Tempest of the Stellar War - Chapter 500

Chapter 500: Battle of the Abyss

Translator: Abyssruler  Editor: Lucas

The abyss was the sacred ground of the people of Tita. At the same time, it was a place of nightmares. Every year, there would be Tita warriors who entered. However, no one was able to return alive. Legends had it that if one could enter the abyss and return alive, the person would become the Titan. Obviously, those who only hung around the entrance wouldn’t be able to become the Titan. Hence the area around it was desolate. Clearly, the people of Tita weren’t interested in living within these myths.

After travelling day and night for 3 days, Wang Zheng and Rara Durai had arrived at the abyss.

Practically speaking, Wang Zheng believed that there were various miracles within the universe. The reason as to why they were magical was because humans were still unable to explain these miracles with science. Every source of power could be explained. Obviously, those acts of gods that the people of Tita had been passing around might not be miracles in humans’ terms. However, these weren’t important. What Wang Zheng was trying to achieve was to help Rara Durai become the Titan. This would give a reason to the people of Tita to rally together.

However, when they arrived at the abyss, Wang Zheng truly felt a different sense of danger. He even had goosebumps. As for Rara Durai, he had clearly felt the stress and was in a state of heightened nervousness.

“Relax yourself. If you are using so much energy here, you would be depleted once you enter.” laughed Wang Zheng as he tried his best to help Rara Durai relax a little.

“Ada, there are devils in the abyss. Only those that win in battles against the devils could become the Titan.” It might be because of Wang Zheng’s presence that Rara Durai was slightly able to catch his breath.

Wang Zheng piloted the mech. At the start, he was still worried about the abyss being a swamp or something. If that was the case, there was nothing much he could do. However, it didn’t seem to be that case. It was just that the atmosphere was very chilly.

Yuan Qi of the “Wind” attribute was very concentrated here. It was overly concentrated to the point that one could get a headache just by being there. Besides that, there was truly a lingering sense of death. The name “Abyss” wasn’t an exaggeration. A normal person would definitely fall ill if he/she stayed in this place for a long time.

With the mech in front of him, although Wang Zheng was talking about being relaxed, his 5 senses were all heightened.

“Would killing the devil make one the Titan? How would the Titan look like?”

“I do not know about the details. The Elders had said that after killing the devil, you could get a weapon left behind by god and it allowed you to gain the ability to control lightning.

When Rara Durai talked about the Titan, the warrior blood within him started to boil and it seemed that he was no longer afraid of any devil.

Wang Zheng frowned. No matter how he saw it, it was clearly a story used to dupe the kids. What were devils? They were probably some monsters. No matter what one would say, the civilisation of the people of Tita would likely be considered to be rather primitive.

Clearly, Rara Durai wasn’t aware of the details. He just had to take things as they came. Wang Zheng still had a strong belief in his strength.

At the same time, the dangerous atmosphere had greatly excited the adventurous genes within him. At this moment, he had not noticed his own expression.

As the two of them dove deeper, the pressure they felt became stronger. The lighting became darker and the routes became more uneven. The key was that there were more and more large skeletal remains. Over the past thousands of years, no one knew how many people of Tita had come in here looking for the gifts of god.

Wang Zheng observed these large skeletal remains. Some of them weren’t from that long ago. It was clean and definitely wasn’t because of decay. This explained that the so-called devil should be some form of wild beast.

Wang Zheng unsheathed his titanium blade and said,” Rara, get ready for battle!”

Rara Durai held on to his huge sword tightly. The battle armour on him was able to give him some sense of security. However, he also knew that this battle armour would not be able to defend against the claws of the devils. This was because several warriors who had entered the abyss with the battle armour of the Lan Family had all failed to return.

Time waited for no one. As they moved deeper into the abyss, they had gradually entered a dense forest. Wang Zheng had always felt that they were shrouded in some shadows. It seemed that something was following them.

The Primordial Regression Technique started to circulate and his mental strength became more refined. It started to spread towards the surrounding constantly… there was a shadow moving.

The speed was so fast that it created wind. This wind wasn’t natural but was caused by the movement of the beast moving around.

It seemed that it had a large body.

The Tita Star was able to give birth to the giants and naturally there shouldn’t be a lack of giant beasts. There were such zoos within Lan Kao City but the strength of these creatures were ordinary. However, those beast in the shadows was clearly different.

Rara Durai’s whole body had tensed up. The instincts of the people of Tita had told him that the devil was just in the vicinity.

“Ada, the devil is coming.” Rara Durai had stopped moving.

Wang Zheng’s mech also stopped in his track. The engine also braked gently. The dangerous atmosphere around him had also started to become heavier. It was as though they were being stared at by numerous pairs of eyes.

Ceng…

A giant shadow leapt out from the dense forest. Rara Durai was too too tense and weren’t able to react. However, Wang Zheng had struck as quickly as lightning. A sliding rail was extended immediately and the titanium blade was thrown out instantly.

Wang Zheng had no idea what the thing was but had still chosen to deal a heavy blow.

Ceng…

A horrible shrieked sounded and blood was flying everywhere. A monster with a pair of meaty wings lay down on the floor. This monster was 70-80 metres in length and looked like a giant lion. On his forehead, there were even a green spiral horns. Sharp fangs were protruding out its mouth and its claws were shimmering in a terrifying and cold light.

At this point, the breathing sounds in the dark had become more intense.

Gradually, a low-pitch roar propagated across. It was then where the shadows dispersed and the two were able to look clearly in front of them. Rara Durai was dumbfounded. There were over hundreds and thousands of such beasts! They were densely packed and he didn’t know how many more of these beasts were hidden in the darkness.

What kind of Warriors’ Trial was this? It was a path to death with no return. If it was a one-on-one, the giants might not be afraid. However, if it was one-on-10 thousand, even if the giant was made of steel, he would had been chewed to death.

Wang Zheng wasn’t silly. He saw that Rara Durai wanted to charge forward after recovering from a temporary shock. He immediately shouted,” Follow me! Run!”

Oh damn. One would be an idiot to not run in this situation!

Rara Durai was in position after a long day and had thought that he would go on a killing spree beside his Ada. However, he had not expected this move.

Nonetheless, he instinctively followed behind Wang Zheng.

Boom…

Without saying a word, he threw a flashbang that was near the head of the mech out. This thing might not have destructive force but it was still enough to scare the beasts away.

As expected, the explosion sound from the flashbang was still able to suppress these shadow beasts. However, it was only able to do so for a short while. Soon, the beasts growled and leapt out and chased after the two of them.

As Wang Zheng ran, the assault rifles in his hands started going dakkadakka. Such primitive weapons could no longer be found amongst the humans. However, Wang Zheng was feeling like a lonely hero in those old movies. He had not expected that he would experience it himself today.

Rara Durai wasn’t having any other thoughts and followed beside Wang Zheng closely. Luckily, it was Rara Durai and not Shan Meng. Shan Meng’s movement wasn’t as agile as Rara Durai. He had not been slacking off during training during this period of time and was able to cover Wang Zheng to some extent.

However, these shadow beasts had no intention to stop.

Wang Zheng wasn’t just trying to flee aimlessly. With the landscape, Rara Durai and him would not be able to escape. They would have died from exhaustion just from running mindlessly.

As he retreated, Wang Zheng’s mental strength was trying to determine the movement and numbers of these beasts constantly.

Anyone who have experienced the S-Grade battle with Zerg would no longer feel fear towards monsters. On the other hand, Rara Durai might be feeling shocked or even a little fearful. However, for Wang Zheng, these monsters were only in a different form. During the pursuit, some of these habits of the beast would be revealed.

This was where Wang Zheng was scariest.

“Rara Durai, get ready to battle. Today, we would either die or you will become the Titan!”

“Ada, it would be my honour to be able to die in battle with you!” Rara Durai roared wildly. He had no intention to run anymore. The people of Tita were fond of trying their best and dying in battle.

Wang Zheng almost tripped. This brat really didn’t know how to speak. “Your brother is still a virgin, I can’t die yet!”

With a sliding step, the two of them had their backs facing each other. The shadow beast had not stopped at all and rushed forward. Instantly, there were over 10 beasts that pounced over.

Wang Zheng had wished that he had the Golden Wheel. However, the landscape here would meant that even if he had the Golden Wheel, he wouldn’t be able to maximise its potential. The Golden Wheel mech required a rather flat and open landscape and it wasn’t available here.

However, it was more possible with the new mech he currently had. He would had to relied on Zisu’s design and hope for that during the process of making the mech, they did not skimp on the materials.

Wang Zheng instantly forcefully controlled his mech to lunge ahead. The titanium blade was moving like a dancing flash of lightning. It seemed to looked more like a trailing shadow.

Without moving back at all, Wang Zheng had piloted his mech forward and went for the kill.

Once in battle, Wang Zheng was no longer an ordinary human. He was… a killing god!

As the amount of blood spurting around him lessened Wang Zheng’s knife in fact had started to move quicker and quicker. Only during battle could his innate abilities be stimulated and allowed him to become one with the mech quicker. The mech was family. At this moment, the human and the mech had a spiritual connection. He could keenly feel the changes in the mech.

One could say that G material and Super Gravity Energy Mineral were the soul of the mech. They allowed the mech and pilot to have a channel for communication.

In just a short time, over 10 huge and ferocious monsters had died to Wang Zheng’s blade. However, such battles weren’t able to scare away the monsters. On the other hand, the smell of blood had further excited them. More shadow beasts leapt out. Their meaty wings were vibrating. Although it didn’t allow them to fly at high altitude, they could accelerate in a low altitude and were extremely fierce.

The shadow beasts weren’t afraid of death but Wang Zheng was the real messenger of death.

None of the monsters was able to withstand Wang Zheng’s one-hit-strikes. The mech didn’t make any excess movement. Every form and consecutive attack was right on point.

Rara Durai was already totally in awe.

However, over 10 shadow beasts approached him again at this moment and Rara Durai was eventually able to react to it. If this continued, Ada would die from fatigue. Just when he was about to let out a huge howl to embolden himself, Wang Zheng exploded with a thunderous growl.

When compared with the shadow beasts, Wang Zheng looked more like a primitive beast.

Unknowingly, the heavy “Wind” attribute Yuan Qi had surrounded the titanium blade and the length of the blade had increased several over times.

Ceng…

A lightning-like object was slashed out. The beast shadows that were heading directly towards Wang Zheng stopped instantly.

The next moment, the bodies had split apart.

Wang Zheng was having a good time killing. He rushed ahead directly. The performance of this mech was better than he had imagined. Wang Zheng did not need its advanced weapon system but required a mech’s basic endurance and strength to be higher than average. The higher the better! This was something that Ye Zisu had thought about. It was just that she had not thought that this mech model would be used for battle. She had only wanted to build it for Wang Zheng’s and therefore had used the highest standards.
