Chapter 59: Class C Epic Beast

It was no exaggeration to call the Ancient Giant Falcon the overlord of the sky. Its entire body was covered in pitch-black feathers, and its wingspan was fully two kilometers long, making it as terrifying as the giant eagle in One Thousand and One Nights.

What was even more outrageous was that its methods of attack were not limited to its sharp beak and talons; a glowing unicorn horn, dozens of meters long, had grown on its head. This horn was like an anti-matter cannon, continuously pouring purplish-black energy beams onto the Galaxy Flight.

Each light beam possessed power ful penetrating power capable of piercing the protective force field of the flight. Soon, the Galaxy Flight became riddled with holes, looking as if it were about to fall apart.

If the flight’s anti-gravity engine had not had separate protective measures and had not been destroyed, the Galaxy Flight would have long since been pulled back to the ground by the gravity of the Black Prison Star.

A free fall from an altitude of ten thousand meters meant that surely no one on the entire flight would survive.

Even more tragic was that the only visible resisting force on the Galaxy Flight now was a Night Demon Mecha piloted by Lin Lei! It was only six meters tall; compared to the thousand-meter-class Ancient Giant Falcon, the difference was as huge as that between an ant and an elephant.

As soon as Lin Lei exited the Galaxy Flight, target information from the System flooded in. Amidst a series of dense streams of data, Lin Lei grasped several key figures.

“Physical Energy Level: 1564 Standard Energy Level. Single energy attack intensity: 190 Standard Energy Level. Entire body covered with protective energy, able to withstand attack intensity of 234 Energy Level. Special attack skill: Spherical Chaos Force Field!”

Seeing such insane data, Lin Lei sucked in a breath of cold air. The Night Demon Mecha could not even withstand a single attack from the opponent. Even if all output energy were added to the protective force field, it would be useless; he would still be instantly killed!

And its defense was so strong that it completely surpassed Lin Lei’s attack power. Even if Lin Lei poured in all his energy, he could not break its defense. This Ancient Giant Falcon could completely ignore the Night Demon Mecha.

This time, the Galaxy Flight was probably doomed. Lin Lei did not intend to fight at all. This was simply not a battle on the same level. Moreover, the most critical thing was that facing such a highly mobile opponent, the Galaxy Flight had nowhere to escape.

Unlike the Giant Dominator at sea, which the flight only needed to rise high into the air to avoid, facing the terrifying sky king like the Ancient Giant Falcon, the Galaxy Flight was like a bloated herbivore, basically in a position to be slaughtered.

“Captain Lucius, I’m afraid I can’t do anything this time. The Night Demon Mecha’s attack can’t even break the Ancient Giant Falcon’s body protection. I probably can’t even manage to distract it.” Lin Lei chose to tell the truth to this Orlantis Person, letting him prepare for the worst.

Just during this moment of hesitation, the situation of the Galaxy Flight became even worse. An important energy conduit was destroyed, subsequently causing a series of explosions.

Screams and cries rose and fell one after another on the flight, incessantly ringing in the ears. Presumably, even at this moment, very heavy casualties had already been caused.

Lucius’s hoarse voice reached Lin Lei’s ears: “Lei, are we really finished like this? You must have a way, right? Just like you killed that Deep Sea Giant Beast a few days ago. If an attack like that comes just once more, this Ancient Giant Falcon will be finished!”

Lin Lei had already seen what happened after he fell into a coma that day. The System was indeed insanely heaven-defying; it instantly consumed 30% of the energy that could have maintained the Night Demon Mecha for ten years, converting it all into that attack which was like a heavenly punishment.

Under that single strike, that Giant Dominator was completely dead, and Lin Lei’s Night Demon Mecha was also destroyed!

Lin Lei roughly estimated that the intensity reached by that terrifying attack was at least in the tens of thousands of Energy Levels.

This power was brought by the System, and Lin Lei could not figure out the method at all. He could use it, yes, as long as he activated Emergency Mode.

But the System was his final trump card. If he displayed it frequently, it would definitely attract the attention of interested people in the Galaxy. The System had implanted a suggestion in Lin Lei’s subconscious, placing the importance of the System’s confidentiality just behind the safety of the Host’s life.

In other words, as long as Lin Lei was not in life-threatening danger, the System itself did not approve of him using Emergency Mode.

In the current situation, Lin Lei piloting the Night Demon Mecha was clearly not threatened by the Ancient Giant Falcon; he could leave or stay as he pleased.

Just as Lin Lei was hesitating, a figure of light abruptly hovered beside him, and at the same time, the System’s alarm rang in Lin Lei’s mind.

“Alien brainwave intrusion detected, intercepted. The information carried is: ‘Are you a coward? Are you scared?'”

Lin Lei’s Night Demon Mecha had a full view, so he naturally saw the guy beside him. He let the System send back a message: “Are you Yan Qingming?”

On the Galaxy Flight, the only one who could communicate telepathically and speak to him in such an unfriendly tone was Yan Siyu’s big brother.

Yan Qingming, receiving the same telepathic response, glanced at Lin Lei with some surprise: “You possess telepathic communication ability, and also possess some kind of force field. If you didn’t claim to be an Earthling, I would suspect you are the illegitimate child of some Watcher Civilization warrior.”

Now Yan Qingming had completely changed his appearance. His body was shrouded in a layer of water-like green light, concealing his features. He held a two-meter-long glowing broadsword in his hand, looking just like a god warrior!

“My origin is not important; Earth is my home planet. Is that the Armor of Light from Ao Star on you? It looks very nice, but I wonder how powerful it is?”

Yan Qingming raised his giant sword, pointing the tip at the Night Demon Mecha: “Compared to the top warriors of my clan, there is still a big gap, but it is already enough to kill this Ancient Giant Falcon.”

“Then I will wait and see.” Lin Lei also wanted to see the combat power of an Aostarian in full condition; Yan Qingming’s actions suited his wishes perfectly.

But Yan Qingming shook his head and said: “I need your cooperation. This big bird is a Class C Epic Beast; its abilities in all aspects are not something I can deal with easily. I can kill it, but it can also kill me.”

“What do you want me to do?” Lin Lei asked. If the two of them cooperated to kill it, the System might give him a combat evaluation. Lin Lei was ready to do this.

Yan Qingming looked at the Ancient Giant Falcon tormenting the Galaxy Flight not far away. He didn’t even blink at the cries for help and screams on the flight, his tone still incomparably calm: “I only have one chance to attack. So, before I attack it, attract its fire onto yourself. You have to make its eyes see only you. Do you dare to go?”

“You don’t need to use the method of goading me. What you said is also the only thing I can do. The Night Demon Mecha’s attack is really too weak; it can only manage this much. So, you prepare, I’m going first.”

“Wait, don’t underestimate its speed because of its size. Be careful, I don’t want to see my sister sad.”

Lin Lei snorted: “Worry about yourself. I hope you don’t waste the opportunity I create for you!”

After saying that, Lin Lei’s Night Demon Mecha disappeared from the spot. When it reappeared, it was already several thousand meters away, right at the tip of the Ancient Giant Falcon’s horn.

Lin Lei slashed the Steady-state Photon Blade toward the horn without thinking; the time interval was less than 0.01 seconds.

But he slashed empty air. The Ancient Giant Falcon’s speed and reaction were indeed incredibly abnormal; it actually forced itself back a few meters in an instant, dodging the attack, and a counterattack came immediately.

The energy glow on the horn flashed, and a purplish-black beam shot toward Lin Lei.

Lin Lei’s Photon Blade missed, and he was startled in his heart. He instinctively flashed to the side, and the energy beam, which was enough to evaporate him, brushed past him.

At this moment, Lin Lei clearly smelled the scent of death, and his mind immediately became more focused than ever before.

His eyes began to redden with blood, and the whole world quickly devolved in his eyes, turning into simple three-dimensional graphics.

And the Ancient Giant Falcon’s horn became a point emitting piercing white light. From this point, countless lines derived, and the thickest one among them pointed to Lin Lei’s current position.

Combat Element Condensation activated, and Lin Lei grasped the target’s dynamics within one second!

Before the Ancient Giant Falcon could fire another energy beam, Lin Lei dodged with no time to spare. Once again, the energy beam brushed past him.

The Class C Epic Beast Ancient Giant Falcon could not imagine that this little bug was actually so troublesome. Anger rose in its heart, and the frequency of energy beam firing became faster and faster, even firing two or three beams at once, but Lin Lei dodged them all.

The Reaper raised his scythe again and again, preparing to harvest Lin Lei’s life, but returned disappointed time after time.

In Lin Lei’s eyes, the world was a world full of infinite possibilities. No matter how fast the Ancient Giant Falcon was or how dense the energy beams were, Lin Lei could use his almost predictive skill to find a way to survive.

20 seconds! The Ancient Giant Falcon fired nearly fifty energy beams, but achieved nothing.

Lin Lei’s figure was always near the Ancient Giant Falcon’s horn, rising and falling like a phantom amidst the beams, yet never falling.

Lucius, Annis, and the passengers of the entire flight all opened their mouths wide, watching the incomparably shocking scene in the air.

After a long while, Lucius closed his mouth and murmured: “He has become much stronger again. This is the second time I have seen this terrifying combat skill.”

The first time was forty years ago, when Lucius was still a teenager, wandering and adventuring among the stars. He saw it on an uncivilized planet. Perhaps the scene of those two fighting was not as grand as now, but the impeccable skills and terrifying destructive power brought the same shock to the teenage Lucius.

With a “buzz,” Lin Lei’s Steady-state Photon Blade finally hacked onto the Ancient Giant Falcon’s horn amidst his countless predictions and arrangements, forcibly dispersing an energy beam that was about to be fired.

The Ancient Giant Falcon suddenly let out a terrifying screech. Waves of invisible sound rippled out, pushing Lin Lei back tens of meters. Subsequently, Lin Lei discovered that on the Giant Falcon’s horn, an extremely distorted transparent light sphere began to slowly take shape. As soon as the light sphere appeared, a terrifying storm arose around it.

Small cyclones spun like flying knives and shot out in all directions. When they hit the flight’s remaining protective force field, they actually possessed the power to shake the field.

“Is this the Spherical Chaos Force Field mentioned by the System?” Seeing this terrifying momentum, Lin Lei immediately thought of the System’s introduction to this big bird. Damn, his attack just now must have triggered its reverse scale, and now it had gone berserk!

Now, the Ancient Giant Falcon’s hatred for Lin Lei had reached the maximum value. In its eyes, there was nothing but Lin Lei.

This was an opportunity!

Yan Qingming, who had been hiding in the dark, suddenly struck. He abruptly teleported to the neck of the Ancient Giant Falcon. The giant broadsword in his hand, which was originally only two meters long, suddenly expanded to hundreds of meters long.

Golden arcs of electricity wrapped around the blade, emitting piercing needle-like light. With an earth-shattering momentum, he slashed his sword at the Ancient Giant Falcon’s neck.

And the Ancient Giant Falcon, because it was firing such a powerful skill as the Spherical Chaos Force Field, was in a situation where it was inconvenient to move. It could only watch helplessly as the giant sword chopped down, unable to escape.

The giant sword hit solidly. The golden arcs of electricity immediately wrapped around the Giant Falcon’s neck, binding it like a large net.

Yan Qingming pulled down forcefully. The sword tip cut into the Giant Falcon’s neck, cutting off this big bird’s head as easily as cutting tofu.

No matter how powerful the Epic Beast was, suffering such damage, death was the only path.

The Spherical Chaos Force Field on the Giant Falcon’s horn lost control and immediately fell into chaos, producing a violent explosion that riddled the Giant Falcon’s head with holes. If the head hadn’t been sturdy, it would definitely have been blown to nothing.

And the headless body of the Giant Falcon fluttered a few times in the air before falling down.

The guy who was so arrogant just a moment ago was slaughtered in the blink of an eye. This nearly dramatic change left the people on the Galaxy Flight dumbfounded.

But clearly, they were safe for the moment.
