The Mechanical Body of Lin Yuan suddenly materialized!
It was mere inches away from the sniper!
The entire process was incredibly swift!
In fact, in that brief moment, the clash between the two adversaries was exceedingly rapid. If it weren't for Lin Yuan possessing the Ghost Title and activating his invisibility, his fate would not have been any more optimistic than those pirates he had recruited!
At this moment, it was Lin Yuan's chance to counterattack!
Roaring in his mind, the Giant Blade swung forward with a force that seemed capable of leveling mountains, aimed directly at the sniper who had no time to evade!
Although, at a distance, long-range snipers were almost synonymous with death on the battlefield. If one side lacked a sniper of equal caliber to suppress or did not have a powerful Heavy Shield Defender, they would undoubtedly be crushed by the opposing sniper. This was why Lin Yuan's ten formidable pirates had been wiped out in an instant!
However, snipers also had their weaknesses—close combat. Once engaged at close range, the consequences were rarely favorable.
In truth, it shouldn't have come to this. The e5-level Mechanical Warrior had rushed forward in search of Lin Yuan, who was also a Ghost Mechanical Warrior. This led the sniper to advance, believing he could control everything with his strength!
...
In a flash of lightning, the sniper had no time to dodge; his Mechanical Body was nearly cleaved in two! Even his shield failed to provide any protection; Lin Yuan's strike was terrifyingly powerful!
Yet unexpectedly!
This blow did not completely kill the sniper!
Suddenly, a transparent shield reappeared on his Mechanical Body. This was not an ordinary shield but one formed by heavy iron Meta-Magnetic Waves, offering superior defensive capabilities. Simply put, even if Lin Yuan struck again at this moment, he might not be able to finish off this already severely injured sniper.
"You—fell for it!"
At that moment, a chilling mocking voice echoed from the distant E5-level Mechanical Warrior, and almost simultaneously, a terrifying blade of light sliced through the air!
On the other side, the E-Class Mechanical Warrior also charged in for an attack!
It turned out that this was all part of the E5-level Mechanical Warrior's plan. Among the three of them, the sniper was the easiest target to eliminate, so they lured him here to better draw Lin Yuan out of his stealth mode.
What a clever scheme!
In that instant, Lin Yuan found himself facing a deadly situation. Even if he could immediately enter stealth mode, he wouldn't be able to escape the furious strike from the E5-level Mechanical Warrior!
However, Lin Yuan was not at all flustered; in fact, he felt a surge of excitement. The reason was simple!
It was Heavy Iron Magnetism!
During his one and only Monthly Assessment, he had collected a significant amount of Heavy Iron Magnetism energy, but he had never found an opportunity to use it because it was incredibly precious. It was high-grade and not something one could easily utilize. To put it simply, it was like giving an ordinary Earthling a liter of gasoline. They could come up with all sorts of uses for it, even turning it into gasoline pizza or a luxurious McDonald's lunch. But if you handed them a nuclear warhead, they would be completely lost.
Lin Yuan was in a similar situation. He hadn't figured out how to utilize the Heavy Iron Magnetism energy yet, and with the Year-End Exam approaching, he had almost forgotten about it!
But in that moment, the Magnetic Shield released by the sniper became Lin Yuan's lifeline!
Without hesitation, Lin Yuan's Mechanical Tail shot out—not to attack the sniper but to wrap around him. Then he propelled himself forward as if trying to take cover before his impending doom.
The distant E5-level Mechanical Warrior watched with cold amusement. They had previously agreed to let the sniper deliberately expose himself to lure Lin Yuan out of stealth mode.
The reason was that the sniper possessed a very valuable Magnetic Shield, which was incredibly formidable; even armor-piercing rounds from a Heavy Sniper Rifle struggled to penetrate it. So at this moment, even if Lin Yuan self-destructed his Energy Engine, he wouldn't be able to harm the sniper.
However, just at that instant, everything changed. Lin Yuan bizarrely embraced the sniper, and from him erupted a deep blue light that visibly merged with the sniper's Magnetic Shield. In the end, it transformed into a shield protecting both the sniper and Lin Yuan!
"This is impossible! How could you possibly possess core Heavy Iron Magnetism energy?"
In the furious roar of the E5-level Mechanical Warrior, his violent attack struck the Magnetic Shield. Although his assault was incredibly fierce, it only managed to weaken the Magnetic Shield by less than half.
However, what was even more terrifying and bizarre was that Lin Yuan had already pierced through the completely injured sniper with his Mechanical Tail, killing him instantly! Then, he calmly stored the destroyed Mechanical Body into the Five-Dimensional Key Space.
The E5-level Mechanical Warrior was truly dumbfounded; this lethal situation had been resolved so easily.
He knew exactly what was happening. The Magnetic Shield was indeed rare and possessed formidable defensive energy. However, Heavy Iron Magnetism essentially belonged to a type of Magnetic Field, just purer and more powerful. Thus, similar forces repel each other while opposite forces attract. The core of the Magnetic Shield released by the sniper was Heavy Iron Magnetism!
If it encountered another Heavy Iron Magnetism, it would uncontrollably merge and approach. Of course, if the opponent's Heavy Iron Magnetism was weak, it would be harmless and could even be counter-controlled.
The worst part was that Lin Yuan possessed a greater quantity of even purer Heavy Iron Magnet Core energy. This allowed him to seize control of the Magnetic Shield, resulting in that terrifying and bizarre situation.
In fact, this scenario could have been avoided. There were many experts in Mechanical City; how could they not find a way to counter it? The reason lay in the fact that all Training Bases prohibited bringing higher-level items from outside. The sniper's Magnetic Shield had been smuggled in with great effort, thus it was only considered a low-level item, which is why Lin Yuan could take advantage of it!
However, at this moment, Lin Yuan would not rely on the Magnetic Shield to continue fighting. Although it was powerful, he feared it would not withstand another ferocious attack like before. Therefore, he immediately decided to escape!
As he fled, Lin Yuan released all the dozens of drones he had assembled earlier for a suicide attack against the E5-level Mechanical Warrior. Taking advantage of this momentary distraction, he swiftly switched to his Third Combat Form and turned around to operate his Energy Engine at full speed to make his escape.
There was no choice; he could kill the sniper and also defeat the E-Class Mechanical Warrior, but he absolutely could not kill that E5-level Mechanical Warrior who also possessed a Ghost Title—he understood this very well.
Fortunately, with the most significant long-range threat eliminated, Lin Yuan felt much more relaxed as he fled.
Although the E5-level Mechanical Warrior was furious, after dealing with the dozens of suicide drones, he realized that Lin Yuan had already escaped several dozen kilometers away. While this distance wasn't too far, he couldn't catch up immediately and had to consider that this was enemy territory; if there were any high-level reinforcements from the opposing side, it would be troublesome.
Thus, he wisely gave up on pursuing but viciously announced over the public channel: "That brat from Ninth Training Base, if you have guts, leave your number! If I don't kill you next time, we Hurricane Knights will disband! Listen carefully; I am Hurricane 1090, number fsa445611. You bastard, have the guts to leave your number!"
Lin Yuan certainly wouldn't respond to such foolish provocation. However, Hurricane Knights sounded familiar; if he remembered correctly, there had been a Mechanical Knight named Kaka from the Kaminski Family in a reconnaissance team of Ninth Legion back in that alien sector. It seemed he had run into an acquaintance.
With this thought in mind, Lin Yuan responded with a mocking laugh over the public channel: "Ha! So it's those fools from Kaminski Family! Listen well; my name remains unchanged—I'm Titan 1109! If you have what it takes, come catch me!"
"Dammit! Damn it all!"
The E5-level Mechanical Warrior cursed angrily while switching to long-range firepower, unleashing a barrage from the Energy Cannon System at the retreating Lin Yuan.
However, despite the impressive range of this long-range Energy Cannon, capable of reaching hundreds or even thousands of miles, its accuracy could not compare to that of a true sniper. It merely became dazzling fireworks in the dark expanse of space.
At this moment, Lin Yuan no longer responded. He overclocked the Energy Engine and sped toward the Main Base. He was not yet in the safety zone; if there were any hostile targets or bugs ahead, he would still be in danger.
Fortunately, this time Lin Yuan had good luck. He made it back to the Pirate Alliance Main Base without encountering any mishaps.
Only then did he excitedly head to the Quartermaster, for although he had lost ten top-tier pirates this time, his gains were quite substantial.
First, during his hunt against the Wandering Insect Tribe, he had already earned over sixteen thousand points of Pirate Alliance reputation thanks to those ten elite pirates, so he was not at a loss at all.
Then there was the reward from Big Head after killing that sniper. It was important to note that they were from opposing factions; killing wandering bugs would yield generous rewards, let alone defeating a more challenging enemy faction.
Moreover, it seemed that the sniper had previously taken down many members of the Pirate Alliance, which meant his bounty on their side was quite high.
In summary, after Lin Yuan eliminated that sniper, he received a total reputation reward of fifty thousand points! (To be continued...)
