Capítulo 1020: Chapter 793: Standing Here, Unless I Die…
Ah?
Yuexi’s expression was startled.
“That mecha?”
Memories rapidly flashed through Yuexi’s mind.
Then her expression quickly froze into one of surprise.
“Are you talking about… [Great Moon Sacrifice]?”
“That was the mecha my father drove back then… It’s been sealed for a whole year since my father passed away.”
It was the relic left by her father, the Grand Duke Galanold, who was praised as the hero by her mother; the bravest man in this world.
“Great Moon Sacrifice, a good name.”
Mu Fan calmly turned his head, looking at Yuexi, “Can it still fight?”
When Mu Fan said this, beneath the calm voice lay the fierce intensity of a volcano before eruption.
“It can!”
As memories surged back, Mu Fan’s figure seemed to overlap with the figure from those memories.
Equally tall and mighty, equally brave and fearless.
“Great Moon Sacrifice is an AAA-level mecha, the most powerful mecha of our Babon Duchy, but it was custom-built for my father.”
“But without the Wood God’s descendants to drive it, it’s impossible to enter the Moon Eclipse State, with weapons and armor not infused with life energy, it would just be a normal A-level mecha.”
Yuexi spoke excitedly and quickly. The mission of the mecha had always been combat, but her father never let her come into contact with mechas since childhood.
So to her, this mecha was just a relic carrying her father’s memories.
Yet now, someone wanted to drive it into battle!
And for her protection.
“A-level mecha… it’s enough.”
Mu Fan placed his hands on Yuexi’s shoulders, looking directly into her clear, pure eyes, his own reflection clearly mirrored in her pupils.
“Stand here.”
“Unless I die…”
“Don’t go out.”
After these simple three statements, Mu Fan prepared to turn and leave.
“Wait.”
Yuexi looked up at Mu Fan, obediently nodded, then lowered her head, slipping off the [Star Water Divine Tears] from her index finger.
She grabbed Mu Fan’s right hand, carefully and attentively putting it on, like a wife tidying up the uniform of her soldier husband about to go to war.
“Star Water Divine Tears is your only key to activate Great Moon Sacrifice.”
Mu Fan looked at the girl, smiled silently, shook his hand, then turned to walk towards the central elevator.
To him, emotions were more important than material.
Who would have thought the girl would forsake worldly perceptions so boldly and directly say to him, “I like you.”
…The hardest thing to accept is the grace of a beauty.
The jacket he casually took off and tossed aside, Yuexi and Yun’er simultaneously saw the part of Mu Fan’s back not covered by the white vest…
Covered in scars.
Tears finally rolled down from Yuexi’s pure eyes, she tightly covered her mouth not to sob aloud, she didn’t want Mu Fan to see her crying.
…
In the pitch-black space, as Mu Fan began to walk, the spotlights on both sides lit up in turn.
In the silent corridor, the wooden-texture floor perfectly filtered out the sound of footsteps.
As Mu Fan approached the door labeled mecha cabin, the tightly closed door opened by itself.
The light in the corridor extended directly into the mecha cabin.
The belly compartment of the Moon Language Spaceship’s small vessel was incredibly narrow and compact.
Mu Fan only saw two mecha positions, one was empty—should be the [Slicer] that Daisendari took away.
And another mecha position stood quietly with a moon-white mecha.
Though it’s called [Great Moon Sacrifice], its height was only around 12 meters.
The mecha’s texture vaguely revealed those strange wooden patterns, but different from all the wooden mechas Mu Fan had seen, the armor’s exquisite nature and the polishing details of the joint guards far surpassed similar ones.
Daisendari’s [Slicer] could not match half of it!
Standing under the mecha, Mu Fan touched the delicate texture with his right hand, clearly seeing the densely fine marks on the armor plates where wood and metal alternated in fusion.
This was a battle-hardened mecha.
Looking up, Mu Fan could see the two weapons sealed with dust.
A long sword hanging diagonally at the waist, the moon-white scabbard covered with dried vines.
A tarnished long spear, the inconspicuous tip dim, entirely moon-white except for the sharp tip at the end of the gun handle which turned into a dull blue gold.
This mecha was not bulky, you could even say it was excessively lightweight.
“The nearest mecha will arrive in 40 seconds.”
Black’s reminder echoed in his ears.
Mu Fan lowered his eyelids, stretched out his ancient ring-bearing left hand, raised it, and touched.
The blue energy seemed to come alive at this moment, spreading upwards along the mecha’s footsteps, the dust accumulated on its body falling splendidly.
As that blue light swiftly covered the entire mecha.
Under the lofty towering three Blade Corners of the Great Moon Sacrifice, like an ancient crown, a pair of bluish eyes slowly illuminated within the moon-white face armor’s apertures.
…
In the pitch-black space, as Mu Fan’s body entered the compact cockpit, he felt something similar to vine-like plants spread over his limbs, gradually wrapping his entire body.
Thump thump, thump thump.
He heard a surging heartbeat sound echoing by his ears.
Whether it was his own, or the Great Moon Sacrifice’s.
When the green ghostly glow of vitality spread from the vines to his entire body.
Mu Fan felt he was completely integrated with this mecha.
There was no control panel, only thought control and limb synchronization.
This was a mecha without thought but with life.
Its name is the Great Moon Sacrifice.
…
…
[It’s almost there, I’m almost there. This time I, Mu Changlie, will achieve unparalleled feats.]
A mechanical master with medium-length hair was shouting excitedly in his heart.
He was the captain of Team 32; Ship No. 4 was the closest to here, and he was the first one out of the warship.
So it was destined for his arrival to be ahead of other mechas.
“Hahaha! Brothers, I, Mu Changlie, won’t be modest about the credit this time.”
He laughed loudly at others in the voice chain, as this mecha suddenly accelerated.
Unable to fly in the air, when Mu Changlie’s Wind Traveler broke over the hill, he saw at a glance the enormous valley covered with green grass and white flowers…
That Moon Language Spaceship, with wispy white smoke rising!
The light gray mecha paused for a moment on the top of the hill.
Inside the spaceship, Yuexi and her two young maidservants, with hands clasped in prayer, saw the Wind Traveler pull out an enormous crossbow from behind with one hand.
As the mecha charged down with overwhelming momentum, the trident-tipped giant crossbow arrow at the tip began to spin, gathering a gray wind at the tip as the light started to glow.
Wind Traveler—Spiral Crossbow.
In the cockpit, Mu Changlie’s lips curled into a cold smile.
Once it breaks through the hull of the Moon Language Spaceship, the Wind Traveler can charge right in!
The light at the tip of the crossbow arrow grew increasingly bright, drawing nearer to the spaceship.
Yuexi gritted her teeth, hands still clasped together. Despite her pointed ears trembling slightly, her feet did not retreat in the slightest.
“Princess, where is he?”
“Did he hide… sniff sniff.”
Hearing the maidservants crying beside her, Yuexi stated firmly, “He would never.”
However, Mu Fan had yet to appear.
Buzz.
That mass of gray wind suddenly exploded, blooming into a gigantic wind-colored flower in the field of vision.
Finally, when the Spiral Crossbow Arrow, stored to the extreme, shot out with a jolt of the bowstring just 500 meters from the Moon Language Spaceship!
A white light trail instantly tore through the air, plowing up a wave of earth close to the ground, roaring toward the Moon Language Spaceship.
“Ah!”
The two maidservants exclaimed and squeezed their eyes shut tightly.
Yuexi’s lips lost all color, but she still bit down resolutely; she did not want to close her eyes, instead just instinctively turned her head.
In the cockpit, Mu Changlie’s smile grew wider.
He seemed to see the princess shivering under his long sword.
Just the thought of it thrilled him tremendously.
Wind Traveler gripping the long spear with both hands.
The next moment, he was going to drill into the spaceship through that penetrated opening.
“Pierce through this damn turtle shell for me!”
Amidst his roar…
A cold gleam suddenly appeared out of nowhere!
A flash of moon-white brilliance shimmered past.
When the gray whirlwind was less than fifty meters from the spaceship, it was cleaved in two, toppling diagonally to both sides.
Boom, boom!
Two waves of heat exploded, tumbling stones off the mountain.
Yet the deep blue spaceship was unscathed.
The two maidservants, trembling uncontrollably, and Yuexi, who had just turned her head away, heard the enormous explosion nearby yet did not feel a tremor underfoot.
Huh!?
The three of them simultaneously looked towards the light screen.
And all at once, involuntarily dropped their jaws.
Yuexi’s bright and clear eyes, at this moment—
Flooded with hot tears.
