Chapter 929 The Arrival of the Rock Angel
Chapter 929 The Arrival of the Rock Angel
"That's right, it seems you've been through something before you came here, haven't you?"
Bradman boldly admitted that he was becoming increasingly interested in both.
"Let's go to that tavern up ahead and talk slowly."
"So, uncle, brother, who exactly are you?"
The two elves and the robot immediately turned and walked towards Maple Leaf Tavern. Sai Xiaoxi and Gray Chestnut couldn't help but ask about Bradman's information out of curiosity.
"Just an insignificant loser who fled in defeat."
Bradman did not give a direct answer, his tone laced with self-deprecation, but he never actually delivered a coherent response.
"Why are your eyes closed the whole time, uncle... could it be..."
"Hmm... I've gone blind, but don't worry... some things are actually clearer to see without eyes."
It's a pretty classic design: the blind man can see the clearest, and the lame man runs the fastest.
(The name Bradman comes from the English word Blindman, which is a transliteration of the word for blind person. Many of the names of the monsters in the game are transliterations of the prototypes of the design elements.)
In a series of questions and answers, the two elves and the robot were soon seated in the tavern.
Sai Xiaoxi boldly declared that they came from another universe, thinking that no elf would believe him, but Bradman nodded, indicating that he was willing to believe it.
This inexplicable unconditional trust puzzled even Bradman himself, but his mind was his eye, and it was an eye that could not be deceived, so he did not change his mind.
Sai Xiaoxi continued to inquire about Bradman's background, but Bradman still did not give a direct answer, instead talking about the dangers of the Charlie Galaxy.
"The Charlie Galaxy is already in grave danger. If things continue like this..."
"Nun, what exactly happened to the guardians of this galaxy?"
"The enemy is relentlessly pursuing the whereabouts of the Spirit Awakening. At first, Lord Nuen remained silent, but the invaders continued to slaughter the innocent and destroy our sanctuaries one by one."
"Lord Nuen had no choice but to offer a condition: he would become a prisoner in exchange for the safety of the people."
"It was all out of necessity. It was because people like me were a burden to Lord Nuen that he had no choice but to resort to this tactic."
As Bradman spoke, a wave of self-blame and helplessness washed over him again.
"This place... will probably be affected soon."
"Weren't the terms already exchanged? Why?"
Bradman gave a wry smile.
"The enemy's mercy can only last for a short time at most; these cruel people who use sorrow as a pretext..."
Bradman couldn't bear to continue.
Sai Xiaoxi felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
"Squad Ai, they're the ones who got us into this universe. Was it all for the sake of awakening our primordial spirit?"
"what?"
"Have you ever heard of the Reverse Soul..."
Just as Braden and Sai Xiaoxi were about to continue their conversation, they suddenly heard the earth tremble and Mapu's cries for help.
"Aaaaaah! Help! There's a huge stone man!"
"Damn it, I didn't expect the enemy to be so fast!"
"Let's go, let's go take a look."
The two elves and the robot decisively rushed towards the source of the sound.
When they arrived, they saw a stone giant standing before them, relentlessly destroying the town. This was none other than the enemy's latest artificial creature, the Rock Angel.
The Rock Angel is an Ancient Ground-type rock, over ten meters tall, with its entire body made of hard, gray-black rock. It is large, with its fists being stronger than its legs, and its overall posture resembles a giant ape, but no eyes can be found on its body.
Standing there, it resembles a human-shaped mountain peak. If you look closely, you can see many wall-like structures on the rock angel's body.
On the broad back and shoulders of the Rock Angel stand rows of gray-brown towers, layered upon each other as if carrying a castle, surrounded by tiny trees.
Even the Rock Angel's fists, which were constantly destroying the surrounding buildings, had a yellow wall around them, resembling a humanoid castle.
The appearance of the Rock Angel signifies a technological breakthrough for the enemy forces in the field of natural elemental alternatives to metal resources.
"This big guy seems different; it's made of stone... It looks terrifying..."
Sai Xiaoxi suddenly felt her legs go weak. This wasn't cowardice, but rather a resolute decision to follow her heart.
The aura of the Rock Angel and the Core Angel is far stronger than that of the Ring Echo, which even the three starter Pokémon couldn't defeat despite their combined efforts. There's no need to bring them out at this point.
Running away is the only option.
"Run!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Sai Xiaoxi grabbed Gray Chestnut and Bradman and instantly activated the Wind and Fire Wheels escape mode.
However, in the face of absolute power, even escape is a pipe dream.
"Rockfall impact!"
A muffled sound came from the Rock Angel's massive body. The next moment, it raised its arms high, and the power of the earth gathered, instantly turning into countless falling rocks that indiscriminately fell from the sky.
Before Sai Xiaoxi could even activate his 100km/h acceleration, a series of falling boulders blocked his path. His foot slipped, and when he looked up again, the massive body of the Rock Angel was already standing in front of him.
"Energy-focused impact!"
The power of the earth surged within the Rock Angel's massive body, vortexes rising from its fists as it slammed towards Sai Xiaoxi, Gray Chestnut, and Bradman.
Faced with the perilous situation before him, Bradman no longer concealed his presence, revealing the strength of his guardian deity's subordinates.
"Soul Clash!"
Bradman's black cloak billowed, and his mystical energy transformed into a shadow of a soul, colliding with the Rock Angel's descending fist. The two attacks were locked in a stalemate in mid-air.
"Take a break."
Hui Li immediately reached out and pulled Sai Xiaoxi out of the dangerous area.
The next moment, Bradman was defeated in this contest of strength and was thrown back a hundred meters.
"Secret Shadow Combo!"
Bradman formed hand seals, and a double casting ring, layered upon layered, slowly appeared.
The dual casting rings rotated like gears, shooting out a beam of light like a sharp sword. The beam of light dispersed in mid-air, transforming into countless beams that bombarded out from every corner.
"Restore the beam cannon!"
The Rock Angel shifted its attack target to Bradman, and small cannons suddenly rose from the castle-like structure on its back.
The power of the earth gathered within his body, and countless missiles made of rock burst forth from those small cannons, colliding one by one with Bradman's beams of light.
The first attack failed, and the battle continued, but as the Rock Angels shifted their targets, Bradman's situation gradually became precarious.
His injuries sustained during his escape had not fully healed, which made him somewhat less adept at dealing with the Rock Angels.
Faced with the Rock Angel's relentless attacks, Bradman could only rely on his keen mental insight to dodge.
