Chapter 485 485: Leo's Strength
The battlefield was set at the Stellar Nexus, where the Earth Team secured their position against the combined force of the Nebula Navigators and Draconian Defenders. The air crackled with the energy of anticipation, as if charged with an electric promise.
Primarily, their Earth Team defense rested on an Energy Tyrant—one of the most powerful defensive structures, pulsing with power and capable of releasing catastrophic munitions in the form of concentrated energy. Around them, an array of Robot units, metallic forms gristly with weaponry, and a number of Energy Weapons that hummed with lethal potential—all harvested from their 51 resource points.
Flying together towards the Earth Team came the two top-ranked crews, and they threw together full strength at the Earth Team. The Nebula Navigators brought along their precision-guided energy cannons, and the Draconian Defenders equally loosed their maniacally war-bred combat robots, each forceful to support the strength of the other and their respective strategies.@@@@
The first clashing of the two parties saw a light and sound display. The energy beams from the robot units crisscrossed over the battlefield, fighting in furious combat. The Earth Team's Energy Tyrant did do justice to its price, destroying quite a bit of the charging units with its massive firepower. They were quick to be adapted to by the Allied Forces, however, who were able to, with the help of their combined resources, put energy shields in place that absorbed most of the brunt.
The battle was a dynamic dance of attack and counterattack. Versatile and dynamic, the Draconian Combat Robots fought well against the Earth Team's Robots, the skirmishes being a whirl of mechanical dexterity and AI strategy.
Meanwhile, its energy-based weapons joined the deadly ballet of destruction, exchanging those from its enemy and lighting the landscape with brilliant and deadly colors. The strategic cohesion and the shared technological assets of the top 2 and top 3 teams kept them in contention, though numerically inferior in units and resources.
As the Stellar Nexus increased in tension, Caleb devised a bold plan and sent each of his team members, individually, against two members from the allied forces of the top 2 and top 3 teams. The boy was cool, and with an authoritarian voice, he led his team—his confidence was unshaken.
"Leo, Mia, Sarah, Alex. Two each of them. Show to them what we're made of," he said, his eyes only for the other team's leaders—languid and almost dismissive of the threat they obviously seemed to pose. "They're nothing we can't handle."
Leo smirked, focusing. "I don't need to see you to feel where you are," insolently he answered back and clapped his hands with great power.
The air aftereffects following the shockwave have already propagated, and they distorted the field of vision, giving for a moment the position of his invisible foe, as the pressure wave had disturbed the air around him. The fire-wielder lobbed a volley of flame orbs at Leo, who neatly sidestepped them and felt the scathing heat brush by.
"Is that all you got?" goaded Leo as he brought his sword down onto the ground with such force that it sent up shards of rock and dust, messing the enemy's aim up and setting off a small smokescreen. The invisible enemy, trying to capitalize on Leo's moment, did a stealthy blow from behind towards the fire user.
But Leo, reading the change in the air, whipped around at the last possible second with a backhanded stroke, connecting at nothing but still sending a clear message: he knew his opponent was there. "You're good, Earth guy," she admitted, letting out another series of fire strikes, but this time one after the other, not in bursts, continuing like a continuous stream, thus turning the ground to molten slag. "But not good enough!"
Leo, now sweating from the heat and exertion, grinned through the intensity.
"We are just getting started!" As he said this, he started pounding the air in front of him with a series of rapid punches, each sending out a compact burst of air pressure at his imaginary opponents. Most probably, he would make the firing lines tighten, and the invisible one would reveal himself for an escaping attack.
The battle was a fight between the elemental forces and physical ability. Leo had power upon the battleground; it allowed him to deal with the surroundings in his favor and make opponents' ability fight against themselves through his strength. His opponents were caught off guard, fighting to coordinate their attacks against his creative shockwave usage and terrain fluctuations.
The battle was halfway engaged; these taunts each side held were meant to give them some psychological edge against the other. "You may have strength, but we've got the elements!" cried out the fire-wielders, fought rivers of sweat to keep up their fiery assault. Dodging another invisible strike, Leo followed with an earth-shattering stomp that sent a fissure toward his foes. "And I've got the earth itself on my side!" he gasped the reply. "Let's see your fire and air beat that!"
