Chapter 130 - Battle Royale ( Part 3 )



It didn\'t take long before the other two Helios reached the boulders field. 

One of them even detected Wallace\'s Red-Eyed War Beast but chose to ignore it. Either because of it\'s command to join with the other Helioses or it just disdained fighting someone who can\'t even get out of the swamp.

"Whoa! It really ignored Wallace\'s Red-Eyed War Beast. It seems that it really prioritizes it\'s mission to unite with other Helioses." Nina said as she realized that the three automatons of their Montego\'s team was trying to converge in one side. 

"Hmm.. Impressive. The three automatons were probably with several program or magic structure capable of detecting each other. Apparently, due to the uniqueness of this battlefield, normal communication method would actually be hampered by the Mana Field surrounding it." Schneizel explained which made the audience admire these participants. It means that the participants of Montego anticipated or put in consideration this type of issue and made a communication method that would bypass this hurdle.

While the audience admired the Montego\'s team\'s readiness in all situations, the participants in Maja cursed within their heart. They also have a way to supposedly communicate with their teammate\'s automaton and they actually felt weird upon seeing that their automatons weren\'t finding a way to gather themselves. Now that it was explained by Schneizel, they could only grit their teeth and hope for the best.

\'To think they have planned this deep. Even my Fabled Ambush couldn\'t fight three automatons at the same time. What a bad luck.\' Khamir said as he resigned to his fate.

On the other hand, Wallace was calmly observing the battlefield. His automaton was probably seen as weak opponent as well and the danger level was most likely calculated as very low so it was ignored.

Half of the previous Turtleback Wolf was already covered by muds looking like a muddy stone that was in the midst of this dark and murky swamp so it couldn\'t easily be detected by other automatons that was passing by. It was due to the War Beast\'s struggle that muds was constantly slopping everywhere.

Up until now, half of the War Beast\'s leg was still deep within the swamp and once this automaton detected the Helios hurrying over to the other side of the field, it stopped it\'s movement and waited for the opponents further action. It couldnt just fire the laser without making sure it would hit the enemy. 

The War Beast may look like a good target practice for the enemies, but it has to make sure that it would not give them a chance to be locked on by it\'s laser cannon.

After a couple of seconds of scanning and detecting that War Beast posed no threat at the moment, the Helios left and fought together with it\'s other copies against Fabled Ambush.

Amazingly, the Fabled Ambush wouldn\'t fall down without a fight. It managed to use the boulder terrain to it\'s advantage to drag the fight. Although it sustained a lot of damage already, it was still struggling looking like it was waiting for reinforcements coming from it\'s teammates.

Jun Richardson had been keeping an eye on his Sword Slave, it is a half human and half praying mantis that has eight Mana Blades. The dark blue eyes it has was a special Mana Artifact he made that was called Mystic Eyes. 

Aside from his core Magic Structure, this Mystic Eyes helps the automaton have a better sense of it\'s surroundings. In this way, the Sword Slave could better utilize it\'s eight Mana Blades. After all, having a lot of weapons doesn\'t necessarily mean that it would have higher power. It still heavily depends whether it would actually hit the enemies.

"Oh, this Sword Slave is using his advantage in this mini forest. Well, the nearest automaton was supposedly Silva\'s Helios but it ran away and went to the boulders field." 

"Will it just wait there in the mini forest until a wandering automaton pass by?"

"Don\'t worry about that. As everyone knew, the battle would only last for 30 minutes. But aside from that, if there was only 20 minutes left, there would be some changes on the battlefield." Shneizel explained to Nina and to every viewers of the fight. He didn\'t explained further as only 3 minutes had passed, so a lot of things would still happen on this event.

"I see. That makes sense then." Nina replied as if she wasn\'t aware of it.

"Hold on... Look at Alina\'s automaton, it tried to follow the Helios that passed over her range of detection. It also went to the boulder field! Now there\'s 5 automatons in the field, it\'s about to get messy in this part of the battlefield." 

The newly arrived Winged Shadow Serpent by Alina from Virgan caught Schneizel\'s attention and Khamir smiled upon seeing this.

Jun Richardson turned his eyes at the match happening near the grassland, it was an automaton from Virgan and Maja.

He recalled their information as he believed that during this fight, his Sword Slave would surely detect it and most likely, his automaton would decide to benefit from this battle. 

Yes, it will most likely wait for the winner before joining in. It is one of his program in his automaton.

[ Virgan ]

[ Ratman: Designed by Olga Lesya. A half human and half rat with foldable wings. Possessed Wind and Earth spells.

Grade 8/10 ] 

[ Maja ]

[ Fabled Midas: Designed by Ilia Frost. A humanoid automaton with Fairy Staff as main weapon. Grade 7/10. ] 

"This will be tough. Olga was one of their best participant." Jun muttered after seeing the details and it seems that the two announcers were thinking the same thing. 

"Ratman! The highest graded automaton out there. How will the Fabled Midas deal with it?"

"Midas had been throwing spells to Ratman and dealing some damage. Ratman was unable to get closer. It couldn\'t send any projectile magic spells due to Midas\' continuous assault."

"This Ratman burrowed under the soft soil. Good strategy! Midas was now unable to hit it with any spell." This Ratman seems to be capable of burrowing underground or flying into the sky.

"Well, he may try flooding the hole?" 

As soon as Nina said that, the Fabled Midas cast a flamethrower within the hole. Although this may heavily damage the Ratman, looking at it\'s own mana usage, it seems that it would be a lot of trouble if the Ratman survived or haven\'t received heavy damages. Also, if another enemy was observing the fight, they might benefit instead in this battle.

The Ratman has Magic Claws and Iron Tail as it\'s weapons. The armor scales also provides decent defense against Magic and Physical attacks.

"Tsk... My automaton heavily focus on its magic attack power. It has good defensive spells but continuous attack on it and it will still collapse. It should\'ve reunited with my teammates\'s automaton. Sigh~ Even Ambush is having trouble right now." Ilia said as although her automaton looks like it\'s dealing a lot of damage with all fancy spells that Midas was throwing, there\'s still a limit on how much it could send. If it wasn\'t able to defeat the opponent before it\'s energy run out, then Midas could only try and run away to escape.

"Oh right, if I remember correctly, all automatons made by Virgan\'s participant has folded wings installed." Nina said upon seeing the wings that was carefully folded behind the Ratman. Although it has different design with Zhilina\'s turtleback wolf, it could still be identified if it was investigated carefully. Apparently, the automaton that the War Beast defeated also had a complicated folded wing on it\'s back but hadnt been used.

"True, I remember now. All of them created a folded wing indeed. But the Turtleback Wolf failed to activate it in time and got obliterated by the Red-Eyed War Beast." Schneizel nodded as he waited for the battle to commence.

***

As the Red-Eyed War Beast struggles to get out of the swamp, Wallace continued to watch Sheryl\'s Vital Thorn fight against the Fabled Atom. 

Multiple enhancements was cast on their weapons in hope to deal serious damage against their opponent. 

The stalemate between the two lasted for three more minutes before a critical mistake made by Vital Thorn has occurred. 

The supposedly Fire Claw cast by the Vital Thorn failed to activate, it met with Fabled Atom\'s Mana blade and got destroyed. Now, the werewolf automaton was missing a limb. It could only try to dodge as it lost its momentum.

"Oh no. What happened there?" Sheryl worriedly asked. She was unable to find a reason why her automaton failed to activate it\'s magic spell...

"Don\'t tell me..." Sheryl realized it herself.

"Magic Jammer." The two students from Mystic Gate Academy said at the same time. 

"So they really used one? But it\'s weird, their Mana Blade wasn\'t affected. How did it happen?" Sheryl was confused. Magic Jammer doesn\'t differentiate from friend or foe, but this one used by her opponent managed to only target her weapon.

Wallace had been using his Divine Sense to observe the battle so he managed to find the trick behind it.
