Southern Shield Upcoming Endless Battle

As the battle between the heroes and the mighty Machine Herald presumed, Southern Shield pinned the heedful stare and gripped the golden shield with his left hand into the gloomy space he was trapped in for now. The Arrogant Shaolin opened pondering lips as he ventured further.

The only thing Southern Shield's sight captured was an interior filled with a dark-green color. A dark-green color that also omitted a dusty white mist either beneath him or the wall on every left and right.

The Arrogant Shaolin furrowed annoyed eyes as he felt the ticklish, yet shivering touch by the mist surrounding him. Southern Shield kept prolonging the wandering stare with him back and forth surveying the misty wall and floor.

He blew a reluctant sigh as his fist shook in the heat of finding an opponent who hadn't revealed their unexpected presence. More steps were taken, Southern Shield grunted in bitter annoyance due to the only thing he found was a congesting mist fled slowly.

"I would rather fight some mindless drone to face rather than take a walk in this empty wasteland." Southern Shield bickered, "I thought a bizarre machine man like him could bring a thrilling surprise."

"Instead, he decided to keep me here like a naughty dog." Southern Shield added, "You're literally a coward and not worthy for me to land a punch."

Southern Shield began to gaze at the misty-green sky view on above with him presuming the wandering steps in this wasteland. Then, he shook his head and groaned, hitting up the irritation of not finding any glimpse for his future foe.

"Haven't found an interesting opponent yet, Southern Shield." A gentle voice of Mistress Foreseen echoed through his mind.

Southern Shield chuckled, "Not yet, Temple Ghost."

Then, Southern Shield furrowed a puzzling look towards his fellow Shaolin's friend's presence within the mind. He halted the stepping feet as blowing up a brief sigh, preparing himself to engage in a telepathic conversation with Mistress Foreseen, and filled a refreshing time inside this empty wasteland.

"How can you have a telepathic connection active here especially in this kind of area?" Southern Shield argued, "While last time when I got pummell by the Seductress, you said it didn't work."

Southern Shield smirked and continued the telepathic conversation, "Is it just sheer luck that this area can be passed through?"

Mistress Foreseen giggled, "It is a sheer luck and half of it…is I'm actually training my telepathy too."

"So I can pass through his mighty defenses." Mistress Foreseen exclaimed with a cheerful voice. "It's also not as strong as The Distrunian Mental barrier. That's one of the reasons I can still communicate with you"

"Or just convenient luck falls to your hand once again" Southern Shield baffled and opened a wide smirk.

"Well." Mistress Foreseen replied happily, "Besides, I just detected an interesting opponent within here. Not just one, but around ten of them standing in the front line."

Thrilling excitement heated up Southern Shield's head as extended a delightful grin towards the front side of his. He witnessed a silhouette of jade shadowy frail figures emerging from the gloomy mist and revealed the crystal clear picture through The Arrogant Shaolin eyes.

More specifically, ten armies of greenish shadowy-cloak ninja with clean-grayish armor with the glowing jade core planted on the middle of the chest and metal thin-arms similar to a skeleton. The left one eye shimmered, a neon-yellow light was planted on the shrouding-black spider head-like head.

A spider head-shape that had two pairs of fang lightened up a blood-red light within the glassy surface. The lower part of the robots were four sets of crimson spider legs nailed to the misty ground and all ten of them locked a predatory sight onto the one victim who extended the thrilling grin.

"I believe you can beat all of those robots with ease, but do not lower your guard." Mistress Foreseen's telepathic voice shared a piece of advice.

Southern Shield chuckled with heated confidence, firing up, "Of course, Temple Ghost. I'll be very careful with those armies"

"They may look bizarre, but they are quite fun to be my punching practice." Southern Shield exclaimed confidently.

The Arrogant Shaolin immediately rushed towards the group of the shrouding robot as his fighting desire enforced him. He heaved the golden shield that engulfed the yellow aura on the entire surface like a sun rising through the darkness due it brightened the path forward.

The Shrouding robots rallied together with the blowing of the green mist burst out from its back. Furthermore, four robots lifted its hand that clawed out a shark-jaw talon that outshone an exact blood-red light similar to its teeth.

While the rest of them decided to jounce onto the right side in a single-cross movement and left a trail of mist levitated shortly. The other six shrouding robots opened the predatory fangs and kept moving at the rushing Southern Shield distance, acting as a first interceptor.

Hence, Southern Shield hurled away from the golden shield horizontal and freely spun the shimmering surface to obtain a speed boost with the wind flow. The golden shield quickly pierced through the robot in the middle, turning its motion into a stagger especially when its forehead got chopped off by the impaling movement.

The buzzing movement was indeed similar to a person being forced to be cut by a saw. The shrouding robot on the middle omitted surging-green electricity from the neck and eventually shut down the light's traces on the one eye before falling down onto the ground, letting the shield bounce forward.

Another target had fallen for the golden shield victim as it was another shrouding robot on the back-left, had its core being impaled by the sharp edge of the shield. Not only the yellow light within the one eye flickered out, the core shattered into a scattering neon-green piece showering the mist ground below.

As the shrouding robot being marked by the golden shield was about to fall, Southern Shield sprinted his feet onto the left as the robot closed with him attempting to land its fang. It made the blood-red fangs fail even though it was an inch closer to impaling the target's skin.

Moreover, Southern Shield tackled the shrouding robot's on the face with a tightened knuckle of his as he received a striking opportunity after dodging the robot's bite. The single tackle pounded the robot onto the ground and left a smashed mark on the face, surging out jade electricity as it staggered unsteadily.

The third kill for the robot didn't encourage the other to back down from The Arrogant Shaolin with two of them pushed forward with glaring fangs. Glaring fangs that went on either the unprotected neck and punching fist of Southern Shield he quickly retrieved back.

Southern Shield freed a deceptive smirk even though both shrouding robots closed the gap of his chance from escaping especially with the thrusting fang getting closer on landing. A golden wave gleamed all over his body before letting The Arrogant Shaolin vanish from the rough scene.

Therefore, the shrouding robot's bloody-light fangs only biting the intangible due to the target's physical presence being no longer available. The robot raised its head for initiating a quick survey on finding Southern Shield.

Then, the sharp-one eye of the shrouding robot pinned at their fallen comrade corpse from afar. A corpse with a golden shield remained to impale its shattered core part and two robots near the corpse glanced down.

The other two robots darted their one eye to the golden shield engulfed golden sparkles from the spinning surface, forming a well-built man silhouette. Hence, the two robots rushed onto the golden humanoid that dissolved every sparkle in an instance and presented Southern Shield's smooth return.

The Arrogant Shaolin levered the three of his tightened fingers to the left side as the other two robots opened their bloody jaws and raised the golden shield away from the robot's corpse. The golden shield swiftly flung through the rushing two robots precisely on the neck and severed the connection between the head.

Hence, the other two robot's heads burst out up to the sky as their headless body flabbergasted after being chopped off by the golden shield-sharpened blade. Surging-jade electricity roared through the decapitated spot as all of them rested on the ground, meeting their own death door for the short-life period.

Southern Shield gave a brief sigh of relief when he witnessed two of the headless robot's corpses. He also watched the head finally fall down on the misty ground and land beside its master's body, letting The Arrogant Shaolin calmly close his eyes for less than a second.

"It's lucky this is not human." Southern Shield murmured proudly as winced at the thrilling eyes of the two decapitated robots, "Instead, it's just a mindless machine, which is a relief since I just initiated a lot of killing moves.

The Arrogant Shaolin gave a challenging glare towards the remaining five robots who hadn't fallen through his hand. Southern Shield clenched both of the fists before he upraised it into his front sight.

He pressed both of the kneecaps as the five robots rallied forward in his direction for their last-ditch effort on landing a hit at him. A burst of satisfaction laughter was declared by Southern Shield's toward the desperate opponent and decided to pursue them by running closer.

The golden shield fled freely on the back like a chakram due to Southern Shield flipping his tightened three fingers on the back and engulfed a glimmering golden sparkle on the spinning edge parts. The sparkles swarmed the metal surface of the shield before dissolving altogether into nothingness.

A clenching fist was hoisted by Southern Shield beside his cheeks and repositioned into a straight-line punching position as running closer for stumbling at the five robots who declared a rally. Starving neon-red jaws were dropped by all the robots for their main weapon of intercept.

Hence, Southern Shield and the shrouding robots were about to create a clashing strike with one another. A thrilling grin was widely opened by The Arrogant Shaolin when he stepped narrow with the distance of the rallying robot.

He also let out a chuckle as glancing at the right just to witness a fleeting golden shield respawn and approached the lined up five robots. The golden shield smoothly chopped off three of the robot heads in one fleeing strike as their head hovered in the misty sky.

The other two robots quickly leaped back their body when the golden shield was about to slash their head. It allowed them to touch a safe zone from being chopped like the unlucky comrades as the shield just continuously fled even if there was no enemy detected yet.

Although the survivors of the massacre could feel a sense of safety with the golden shield suddenly being devoured by golden sparkles till it became nothing, it only lasted a brief second. They watched Southern Shield initiate a swift dash by bouncing on rushing feet on the ground and one of those robots got a misfortune fate.

The Arrogant Shaolin plunged the straight-line fist on one of the robot's gleaming cores and shattered it with a single strike at the same time, scattering the pieces onto the misty ground. The unlucky shrouding robot staggered unsteadily before flickered out the shimmering eye.

Southern Shield pulled off the tightened fist that was letting the impale-chested robots falling down onto the ground lifelessly. A satisfied, closed-lips smile was released by him as he turned around towards the last robot.

The punching fist swiftly switched into a three-lined-up finger that Southern Shield hoisted beside his chin. A delighted giggle was released by The Arrogant Shaolin especially when the golden shield emerged from the backside of the robot and engulfed golden sparkles on the feet.

The last robot steered the cautious sight onto the back when it heard a fleeing sound of the shield going closer onto it. In quick succession, the last robot pierced through the misty ground with its spider leg and initiated a smooth evading jump to the left when the golden shield flew closer.

However, an abrupt thing occurred for the last robot due to the fleeing golden shield channeling out a golden sparkle that formed a humanoid shape in less than a second. The shrouding robot witnessed Southern Shield enter the scene by tributing all the golden sparkle presence until nothing left.

Southern Shield shoved a straight-line kick by forcing his body to bounce away from the surrounding air. The kick smoothly landed onto the last robot precisely on the core and shattered into pieces like the previous robot.

Eventually, the enlightened light within the last robot blinked out after receiving a devastating kick on the chest. The Arrogant Shaolin flipped back his body in order to retrieve the kick from the robot's core.

He watched the last robot fall onto the misty ground when his feet began to touch the misty ground. Southern Shield exhaled the burdening air away as he finally defeated all the ten robots with ease.

"Last robot has been defeated by my hand, what a relief and kind of..satisfying." Southern Shield exclaimed proudly, "Even though I defeated all of them with one strike."

The Arrogant Shaolin gazed down his opened palm and expanded a gladful smirk before he flexed it for a couple of seconds. Vanishing the stiffness was spent by The Arrogant Shaolin as the flexing hand became aggressive with each second passed.

Then, Southern Shield's sharpened hearing caught a noise of rushing steps approaching him. The Arrogant Shaolin let out a relieving chuckle as he also began to capture a high-pitch hissing.

"I'm aware I'm still not yet as strong as Sparror or even Blue Winter, but at least I'm happier to continue life." Southern Shield murmured happily, "Happier to continue life as a Shaolin Warrior or even just a monk who wanted to keep training.

A flashing picture of his long-lost lover, Mayuri flashed through The Arrogant Shaolin mind. Moreover, she opened a cheering smile that convinced Southern Shield to let out a sheepish giggle after the picture vanished in an instance.

"To be honest, I still wanted to see you one more time, Mayuri." Southern Shield uttered with a whimpering smile, "Your death remained affecting my warrior's soul until this day, but there is a difference than before."

Southern Shield sighed, "I don't become that disgraceful weakling who tried so hard to be something I never want."

"A proud-thirsty warrior who wasted the golden shield into useless power boost." Southern Shield exclaimed, "Got toyed by Sparror, being dominated by that annoying Doctress, and couldn't even stand a chance against the mighty Blue Winter."

"That's a good announcement, Southern Shield." The telepathic voice of Mistress Foreseen echoed through Southern Shield mind's in a praising tone.

Southern Shield chuckled and engaged in the telepathic conversation," Well thanks for the abrupt praise, Temple Ghost."

"Yes and good luck on facing the next wave of enemy." Mistress Foreseen announced a warning, "They are around hundreds of them, and of course, Maduruma person trapped you in here not for killing you."

"Just try to slow me down from him, what a coward."Southern Shield guessed.

"Precisely."

Southern Shield stretched the pressing kneecaps and hoisted the lined-up fingers in front of his sight as he witnessed a large wave of enemies. Hundreds of shrouding robots opened their blood-red jaws inside the rallying wave, declaring another round of fighting the swarming army with ten times the amount than the previous one.
