I , Robot ：Awaken

Chapter 2，Black Avenger

“Tat tat tat tat…!”

The Day Penalty closest to the ship was the first to activate the electromagnetic machine guns on its shoulders and began shooting.

I and the other team members also began to attack one after another. In an instant, various physical ammunition and energy weapons traced different colors in the air, converging at the ship’s door.

The headless Flamecaller was equipped with high-density solid fuel on its back,at this time,which was inevitably hit, causing a violent explosion. The blast wave threw the ship about ten meters away, and when the ship landed again, it was already on fire.

But just at the moment the ship was thrown up by the explosion, I saw a shadow dart out from within, charging toward the nearest Day Punisher Ger. The latter had not reacted yet when it was sliced into two halves by the shadow, with its legs still standing in place while the upper body flew up, still firing in circles with the electromagnetic gun.

After the shadow Terminated the Day Punisher Ger, it quickly fired several laser beams at us and then turned and ran.

These successive changes in the battle situation immediately pushed our combat systems to full capacity. As we fired and quickly pursued, the shadow moved with great agility, leaping suddenly to a height of over ten meters, landing on top of a stone pillar, and then jumping to a higher pillar. Two The Ouster Gers followed it by jumping after it, while another Day Punisher Ger and I flew into the air, circling to its front from left and right.

We fired continuously at it from the air, but it deftly dodged every shot. It jumped across several stone pillars, and we quickly calculated its path to intercept it ahead. Suddenly, it reversed direction and jumped back along its original route, causing the Day Punisher Ger and me to miss. When we looked back, it was already attacking an The Ouster Ger still airborne with a nearly invisible blade. The Ouster Ger tried to escape by boosting its flight thrust, but the opponent’s speed was too swift.Its legs were still cut off, and the two halves of its body fell straight down.

Another The Ouster Ger quickly followed and activated its plasma sword, swinging it towards the shadow. The shadow dodged the initial strike and then countered with a horizontal s***h. The Ouster Ger hurriedly blocked with its sword, but unexpectedly, the almost transparent knife passed through the plasma sword without resistance and effortlessly sliced through The Ouster Ger’s neck. Then the shadow kicked the head that was about to land, sending it flying towards me like a cannonball.

Of course, the head itself did not pose a threat to me, but both I and the Day Penalty were stunned. Within just a few minutes,on the public channel, only the icons for the two of us were still active, while the others had turned gray.

Do we still have a chance?

The shadow stood in the center of the stone pillar platform, looking up at us. Only then did we clearly see its appearance. It was a robot about the same size as us, somewhat like the Tower Clan’s main battle robot Avenger, but unlike the usual red and black color scheme, this Avenger was entirely black, with a tattered cloak draped around its neck. Its left hand was holding a black object, mostly covered by the cloak, making it unclear what it was. Its right hand still held a long knife that was intermittently visible.

What kind of monster is this?A new type of troop in the Tower Clan?What kind of knife is that?

“Do not engage it in close combat; you are not its match.” Father suddenly said, “It cannot fly. Use ranged weapons to keep it at bay. Reinforcements are already on their way.”

I had used up my micro missiles in the chase, but the Thunderpunisher has more than three times my missile capacity. After receiving the order, it promptly deployed its missile launcher and fired several missiles.

It began to evade only when the first missile was nearing.It ran a few steps, jumped off the edge of the pillar, and all the missiles exploded on the top of the pillar due to their inability to adjust their trajectory. I quickly circled around the pillar and saw it rapidly sliding down the rock wall. I immediately used my laser beam to fire at it, but it was evading while shooting back. Due to the distance, neither of us managed to hit each other. After sliding to the bottom of the pillar, it charged towards another pillar.

he Day Punisher Ger, from its high vantage point, assessed the trajectory of the enemy and determined it was the right moment to strike. It launched a Stormwind missile, The Stormwind missile is a powerful anti-ship missile, usually used to attack large units, and is unique to the Day Punisher Ger.

I watched as the missile fell and immediately ascended in altitude.

“Boom!” A huge explosion erupted, forming a mushroom cloud.

The pillars on the ground, already severely weathered, could not withstand the impact of the explosion. One by one, they collapsed, raising a skyful of dust.

The smoke and dust everywhere obscured our vision. The Avenger and I spread out and conducted a close aerial search. After a while, the dust began to settle. We lowered our altitude and started searching.Normally, no small unit would survive a direct hit from a Stormwind missile. But given the enemy’s previous capabilities, we can’t rely on normal expectations. Until we find its wreckage, we can’t be sure it’s been destroyed.

After a thorough search, we finally made a discovery.The Avenger found the black cloak it was wearing among a pile of rubble. We carefully descended nearby and, to be on the safe side,the Avenger opened fire with its electromagnetic machine gun from a distance, shooting at the cloak once more.

He dense barrage of bullets dug a pit into the pile of rubble. but I didn’t hear any metallic sounds or spot the black Avenger, only the cloak remained.

Just as I sensed something was wrong, I saw the knife again. At the same time I saw it, the knife had already slashed across the neck of the Avenger, and its head immediately fell to the ground. Then, the multi-barrel electromagnetic gun mounted on the Avenger’s shoulder turned towards me and began to spray flames without pause. Caught off guard, I quickly retreated, performing a roll to hide behind a large piece of rubble.

Debris was flying everywhere, and large boulders began to break into smaller fragments.I tried to take off, but the system indicated failure. After a brief self-check, I discovered that the external wing module had been destroyed and there were several penetrations in my body.

The real-time combat assessment showed that survival was no longer possible for me and that I would soon be finished off by that monstrous Avenger.

As the large rock was on the verge of breaking apart completely, the electromagnetic machine gun finally ran out of ammunition and ceased firing. I took the opportunity to swiftly turn around and shoot with my laser gun mounted on my left arm. But it seemed to have anticipated my move; before my left arm was fully raised, I was struck by a precise laser beam.
