Sky-cracking Rider

The "Dragon King" Assault Heavy Armor began to rapidly expand in size. It wasn't just the addition of thicker armor plates and a more ferocious design; even the height kept increasing from 2 meters, to 3 meters, to 4 meters... until it reached 6 meters, ultimately transforming into a "Giant" Tactical Armor.

-5 Energy Points!

"Giantization" requires materials, not just an empty shell that's grown larger.

Combined with twenty times the gravity, the weight pressing down on the front end of the Longinus directly exceeded a hundred tons.

The leverage effect was coming into play.

Let alone those of the Heavenly Order and S-Class, even those beyond standard specs, when unable to exert force normally against a hundred tons of pressure, could not maintain composure indefinitely.

Like tracing a parabola, the two figures that rose into the air within the Hanhai Central Base, after crossing the river that surrounded half the town, plummeted towards the Gobi Desert about a hundred meters outside the barrier.

Thud!~

Like a meteor falling from the sky, countless fragments of rock and dust flew into the air, creating a large crater in the ground.

Chen Fei, who was unavoidably thrown into utter disarray within the enlarged "Dragon King" Assault Heavy Armor that enveloped him at the chest position, smashed into the ground with the acceleration of a hundred-tan weight, nearly knocked breathless by the impact.

The Longinus was pinned under the "Dragon King's" arm, and Chen Fei did not forget to wrap around even more of its length.

"Get lost!"

A thunderous shout penetrated Chen Fei's brain. A multitude of distracting thoughts surged out, uncontrollable, and his mind was in chaos.

In his dizziness, it was as if two voices were struggling within his thoughts.

One seemed to say, "Even S-Class and Heavenly Order cannot stop it, what makes you think you, a mere B, can put up a pretense?"

The other one appeared to say, "Yeah, right! It's so dangerous, there's no need to risk your life. If you lose Energy Points, so be it, maybe the Dog System will make an exception?"

The two voices were not fighting each other, but were jointly wrestling with Chen Fei.

This wasn't a struggle but rather a denunciation. Damn, this was truly bizarre!

While Chen Fei's psychic resistance was high, it wasn't entirely immune. A one-on-one invasion by psychic power beyond standard specs left him somewhat unable to cope. His head felt almost like it was about to explode, and the endless stream of distracting thoughts made it hard to concentrate.

The nearby Ability Users and conventional firepower were wary of intervening too hastily in the standoff between the two.

"Heh, wishful thinking!"

Chen Fei stubbornly refused to let go, and the shoulder position of the "Dragon King" Assault Heavy Armor began to glow red, with a small laser loader moving into position.

Just as he was about to activate it, his head buzzed as if struck by a heavy hammer, and the world momentarily fell silent.

The "Dragon King" Assault Heavy Armor had vanished from his body without a trace.

The Longinus and that exceptional enemy had also disappeared.

The surroundings were no longer the Gobi Desert; the ground was dark, smooth as a mirror, as if an alien landscape.

One by one, huge and grotesque figures filled his vision, surrounding him, dense and overwhelming, as if obscuring the skies.

The scales and spikes glowed with a faint light, the folded Blade Wings, the long tails like weapons, the sharp Fangs, the undulating bodies were undoubtedly living beings, terrifyingly real to the eye.

Giant Dragons!

And not just any, but the Metallic Dragons known for their ferocity as the "Dragon of Slaughter."

The numerous Metallic Dragons, each with a slightly different but equally ferocious appearance, were staring at him with their fissured, golden eyes, fixated on him.

Being firmly surrounded by a multitude of dragons left Chen Fei feeling somewhat unnerved.

But... oddly enough, there was no sound at all, the surroundings were utterly quiet.

If it weren't for the sound of his own swallowing, he might have thought he had lost his hearing. At the same time, he realized he could only turn around on the spot but could not move from where he stood.

That's right, Yilan!

He suddenly remembered the lively and adorable little female dragon.

Maybe he could say hello, get familiar with it, and not have to worry about being eaten or smashed into pulp by a swipe of a claw.

The best way to differentiate between Metallic Giant Dragons was to look at their Tail Spears and Crowns; nearly every Metallic Giant Dragon had unique tail and crown shapes. This was a little piece of advice Yilan had shared with Chen Fei.

But no matter how much he looked, he could not find the familiar shapes of the Crown and Tail Spear; they were all uniformly large adult Giant Dragons.

Yilan wasn't here!

That made sense. If it were here, it would surely be rushing to greet him.

Chen Fei asked the Metallic Giant Dragon closest to him loudly, "Um... Excuse me, is Yilan here?"

All the Metallic Dragons slowly opened their fanged maws.

"Roar..."

A wave of savage will surged forward...

"Roar..."

The scene before him blurred, filled with stars, the exceptional enemy, and the Longinus tucked beneath the arm of the "Dragon King" Assault Heavy Armor.

The roaring sounds were actually coming from Chen Fei himself; he was furiously roaring.

System: Ding! "Eyes of Tyranny" duration 15 seconds/15 seconds!

The previous 15 seconds were decreasing like a countdown.

Unbeknownst to him, the skill "Eyes of Tyranny" had activated on its own.

The outer appearance of the "Dragon King" Assault Heavy Armor had also changed along with it, with the Tactical Helmet now adorned with dragon horn crowns and the limbs transformed into beast-like claws, each sharp claw extending over a foot in length.

"What, what kind of monster are you?"

The exceptional enemy was visibly shaken.

Just a moment ago, as he thought he had succeeded, it was as if he had come into contact with something terrible. His psychic power, which should have penetrated effortlessly like quicksilver, were forcefully turned back, almost triggering a backlash.

Chen Fei mustered all his strength and shook his hand violently, releasing a strange force that once again burst forth, allowing Longinus to forcefully break free from the "Metal Shaping" entanglement of the "Dragon King" Assault Heavy Armor.

No one knew what material the four-meter-long legendary weapon was made of, but Chen Fei's "Metal Devouring" skill was completely ineffective against it, or more precisely, there was no reaction at all.

"Roar..."

With pupils transformed into shattered golden vertical slits, Chen Fei offered no explanation, only a roar filled with ferocity.

The severely deformed Broad Sword turned into a slender spike, with the two "Gravity" Magic Arrays that had been engraved on both sides of the sword vanishing on their own.

"Secret Technique... Fight to the Death!"

The "Eyes of Tyranny," superimposed with the Inherited Secret Technique of the Neanderthal tribe, didn't just cover Chen Fei's entire body with silver-glowing War Patterns; they also appeared on the surface of the proportionally enlarged "Blood Spike" and the "Dragon King" Assault Heavy Armor.

With only a little more than ten seconds of his high light moment left, he hesitated not a moment to play all his trump cards.

Decisive battle!

To live is to confront death!!

"Gosh! Is this a Grade B supernatural power user? Can't be true!"

Someone murmured in the distance.

Under the night sky covering the Gobi desert, a ferocious Giant covered in odd patterns and emitting dazzling silver light roared as it thrust its spear. Even an existence beyond the ordinary had to momentarily retreat from its edge, rapidly stepping back and apparently having no intention of entangling further, even putting aside the vengeance of the Divine Song for now.

The approaching Ability Users were deeply moved, sensing an unimaginably wild will emanating from that "Giant." No wonder the extraordinary mental force proved futile; it was as if they had kicked an iron plate.

The next second, the unrecognizable "Dragon King" hurled the slender spike of the "Blood Spike" ferociously at the enemy wielding Longinus.

The spear struck like lightning, instantly reaching the adversary's face.

Longinus accurately sliced into the tip of the "Blood Spike," and as it was about to flick it away, a figure flashed, and the "Dragon King" Assault Heavy Armor, covered in silver light patterns, appeared out of nowhere, with the "Blood Spike" spike firmly in hand.

Without either the Secret Technique "Fight to the Death" or the "Blood Spike," the technique would not be complete, and the slender, spike-shaped "Blood Spike" couldn't unleash its full power.

"Ah!"

Caught off guard, the enemy shrieked in piercing agony, attempting to fend off both the person and the giant Tactical Armor, along with the "Blood Spike." But how could another activation of 20 times the normal gravity allow his wish to be fulfilled? The immovable weight of 100 tons, not an ounce more or less, did not even quiver.

"Die!"

Chen Fei, with multiple trump cards piled up, matched the opponent in brute strength, completely gaining the upper hand in this head-on clash.

Turning stabbing into whipping, the "Blood Spike" transferred its immense impact force to Longinus.

Splat!~

The extraordinary being could no longer withstand it and sprayed out a mist of blood on the spot.

No matter how strong the mental force might be, it couldn't dissolve the pure violence of the real world.

The enemy, along with Longinus, was flung away, crashing heavily onto the ground before bouncing across the Gobi desert like a stone, with the momentum unabated, strike after strike.

With a single blow, you're sent a hundred meters away.

A gruesome scene unfolded.

"Ah!~"

The extraordinary foe let out a heart-wrenching scream, with blood smeared all over his face and body, and even his clothes were torn and tattered. When he frantically reached for the Longinus that had fallen beside him, he grasped at nothing.

Er!~

He turned his head, looking around in shock and disbelief.

"Tweet?!"

A tiny, pitch-black creature was tilting its head and looking right at him, their gazes directly meeting each other.

Before he could comprehend how Longinus had turned into a Little Bird, the small bird adorned with black feathers and a tiny feathered crown on its head shot into the sky with a flap of its wings, so fast it left behind a streak of light.

Pop!~

A loud bang echoed in the sky, and the streak of light vanished into the night in an instant.

"Longinus!!!!"

Desperately, the man extended his hand toward the sky, in the direction where the light had disappeared.

Thump, with a severe blow to the back of his head, as if struck by a "cudgel"!

"..."

Turning slowly, he saw the giant Tactical Armor, towering high, holding the slender spiky weapon that was no less lengthy than Longinus, and then, without mercy, swinging it down heavily. Everything in front of him went black...

After the ground shook violently from the impact, a shallow pit appeared, with a whole body embedded in the earth, twitching faintly.

Whether his brain was smashed out or not was uncertain; if not rescued promptly, death or crippling injury was likely.

"Eyes of Tyranny" duration 0 seconds/15 seconds!

Chen Fei's vision darkened.
