"Your perseverance is the best of all the opponents I've ever faced, and you're still able to get back up after being so badly injured."

Auston licked the blood on the Triangular Prick with the tip of his tongue, narrowed his eyes, and a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "However, in many cases, perseverance can only be exchanged for pain, and cannot achieve victory. ”

"If you don't try, how do you know?"

Ignoring Auston's taunts, Zoro lowered his hands at his sides and arched his back slightly, like a strong bow of the full moon, ready to attack.

"Haha......" Auston laughed insolently, glanced at several wounds on Zhuo Luo's body, and his face instantly turned cold: "Ridiculous stubbornness." ”

Scold! ~ Before the aftermath of Auston dissipated, Zoro took the lead in the attack. After three consecutive steps of sudden acceleration, Zoro rushed towards Auston with dizzying speed, like a black shadow close to the ground.

Zoro has a high speed that is difficult for ordinary people to capture, and in previous battles, relying on his speed and agility of up to the fourth order, opponents have often slit their throats before they can see his movements. But this time, Auston, his opponent, has a more terrifying speed than Zoro.

Unlike Zolona, which relies on movement and pace to form a variable speed, Auston's speed is an instantaneous speed that is purely static. Therefore, the battle between the two is completely a battle of extreme speed between movement and stillness. But judging by the results so far, it is clear that Auston has the upper hand.

In fact, during an encounter a few weeks earlier, Auston had a brief encounter with Drowlo. At that time, both sides were equipped with heavy infantry armor and each led his troops to charge at the other.

As the arrows of attack on both sides, Auston and Zoro had encountered each other in a chaotic battle, and Zoro was the only Republic soldier to survive a head-on confrontation with Auston at the time. Later, due to the rapid retreat of the Republic's paratroopers, the duel between Auston and Zolo did not continue, but through that encounter, both sides were deeply impressed by each other.

For a master of Auston's level, a confrontation is enough for him to see through the opponent's attack characteristics and offensive line, so now facing Zhuo Luo again, Auston has formed a comprehensive suppression of Zhuo Luo from the beginning of the battle, making Zhuo Luo's inscrutable instantaneous speed change useless, and those wounds on Zhuo Luo's body are often caused by the moment when the knife is released after the speed change, which is caused by the static braking Auston after the first strike.

Now, I see that Zolo is unrepentant and still obsessed with the shifting speed he is good at. While letting out a disdainful sneer, Auston was engrossed in observing Zolo's movements, trying to capture the flaws exposed at the moment when Zolo stabbed out.

But just when Auston thought that Zoro would be stabbed by himself like before, Zolo, who was already quickly approaching, suddenly changed several footsteps in a row. Within a few meters, Zoro used his seemingly messy steps to sway in front of Auston's eyes, causing Auston's vision to suddenly blur.

"Mirror! ～”

When Auston suddenly sensed that something was wrong, his gaze suddenly flickered over the figure of the five Zhuoluo.

The astonishment caused by this moment made Auston miss the fleeting plane, and suddenly, an intense crisis almost like a pinprick enveloped Auston, and the terrifying murderous aura that burst out in an instant from Zhuo Luo even made Auston have the illusion of a numb scalp.

Scold! ~ When the silver light flickered, Auston jumped up like catkins in the wind, and after striking Zhuo Luo in mid-air, he volleyed and fell into the distance with a slight embarrassment.

Looking down at a wound that suddenly cracked on his left shoulder, a flash of anger suddenly appeared between Auston's eyebrows: "You actually 'mirror'?" ”

Not far away, Zhuo Luo gasped weakly and violently. He stared regretfully at the injury in Auston's left shoulder, and with what he knew, this level of injury could not have much impact on Auston's combat effectiveness, which meant that he had missed the best opportunity to kill Auston.

And what he had just used to confuse Auston's judgment was the 'mirror image' of one of the Republic's twelve special abilities.

The greatest effect of 'mirroring' is to cause the enemy to have a visual illusion, accompanied by a mirage-like visual illusion, so that the opponent forms a wrong judgment at the moment of attack.

In the Nine Star Republic, the special ability of 'mirroring' can be said to be one of the special abilities with the lowest threshold. As long as you have 4 levels of speed and 4 levels of agility, you will be able to meet the basic requirements of fusing into 'Mirrors', and the spawn rate is the highest 17 percent of the 12 special abilities listed.

However, whether it is in the Nine Star Republic or the Raymond Federation, 'Mirroring' is considered a relatively weak special ability.

This is because most fighters believe that with enough speed and agility, a short distance of high-speed direction change is enough to cause the enemy to have a delusion. Side effects such as angle differences, distances, and displacements caused by optical illusions are enough to create the opportunity to kill, so the mirage formed by the 'mirror' must consume a lot of heat energy is simply a snake painting. Moreover, if it is simply a visual error, there is no need to form additional requirements for special abilities, and any soldier whose basic ability meets this standard is likely to make the enemy produce visual afterimage.

Therefore, the large amount of calories consumed by 'Mirroring' is the main reason why the soldiers regard it as chicken ribs. Because in order to form a mirage, you first have to make a huge difference in the density of the surrounding air. Therefore, at the moment of releasing the 'mirror', a large amount of heat in the body must be released, and the high temperature generated by the outer layer of the skin is used to dilute the air density, so that the light rays are refracted through the air layers of different densities to form a mirage that is false and real.

In terms of effect, the effect of 'mirroring' is definitely stronger than simple optical illusion, just like when facing an opponent of Auston's level, simple optical illusion can no longer have an effect on him. However, the heat in the body is the basis for the formation of strength, and the use of a large amount of heat to form a mirage without attacking surnames makes most warriors feel that the surname value ratio of the 'mirror' is too low, and discard it.

But compared to other Republic warriors, Zhuo Luo was born in the wilderness, and his parents were both pioneers of Venus, so he grew up in a harsh environment and was good at distributing the heat in his body from an early age. A long time ago, he discovered that he didn't need to consume too many calories to reach the upper limit of muscle strength, and most of the calories were actually unconsciously emitted by the human body. So, since then, he has consciously controlled his own heat dissipation, so that the body's utilization rate of heat is much higher than that of others.

Under this long-term conscious control, his body has unconsciously undergone a huge change, becoming like an energy-saving lamp, which can use a small amount of heat energy to urge the muscles to bring out strong mechanical force, and reach the upper limit of muscle strength.

Therefore, the heat consumption required to form a 'mirror image' is not a waste of resources for him, but a more rational use of heat. After realizing that the optical error caused by speed alone could not interfere with Auston's judgment, 'Mirroring' became his only magic weapon to win.

At this moment, after carefully experiencing the calorie consumption in his body, Zhuo Luo judged that he should be able to use the 'Mirror Image' two more times, and these only two chances would determine the final outcome of this battle.

"Hmph...... If I were you, I would never use 'mirroring' a second time. Seeing Zoro adjust his breathing and begin to slowly approach him, Auston sneered in a stabbing stance.

And Zhuo Luo was obviously unmoved, using the instant acceleration of the big stride, he rushed towards Auston again, and with more variable steps than before, he instantly pulled out six visual afterimages that were completely impossible to distinguish between the real and the fake.

But at this moment, Auston suddenly closed his eyes unexpectedly.

In a state of complete abandonment of visual judgment, his body emits ultrasound waves at high frequencies and uses his ears to receive echoes, forming a bat-like echolocation.

Under this invisible sound wave detection, Zhuo Luo's 'mirror image' was completely disintegrated. Using the echo of ultrasonic waves that return at the speed of sound, Auston instantly finds Drowlo's true body, and stabs the triangular spur in his hand like lightning the moment he makes a slashing motion.

'Poof! ～’

Zhuo Luo's long-standing killing blow was shattered, and he opened his mouth to spurt out a mouthful of blood, and looked down at the two triangular military thorns that pierced his chest.

At this moment, a large stream of blood splashed out from the triangular thorn blood trough, looking at Zhuo Luo's instantly pale face, Auston kicked it out, spinning the bloody triangular thorn and laughing: "My 'vocal range' is the natural enemy of your 'mirror image', when you meet me, you can only blame yourself for your own bad fate!" ”

Rumble! ~ Suddenly, a high-explosive grenade exploded from the air, and in the sudden light, countless shrapnel rained down on Auston, who was covered in blood.

At the critical moment, Auston flew the roof of the hangar under his feet with his toes at the last moment, and at the moment when he used the metal steel plate to block the shrapnel, Auston flew back and instantly moved away from the attack range of the grenade.

"Who is it?"

Auston angrily looked in the direction where the grenade was thrown, but he was greeted by the furious fire of the MX8 heavy assault rifle.

If Auston had been armed with heavy infantry armor, he would have been able to ignore the rain of bullets and rush forward to kill the sneak attacker who dared to offend him. But now, without the armor of the heavy infantry, he could not ignore the deadly strafing fire, so he could only jump into the hangar in a hasty dodge, using the cover of the building to avoid the attackers' fire.

"Zhuoluo! ～”

Robin, who leaped from the top of another hangar, slammed into Zhuo Luo's side, and saw Zhuo Luo collapsed in a pool of blood, and immediately hurriedly took out a hemostatic spray to stop the bleeding of Zhuo Luo's wound.
