The Conspiracy of the Elites

Chapter 391: score 72

Ptui!

As soon as the 4th rank high-grade soldiers appeared, they attacked without even taking time to observe and understand the battlefield and the outcome was as expected.

The sword of the 4th rank high-grade soldier covered by its forcefield tyrannically penetrated the thick metallic hides of the mech, revealing its internal components for the first time since the battle started.

[The Mach Augustus has lifted its shackles and is being liberated.]

[Warning: The Mech will perform at its best now but this will bring a strong mental burden to the mech pilot.]

[Do you wish to continue with this order?]

As soon as Clark gave his consent, the mech seemed to have changed qualitatively in every statistical way possible.

The raging fire surrounding its sword became hotter, the exotic armor protecting its metallic hide suddenly seemed to have become sturdier, and its hidden weapons armaments seemed to have gotten even more juice.

Boom!

The mech kicked at such a high speed that the six 4th rank high-grade soldiers were caught off-guard; the kick struck one of the Generals with such power that the air around him visibly squeezed.

This was the power that could be exerted by soldiers of the 4th rank and above if they go all out.

4th rank high-grade soldiers have the potential to exert power that may crack the atmospheric air if they go all out. But if 5th rank high-grade soldiers go all out, they cause natural disasters.

These ranks were the main reason why normal humans revered high-grade soldiers, they were why in this era soldiers stood at the top and were the rulers.

A few cracking sounds reverberated in the air after the mechs kick, clearly of the 4th rank high-grade soldier breaking a few ribs but the others were not fazed by this.

They were just mildly surprised by the sudden increase in the mechs strength, this could put up a good fight against them but it was nowhere enough to intimidate them yet.

Bam!

They all attacked again as one.

As Clark controlled the mech, perhaps due to the adrenaline surge and the excitement of fighting against such powerhouses, he felt like he was becoming more intoned with the mech.

His flaming sword repeatedly slashed left and right, his legs kicked at intervals with such power that left the air screaming in panic, its hidden weapon armaments shot at such frequencies that the battlefield was already distorted.

His scanners immediately alerted the mech of another lethal strike from one of the soldiers, so its legs quickly rose up to curb this damage.

The mech kicked swift and hard but the tricky soldier was still able to dodge, the mech tried to dodge but it soon gave up as the soldier was already before it. Suddenly, it performed a strange move.

As the soldiers sword came closer to its chest while wrapped up with its force field, the mechs head bent down and its red glowing eyes clashed with the rapidly advancing soldier.

[Energy levels spiking: Overload Complete!]

[Rapid Laser Shot Activated!]

The mechs 2 red glowing eyes suddenly glowed fiercer, then 2 thick red laser beams shot out at the same moment as the soldiers sword stabbed into the mechs metallic chest.

Boom! Boom!

The first booming sound was that of the impact, but the second was that of the aftershocks as the air suddenly seemed like it was about to crack and open up for the emergence of a black hole.

The soldier flew back like a cannon ball as the 2 red laser beams followed him. Before he touched the ground, he was evaporated by the staggering heat of the thick laser beam.

The mech staggered backward, its glowing red eyes dimming in the process as a glaring opening was now in its chest from the sword attack.

All the mechanical components inside were exposed, and electrical sparks were now flashing inside it.

The mechs movements became jerky and inconsistent as it tried hard to delegate control of its metallic body to emergency systems, but it didnt have the luxury for this as there were still 5 opponents of the same level.

The surviving 4th rank high-grade soldiers attacked at the same time.

Boom!

The mech exploded, then everything went white before suddenly calming down to the original grey color of the Future training chamber.

[Intense Level Training Mode has come to an end.]

[Score: 72%.]

[Evaluation: A fierce battle filled with ups and downs, but your competency as a mech pilot has experienced quantum leaps of expansions. Congratulations, Lieutenant Colonel.]

[Highlight Achievement of the Training: Killing a 4th rank high-grade soldier.]

As soon as the training chambers A. I finished giving this evaluation and score, the cockpit of the mech finally opened and an exhausted Clark climbed out.

Despite how exhausted he was, the excited gleam in his eyes could not be hidden. I killed a simulated equivalent of a General, damn!

Suppressing his excitement, he finally went to the resting pool at the side of the training chamber to rest and recover his strength while using the opportunity to also evaluate the training.

Due to liberating the mech, the mental burden became so much that he now felt like his brain was in a pot of fire.

Despite all the negative feelings, he was still excited as this was his first time in days that he was able to kill a 4th rank high-grade soldier with his mech in the training. This was a significant milestone for him.

Now, he more or less knew how to control the mech like an extension of his body already. The intense training was stressful, but this was the right environment for him to be stimulated, which was his only way of improving at his level.

When he looked to the side, he saw the damages done by the previous battle slowly melding themselves together as the special exotic metals showed their specialty.

Despite the intensity of the battle, though the training chamber suffered damages from his attacks, his mech did not suffer any damage as the opponents were all simulated.

Everything was simulated in a way that made it seem like all the damage was real, but in actual fact, only his mech dealt all the damage.

He was not done with training for the day so after resting for a few minutes to recover, he stood up and took hold of his custom-made spear.

As he trained with his mech, so also did he train normally to increase his strength as a high-grade soldier.

In minutes, the virtual simulation started and he began another fresh phase of training. This would be his routine for 2 weeks.
