Abnormal Moon

Roy narrowed his eyes, as if he had been provoked, and a dangerous aura emanated from him.

In all six battles fought so far, these two Pseudo-humanoids have issued a one-minute declaration at the start, allowing their opponent to attack at will while they only defend, and only begin to attack after one minute has passed.

In all six matches, without exception, no combination was able to break through the defenses of these two pseudo-humans. Each opponent group tried their best to attack for a minute but made no progress before being taken down by Aldi and Limshi who took the initiative to attack.

Every match they won was highly entertaining. Unlike the other speedrunning groups, their matches fully demonstrated what conflict, domination, and arrogance are all about, and were full of hype.

But this time, facing an opponent like him, does he still dare to issue a one-minute declaration?

Roy glanced down at the sheath containing the activation devices at his waist; one of them was the activation device for the Black Furnace Demon Sword.

As the purest of pure stars, the Black Furnace Demon Sword—along with the other three-colored demon swords—is extremely powerful. It can easily burn the ground and turn the earth into a crucible filled with magma. Only the same pure star's Radiant Armament can withstand such an attack; a mere defensive barrier can be broken with a single hand.

"It's alright, attack all you want! Our defensive barrier cannot be breached!"

Aldi proudly raised his head, displaying what arrogance truly meant.

Roy grinned, as if he had been amused.

"Is that so? Then I'll have to slap you in the face!"

Chapter 233 Roy & Claudia VS Aldi & Rimshi

"boom!!"

A thunderous roar suddenly erupted, and a powerful gust of wind burst outwards, instantly drawing the attention of the entire arena with the sound, which resembled a missile exploding.

Right in the center of the stage, Roy had somehow crossed the distance between them and stood in front of Aldi, punching him in the chest.

"Ha ha ha! I told you, the defensive barrier my master bestowed upon me is indestructible, and even you cannot break through it!"

Aldi, with his arms crossed, looked at Roy, who was only a foot away from him, and his laughter gradually rose from a low tone, his tone full of smugness.

A defensive barrier, no bigger than the palm of his hand, appeared out of thin air in front of him, blocking Roy's fist.

The defensive barrier remained completely undamaged by this punch.

"Wow, that's amazing! With the power of a mere android, they actually created a defensive barrier comparable to that used on a stage!"

Roy made no attempt to hide his admiration for Aldi, or rather, for Aenesta.

The defensive barriers used on the stage are very strong, as evidenced by the fact that the Sirius Dome also uses defensive barriers. Even the organizers, who absolutely do not allow the aftershocks of the competition to injure the audience, believe that the defensive barriers are sufficient to prevent any incidents from affecting the audience.

Roy had indeed used all the power of his body in that punch, but he still couldn't break the defensive barrier, not even a crack appeared—his body modification was only A-level, and there were limits to the modifications to the body, it just covered many aspects and had more functions.

"Hahaha, now you've experienced the might of our master!"

Ardi, feeling honored by Roy's praise, raised his head high.

"Come on, it's okay to keep trying! You have over fifty seconds left!"

Roy gave a soft hum and smiled noncommittally.

He wrapped his fist with stellar energy, and the azure energy, as blue as the sky, appeared on his fist like a boxing glove. He combined his physical strength and stellar energy and threw a punch at Aldi with all his might.

"Boom——!!"

A tremendous roar resounded, shaking the very earth.

Claudia and Limsey exchanged a glance and moved aside in unison. The commotion caused by these two, or rather Roy, was too great. The nickname "Tyrant" was well-deserved. If he punched the ground, it might really cause an earthquake. It was better to stay away from these two to avoid being affected.

"Useless, useless, we are all—"

"Click!"

Before Aldi could finish speaking, a slight cracking sound rang out between the man and his machine.

Aldi paused for a moment, his emerald green "eyes" landing on the defensive barrier in front of him.

"Such a thing can happen!"

A crack suddenly appeared on the barrier he had set up in front of him.

To date, no one has been able to do this!

Theoretically speaking, apart from the pure Starry Sky weapon, it should be impossible for anyone to break through his defensive barrier from the front!

There were a couple of rumors that Roy had broken through the defensive barrier of the Star Guide Hall Arena during the previous two-on-two simulation battle on campus, but those were just rumors at best, like the rumors flying around, products of the audience's imagination and excitement, and had no credibility whatsoever.

He had never believed such dubious intelligence before, but now, faced with this blatant evidence, he had no choice but to believe it!

"There really isn't such a freak in the information collected by the master...!"

Aldi couldn't help but loosen his grip on her arm, instinctively adopting a defensive posture.

"But you can only create cracks in the defensive barrier; you're far from shattering it!"

The attack empowered by the power of stars should be the maximum power he can unleash. Even if he takes out the Radiant Armor, without using the Meteor Fighting Technique, he cannot unleash a power greater than this attack. Ordinary Radiant Armor simply cannot withstand his massive amount of star power; it would be destroyed if used. Therefore, the Meteor Fighting Technique can only be used once at most. Even with a backup weapon, the limit is two attacks that can surpass this one!

Aldi's central computer calculated the result in an instant.

"Humph!"

Roy gave a soft hum, remaining silent.

He threw another punch, not bothering to find an angle, but simply slamming it into the defensive barrier in front of Aldi. Aldi's heart tightened; the barrier with cracks might not be able to withstand a second blow. He instantly removed the barrier and set up a second one. Sure enough, after another deafening collision, the barrier was only slightly cracked. The power of this punch did not exceed that of the previous one.

But immediately afterward, Roy unleashed a third and fourth punch without stopping, throwing and retracting his fists at an astonishing speed.

For a moment, the entire stage seemed to be in a thunderstorm cloud, with countless thunderclaps rumbling across the stage.

"It's useless! No matter how fast your punches are, my reaction time will always be faster than yours!"

Aldi's eyes were fixed on Roy's fists, constantly creating defensive barriers to block Roy's punches one after another, while shouting fiercely.

No matter how fast Roy's punches are, he can always create a defensive barrier faster than Roy.

He is not human, but a pseudo-entity, an autonomous pseudo-entity controlled by artificial intelligence. His reaction speed is the same as that of the central computer, far surpassing that of humans. In terms of performance, it is far beyond what the human brain can match!

"Not necessarily!"

Roy withdrew his fist, a confident smile spreading across his face.

He held his breath and focused his mind, his muscles twitching. He pushed off with his feet, the power coming from his legs, passing through his waist, and then into his fist. He threw another punch at Aldi.

"How many times do I have to say it, this kind of attack—ugh?!"

Aldi created a new defensive barrier to block Roy's punch, but then he let out a strange cry.

The moment Roy threw the punch, his arm twisted at an uncanny angle. The punch, delivered with a kinetic chain beyond human comprehension, missed the barrier in front of him by a hair's breadth and struck his side abdomen.

"Boom——!"

A dark shadow was sent flying dozens of meters away in an instant, spraying out more than a dozen pieces of black special alloy that were shattered along the way, until it crashed into the stage's defensive barrier and slowly fell to the ground.

"Amazing!"

In the audience, Aeneasa's eyes lit up at the sight, and she excitedly clapped her hands and stomped her feet.

Which side are you on?

Camilla's expression immediately tensed up, but after seeing Anessa's carefree attitude, she couldn't help but complain.

Chapter 234 Together

On the other side of the stage.

Claudia drew her twin swords, her feet planted on the explosive starlight, and charged toward Rimshi like an arrow released from a bow.

Limshi frowned slightly, and two large pistols extended from her arms, spewing out light bullets as big as fists. She ran back and forth while continuously firing light bullets, which for a moment seemed to form two arcs.

Even so, Limshi still felt it wasn't enough.

Claudia's speed was simply too fast. Although it was still inferior to the light bullet, her swift and agile movements made it difficult for Limshi to aim at her. As soon as she made a shot, it was dodged. It's true that Limshi's calculation ability was very strong, but there was very little information on Claudia, and there were only one or two combat videos. She simply couldn't predict Claudia's next move.

Under constant guerrilla tactics, Claudia quickly closed in on Limsey, a sharp smile spreading across her face, and slashed her sword at the school badge on Limsey's chest.

Limshi had anticipated this move and reacted in time, but her speed was far inferior to Claudia's, making it impossible for her to dodge. She could only lean back with all her might, trying to avoid the sword's edge.

"clang!"

Suddenly, a defensive barrier appeared in front of Limshi. Claudia slashed at it with her sword, but it didn't even leave a crack.

"Defensive barrier, isn't that the function of that anomaly? It can even create barriers for others?"

Claudia's eyes widened slightly, but she reacted quickly, dodging the barrier and chasing after Limsey.

Taking advantage of the appearance of the defensive barrier, Limshi activated the large equipment she was carrying on her back without hesitation.

With a sharp sound, a burst of green light, like nitrogen accelerating, erupted from Rimshi's body, which suddenly floated up. Then, the green light intensified and expanded, and the entire machine flew directly into the air.

"They actually carried flight equipment?"

Claudia's sword strike missed its mark, and she frowned slightly as she watched Rimshi ascend to the heavens.

With the development of technology, flying-related star-flying engineering equipment has long been available. The appearance of such auxiliary equipment is not prohibited on the stage of the Star Martial Festival. However, being able to fly is one thing, and flying well is another. There are not many people who can master flying equipment. Most people believe that instead of spending time mastering this equipment, it is better to focus on how to enhance themselves. Therefore, not many people use it.

However, if the flying equipment is used by robots, that's a different story. Robots are naturally adapted to flying equipment. They can learn to use flying equipment at a speed that far surpasses that of humans, as long as they input the data into the central computer.
