Colonial Suit

“I was wrong,” Hector said magnanimously. “I admit I underestimated you. You're a tough one, even tougher than that guy called Zero.”

As he spoke, Hector casually reached under his ribs and pulled out a handful of armor fragments. These were all shattered by Blood Eye just now. Hector looked at the armor fragments in front of him, then threw them on the ground.

“Very strong attack power. If I let you hit me a little longer, I'm afraid even the inner lining would be penetrated by you. Your strange armor is very powerful, but I can guarantee it's not power armor.”

“……” Blood Eye remained silent, but a sharp glint suddenly flashed in his eyes. The bio-suit was his secret, and he would never allow anyone to pry into it.

Hector narrowed his eyes, a viper-like gaze flashing in the slits. “A rookie just starting out, actually wearing a piece of equipment whose type I can't even determine. You really are mysterious… I think Lord Rumberg will be very happy to know this news, after I deliver you to him completely intact.”

“But now… I'm done playing, kid… Prepare to die?”

As he spoke, he suddenly stretched out his hands, and two narrow arm blades popped out with a 'ding'. But this time, unlike the beginning, the arm blades emitted a faint green light, along with a slight buzzing sound.

“These two wave blades use sixth-world super-vibration technology. Although not as good as fifth-world high-frequency weapons, their lethality will definitely exceed your expectations. And I also added the venom of the Blue Serpentine. Heh heh heh heh… Kid, the poison on your hand should be taking effect, right? Vigorous exercise will accelerate your blood flow, and soon you will feel dizzy and nauseous. And then…”

“……” Blood Eye still didn't speak, but a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes.

Poisoned? How could that be?

What he wore was a bio-suit. The enhanced cells had long been integrated with him. This level of toxin wasn't even qualified to be a snack for the enhanced cells. If it weren't for paralyzing the opponent at the beginning, he wouldn't even have needed the toxin to take effect on his palm.

Hector probably never dreamed that the toxin he relied on most was completely ineffective against him, right?

However, Hector's next move surprised Blood Eye.

Amidst the sinister laughter, Hector suddenly stomped hard, and a dense cloud of smoke immediately exploded under his feet, completely hiding his body in the smoke. At the same time, the core issued a warning.

“Alert, enemy energy is abnormally rising. Construct separation. Threat level greatly increased. It is recommended to take evasive action.”

“Hmm?” Blood Eye was stunned. This was the first time he had received an evasion prompt after obtaining the complete bio-suit. This meant that the enemy's threat value had reached the bio-suit's warning line and could damage the bio-suit's main body. But how could this happen with sixth-world level armor?

It should be known that the strength of a bio-suit completely composed of units is by no means comparable to ordinary sixth-world armor. This had already been confirmed on that hunter. But Hector's armor could reach this step. Could it be that his armor was custom-made?

Not all armor in advanced worlds is standard, especially in the circle of space mercenaries. Modification and custom armor have become a common practice. In order to maximize their strength, most mercenaries do not choose standard armor, but customize an exclusive armor according to their own characteristics and habits.

But Hector was just a vassal. If he could also get custom armor, it would be troublesome. The strength assessment of a custom armor is often one level higher than that of a standard armor. In other words, although the other party's armor was a sixth-world intermediate product, its combat power was at least at the peak of sixth-world armor.

“Heh heh heh heh…” Hector's sinister laughter rang out in the smoke. A scene that surprised Blood Eye appeared.

On the ruins, two Hectors actually walked out of the smoke. Regardless of their appearance, temperament, or the scars on their armor, they were completely identical. The extreme similarity gave people the feeling of looking in a mirror.

“This is…”

Blood Eye gasped. What was going on?

“Surprised?” Hector smiled triumphantly, his two arm blades crossed in front of his chest. “Let me introduce you to my brother, Hereto. I wonder if you can withstand the attacks of the two of us?”

As soon as he finished speaking, a long contrail sprayed out from the back of the Hector on the left, and he pounced over fiercely. His compound eyes flashed with a strange ghostly light, and his speed was more than twice as fast as at the beginning. In just an instant, he came to Blood Eye's side, and with a backhand slash, he slashed at Blood Eye's waist.

Blood Eye's heart trembled, but his reaction was extremely fast. Almost at the same time, he did a backflip, just dodging the diagonal slash of the arm blade. But before he could land, another Hector happened to appear on his lower side, and two arm blades, with the buzzing of high-frequency vibrations, drew an 'x' under him!

Not good!

Blood Eye's heart was startled, but he couldn't avoid this sinister blow. He could only protect his arms in front of him, and firmly took the blow. With a tearing sound, Blood Eye felt a pain in his arm, and his whole body was pushed out by a huge force.

While his body was still in the air, two long wounds cracked open on the armor of his arms, and a large amount of bodily fluid splashed out…

“Haha… Hahahaha…” Hector laughed loudly, and then began to pursue. His movements were very fast, but the key was that he was insidious enough. He would not attack until Hereto forced Blood Eye to dodge. Moreover, his attacks were fast and ruthless, and in a few breaths, he left large and small wounds on Blood Eye's body. Among them, there were many deep wounds that had already damaged the bio-suit's enhanced tendons, making his movements sluggish.

“Warning… The enemy's attack has already damaged the bio-suit's main body. Please take evasive measures.”

The core's warning rang in Blood Eye's mind, becoming more and more urgent.

“No… Hold on a little longer…”

Blood Eye breathed heavily, but his fighting spirit became more and more intense. In this difficult moment, not only did he not retreat, but he also surged with a strong fighting spirit. He quickly thought in his mind while resisting the attacks of the two.

At this moment, Hereto was attacking his side ribs, while Hector rushed over from the other side. In a flash of lightning, Blood Eye suddenly activated the jet device, and suddenly flashed out of the two's attack!

His movements were as fast as lightning, and Hector and Hereto immediately missed and could only cross over from behind him.

Just then! Blood Eye's eyes suddenly lit up.

“So that's how it is…”

At the same time, Hereto's attack also came to him. This time, Blood Eye no longer dodged, but rushed up fiercely, allowing the other party's arm blade to leave a wound on his body, but his right fist, with a strong wind pressure, slammed into the other party's face mask.

At this time, Hector's sneak attack from behind also arrived, but Blood Eye completely ignored it, as if he hadn't seen it.

“You!?” Hereto did not expect Blood Eye to be so desperate, and was immediately startled. But it was too late to dodge. Blood Eye had been accumulating this punch for a long time, how could he dodge it in a hurry?

With a muffled sound of “bang”, Hereto flew out, and his helmet fell apart in mid-air, turning into countless fragments splashing everywhere.

At the same time, another Hector's sneak attack also hit Blood Eye's back solidly. With the power of his arm blade, this blow would at least seriously injure Blood Eye. But something that no one could have imagined happened.

Hector's knife actually passed through Blood Eye's body, but did not hurt Blood Eye at all!

“As expected!”

Blood Eye didn't move, allowing Hector's figure to pass through his body, and then turned his gaze to Hereto, who had just climbed up in the distance.

He was extremely embarrassed at the moment, the armor on his head had been shattered, revealing the dense parts and circuits below. His face was bruised and swollen, and blood was flowing. This was because he was lucky. Blood Eye's punch was more of a test than an attack, otherwise this punch alone would have been enough to break his neck bones.

Gasping for breath, Hereto's expression was ferocious. He stumbled to his feet and stared at Blood Eye fiercely, gritting his teeth and asking.

“You… How did you find out…”

“Because of Miya's warning. She told me to be careful of the shadows.” Blood Eye ignored Hereto's vicious gaze and answered coldly.

“I've always wondered why she told me to be careful of the shadows, what's so scary about the shadows. Also, from the beginning, I discovered that you are an ability user, but I didn't see you use your ability. But after you used this technique just now, I felt that there were some clues. The shadow refers to your clone. In other words, there is no Hereto at all, they are all fake. You created a phantom that can be mistaken for real, and then switch between the main body. In this way, you can take the opportunity to launch sneak attacks, and you can also use the main body to create real damage.

The most important thing is that because you are switching with the shadow yourself, there is no cooperation problem, and you can perfectly realize your combat intentions. And ordinary people will find it difficult to even persevere under your pincer attack. Even if they have doubts, they will never dare to try to crack it at the risk of injury.”

“But…” Blood Eye pointed to himself. “I dare.”

“……” After listening to Blood Eye's explanation, Hector was stunned for a while, and then suddenly laughed strangely. “I didn't expect that there would really be someone who could crack this move. I thought that no one but Lord Rumberg would discover this secret. But so what? You just happened to catch my main body. My holographic technology has no flaws. If you really have a way, try to catch me again.”

As he spoke, Hector waved his hand, and another phantom immediately changed, turning into his current appearance… Even the injuries were exactly the same.

“Don't blame me for not reminding you… Although it is a holographic image created by my armor, my ability allows me to switch positions with it at any time… If you catch the wrong one… You may even lose your life…”

Hector smiled sinisterly, a trace of bloodthirsty light flashing in his eyes.
