Zheng was surrounded well and good. What would he do?

He reacted almost instantly. As an Earth-rank fighter, how could he be slow?

Everyone thought that Wang Zheng had chosen the Slayer to slay. After all, he was Earth-rank. Even against four, even against IG kings. Marzu could do it, and Wang Zheng could as well.

But the Slayer retreated. Wang Zheng’s wind ability boosted the mech. The Slayer made an emergency turn, and escaped the killing formation of the four enemies.

All of them, including Di Maria, were a little surprised. They… had not expected Wang Zheng to run…

Those like Wang Zheng, Marzu, Olivios, they were the brainless rush-in-and-kill types. To retreat?

Clearly, they could not let the Slayer go. Even with wind ability’s boost, did he think they would let him escape?

On the other side, the Saruman Snake battle team’s four had met with the Phantom King, and Heracles’ Phantom King had no intention of dodging.

Mu Zhen knew what he had to do. On this stage, he represented the Tita people.

A Tita brave, faced with a non-human, the first race, the Atlantean. The highest intellectual tribe.

To the Tita brave, his will for battle was lit.

Ferocious wind ability, combined with the towering Giant mech, made it seem like an avalanche was rushing towards the Phantom King.

Takumi followed behind the Giant mech closely, prepared to act at any time. Oli and Lie Xin similarly prepared themselves.

Heracles’ Phantom King had not seemed particularly outstanding before. Compared to Marzu, he had not displayed the battle power expected. This had made Atlantis seem like one to pick on the weak and fear the strong. It had to have been their slim physiques. They were not tough enough. This was the way that humans sought to deal with Atlanteans.

Hong…

The giants’ tremendous Ability X could not make their Giant mecha agile, but could nevertheless pose a threat.

Imbued with tremendous Ability X, the huge sword cleaved towards the Phantom King. This horizontal sweep was filled with intense energy. A hurricane was whipped up, and this immediately affected any smaller mecha.

BOOM…

The Phantom King disappeared.

Illusion ability used!

But in that instant where the Phantom King appeared, there was a huge sound. Takumi’s Earthly Grizzly rushed over, aiming for the gap where the illusion faded.

The Phantom King’s ability was marvelous, but the moment its marvel was brought to light, there was nothing mysterious about it anymore. Borrowing Mu Zhen’s group wind ability, Takumi’s movements were quite ferocious as well. There was nothing much to guard against. All-out attack, even if he fell with the enemy!

The Phantom King’s greatest problem was that it had no energy shields. Runes had their uses, and also their shortcomings.

Hong…

Hong…

The savage Earthly Grizzly thundered towards the Phantom King. As an iconic member of White Tiger Region, Takumi lived up to his name. Under Wang Zheng’s shine, each member actually had their own abilities and specialties that made them qualified to stand on this stage. Perhaps they were not as flashy, but their abilities were definitely beyond question. They only did not shine because their opponents were equally fearsome.

BOOM…

Missed!

Takumi’s target was actually an illusion. But the problem was that Wang Zheng also understood the Phantom King very well. And as his teammates, Takumi and the rest would definitely not be taken in by Heracles’ performance.

Although slowed by a beat, the Giant mech had already sent a fist flying towards the illusion.

BOOM…

This fist hit something solid!!!

Heracles’ runic sword blocked the Giant mech’s huge fist. With a deafening sound, the ground fissured, a testament to the giants’ terrifying strength. The most important thing was that Mu Zhen’s punch was not a direct hit, but directed downwards, to prevent Heracles from using the energy to escape!

It was all about the details!

Who said that giants were all brawn and no brain?

But this was just the beginning. This punch created a huge rebound of energy which pinned Heracles. At the same time, the Overlord had already charged its Sky Rocket Cannon and had rushed towards the Phantom King.

From the left side, Lie Xin’s Flaming Elite Guard was already closing in. It was a beat slower than the Overlord. This was to prevent the Phantom King from making any other variations. Especially Heracles – the Saruman Snake battle team still gave their opponent due respect. Lie Xin did not believe that Atlantis would not have something up their sleeve.

But these layered attack approaches overwhelmed Heracles.

Everyone watched on, shocked. When… had Saruman Snake’s other members become so strong?

This synergy, this layering, this staggering, this judgment?

Zeng…

This was something only the top tier battle teams had!

This Saruman Snake had not just grown because of Wang Zheng. Each person was accumulating confidence and strength. They were grinding and training. They were growing and becoming even stronger.

They also had the belief in their victory!

Killing from all four sides!

Even if you were as godly as the Phantom King, you would still be completely cornered.

SHING…

The Overlord mech’s long spear thrusted out first. To be able to unleash such an attack while using the Sky Rocket Cannon was ample proof that Oli was the descendant of the Heavenly Overlord.

Just this move alone was enough to earn respect from many Arbiters.

The Phantom King had nowhere left to run.

All of the attacks arrived at the same time. Suddenly, the runes on the Phantom King’s hull flashed purple, and a black ball of light appeared.

All of the attacks were caught in the ball of light…

What… the hell was this???

Lie Xin’s all-out attack had clearly hit, but it seemed like it had hit an energy shield. But it was not an energy shield. Energy shields would rebound, but her attack on this black light shield seemed to sink like a buffalo in water.

Something was off.

Lie Xin felt as though her head had been hit by a truck. The world spun. She bit her own tongue savagely to clear her head, but it was too late.

Two Phantom Kings had already arrived. Their two runic swords cleaved at the same time. And that moment where her mental faculties were disoriented had lost Lie Xin her only chance to activate her energy shields.

BOOM…

Hong…

The Flaming Elite Guard exploded. Heracles’ choice had been very clear. Finish off the strongest, most agile one first.

The Overlord’s attack missed. The Phantom King’s shadow exploded. The mech immediately retrieved its black shadows and disappeared.

To appear in front of Takumi in the next instant. Takumi immediately opened his energy shields and shouldered forward. He wanted to lock down the Phantom King. But that beam saber with burning black flame immediately pierced his energy shields, cutting through the cockpit of the Earthly Grizzly.

The Phantom King seemed to have risen from hell itself. It disappeared again, and Mu Zhen barely had time to even turn.

But Mu Zhen was a genius from Tita. The wind was his protector, and he could feel any ripple. The Giant mech’s right arm swept out.

A bolt of black light flashed past. The right arm of the mech was sent flying. The Phantom King slipped past beside the Giant mech and split into two. One thrust a runic sword into the Giant mech’s cockpit, while the other charged at Oli.

Oli adopted the defensive stance of the Heavenly Overlord Arts. That runic sword, still burning with black flame, came slicing downwards.

Zeng…

Zeng…

The Overlord leapt up to meet it, blade to blade. The Heavenly Overlord was not afraid of the Phantom King. Besides, the Phantom King had already used consecutive attacks. It could not possibly still use energy to divide itself.

Overlord Shield!

SHING…

That black flame runic sword directly cut through the Overlord’s famous alloy shield…

And also cut through the Overlord mech

SHING…

The Phantom King disappeared, again appearing 10 meters away. The Phantom King, shrouded in the black flame, was terrifying.

What… was this…
