Chapter 126: Duel (2)

"Ooh!"

When Arthur's Wunder materialized, it quickly drew people's attention and amazement.

It was totally jet black and its design was different from the standard Wunder, as it did not look like an exoskeleton, it was almost a full body armor leaving some parts of its body exposed, such as its face and neck.

However, what stood out the most in this Wunder was the claws that it had as hands, they were quite striking due to their size, this gave a unique touch to Arthur's beauty since it made him seem quite mysterious and at the same time a bad boy. ..

"Wunder, Adeptus"

Deus Ex Machina's designs were the best as well as its performance, for expert pilots their eyes lit up when they saw this custom Wunder, especially when it had an independent mana battery, which was the reason why Deus Ex Machina Machina became popular.

Some people couldn't help but look at Elias and started calculating the money to purchase one of these Wunder.

"..."

The Wunder was intimidating enough that even Alexander who knew of him in weaponry also felt the pressure.

[Don't worry young master, everything is within our expectations...]

A woman's sweet voice was heard in Alejandro's ear, which calmed him down a bit but still, he clenched his teeth.

"I hope so! I don't want any surprises!"

[Of course, trust us, we'll start the standalone system now...]

The mechanisms were activated and Alexander, under Libe's incredulous gaze, took a battle position.

Of course, this didn't matter to Arthur, he simply waited until the referee of this duel started...

"Big Brother Looks Strong"

Ludwing gulped, he didn't expect Arthur using a Wunder to look so cool, he couldn't help but admire it a bit.

Since not every man can become a master pilot.

"Hmph!"

"That's my Boy!"

Indara and Nataly smiled subdued and Nataly puffed out her chest, Arthur was raising the Lujan surname, and Elias smiled helplessly when he saw his wife.

(As expected of a high-level MC)

Libe on the other hand was not surprised, this was normal, and an MC like Arthur had to be strong.

"Handsome..."

As a pilot teacher, Lynne liked what she saw, the man she liked was much more attractive using a Wunder, if possible Lynne would like to accompany him at this time.

"Gentlemen the field is yours, fight!"

*bang bang

Alexander was the first to move, his thrusters activated and his gun fired...

Arthur didn't move and his Wunder's shield activated, which made the bullets useless, but as if Alejandro expected this, magic circles started appearing around him, and then something incredible happened...

*shiiii

Alejandro disappeared in a blink and when he reappeared, he was behind Arthur and had already lowered his energy sword...

*clang

The energy sword and Arthur's shield collided creating sparks, but this was not over yet, since Alejandro disappeared again and another crash was heard, followed by more blows...

"What's going on? Is Big Brother going to lose?"

Although Ludwig didn't know anything about how to pilot a Wunder, even he knew that Arthur was in trouble or so it seemed, since Alexander was somehow moving at high speed and attacking hard, Arthur on the other hand hadn't moved. from start to finish, it seemed as if he couldn't follow Alejandro's movements.

"'Ignition' that kid can use it..."

Nataly frowned, 'Ignition' is a high-level master pilot magic that allows them to move at extreme speeds, so it wouldn't be surprising if Arthur couldn't react, as this technique isn't something a pilot like Alejandro could master. However she is doing it, even Lynne frowned since this magic is something even she hasn't mastered yet.

"..!!"

Indara clenched her fists, her crush was in trouble, but it was a shame she couldn't help it.

(Impossible! This doesn't make sense)

For Libe this was an abnormality, she knew very well that Alejandro is a weak chicken.

"What do you say now, Elias? Scared? Your son can't even move, at this rate, we're going to win..."

Aurora didn't waste the opportunity to poke fun at the competition, everything was going as planned, so no matter how strong Deus Ex Machina's Wunder is, they would win...

"..."

Elias didn't answer, he wasn't worried in the least, Alejandro could be multiplied by 1,000, and still, he wouldn't be a match for Arthur.

Elias knew very well how powerful Arthur is, he was simply playing with his opponent, so it was a fact that Arthur couldn't lose.

Of course, this is something that Aurora did not know.

--------------

At the Ladies of War Industries facility, several people were collecting data.

"Come on, let's take down the kid from Deus Ex Machina..."

Also, a woman with a helmet connected to high-tech machines murmured and smiled.

The standalone system as its name implies is a prototype for the unmanned Wunder generation.

It consists of master pilots with the help of the virtual reality helmet, connecting to the Wunder and driving it from a distance.

With the help of such modern equipment, the Master Pilot would not have to fear death so he could use his Wunders at full power without consequence.

With Deus Ex Machina as competition, Ladies of War Industries had no choice but to revive a flawed project.

After all, according to the original design, this invention would cause casualties in the army and mercenaries to be reduced by up to 80%.

However, although this invention was revolutionary, there was a reason why Ladies Of War Industries had to suspend such a project, this was a Wunder could not operate without the pilot's magic power so the pilots had to man the Wunder if they wanted this War machine to be activated, not to mention that outside signals didn't affect dungeon entry, since a dungeon is a different dimension so this system was useless.

For this simple fact, such a project was canceled, also the fact that Deus Ex Machina could implement a way to store magical power in batteries made Ladies of War Industries bite their teeth in frustration since another company achieved what they did not, but now Thanks to Alejandro, Ladies of War Industries had found a way to win against their rival.

Alejandro is the battery, while the woman who is controlling the Wunder is a master pilot, so even if Arthur's Wunder was powerful, Ladies of War industries could still defeat Arthur based on combat experience using a master. the recognized pilot, since she is a professional.

"What a tough shield!"

However, after hitting more than a dozen times, the master pilot became suspicious, no matter how much magic power a pilot possesses, sooner or later his defense will collapse, but that hasn't happened with Arthur.

Arthur still didn't move, cool as a cucumber and of course, the Pilot teacher wasn't the only one to notice.

"Alexander can't break Liam's shield"

Nataly was the first to notice it and little by little more and more people saw it.

"What's going on? Why can't I touch it?"

Alejandro who was treated like a puppet couldn't help but comment, his magic power was running out but, Arthur didn't change his expression as if he was dealing with an ant that he can step on whenever he wanted, this made him furious.

"Alexander's magic power is too weak to break the shield..."

The Ladies of War Industries analysts quickly gathered the data from the energy shield and concluded.

"Quickly do something! You promised me you could beat that bastard!"

[And we will, but it won't be that easy, forgive me but I'll have to take all the magic power from him]

"It doesn't matter, as long as they wipe the smile off that guy's face!"

Alejandro gritted his teeth, while the pilot teacher controlled Alejandro and took her distance from him.

"What's wrong? Is that all?"

Arthur's smile was getting wider, he could see Alejandro's every move in slow motion, but since he wasn't a threat he let him.

"If you can't even break my shield I advise you to give up, I will be merciful..."

"Bastard, don't get cocky!"

"Is that so? Then do your best"

An apparent provocation and at the same time arrogant, however, Arthur had the qualifications to be arrogant...

"What are you waiting for? Finish him off!"

[To order and please excuse me, young master..]

"Hey?"

[We will defeat him in one blow]

Instantly Alexander's magic power was forcefully sucked out and an energy cannon appeared above his head.

This cannon was big enough that it was almost twice the size of Alexander...

The cannon quickly charged with magic power and with a flick of Alejandro's finger it fired...

Since Alexander lacked magic power, what he had to do was make up for it, this cannon would accumulate enough magic power that it would break the barrier with his penetration magic.

"[Break, EGO]"

*Bang

The Master Pilot had confidence in this, after all, it was one of this Wunder's trump cards.

"Liam!"

It was not known who was the person who shouted, but everyone could feel it, Alexander's magic power in that cannon was highly concentrated and it was very unstable.

This was abnormal, as precise control is required to doom such power without it exploding, but Alejandro managed to do so, so if this cannon hit his opponent, he would not come out unscathed and may inflict serious injuries, but it was already too much. late to stop the bullet.

Even for Nataly who was trying to jump and stop the duel but was stopped by Elias, Hayin also had that idea but held back as if she jumped now she might put the boy who brought her to this duel in a difficult situation.

Arthur continued as he could always calculate the trajectory and dodge was easy, but he didn't do it there was no need, the bullet was so fast that it came quickly and collided with his shield.

"[Explode, EGO]"

*BOM

The explosion was quite big, but as if it wasn't enough, in the area where Arthur was standing large magical flames burned and formed columns.

"[Twitch, EGO]"

The columns came together with force causing another explosion and a wall of fire went up.

The temperature reached such a high point that even the ground that was constructed of magic metal was melting.

[That will teach you not to let your guard down, child]

The pilot teacher shook her head, Arthur at his age already possesses strong magic power, but he was still careless which was a pity.

"I get it, a three-stage sequential spell, not bad…"

But it was a pity that things didn't go as the master pilot expected, as a voice was heard and soon the flames were forcefully dispersed.
