Chapter 149: Berserker and Mantis vs. the Navy
Boom!!
The burning sword struck the flying slash, bursting into a blaze of scorching red light as a shockwave rippled out.
The surrounding seawater blasted outward in a perfect ring.
The slash shattered instantly, and Kamakiri was sent flying.
But he halted himself with a sharp skid and landed steadily on the surface of the sea.
A grin spread across Kamakiri's face, excitement gleaming in his eyes.
"Again!"
He shouted and blasted forward, a surge of wind bursting from beneath his feet as he shot toward the warship.
"Mantis, I want in too—!"
Seeing him rush in like that, Wyper's blood heated as well. He yelled, and two gusts of wind erupted under his feet as he sped after him.
On the warship—
Tat-tat-tat…
Squads of marines rushed to the railings, raising their rifles toward the two approaching figures.
Rear Admiral Reyes wasn't surprised in the slightest that they had blocked his earlier slash. It had only been a casual swing.
"Kill them!"
The adjutant shouted, waving his hand.
Bang bang bang bang…
Gunfire erupted as bullets tore through the air toward the two speeding figures on the sea.
Splip splip splip…
Wyper and Kamakiri moved with incredible speed, weaving across the water. Countless bullets splashed uselessly into the sea, not a single one touching them.
Bang bang bang bang…
The gunfire continued nonstop, undeterred by their misses.
"You've got some skill… but you picked the wrong opponent."
Reyes spoke calmly, a faint gleam running along his blade.
He had come from Marine Headquarters. Back then he had been a lieutenant commander. After being reassigned to the East Blue branch, he'd climbed over many years to become a division rear admiral—but his strength had never been weak.
"Wind—Crescent Slash!"
He growled, the muscles of his arm bulging, veins standing out as he swung his blade at high speed.
Vmmm!!
A pale blue circular slash shot out, cutting across the sea toward Wyper with far greater speed than before.
Wyper's heart tightened. His eyes sharpened. His long combat experience made him instantly swing his launcher into position and fire.
Boom!
The launcher jolted, firing a wind shell projectile.
Pshh!
The crescent slash collided with the wind round, stopping for barely half a second before shredding it apart and continuing toward Wyper.
Vmmm!!
The wind projectile burst, releasing a shockwave that tore outward in every direction.
But that half-second stall was enough—Wyper dodged cleanly.
He then grabbed the wind shell he had ejected from the launcher and loaded a black Impact Shell into it. A wild smile spread across his face.
"Hahaha… try this!"
The shoulder-mounted launcher lit up with a bright flash and locked onto the warship.
All of this happened in under two seconds.
"Not good—!"
Reyes saw the glow on Wyper's launcher and felt an overwhelming sense of danger. His eyes widened sharply.
He swung again, sending out another flying slash.
At the same moment, a blinding white beam fired from Wyper's shoulder cannon.
"BOOM!!"
The arm-thick beam shot toward the warship, its sheer force making every marine tremble.
Where the beam passed, even though it was only two meters above the surface, the seawater vaporized instantly, rising as thick steam.
Boom!!
The beam struck Reyes's slash, obliterating it on impact before drilling straight into the warship, erupting in a blinding blast.
Rumble…
A massive hole was punched clean through the warship, edges glowing red-hot and spewing flames and white smoke.
"Whew…"
Wyper blew off the white smoke rising from his launcher, grinning wildly as he admired the damage on the warship.
That was the power of an Impact Shell—absolutely devastating.
