Mystical Journey

Panda Novel

Nono was still immersed in capturing his opponent in the shooting game and did not feel any different.

The Moonfang that he’d acquired was actually made from parts of the control assistance of a high-end mech. The resources inside were not much even in the beginning, and after idling and then being used for so long, the resources inside had nearly been used up. On top of that, it did not have a cooling feature, and as the high temperature from its usage was unable to be cooled down, the Moonfang started to crack.

Kachak!

Suddenly, there was a crisp sound, but it was immediately drowned out by the mech’s machinery noises inside the cockpit. Nono did not realize this at all, that the crescent moon had slowly dimmed, losing its previous white glow.

The mech rolled to the right, avoiding the fourth shot from the opponent.

As Nono rested for a while, he saw that the opponent’s mech was adjusting its pistol. He recognized this as the technique of a two-timed reload, but he did not panic. Even though his control speed was unable to react to the incoming attack in time, considering that his real skills were only that of a beginner’s, this kind of moment was always aided by the Moonfang’s automated control to avoid attacks like these.

His finger was already clicking on the fire pistol button, and now all he had to do was to wait to avoid the opponent’s attack and then, attack.

Suddenly he felt that something was wrong, why was the mech not moving?!

“What is going on!!??” he saw that the opponent’s pistol was pointing towards him, but the mech remained quiet and he was now panicking slightly. He glanced at his Moonfang briefly, only to realize that it had cracked open and that there was no longer any light inside.

“No!!! My Moonfang!!”

He cried out loud, his eyes reflecting unspoken horror. If the magnetic pistol hit the cockpit, he would be disabled, if not dead!

He tried to grab hold of the Moonfang, but the sudden wave of fear in his body had paralyzed him! His whole body was frozen and he could not even move a finger.

At that moment, the pistol was getting lower and lower, and the finger on the faraway mech had already pulled the trigger.

“I don’t want to die!!! No! No!!” Nono finally broke down, he cried, his face dripping with tears.

“If you don’t want to die, then give me the body…” a voice from his heart rang.

No one could see it, but Nono’s face was suddenly covered in multiple blood vessels. A huge, terrifying web of blood vessels covered his face in an instant.

A dot of black passed by his deep blue eyes.

Crash!!!

Nono only felt his head being flung, his consciousness that was full of fear was now filled with satisfaction. He avoided the situation that he was the most fearful of, plunging straight into the unnaturally tranquil dark…

It was only for a moment that he lost complete consciousness. He was contented, he was away from danger, but he didn’t know that once he sank, he would never have a chance to wake up again.

The changes in the soul were abnormally complicated, but in the outside world, only a moment had passed.

Nonon opened both his eyes wildly. His irises were now an unnerving black.

At that moment all the fear in his face vanished, and it was replaced by a peaceful and calm expression.

Bang!

The magnetic cannon was fired.

Red sparks were seen as the pistol’s grey bullet headed straight for the mech’s cockpit.

“Something’s not right!!!” Garen had just accepted this body, and it felt wrong!

The strength of his soul was restrained in the body and he was unable to use his strength. And this was not even the most troublesome part; the most dangerous thing was that the inner body structure and genetic arrangement of the humans here were different from the last two bodies that he had reincarnated into! Completely different!

A piercing pain jolted the body that he’d just occupied. That was because the spirit was too powerful for the vessel that it’d occupied.

This kind of grinding caused him to be unable to connect with the nerves completely in the body, and so even moving was extremely difficult. His whole body was in piercing pain as if a drill was digging into his bones.

Garen tried his best to slow down the magnetic bullet, but it was too lates as he could only connect to his five senses in such a short span.

The magnetic bullet was about to hit the cockpit, and if it was hit, this body that he had not mastered yet would be seriously wounded. A great amount of strength from the soul seed was needed to occupy a body and it could not be undone after it was occupied, otherwise, the strength of soul used earlier would be wasted. In his current situation, he could not bear to suffer this loss, for the soul seed would face a danger of collapsing.

The most important thing was once he had occupied the body, it was equivalent to having a legal identity in this world. Should this legal identity perish, he would be decomposed forcefully by the laws of this world and there was even a possibility of him being sent back to the river.

“What should I do!!?” Garen was thinking swiftly. He had not anticipated the incompatibilities between the body and his soul. His initial plan had been to take over the body during a crucial moment when the original body was weak, but this situation was unexpected.

There was now a sense of an impending threat. According to this weak body, there was no way to block such a powerful weapon.

At the field

Of the two mechs, as the one of the left lifted its arm to fire, the one on the right unexpected froze. Its fluid motions had suddenly stopped.

Bang!

The gun went off.

The students standing next to the teacher all shouted in shock at the scene. Each of their faces was nervous, and their eyes were all wide open.

“What’s going on? Why did Nono stop!”

“Is there something wrong with the mech?”

“He’s done for, he’ll be heavily injured if not dead!”

No one would have expected this outcome, and even the teacher had his mouth wide open. Even though Blackboard Academy always used the rule of survival of the fittest to run the school, if it really happened it would be a murder case, and even if the mech was faulty, there would still be punishment, even for him.

Moreover, Nono was one of his class’ best students, one of the top three, and if anything happened, it would be a big hit to his class.

But it was too late now, no one knew what to do. Even if they called for a halt it would be too late.

Mina was covering her mouth with her eyes full of shock and horror; she could do nothing to help.

Just at this moment.

On the field, on Nono’s mech curled-up arm, its arm’s magnetic pistol suddenly readjusted its aim and pulled the trigger.

Bang!

The two bullets missed each other, but the huge recoil shook Nono’s mech violently.

One in front and one at the back, both mechs seemed to be hit at the same time.

The examinee that had fired the first shot did not manage to avoid it because he was stunned, and he knew that Nonosiva’s mech was a sure hit.

After the two shots were blundered, both mechs had a small hole that the grey bullet was stuck in, from which leaked green smoke. The bullet was still moving but it had slowed down drastically as if it had already pierced halfway through the mech.

As Nono’s mech had been pushed back by the recoil, causing the cockpit to move, it was the shoulder that had been shot. Even though the mech was destroyed, its pilot was okay.

Only then did the audience let out sighs of relief. Wiping the sweat from his forehead, the teacher was relieved. Nonosiva really was his class’ best student and he was burdened with high hopes, so if anything happened here…

“Not good! The mech on the other side got hit in the energy module!!” a student shouted out.

The bearded man was snapped out of his relief.

Judging the other mech’s condition, his face started to become twisted again.

“Come save him quick!!” he yelled.

There was a bang from the other mech at this moment and the entire mech had exploded. Half of the body was covered in flames, and the fate of the driver inside was unknown.

——–

Garen sat in the cockpit, his whole body drenched in sweat. Underneath his skin, the nerves of his muscles kept twitching, sending wave after wave of pain to his brain.

“This is entirely different… This body… No! Everyone’s body here is entirely different! The structure of it is entirely different!!” he shuddered.

If it wasn’t for him pushing Nono’s spirit out completely at the final moment, lending his spirit as a last resort source of energy and using his consciousness to control the mech slightly, it would have been the end just now. If he did not have his body, the hard work from the previous world would definitely be all for naught,

But the current situation wasn’t really great.

The body was still violently rejecting him at times.

This was the best body he could find after entering this planet and searching everywhere for the most suitable vessel. However, he couldn’t have known that the body’s genetics were completely different from the previous bodies’.

Even though he was currently using his spirit to force the body to readjust, it was impossible to be active in the body in a short amount of time. The body was stiff, and he could not make even a single movement. It was as though he was a living corpse, and all he could do was to blink.

It was because he’d suddenly forced the body to move, which had caused Nono’s body to be even more injured. A lot of his nerves were damaged, and it was not the best of situations.

To put it frankly, there was no difference between him and a vegetable.

Even if he fully grasped the body, it was still a long genetic rearranging and adapting process. Garen felt that this world’s structure seemed to be firmer than the Blood Breed’s world; it was as if it would have a huge rejection and suppression of any non-homologous substance.

He’d already felt it when he was searching everywhere for a body while in the state of the spirit soul seed.

From Nono’s shattered spirit’s stored memories, he saw the control method of the mech; it was the special power that was produced from humans’ specially trained bodies. In other words, it was a special energy field.

It was completely different from his spirit’s strength and mental strength; it was a brand new force above the mental concentration power.

“This could be trouble…”

Feeling the differences in his body, his heart sank.

He could no longer guarantee that the body was able to completely recover, and if it couldn’t recover…
