Invincible through Touching Corpses

"Don’t worry!" Hearing Song Yao’s warning, Lin Xinghai gave a calm, two-word reply.

However, contrary to what Song Yao thought, Lin Xinghai had no intention of using Mjolnir’s Thunder Attack just for this.

Sixteen Mecha were besieging the Death Claw together. If he had to reveal his trump card for this, it would be a joke.

Lin Xinghai was closing in fast. As he approached, one of the Mecha in the encirclement moved aside to create an opening.

With one less Mecha holding the line, a gap appeared in their formation. At that moment, Song Yao unleashed his full power. Combining his Superpower, Holy Light Judgment, with his Blood Qi Power, he struck with a terrifying blow that forced the Death Claw back.

Qin Wenbo also seized this opportunity to constantly activate his Superpower. Vines as thick as thighs burst from the ground, continuously wrapping around the Death Claw.

At the same time, Fang Tianhe, not to be outdone, fully activated his Heaven-Splitting Superpower and slashed down with his blade as well.

The Heaven-Splitting Superpower’s Attack Power was top-tier. In terms of sheer Attack Power, he was second only to Song Yao here.

The full-power burst from the three of them, combined with the attacks from the distant Mecha using their Electromagnetic Railguns, caught the Death Claw completely off guard.

"Great opportunity!" Song Yao roared over the comms channel.

But his warning wasn’t even necessary. Before the words had left Song Yao’s mouth, a metallic bolt of lightning brushed past him. A pale blue spear pierced straight through the Death Claw’s right arm, which it had raised to protect its head.

It all happened so suddenly and swiftly that no one on the battlefield, let alone Song Yao, could clearly see what had occurred. All they saw was that the Death Claw’s right arm had been pierced, leaving a massive, bloody hole.

Everyone on the field was a little stunned, but Lin Xinghai wasn’t surprised by this outcome at all.

The sharpness of Mjolnir was simply incomparable to other weapons.

Of course, that alone wouldn’t have been enough to pierce the Death Claw’s arm. The real issue was that after Lin Xinghai activated his Superpower, his Speed reached a terrifying level.

You had to understand, to a certain extent, Speed equals Power.

One can only imagine the impact force generated by a Mecha of this size moving at such an incredible speed.

When all of that force was focused onto Mjolnir, the result was that it pierced straight through the Death Claw’s arm.

And that was with the creature reacting quickly. If the Death Claw hadn’t defended in time, it wouldn’t have been its arm that was pierced, but its head.

’Time to go!’ Having landed a successful strike, Lin Xinghai had no intention of lingering and immediately piloted his Mecha to leap backward.

At the same time, he rotated Mjolnir, tearing out a large chunk of flesh and blood as he pulled it free.

ROAR!

Suffering such a grievous wound for the first time, the Death Claw let out a furious roar. It completely ignored everyone else and charged directly after Lin Xinghai’s Speed Mecha.

"Be careful! I’ll cover your retreat!" Song Yao shouted when he saw this. At the same time, he began to channel his Superpower and Blood Qi Power, preparing to intercept.

But he had just finished speaking, before he could even activate his Superpower, when he saw that Lin Xinghai had already retreated twenty or thirty meters, putting more distance between himself and the Death Claw than the rest of them.

"Er..." Song Yao felt a bit awkward. He had just remembered that Lin Xinghai’s Speed was on a level they couldn’t even compare to.

"Just attack from a distance. Leave it to me to keep it busy." Seeing that he had completely drawn the creature’s aggro, Lin Xinghai immediately changed his previous battle plan.

The others’ eyes lit up when they heard this. It wasn’t that they hadn’t considered this strategy before, but the difficulty was too high.

First, you had to be faster than the Death Claw. In the Holy Light Mercenary Corps, there was one Speed-type Superpower User who could do this.

But the reason he hadn’t adopted this plan was his inability to meet the second requirement: being able to firmly hold the Death Claw’s aggro.

This was the most crucial part. If the Death Claw couldn’t catch its target, it would definitely give up the chase and choose another one.

But Lin Xinghai was different. He had dealt so much damage that the Death Claw’s aggro toward him was maxed out. Who else would it chase?

THUD THUD THUD!

The Death Claw strode forward. With its size, each step covered more than ten meters as it relentlessly pursued the Speed Mecha.

But Lin Xinghai didn’t run too far. If he truly disappeared, the Death Claw would certainly attack the others. Besides, he was the main damage dealer here.

SWOOSH!

Lin Xinghai’s Mecha ducked behind a mobile building. Just as the Death Claw started to chase after it, he used his absolute Speed advantage to circle around from the other side and, without a word, thrust his spear into the Death Claw’s back.

ROAR!

Another massive, bloody hole made the Death Claw even more furious. However, Lin Xinghai retreated swiftly after his attack landed, and its counterattack missed once again.

For the next minute, Lin Xinghai continued using this tactic: strike and retreat, never lingering.

Moreover, he didn’t take any risks. All his attacks targeted easy-to-hit areas; he wouldn’t put himself in danger just for the sake of dealing high damage.

Under these circumstances, the Death Claw was completely helpless against Lin Xinghai. It could only be led in circles around the nearby buildings, unable to ever catch up.

As for the others, things became much easier. They just needed to take potshots from a distance.

The Death Claw that had seemed so terrifying to them—one that could have even wiped them all out—had become a clumsy oaf in Lin Xinghai’s hands, being led around by the nose with no way to fight back.

While excited to watch, these people also felt a strange sense of sorrow. This was especially true for Song Yao. As a Blood Qi Realm expert, while he never said anything, he had always looked down on the Optimized in his heart.

But after seeing this scene, he understood that if he were to face Lin Xinghai, his fate would probably be similar to the Death Claw’s. Despite having an absolute advantage in Power, his inability to keep up with Lin Xinghai’s Speed would lead to him being toyed with until he was defeated.

Time continued to pass. More than a dozen huge, bloody holes now riddled the Death Claw’s body, all of them made by Mjolnir. Some of them even reached its internal organs.

As its injuries grew more severe, the Death Claw’s Power, Speed, and reaction time all declined to a certain degree.

In contrast, Lin Xinghai’s attack frequency increased, and the scales of battle tipped rapidly in his favor.

Finally, after another twenty-some seconds, Lin Xinghai seized an opportunity. Mjolnir pierced through the back of the Death Claw’s head, killing it with a single strike.

"Yes!" Song Yao shouted excitedly, then immediately ordered the others, "Quick, help the convoy evacuate!"

They were still deep within the Zombie tide. Although the Mutated Zombie was gone and the tide no longer posed a threat to them, the hail of bullets needed to hold it back was consuming hundreds of rounds per second. They couldn’t hold out for much longer.

Hearing this, everyone hurried back to the convoy to help with the retreat. Lin Xinghai, however, didn’t leave immediately. Instead, he first collected the Elemental Crystal and Sharp Claws from the Death Claw’s body. These were his spoils of war, after all.
