Chapter 95 - Your Weakness

All of us stood frozen in stunned silence as the thunderous shockwave from the punch rippled through the air. Bits of scorched metal and shattered plating scattered like confetti across the arena, clanging against the floor and walls. Myrrh's Frame Unit lay eerily still, sprawled across the battleground like a defeated knight in a field of debris.

Fei turned to me, her synthetic eyes wide with panic, voice trembling with guilt.
"I—I'm sorry! I just... we're in the middle of a fight, so I saw my chance and—bam! I punched you in the face!" she cried, her words tumbling out like a confession.

That snapped me out of my shock. I clenched my fist and grinned, my voice rising with excitement.
"Nice one, Fei! That was a textbook headshot! Myrrh's gotta be out cold after that one!"

"R-really? Hooray!" Fei beamed, raising her gleaming metallic arms high in the air like she'd just won the intergalactic heavyweight championship.

"Well done, Fei," came a calm, feminine voice—too familiar.

Our cheers were cut short as a sharp mechanical whine sliced through the tension. Myrrh's Frame Unit stirred. Metal groaned as she slowly rose from the wreckage. Her armored head was crushed on one side, sparks flickering from exposed wires, and only one blue LED eye flickered defiantly in the darkness.

"But it'll take more than that to bring me down," she said, voice distorted yet unwavering.

"Oh shit," I breathed, watching in horror as Myrrh suddenly dashed forward like a missile launched from hell.

"Aaaah!" Fei screamed. But instead of dodging, she just stood there, arms flailing.

"Hyah!" Myrrh shouted as she launched into the air, foot extended in a precision flying kick straight toward Fei's chest.

Fei barely managed to raise her arms in time. The impact rang out like a gong, and sparks flew as Myrrh's kick collided with Fei's metal limbs. The force was enough to send her skidding back, armor chipped and sizzling, but she held her ground.

"Kian! Make yourself useful and give me some weapons—now!" Myrrh barked, her voice echoing with raw intensity.

"Y-Yes! Yes Ma'am!" Kian stammered, fumbling with his interface before slamming his palm onto the WEEB System. A holographic menu flickered to life. "Laser Sword, Equip—x2!"

With a surge of light, two cybernetic summoning circles shimmered into existence on either side of Myrrh. From their glowing centers, she reached out and grasped the twin hilts of energy blades. The weapons ignited with a piercing vwoom, bathing her in a sharp violet glow.

Without hesitation, Myrrh launched herself like a bullet, soaring across the battlefield toward Fei.

"Eeeek!" Fei yelped, throwing her hands up in a panic. The laser swords came down like twin guillotines—but her hands, still coated in the energy of the Divine Fist, caught the blades mid-swing with a shower of sparks.

Searing energy screeched through the air as metal met plasma, the clash lighting up the space like a firework show gone wrong.

"Kuhhh—!" Fei grunted, struggling under the pressure, teeth clenched and eyes wide with panic.

But the Divine Fist was reaching its limit.

[Divine Fist: 00:03]
[Divine Fist: 00:02]
[Divine Fist: 00:01]
[Divine Fist Disabled]

At that moment, the golden-orange glow around Fei's arms flickered out like dying embers. Her defenses vanished in a blink—and Myrrh's twin laser swords carved through her metallic limbs like hot knives through butter. With a hiss and a spray of sparks, Fei's severed arms clattered onto the floor, the glowing blades having sliced straight through to her elbows, leaving behind molten steel and twitching wires.
