The two adversaries went from intense action to a standstill in the blink of an eye. Ophelia's split-second sword technique was not entirely ineffective. In desperation, the Holy Sword Finis pilot, despite hastily dodging to avoid a vital hit, missed the sword edge by a hair's breadth and accurately stabbed into the shoulder armor's auxiliary pulse device. The left thrust engine was immediately damaged, and amidst a series of flickering sparks, the external device thunderously detached.
But the situation for Holy Sword Finis was even worse. As the Holy Sword Finis pilot avoided a critical hit, they counter-attacked with a backhand sword stroke, which in an instant delivered a fatal blow to Holy Sword Finis, precisely slitting open half of its abdomen armor.
Many people in the Federation viewing area stood up, anxiety-ridden; this was too precarious.
It proved that in an equal match-up, personal talent could indeed make a difference. Perhaps Ophelia had a wealth of battlefield experience, having gone through countless battles, but Dilia, as a 12-star, could use her instincts to compensate for any lack of practical experience.
In that moment, Ophelia's eyes suddenly became clear... As the pilot of the Federation's super warrior Holy Sword Finis, how could she easily give up? This was nothing like an online battle; it was a direct confrontation to defend one's honor.
Accompanied by a gasp of surprise, Holy Sword Finis, undeterred by the injury, swept out with a sword, the mecha turning as it swung, with engines bursting aggressively once again. The mecha in the void spun like a top with itself at the center, creating a fierce whirlwind, and charged straight at the Finis.
Seeing the momentum, Dilia parried with her sword, attempting to mainly restrain and secondary attack. Competing against such an experienced warrior did not give her the upper hand. Her opponent's rhythm was clearly disrupted, and this was a good opportunity for her.
Clang! As the swords collided, Dilia immediately felt an enormous binding force pulling her entire mecha to lean outward. She clenched her teeth in secret, using the momentum to roll and avoid the attack.
Boom!
Before the Holy Sword Finis mecha touched the ground, it executed a second directional turn and, with a physical angle that was almost indescribable, twisted and then thrust out with a third sword strike. She had already prepared to follow up and change tactics upon making this strike.
Dilia was in danger!
In a split second, just as Holy Sword Finis's sword light was about to touch the Finis, Dilia swiftly drew back her waist and her leg joints spun wildly, launching a Thomas Cyclone Kick without retreat but advancing head-on, surprising Ophelia completely unprepared.
With a screech and a clash of steel, not only did the Finis's legs precisely avoid the sword's light, but the spinning binding force countered and locked Holy Sword Finis's single arm. Despite this, the previous mecha did not stop its action, instead, the force grew even stronger.
Sparks flew in the center of the mecha clash. Holy Sword Finis's single arm couldn't withstand the force of the legs and was flung away with a heavy impact, even the deformed half of the forearm twisted off by this binding force.
This should have ended it, Dilia thought, controlling her mecha to stand up quickly, but she had underestimated a warrior's awareness. Before her mecha had fully stood up, the returned Ophelia disregarded her condition, and with engines blasting, she flew toward the Finis like a bullet, her foot fiercely landing a kick in the waist of Finis.
The momentum of this kick far exceeded Dilia's expectations. Her eyes widened, neglecting the opponent's tenacious combat instinct. As the mecha was hit, Dilia's pretty face nearly pressed against the console, and the entire mecha slammed hard into a protective shield hundreds of meters away.
The scene was in uproar...
Although the condition of the Finis was fair, no one knew for sure how the pilot was faring. Of course, the injuries to Holy Sword Finis were no less severe, and both sides were deeply concerned for their own fighters.
Dilia's hair was in complete disarray. Ignoring the pain in her pretty face, she forcefully controlled the mecha to recover. In her eyes, a rare flash of fierceness erupted.
The biggest difference between a genius and an ordinary person is that in critical moments, they can demonstrate stronger operations than normal people. Otherwise, she wouldn't be known as a 12-star. At this moment, Holy Sword Finis had already picked up the weapon again, but Dilia knew that Ophelia's other hand was probably still not accustomed to single-handed sword control, so this was Ophelia's biggest weakness.
With this thought, the Finis burst forth with a gasp and headed straight for Holy Sword Finis's defenseless left hand.
Clang clang clang clang...
As the sword danced swiftly, the Holy Sword Finis was repeatedly pushed back. Ophelia was indeed not used to operating with this hand, but to think that a super warrior could only rely on one hand was a huge mistake. Her entire body could be considered a weapon.
While defending, all of a sudden, Holy Sword Finis's body leaned sharply forward, using its shoulder as a battering ram to slam into the Finis.
Dilia frowned lightly, taken aback by the collision. Had her opponent gone mad? Aside from the Revenge Shadow Rider and warriors capable of withstanding such hits, ramming their bodies was seldom seen. As a heavy armored unit, what did the Finis have to fear from Holy Sword Finis? Though surprised, she still had some reaction time.
Dilia bit her silver teeth lightly, and without hesitation, she faced the onslaught.
However, just as people thought the two would collide, Holy Sword Finis's movement suddenly changed. With an instant rotation that seemed like a feint to avoid the collision, it aimed for a weak point on the side of the body, typical of the experienced Ophelia.
But this time, her calculation failed...
"Stop playing smart, the same move won't work on me."
Charging forward, the Finis suddenly launched a knee strike, smashing harshly onto the Holy Sword Finis's desperately blocking arms. Following that blow, an elbow strike precisely targeted the back of Holy Sword Finis. From this angle, the Finis had the upper hand.
