Days MMCXXXVI - MMCXXXVII, part II

When Tai finished eating, he swung by the bathroom and headed straight to the armory to prepare himself. He still had around an hour but putting on the armor was a bit time-consuming task, especially when doing it alone.

He stepped into the arena first, wearing his battle attire with pudao in hand. He had to wait a few minutes, but not that long, for his opponent to appear.

At first, I thought it was a fucking robot, but with a bit of observation, I figured it was a living creature, but heavily modified by mechanical parts. It was quite large overall, reaching more than three meters, with a set of six crab-like metal legs. Three on each side. The torso, connected to this moving platform, was also armored. Covered by thick plates. The head was covered by a helmet with two pipes connecting it to a device on the creature's back.

It was something completely different from what I saw on the goliath-alien back.
