"So this is the resonance skill?" Garen stood far off away looking at the man lacking actual combat experience . He was suffering from mental confusion by Cold Chaos and was simply directing his resonance skills against something imaginary .

"Amazing!" For someone who was not particularly good in any aspects to be able to release such powerful strength in an instant just because of the resonance skill, it is pretty unbelievable .

Garen sighed . If it was not for Cold Chaos, he would have suffered at the outbreak of the enemy . Even if he did survive, his Mech would have been corroded or damaged severely .

Moreover, after the resonance skill was stimulated, the white Mech's speed strength improved by approximately 30% . In addition to the large number of vines which contains highly toxic corrosive effect, his Mech could have…

"d.a.m.n, this is no good!!"

Garen was startled . The enemy actually managed to get out from the shackles of the illusion, and as if suddenly teleported in front of him with a huge bunch of vines were swarming towards him .

"What ability is that!!?" Not only did he suddenly s.h.i.+fted in front of his sight, but also escaped the illusion as if the Cold Chaos did not affect him at all .

"Stupid! I may be incompetent, but with the aid of a master within a short distance leap, I am able to kill anyone I want! Hehehe!! Go to h.e.l.l!!"

The white Pilot seated in the cabin roared . Hanging from his chest was a white, s.h.i.+mmering necklace which was helping to resist against the mental confusion created by the Cold Chaos .

Several thick vines were swarmed towards Garen . Its dark green surface dripped of disgusting, green slime . As the slime made contact with the ground, it rapidly evaporated into a fermented mist .

Chi chi chi!!

Only three swings were yielded from the blade to cut the vines .

Both blades in Garen's hands broke at the same time, melting into a form of black liquid dripping on the ground .

His body retreated swiftly as a large area of his front external armor was being corroded, exposing strips of his silver skeletal system .

Without his external armor and only left with his skeletal system, Garen's Mech was at risk of being instantly paralyzed if he was shot by even just an ordinary high-powered ray gun .

"Hahaha!! Too many people have died from this move of mine! Did you really think that I was completely incompetent?" Sinister laughter was heard from the white Mech .

"As expected, New-Moon Level is nothing simple!" Garen finally understood the cruel reality that in order to achieve New-Moon Level Five Resonance, those masters must have experienced a lot of combat . Even the guy in sight right now who seemed harmless had tricks beneath his sleeves .

If any other Level Five Pilot was to be replaced by the move previously, he might have been caught by the vines and his body completely ruined by the corrosion . Even some of the New-Moon Level Resonance Pilots under such ambush might not even be able to use their resonance skills on time before getting themselves killed .

"This guy… trying to be a ringer huh?" At first, Garen thought that the person was just another good-for-nothing young man from a rich family who had been forcefully nurtured . Maybe he was a little talented, but unexpectedly…

"Run! You better keep running, you little pest! I wasted so much time and energy chasing after you! You better run!" The white Mech let out an arrogant laugh .

"With just your ability and you dare to challenge Big Brother Fila, do you really not know how to spell the word death!"

The vines around him danced around madly as if they were turning into a huge monster . From far away, they look like a gigantic vine monster at least ten meters long . Not just was it entirely green, but it was also continuously dripping a large amount of disgusting slime .

"Now, I want you to give me everything you have with you, then kneel on the ground and call me Grandpa thrice . Maybe then I would consider to spare your life . "

The white Mech exclaimed in a frenzy of rage .

"You have a death wish . "

Garen scoffed and threw away his half corroded blade . Straightening his body, he released his Mech's defense .

"It seems that you really do want to die…b.a.s.t.a.r.d!" The white Mech's voice suddenly turned low and solemn .

"I'm begging you to kill me," Garen grinned with a hint of mischief . "Please . "

"I asked you to beg me!!"

With a loud rumble, the vines around the white Mech burst once again and expanded twice its original size before darting towards Garen's direction .

Simultaneously, it flung out ma.s.sive amounts of green slime everywhere . Even the stones were etched in puddles of black liquid, with white smoke fizzling up .

Just when the white Mech was about to charge towards Garen, something happened…

Ow!!

A humongous black mouth suddenly emerged from the quagmire and grabbed the white Mech at his entire lower body together with the vines .

This mouth was no different than a fish's . It was black with smooth s.h.i.+ny edges, just that ithere were large, thick tentacles within . The tip of the tentacles actually had suction cups the size of a basin, which pegged the white Mech down tightly .

Springing out all of a sudden, the gigantic fish's mouth was at least twenty meters wide and had at least hundreds of suction cups sucking onto the white Mech tightly, while making a sharp, sucking sound .  

"No…!!! You beast…! No!!!" The white Mech froze for a moment as if it was paralyzed by the beast's toxins . Motionless, it was just howling in pain .

Snap!

The fish swallowed the white Mech in whole .

Garen who was just watching from the side was shocked and frightened . This was the true Level Five New-Moon Powerhouse! The Mech which almost ruined him just moments ago was entirely vulnerable in the hands of this mutated creature .

Previously, he could also tell that there was something fishy about this quagmire hence attracting the white Mech to go there . However, he did not expect that he would feel a sort of hidden threat during the battling process hence he had intentionally tried to stay away from its murky waters .

His soul intuition told him that this quagmire was definitely dangerous .

And now, a New-Moon Level Mech that he was unable to defeat was just swallowed by a gigantic fish beast in just one gobble .

The gigantic fish had no eyes, just an enormous mouth above the water surface . After biting around for a moment, it retracted back into the quagmire when it did not sense anything else for it to gobble further .

The strange thing was the hole in the quagmire caused by the beast somehow returned to its original form along with its retraction . Large tracts of the quagmire automatically moved from its surrounding and formed a disguise unrecognizable from its previous form .

Garen stood on the edge, his body continued radiating icy Cold Radiation . The frost froze the scent emitting from his Mech . He deduced that this beast mainly relied on scent and breathings to identify its prey, then deliberately reduced its own breathing to the minimum, hoping to lure the arrogant white Mech to step into its trap .

And that was how a tragic incident happened …

"Gee…such misfortune, not even a single bone is left . " After retreating about ten meters back, then only did Garen felt the faint hint of threat slowly disappearing .

"The Radiation Belt really is full of danger . This has got to be the first time I witnessed a terrifying mutated beast strong enough to threaten a Pilot . "

Heaving a sigh of relief, Garen turned around and flew towards the direction of the Flying Batoid City .  

Shortly after he left, a black shadow fell from the clouds above, surveyed the quagmire area and then looked towards the direction of where Garen was heading .

"He is no doubt the gifted student who is much taken care of by Professor Van Doe, not even once did he need me to help or interfere along the way," the black shadow said lightly . "Even though he was still a student, he actually managed to deal with the White Light Elite Army Powerhouse . What are these children nowadays?"

The enemies faced by Nonosiva and Anda were beyond the range of the academy's usuals, almost like the Three Marshals and One Star, nearing the cruel reality of the adults' world .

Within the academy, perhaps a New-Moon Level Five Pilot would make the top cla.s.s of the human chain already . However outside the academy, although such level Pilots were uncommon, they were not rare . After all, the students' time of growth were at maximum a fraction of the others, sometimes even one-tenth or one-fifth . With such a gap, a lack of power could not be simply made up by just talent or hard work .

As one of the geniuses respected by Black Flood, how could he simply roam around without any extra security? Even Garen managed to work this out, and was not concerned for his safety, which was also why he seemed to be calm and collected the whole time .

"If no trouble lies ahead, it is time to send a message to the professor," the shadow muttered . He leaped back into the sky and ejected blue flames from his back, flying into the distance and disappeared among the gra.s.sland margin in a blink of an eye .

************

"Who else!?"

Blackboard Academy, right in front of the central teaching block .

The huge courtyard was filled with nearly hundreds of people from other academies, standing across crowd were a group of girls . n.o.body in the crowd spoke a word .

Lying in front of Leanna was a man's charred body . He was not dead, but his body's Willpower had nearly deteriorated by half . This was the consequence of accepting a quick gunfight challenge with Leanna .

"Blackboard Academy, also known as the most brutal, dark academy .  It seems that it is only so . " A girl standing beside Leanna sneered out loud and laughed .

"Where is your so-called strongest Three Marshals and One Star? Come out, stop using such garbage to drag time," Leanna commented lightly as she loosened her wrist joints .

Buzz…

The students around now only realized that these girls were not joking, and were really challenging the elite of Blackboard Academy - the small Three Marshals and One Star .

The infamous rapid gun, Leanna of Maria Academy, was just a n.o.body before this . But right here, right now, this was the stage for her talent to bloom .

This girl is actually using Blackboard Academy as a stepping stone for her to s.h.i.+ne!

"Small Three Marshals and One Star had been known as the strongest of the younger generation . Who knew someone would actually stand out to challenge them?" An unknown sharp voice sounded from the crowd .

Leanna's mouth slightly curved upwards, only she herself knew what her true intention was . She purposely picked a time where Three Marshals and One Star were away from the academy and came to challenge them just to make herself known .

The first one who voiced out among the crowd was actually a student from Blackboard Academy whom she just bought off .

Three Marshals and One Star were the strongest presence known in Blackboard . Ranking forefront, they were no doubt the most powerful beings in the academy . Ranked first was naturally Diofie, nicknamed Black Star, who was also the main support of Blackboard Academy in the future, followed by three parallels, Red-Eyed Medero, Karfi and Narisiss .  

The four of them were collectively known as Blackboard Academy's Three Marshals and One Star . As to the small Three Marshals and One Star, those were just the recent rise of new powerhouses over the years but they were nothing compared to these four people . As for the others? The ones ranked behind like Britney, Fila, and others, they would not even appear on such occasions . They were not just princesses at a higher status, they also had connections so there was no way they would exert deadly forces just for Blackboard's sake . However, even given a shot, Leanna would not be afraid . Her true target this time around was actually Britney, the fourth rank star…

. . . . So this is the resonance skill? Garen stood far off away looking at the man lacking actual combat experience .
