"The attack is ineffective? Why is it like this? They all hit obviously."
Aihara Ryu in the Wing was quite confused. He was sure that all the attacks hit Grumet, but he couldn't even spark sparks.
Grumet, who was under attack, remained as solid as a mountain, and his stone body with a slight metallic sheen seemed to be mocking silently.
Not only the Wings, but also the Loader and Propulsion's attacks were all ineffective.
"In the future, use the Propulsion to scan that monster. I need complete data." Yu Xia, who had not yet arrived at the battlefield, said to Hibino on the communication channel.
"Yes, I understand." Hibino Mirai, who had treated the Impulse as a special plane, responded, and then started the Impulse's scanner to obtain Grumet's specific data.
Soon, Grumet's data was transmitted to You Xia.
Looking at the various data that appeared on the information enhancement helmet, You Xia noticed something was wrong, so he immediately said to four of the three fighters:
"This monster absorbed a large amount of high-strength metal underground and used these metals to form a solid body. Conventional firepower cannot break through its defense."
Looking at Grumet, which was made entirely of black rocks, Jinna the Wind inside the loader noticed something was wrong, so she said in the communication channel:
"That's not right, doctor. Our middle school geography book clearly states that the Far East lacks high-quality metal minerals, and modern rare metals are completely dependent on imports."
"The doctor is not mistaken. There are indeed many high-strength metals in the monster's body. This is the reason why the attack is ineffective." Teppei Kuze, who was also analyzing data at the base, testified for You Xia on the communication channel.
As soon as this statement came out, a bold idea appeared in everyone's mind.
"It seems that someone is raising this monster." Turtledove George said, "Otherwise, with the metal storage that the Far East cannot even satisfy its self-sufficiency, it would never be able to reach this level."
At this time, You Xia, who was silent in the communication channel, suddenly said, "Please buy time for me. Unit Zero has three minutes to arrive at the combat location."
Even with the blessing of a jetpack, the flying speed of Unit Zero is still not as good as that of the three fighters, which can only delay GUYS for a little longer.
"Understood, captain, help us unlock the limitations of meteor technology." Aihara Ryu in the Wing said.
"You must ensure your own safety, and the meteor technology will be lifted!"
Shingo Shimizu in the base first gave a reminder, and then lifted the restrictions on the meteor technology for the three fighters.
This mission was mainly to help the No. 0 aircraft delay, so the three fighters did not all turn on the maneuver mode at once, but turned on one by one.
After the Flying Wing's maneuver mode reaches the time limit, the Loader is immediately picked up. Similarly, after the Loader's maneuver mode ends, the Propulsion is also picked up.
This process didn't end until You Xia arrived in Unit Zero.
As Unit Zero landed firmly on the ground, all the team members breathed a sigh of relief. Ryu Aihara even said:
"The rest is up to you, Doctor, you must beat that guy to a pulp!"
"That's what I thought too!"
In the cockpit, Yuxia responded to Aihara Ryu and then assumed a fighting stance towards Grumet.
Since Unit Zero is equipped with high-performance sensors, You Xia can collect more effective data when he fights Grumet at close range.
"Tungsten, chromium, carbon, platinum, titanium... it's a really complex structure, and there are also alien minerals that I've never seen before. This guy's structure is really amazing."
The Grumet holographic model composed of data appeared in front of You Xia.
According to the data, Grumet's entire body is composed of five earth metals and three minerals that do not exist within the scope of human knowledge.
At this moment, Grumet appeared to be of very high research value in You Xia's eyes.
This kind of monster is really amazing. It can actually smelt multiple metals into an alloy, which is even more amazing than the Insectas that appeared a few days ago.
No matter which cosmic invader is behind Grumet, You Xia has to take a sample of this guy's central nervous system.
"Roar!!!"
Grumet, with scarlet eyes, felt something was wrong in the atmosphere, roared at Unit Zero, then opened his huge mouth and fired energy light balls.
Seeing this, You Xia quickly separated the flight pack from Unit Zero to reduce the area affected by the attack. Ben began to use the body's own maneuverability to avoid the light ball.
You Xia's current reflexes, combined with Unit Zero, are enough to avoid these light balls.
Faced with a light ball that can blow up a building with one shot, Unit Zero can always avoid it at the smallest angle.
After dodging the first wave of light balls, You Xia activated the propeller of the machine body and the high-frequency arm blade of his right arm, preparing to test Grumet's defense strength.
Grumet, who walked on four legs, was inferior to Unit Zero in short-distance agility, and was quickly approached by Unit Zero.
The next moment, the high-frequency arm blade glowing with cold purple light fell on Grumet, causing a collision between spear and shield.
However, the high-frequency arm blade that could cut the poisonous monster Gabra in half failed to break through the opponent's defense. Even if You Xia increased the energy output, it only left a shallow mark on Grumet's body.
"What an amazing defense." You Xia became more curious about Grumet's body structure, and his eyes began to shine uncontrollably.
"This is the beginning!" You Xia, who had entered the state, shouted, and the strength in his body began to increase in Unit Zero.
Grumet, who felt that someone was tickling him, was half a beat too slow to react, then turned around and fired two light balls towards Unit Zero.
The distance was too close, and forced maneuvering to avoid it would cause too much damage to the machine. You Xia had no choice but to control Unit Zero to activate the energy shield on the back of his hand, and use the force of the explosion of the light ball to retreat quickly.
After retreating to a safe area, You Xia took out the pistols hidden on both sides of Unit Zero's thigh armor. One was a beam pistol and the other was a magnetic rail live ammunition pistol.
With both guns in hand, You Xia couldn't help but spin them twice, and then like a dance, he fired while approaching Grumet.
Beam bullets and rail ammunition fell on Grumet in an endless stream, making Grumet feel very irritated. Although these attacks could not break through its defense, they would also increase its energy consumption.
As a living creature, Grumet also needs to eat to replenish energy, otherwise it will lose this solid armor.
However, Unit Zero's combat time was longer than Grumet's activity time, so You Xia was very patient, and he forced Grumet into the trap step by step.
After being a living target for a long time, Grumet finally broke out and launched dozens of energy light balls in an instant.
