Whatever he did with the anti-resonance sword allowed Saint Jeremiah to resonate with it so much that it looked as if the weapon was being fully unlocked!
“Avoid that sword!”
Patriarch Reginald didn’t need any reminders. He instinctively sensed a great threat from the weapon and did not hesitate to shift his targeting from the shoulders of the Neo Amadeus to the sword that it held in its hands!
Unfortunately, the materials the anti-resonance sword were made of were extremely hard and powerful. Even if the concentrated energy and physical attacks were beginning to chip away at the blade, these measures could not prevent Saint Jeremiah from completing his move!
“BEHOLD THE POWER BORN OF SACRIFICE!”
Before the Mars could fire another salvo, the Neo Amadeus actually tossed its anti-resonance sword!
The weapon soared forward like a doomsday missile that promised total destruction. It radiated so much power that its properties appeared to be little different from a weapon of mass destruction!
The Mars only had enough time to lift its transphasic axe and block the tip of the incoming sword before it could get any closer!
From the moment the anti-resonance sword got blocked, it erupted and let loose a blindingly powerful white blast that completely overtook the Mars and its humanoid-shaped domain field!
In fact, the latter had suffered the most from this costly attack!
Somehow, Saint Jeremiah not only supercharged his anti-resonance sword, but also triggered it to blow and release all of its power at once!
The Mars suffered greatly as it rapidly backed off from the energies and forces unleashed by the remarkable explosion.
The overpowering attack put the Mars in a much more awful shape than before.
Its domain field had suffered so much trauma that its integrity had been compromised.
If the domain field previously resembled a healthy and powerful state, now it looked like a state that had just been ravaged by war!
The condition of the Mars was a little better, but not that much.
Many portions of its red patterned surface armor looked damaged and deformed as the incredible force of the explosion had exceeded the limitations of the damaged Abasis Armor!
The nature of the anti-resonance sword’s explosion also meant that any attempts of Patriarch Reginald to reinforce the armor of the Mars with his willpower was futile.
The main reasons why the Abasis Armor did not buckle too much was because of its transphasic reinforcement and its inherently tough material composition.
What was actually devastating to the Mars was that its handheld equipment had suffered the brunt of the damage from the sacrificial explosion!
“My axe! My shotgun!”
Patriarch Reginald ached when he inspected the condition of those two weapons.
Only half of the expensive transphasic axe blade was left intact. This was already an admirable state considering that it had been closest to the exploding sword.
The transphasic shotgun had already received a few hits before, but the force of the latest explosion had not only deformed a portion of its exterior, but also damaged numerous internal components.
The Mars couldn’t fire its shotgun anymore!
The sacrificial attack of the Neo Amadeus might have caused the ace mech to lose one of its most powerful weapons, but Saint Jeremiah was more than happy with his gains.
The loss of the anti-resonance sword was not that great of a price now that the Saint Kingdom of the Mars was no longer as strong as before.
The Neo Amadeus quickly pulled out its transphasic sword. Saint Jeremiah was intent on breaking the transphasic reinforcement of the ailing Abasis armor entirely, and this particular sword was the most suited to complete this job!
The ace swordsman mech wasn’t the only machine that switched to another weapon.
The Mars tossed its damaged axe and shotgun in the direction of the mechs of the Cross Clan. Reginald trusted his men to retrieve the discarded gear.
The ace hybrid mech then pulled out a long and fairly thick blade from its back.
Patriarch Reginald was ready to finish the job with the Whale-Cutting Saber.
Ketis originally designed the heavy saber to cut through the flesh and bones of phase whales and other massive opponents.
It should be more than enough to slice through the armor of the Neo Amadeus, especially after it too benefited from Reginald’s willpower baptism!
Strangely enough, the Whale-Cutting Saber didn’t undergo as many changes as the rest of the ace mech.
Reginald initially wanted to imprint the weapon with his force of will to the greatest extent possible, but he quickly changed his mind.
The power that Ketis had especially imparted to the saber upon its creation was not weak. It was important for the saber to retain as much sharpness as before.
Though Reginald’s affinity with the Whale-Cutting Saber was not as great as with his transphasic axe, this was hardly a problem in his opinion!
Reginald became more eager to test whether his new weapon was sharper than that of his opponent.
“If I can’t cut you with my axe, I will cut you with my saber!”
The two ace mechs soon attacked each other with their new bladed weapons!
