[2] Genius Mechanic

Chapter 360

Shadow's Secret

[???]

[How come the E.M tank has shadows!?]

[What the heck is going on???]

On the horizontal platform halfway up the snowy mountain, in the white snowstorm, two mech shapes mixed together appeared. The red and white guardian mechs intertwined with the gray-green mechs on the slightly wider snow layer, confusing the judgment of everyone inside and outside the field. The action of E.M medic linking the tank slowed down.

But the KID guardian changed their previous escape pattern. Taking advantage of the time when the opponent's medic was not linking the tank to prevent damage, he, mixed among other guard shadows, swiftly maneuvered, shifting to the side of the real E.M tank. The seed blade horizontally struck the E.M tank, forcing the opponent back several steps!

"Differentiate between shadows and reality," Alex's voice calmly reminded, "Shadows are just shadows, encountering them will always be abnormal."

The distance was too close, teammates dodging attacks and launching attacks were almost moving within the same area. The E.M medic couldn't use water-based control cannons to attack these shadows. Teammates without damage reduction and anti-control red lines would also be affected by his controlled weapons...

Moreover, the platform was wide, and the snow on the ground was not as loose as the original battle position, making it difficult for KID guardian to estimate accurately. The traces of the thrusters on the ground were all mixed together, making it even harder to discern.

Just as he was contemplating identification, the speed cannon of the KID artillery mech in the high ground once again descended. The E.M medic retreated a few steps backward. In his hesitation, he was pushed back by the KID artillery mech once again. He couldn't help but curse. KID chose this position too well.

No wonder KID guardian went to this wide platform with great effort. This position was suitable for shadow diffusion. Most importantly, it was close to the snowy mountains, which could create blind spots in the field of view.

This perspective just blocked the positions of KID medic and E.M artillery in the distance, while avoiding the position of PJT artillery. It meant that other ranged mechs wanting to attack KID guardian had to move. In all attack angles, the KID artillery in the highest point of the airspace was the most comfortable.

[E.M medic is retreating!]

[What the heck are these shadows!]

The audience in the live broadcast was dumbfounded, and even the commentator didn't expect so many mech shadows to suddenly appear in the arena. Most importantly, these shadows were similar to the KID guardian' previous shadows, with independent movement rules. Moreover, under the influence of the surrounding snowstorm, it was even harder to identify them in low visibility conditions!

"What the heck, does KID's Shadow Fox ability still have this effect!?" Zhao Lejie was originally nervous to death. Seeing so many shadows come out, he was also stunned. "Is the shadow ability so useful?"

"No, there's a limit to the total number." Chi Lizi took advantage of this time to count the shadows in the field. Originally, Lin Yao could produce eight identical-looking mechs at once, but even with an additional E.M tank variation, the number of shadow mechs that could be reproduced in the field did not change. Including KID guardian and E.M tanks, there were still only ten mechs in the entire field.

This indicates that the maximum number of shadows KID guardian can control is only ten. The more shadows he turns into E.M tanks, the fewer his own shadows become.
