Grave Situation :-

Cyrops Pov:-

Right after i exited the category 5 ship, i was immediately assaulted with a notification:-

" Stilius Hiremen has fallen in battle".

I was instantly filled with rage and thought to myself ' First Ernfield and now Stilius'.

I increased my pace and hurried through the battlefield to where the last notification mentioned Stilius and Ernfields death.

As i stumbled here and there, suddenly my eye caught onto something, black.

I scanned the mech from afar with my scanner and i sensed some life signals from it.

Following my curiosity, i made my way towards the black mech. A few dozen meters away from it, i managed to see a red symbol etched on the right side of its neck.

' What's a royalty doing here?' I thought to myself as symbols were only allowed for royal mechs.

As i touched the symbol on its neck, a notification sprung up in my face,

*Rank 3 Jason Monalich of a Minor Royal Family :- Red Bees*

The Royaltys were considered the cream of the crop and all matters related to the empire were controlled by them. Even higher positions in the army such as Generals or Supreme Generals were all held by them, thus the shock after seeing one such Royalty in such a critical state. Plus the crest seemed extremely similar.

I became excited as my gaze became fervent and ran up and down the mech and i lightly held up the Mech and ran back towards the category 5 battleship because the Royal Mech was in critical condition.

"So you were my Mentor Akira Monalichs son, at the least i can do to repay her for saving my life is saving her sons in turn."

As he thought upto this point, he couldnt help but remember the back of a valiant and beautifull red female mech fighting againt hundreds of Rank 4 and several Rank 5 Mutant beasts with hardly any effort. With every swing of her sabre, heads and limbs would fly and corpses would fall down every minute.

I was a rank 5 back then but was in critical condition as i was facing 2 Rank 5 Mutant beasts, 1 humanoid wolf and the other a 50 meter long wywern. Its sheer size caused fear among the hearts of its enemies.

I jumped as the ground where i was previously was destroyed by a large dust tornado, the core ability of the wywern.

I opened up my shoulders and several cannons popped up and started shooting energy balls crazily at the wywerns forehead causing it some harm and bodily injury.

Just as i felt slightly relaxed, i sensed great killing intent and so jumped forwards but my critical condition coupled with the werewolfs insane speed cuased me to fly into one of the sand dunes and 4 deep gashes to be strewn accross my chest.

' Shit', i thought to myself as i saw those large Grey claws moving towards my face.

Suddenly the wolf retracted its claws and jumped 20 meters to the right and the place it previously was present was occupied by a red afterimage which also dissapeared after the wolf.

The wolf and the afterimage both were in a contest of speed.

Suddenly, the wolf as if annoyed turned back and slashed its right claw at the red afterimage.

Akira as if expecting that attack retaliated by swinging her sabre downwards completely cutting off his right claw then proceeding to swing the sabre once more leaving a huge gash.

The wolf activated its innate ability as a huge tornadoe swept it up and it ran at a much faster pace.

"Hmmph, today will be your death day." akira coldly snorted before her back opened up to reveal two large wings and two small wings with a large Red Rank 6 Power Stone powering these wings.

With a flap of her wings, she appeared in front of the wolf and swung her sabre detaching the wolfs head from from its body.

"Amazing" my eyes gleamed brightly, obviously i had already fallen in her admiration.

Akira was suddenly flanked by 6 subordinates of her.

The one in the front kneeled on one knee and the others followed in his heels.

"Esteemed Noble Akira, its always been a pleasure to see you in battle."

Akira nodded slightly before disappearing off to another battlefield swiftly taking care of the other Rank 5 Mutant Beasts, who was the main threat of the battlefield.

"Here let me help you." one of the mechs who followed akira said as he forwarded his hand to me.

"Thanks" i replied grumply.

I stared deeply at the battlefield.

The mech noticed my strange expression on my face and asked in a laughing manner "why aren't you gonna head there?" As he said this he poked lightly at the claw wounds on my chest and laughed before heading towards one of the battlefields.

I didnt mind his laugh as i was deep in my thoughts 'usually for so many Rank 5 Mutants to gather, there must be a Rank 6 Powerhouse holding the charge but there is obviously been no signs of one but Rank 5 Mutant Beasts despise grouping together unless they are of the same clan but the mutant beasts here all belong to different varieties. What are we missing here? Somethings wrong, i can feel it, but what is it that we are missing. A rank 6 must be nearby but why cant we see it?! '

Currently cyclops was enshrouded by a foreboding feeling and he constantly felt something amiss.

' Where can it be, the Rank 6 Mutant Beast? '

As he was pondering over the Rank 6 Mutant Beast, he saw in the distance a Rank 4 mech fighting a Rank 4 Mutant Leopard.

As he thought about helping the mech, suddenly, he saw the mech dissappear from its location and there was a hole where it stood.

Although the mechs disappearance was highly unusual and extremely fast, fast enough to make everyone else not pay any attention to it.

Even the Rank 4 Mutant Beast leopard that was fighting it was in disbelief as it was just fighting a mech and the next moment it just disappeared however it shook it off his mind and proceeded to latch on its next prey.

The battle was ongoing as if the sudden dissapearance of the mech never occurred, but cyrops had clearly seen everything and was currently extremely tense.

Right before the mech had jumped at the mutant beast, a white hairy hand shot out at explosive speed befire grabbing the mech and forcefully dragging it in.

'The Rank 6 Mutant Beasts were inside the ground' cyrops sucked in a cold gush of breath.

Such a terrifying thought. Cyclops was shaken to his core. ' Since when did Rank 6 Mutant Beasts possess such intelligence.'

As his gaze turned slightly to the left, his heart was filled with horrors beyond his imagination as he saw Akira rapidly killing the mutant beasts however the result was that she was slowly coming near the hole where the Mech had just disappeared.

" Its a Trap!!!" i shouted with all my might. However it was too late as she was only 20 meters away.

"Rmmm" "Brrhhh" sounds of the earth cracking could be heard as the surface of the ground burst apart and a 1/4 of a kilometer long Mutant beast revealed itself. It opened it's mouth hard to bite on Akira and despite Akiras attempt to escape, she was still trapped and as a result akiras left hand was severed.

Akria was now in mid air looking down below with a grim expression.

Right below was the 250 Meters long Rank 5 Earth Turtle looking like a titan among the various beasts and was even larger then some of the remaining Rank 5 Mutant beasts by a great degree.

However, the Rank 5 Earth Turtle wasnt the main threat as akira using her superior sight could distinguish Two Humanoid Mutant with a much powerfull aura on top of it.

Obviously they were Rank 6 Mutant Beasts and much powerfull ones at that.

"You sons of ******, you dare to hurt Lady Akira. Pay your crimes in Blood." One of Akiras Mech subordinate jumped at the mutant beasts with a large Category 5 Energy Cannon.

"No stop" i shouted as the Mech was not its match but it was already too late as the Mutant Cat slightly smirked before dissapearing from its position and reappearing with the severed head of the mech that had just jumped to attack it.

It slightly exerted some force completely smashing the head in.

This was the might of a Rank 6 able to kill whoever they wished. An Absolute Tyrant.

The difference between a Rank 5 and Rank 6 was much bigger then the difference between a Rank 4 and Rank 5 and this difference only increased after one broke to higher Realms.

Currently, there were 3 Sides in this battle.

One were the 2 Rank 6 Mutant Beasts. The second was cyrops, the 4 Mech Subordinates and 2 of the other Rank 4 Mechs who were stationed back at the City.

The last Was Akira, the sole Rank 6 Mech.

Of the Two Mutant Beasts, one was a 4.5 Meter Tall Rank 6 Humanoid Cat Mutant Beast with pure white fur and long claws and the other was a 8 Meter Tall Peak Rank 6 Silver humanoid Lizard holding a Large Spear.

Every side was cautiously looking at each other.

Akira looked at the humanoid lizard more wearily then it did at the Humanoid Cat, obviously, the threat it felt from the former was much more then what it felt from tbe latter.

Having made up her mind, Akira had a bright gleam in her mechanical eyes. Suddenly great power erupted from her body as her body was pushed to the limit and grew to 5 meters tall and 2 additional wings sprouted from her back.

*Blood Sabre final form:- sizzling dragon*

The sabre in her hand became extremely hot and was covered in a sheet of magma.

The sheet of magma was so hot that the surroundings were engulfed in flames.

The humanoid Lizard grew excited looking at akiras rising Battle Prowess and started dashing madly towards her.

The other humanoid cat started running towards the group of mechs disregarding cyrops as he was far away.

The mecha were prepared and had already set up a shield.

A Light Blue Shield covered the mechs but they knew that the shield wouldn't last much longer as they were Facing a higher Rank Mutant Beast.

"Boom!!!" "Pang!" "Clang!" sounds of clashes could be heard ringing in everyones head as the Humanoid Mutant Cat was swinging its claws like crazy. The shield was bound to collapse soon but for the time being it had managed to block the Humanoid cats assault.

From far away Cyrops was looking anxiously at the Humanoid Lizard as he knew that the threat it presented was much more then the Humanoid cat and Akira had to face it alone thus showing the degree of danger she took upon herself.

Akira was currently flying far away from their position but though she was fast, the Humanoid lizard was using its naturally buff physique to chase after akira and the distance gradually shortened.

"Shit what should i do? They wont last much longer shit,shit, shit."​

As he gazed at Akiras back, suddenly a notification sprung up in his head and he saw from afar Akira motioning with her hand.

*Ting*

"Message from Minor Royalty Akira"

Do you accept?

Yes No

A bolt of realization struck him as he read the message and he nodded fiercely before taking out a Category 5 Shield, he ran crazily towards the humanoid cat.

The humanoid cat was still unsuccessfull in breaching the mechs on the other side of the shield. This was so because while it was extremely agile, it came on a compromise of its strength and even a Rank 5 Strength based Mutant Beast might win againt it in terms of strenth.

However while it was weaker in terms of strength, that didn't mean that cyrops alone couldnt defend against it with a shield powered with a single Rank 5 Power Stone. Thus, in the humanoid cats as well as the surrounding mechs eyes, Cyrops was seeking death.

The humanoid cat stopped attacking the mechs and turned towards cyrops.

What was a Rank 6 Mutant beasts might, "Phenomenal" was one word that could be used to describe it and now cyrops had to face it alone, it obviously gave him chills just thinking about it, but he knew that it was imperative that he saw through the plan.

Within seconds, cyrops had manged to reach the mechs side and now the mutant cat was covered on three sides by the blue shields.

"What are you doing?"

"Fool you are gonna kill yourself."

The mechs bellowed as they had firsthand experienced the Humanoid Mutant Cats terror.

However, cyrops payed them no heed and continued to firmly stand in front of the humanoid cat.

The humanoid cat glanced arrogantly before slashing down at cyrops.

"Pang"

Cyrops was shaken to the point his body was convulsing but he remained standing.

Irritated it gave another slash.
