258. Support-Type Shield Cannon

Proofread by Cloud Chip Cake

Bang——  

At this moment, KID’s Artillery, positioned on the middle level of a building, fired at the blue light screen. The Artillery fire shattered the light screen, but it quickly reformed again. The Artillery mecha changed directions and aimed at a light marker extending from a wall, but even with intense attacks, it couldn’t destroy the marker.  

【This light screen can’t be shattered!?】  

【Even Artillery attacks don’t work, and hitting the marker points directly doesn’t seem to be effective either.】  

【This is insane!】  

On the battlefield, within the blazing sea of fire, the blue light screen hanging in the air firmly blocked Sink’s path.  

You Su retracted his cannon and reminded, “It’s not a fixed-type.”  

“It’s not a fixed-type space; it’s a formation-type space.” Ying Chenlin immediately got You Su’s meaning. “This field is indeed troublesome.”  

“Damn, you guys are having fun fighting down there. I’m up here feeling the heat.” Ji Qingfeng spoke while running, “We haven’t even performed to the fullest yet, and my feet are already on fire. This place is a mechanical city damn it! They’re turning its metal into scorching iron plates 1.”  

Ying Chenlin looked at the series of deep dents You Su had created on the distant wall thoughtfully. “Did JIAZI’s Artillery escape?”  

“He can’t run, I’m keeping an eye on him.” You Su casually replied, “They’ve pretty much revealed their weapons. I’ll lure out the Artillery; what’s your plan next?”  

“They approached us very quickly after entering the battlefield. I suspect their Medical’s carrying an acceleration-type weapon.” Ying Chenlin looked up. “They miscalculated; we’re not afraid of fire… especially ability-based fire.”  

On the battlefield, after JIAZI’s Control used his crossbow to create a sea of fire, he quickly switched to another position and similarly dispersed the crossbow’s fire arrows near KID’s Guardian and Tank. With his rapid maneuvering and cooperation with JIAZI’s Medical, the entire Mechanical City street had turned into a sea of flames.  

“We’ve already sealed this area.” JIAZI’s Medical said, “We can only seal two battlefields at once, so we need to end this quickly.”  

JIAZI’s commander understood the situation. Despite being closely pursued by KID’s Artillery, he continued analyzing the field. Their Medical’s spatial lockdown weapon could only deploy 10 markers at a time to form light screens. Fortunately, the Mechanical City’s unique terrain made it convenient for them to set up their battlefields. As long as they could control two battlefields simultaneously, they could fully implement a positional warfare strategy within them.  

JIAZI’s Control said, “Leaving Lucy alone won’t be a problem?”  

“It’s no problem. The Enhancement Cannon needs teammates to be effective, and besides, her shield can’t provide full protection.” JIAZI’s commander said, “As long as our positional fire-based control is established, she won’t be able to protect her teammates.”  

“Lock down Sink and ignore Trace; focus on KID’s other mechas.” JIAZI’s commander was well aware of the power of KID’s two core mechas. “I’ll draw Trace’s attention, you two focus on Sink… prioritize taking down Yao and Yan first.”

The viewers felt their scalps tingle just from seeing the fire, let alone the fact that multiple KID mechas were inside such flames. Previously, they could rely on skill to evade the smaller flames. But now, with fire completely covering the area, as soon as they leave Lucy and Yan’s shields, all KID mechas would be affected by the fire’s burning effect.  

“Right now, KID has no way out. Their best option is to find a way to retreat.” The commentator said, “Their only water-attribute weapon capable of counteracting fire is in Sink’s hands, and Sink’s currently trapped in a sea of fire, with the light screen up above him not easy to break… If this continues, KID will only become more passive.”  

【The fire’s almost reached Yao’s feet.】  

【This is too difficult, this battlefield’s so restrictive! Yao can’t move freely at all!】  

【No kidding, they can only hide inside the shields to avoid damage.】  

【Lucy’s shield is weak too, it’s not a full-cover type. With fire all around, it’s hard for her to protect her teammates.】  

The JIAZI Medical’s special light screen weapon had the ability to block off space. The livestream viewers saw that he had already released ten light screen markers in a row. Four of them blocked Sink, while the remaining six were all placed around KID’s Guardian and Tank, completely sealing off both battlefields.  

Just as the audience watched this one-sided situation unfold, they suddenly saw another KID mecha outside one of the sealed battlefields. KID’s Control mecha had somehow jumped to the upper floors of a building and was running around the rooftops. To her left was precisely the sea of fire surrounding Sink. She suddenly stopped in place, seemingly waiting for something, staring straight in Sink’s direction.  

“What is this?” The commentator looked at the KID Control’s actions in confusion. “What’s she trying to do? Her Enhancement Cannon can’t fire from this angle. There are light screens below; she can’t help her teammates—”  

Outside, in the rest area, Wen Yi and Ke Lin looked up at Lucy’s movements and then down at Sink.  

Lucy was a coordinated action and support-type Control mecha pilot, who could always react quickly to provide timely assistance for her teammates. She had a strong sense of the overall battlefield, and she knew where she should be at any given moment. The fact that she was standing there now, without taking action, could only mean one thing.  

She was waiting—waiting for Sink’s move.  

At this moment, Sink, trapped in the sea of flames, moved.  

Sink fired a Deep Water Sphere in front of him, using its water ability to barely extinguish the flames ahead. JIAZI’s Control and Medical saw this, and were ready to apply a second stage of control at any time. But just as Sink’s Deep Water Cannon fired upward again, the JIAZI Control’s Fire Chain Cannon suddenly stopped.  

JIAZI’s Control mecha pilot’s expression froze: “Water can’t pass through the light wall—he’s targeting the light markers!”  

Sink’s Deep Water Cannon shot didn’t aim at the light wall, but struck a light marker extending from the light screen head on.  

Water enveloped the entire light marker, affecting the light beams projected by the screen. But it didn’t stop there—just as JIAZI’s two mechas moved to destroy the Deep Water Sphere, Sink swiftly fired two more shots.

The second shot wasn’t a Deep Water Sphere but a Freeze Round, which followed closely behind the first. The combination of the Deep Water Sphere and Freeze Round instantly froze the blue light marker anchored to the outer layer of a building. Then another Deep Water Sphere wrapped around the frozen surface. The light screen intercepted attacks from above while also blocking out half of their influence. As the light connecting the markers was affected by the special water energy of the Deep Water Spheres and ice, a gap appeared in the originally connected sealed space.  

JIAZI’s Medical mecha paused: “Not good, destroy the ice.”  

His light screens were sealed spaces formed by light energy, impervious to any attacks and not easily destroyed.  

Even when affected by control weapons, they could quickly recover.  

The JIAZI Medical mecha’s space sealing weapon formed light screens by connecting light markers. Destroying a single light marker would affect part of a screen’s function.  

【This works!?】  

【I almost forgot! Sink’s weapon also has a freezing effect, and he deliberately aimed off target to influence the ice’s refraction!】  

Suddenly, Lucy, stationed atop a high-rise building, switched out her Green Fire Shield. The moment her Green Fire Shield appeared, it immediately reassembled, mechanically extending in front of everyone’s eyes into a cannon with a familiar appearance. It was the very weapon that the audience had seen earlier in the maintenance area—Lucy’s actual replacement weapon.  

The commentator was stunned: “This is—”  

The weapons expert: “A transforming weapon?!”  

【The shield turned into a cannon!???】  

【Damn???】  

【I fucking knew I wasn’t seeing things earlier!】  

As Lucy’s shield transformed into a cannon, she instantly locked onto Sink’s position. Energy formed at the front of the cannon, and a special green fire energy blast shot through the gap in the blue light screen, hitting Sink’s mecha directly. Upon contact with the mecha’s energy port, the special green fire energy suddenly formed a small green fire light shield that rapidly spread, covering the surface of the KID mecha and isolating it from the surrounding sea of flames.  

【??? A light shield!?】  

【A cannon-shaped light shield!?】  

【No, it ignited the moment it touched Sink.】  

The weapons expert explained: “This is—a support-type weapon modeled after a Medical’s Energy Gun. It’s not a shield-type weapon; it’s a support-type weapon ah!”  

Covered in green fire, Sink completely ignored the fiery sea surrounding him. Using the isolating layer of green fire covering his entire body, he fully engaged his thrusters and dashed out of the JIAZI Control and Medical’s encirclement.  

“Damn!” JIAZI’s Medical mecha said: “Stop him.”  

How could KID’s Medical mecha allow them to intercept him? With a water-attribute weapon and the green fire, he moved through the flames effortlessly. As the green fire dissipated, another shot of green fire fell from above, renewing Sink’s immunity to damage.  

The green fire’s burn effect lasted approximately 5 seconds, but after 5 seconds, the next shot of green fire followed immediately.  

The KID Control mecha’s highly efficient charging speed was evident at this moment. Her seamless actions in renewing the green fire for her teammate continuously ensured Sink was covered in a strong anti-control shield.

KID’s Medical mecha, surrounded by green flames, pressed forward without hesitation, continuously switching to the Deep Water Cannon to block various incoming attacks from the front.  

【Unlimited endurance!?】  

At this moment, Sink had already broken through to the KID Tank’s position, and once again, the reformed Deep Water Cannon aimed at a high-altitude light marker.  

Using the same tactic, a slightly dim, dark blue Deep Water Sphere disrupted the light markers’ formation.  

As Sink moved, KID’s Control, Lucy, didn’t pause  her steps. She moved alongside him, and when Sink used the same method to obstruct the formation of the light markers above KID’s Tank, Lucy seized the opportunity and sent green flames through the opening, covering KID’s Guardian.  

The commentator: “KID’s Guardian has received damage immunity, he—”  

【Wait?! If KID’s Guardian breaks through, then isn’t the top side…】  

【JIAZI’s Stealth and KID’s Stealth just passed by this area, holy crap!】  

The KID Guardian’s exterior was enveloped in green flames, and he suddenly switched to another weapon in his hand. Without hesitation, he broke through the opening in the light screen above. Taking advantage of the time before the light screen reformed, the red-and-white mecha rushed out of the sea of fire and dashed to the upper floors of the buildings. Its thrusters engaged sharply, bringing the entire mecha to an abrupt halt right in front of JIAZI’s Stealth mecha.  

On top of the buildings in the Mechanical City’s  District A streets, two KID mechas intercepted JIAZI’s Stealth mecha from the front and back.  

The green flames on Lin Yao’s mecha disappeared. With a flick, a silver spear was leveled horizontally. “Da Feng, shift change!”
