My Players Are So Fierce

Chapter 2830 -944: Laowa Is a Man of the Scene! When Something Happens, He Really Steps Up

The Master of Hunting, at this moment, was wearing a power armor borrowed from Huggesen’s body. Its exterior was somewhat simpler than the War Marshal’s, but its angular and aggressive appearance indicated that this was a truly military-grade war creation made for actual combat.

With Murphy being an “Explorer of Pre-Era History,” he found it difficult to guess what occasions the Eden District Management Committee would use this blood-red power armor for?

According to Lord Paryen’s description, at the time of the great explosion in the Eden District, the so-called Star Realm colonization was still in the preparation and discussion phase and had not yet been implemented. This was evident from the prototypes produced by the Farwalker Company, and at least for the public at the time, war was not a commonly used term.

However, Dusk did indeed uncover a military supplies warehouse of this kind.

Their deliberate act of gifting the weapon to the Master of Hunting suggests that the number of these items in their possession might not be vast, but certainly not so scarce that they would be stashed away as treasures.

In other words, there were certainly some secretly advancing affairs in the Eden District during the Golden Era that even a powerful councilor like Lord Paryen was unaware of. The depth of intrigue from a millennium ago is demonstrated by this single event.

Murphy speculated that he might be able to learn some insider information from the King of all Curses, Widiya. After all, that guy didn’t look like a good person at all, and it’s widely known that villains often have a much wider network than it seems.

Of course, now was not the time to spend time considering these matters, especially when the first “Power Armor No-Rules Fighting Tournament” of this era was heating up.

Murphy leapt off a desolate mountain peak in the Swamp Forbidden Area, and as the War Marshal Power Armor spun through the air, it landed with a classic ground-smashing move against the enemy. He swung the “lance,” a rough combination of white wolf fangs and steel, with both arms and struck the Master of Hunting.

The opponent did not dodge or evade and took the hit head-on, simultaneously swinging a warhammer at the front of the War Marshal Power Armor.

With a “boom”, the warhammer, augmented by immense force, broke through Murphy’s defense, driving the warhammer into the outer shell of the power armor with a tearing motion.

“Huh?”

The Master of Hunting was dumbfound.

Was this thing really so fragile? How could it be breached with just one hit? Could it be that Murphy’s power armor was just for show from the start? But no, earlier Huggesen was solidly beaten on the battlefield at the Klim Fortress.

Before it could draw a conclusion, the shattered armor shell triggered and spewed a high-energy metallic jet forward.

It was like a scorching fist of fire that hit the Master of Hunting’s power armor arm. Although it couldn’t completely tear open the opponent’s armor, the high-energy jet managed to break through the opponent’s energy shield with a single strike.

The Master of Hunting, both shocked and furious, quickly retreated, raised an arm to glance over it, and saw a damage report in the power armor’s combat information center. The heavy armor surface was covered with fine tears, not only damaging the paint but also reducing the arm armor’s defense by 30%.

It had no idea what just happened.

But upon looking up again, it saw Murphy’s War Marshal Armament’s front section, which it had shattered, being refitted with new hexagonal blast reverse armor.

Upon close inspection, today’s War Marshal Armament indeed appeared “heavier and bulkier” compared to its last appearance, as if an extra outer layer of armor had been added on top of the power armor. The hexagonal explosive armor pieces covered every part of the power armor’s main body, with an armed backpack attached behind it.

This seemingly inconspicuous, turtle shell-like external component was actually the War Marshal Armament’s fourth enhancement component, the “Fortress” type Blast Resistant Heavy Armor module, which utilized forty-two reloadable high-energy blast reverse armor pieces to fully embody the principle of “defense as offense.”

While it may not be as brilliant as the other four modules in large-scale warfare, when it came to this kind of power armor duel scenario, the “dragon turtle shell,” specially designed for close combat, left the enemy with no openings to exploit.

Although the specific model and design specifications of the Master of Hunting’s power armor were unclear, based on the initial contact and the power armor’s predicted damage report, Murphy could determine that unless the Master of Hunting completely destroyed the blast reverse armor on his body, its own power armor would fail from counterattack damage first and be on the verge of scrapping.

Hmm, the blast reverse strap really does work well in any scenario! Just thinking responsibly, if this whole world could be covered with blast reverse straps, wouldn’t that stop all violent invasions against this world?

The only unfortunate thing, as reported by Mosna, the chief maintenance officer under Murphy, was that the blast reverse armor pieces of the Fortress component cannot be replicated with the mainland’s technology level, basically indicating a situation where the more you use, the less you have.

However, it was more than sufficient to complete the duel in front of them.

“Come on!”

Murphy raised a finger, making a provocative gesture by beckoning with it on the spot, then swung the lance in his hand in the style of Lord Paryen as he wielded the Holy Spear.

This item was a gift from Su, one of the few materials on the mainland capable of destroying origin alloy.

It came from a fang lost by Old Su Head during subspace combat. Although there was a previous instance where losing teeth indiscriminately led to disaster, Su believed that this time the gifted tooth wouldn’t be used for an evil purpose.
