The Steel Puppet stood eight meters tall and was comprised entirely of Fine Iron. It also wore thick, heavy, pitch-black armor. The Steel Puppet had two heads and four mechanical arms, each wielding a gigantic saber. Despite the Steel Puppetâs inactive state, it radiated a dreadful aura.
âThe boss is finally getting serious!â
âAmazing! So, this is the Guildâs Steel Puppet?â
When they saw the colossal Steel Puppet, Sin Realmâs members recovered their senses. They no longer feared Shi Feng, but cheered with excitement.
A Steel Puppet? Shi Feng was quite surprised to see the massive construct.
Like the Guardian Puppet, the Steel Puppet was a Bronze Puppet with the Strength of an apex Tier 2 being. Its Defense was even greater than the Hell Tankâs. Like the Hell Tank and other war weapons, Bronze Puppets didnât have HP, but durability. The Steel Puppet was capable of several times the Hell Tankâs combat power, the perfect weapon to deal with players and take down buildings.
âYe Feng, you should be pleased! Youâll be this Steel Puppetâs first victim!â Irontooth said, sneering as he sat in the Steel Puppetâs control module.
This was the first time Sin Realm would use the Steel Puppet since obtaining it.
The Guild simply hadnât needed to use it yet.
Operating the Steel Puppet also cost a large number of Magic Crystals. Just to activate it, one needed to store 1,000 Magic Crystals within the Puppet For every minute the Steel Puppet was operated, it would consume 50 crystals. In other words, the Steel Puppet could only operate for 20 minutes at full capacity. To make matters worse, using the Steel Puppetâs Skills would cost additional Magic Crystals.
Sin Realm hadnât bothered to use the Puppet for these reasons, even when dealing with other Guilds.
Irontooth was only allowed to use the Steel Puppet now because Lone Beacon wanted to teach Zero Wing a lesson.
As Irontooth fell silent, he used the Steel Puppet to advance on Shi Feng.
The Steel Puppetâs Movement Speed was extremely high, crossing 50 yards in less than two seconds. Upon arriving before Shi Feng, the Steel Puppet swung one of its sabers at the Swordsman.
Despite the attackâs casual nature, its power was at the peak of Tier 3. The wind even howled as the saber soared towards Shi Feng.
So fast! Shi Feng immediately responded by swinging Killing Ray.
Boom!
With the sound of an explosion, the saberâs trajectory altered, and it crashed into the ground beside the Swordsman, the impact tearing a 20-meter-long gash in the ground. Shi Feng instantly lost over 20,000 HPâŠ
âYou really are something to survive an attack like that! But how will you fare against four sabers?â Irontooth brandished his three remaining weapons after seeing his target only lose a small fraction of his HP.
Since a player controlled the Steel Puppet, all three sabers accurately flew towards Shi Fengâs defensive blind spots.
Boom⊠Boom⊠BoomâŠ
As one slash after another descended, the blades devastated the ground around Shi Feng. The earth trembled violently under the resulting impacts, and some of Sin Realmâs nearby players lost their footing.
The Steel Puppetâs devastatingly destructive power stupefied Sin Realmâs members.
Setting aside the Steel Puppetâs Strength, its Attack Speed alone shocked many of the watching players. The sabers were far too quick, and even the Tier 2 players realized that theyâd be hard-pressed to block a single strike. If they had to combat all three sabers simultaneously, theyâd die on the spot
Once the dust settled, however, they were even more shocked.
Shi Feng still stood beside the Steel Puppetâs swords. He hadnât died in the flurry of attacks, and this time, his HP was fully intactâŠ
As expected of a Bronze Combat Puppet Its combat power is amazing. The Hell Tank is nothing in comparison, Shi Feng thought as he looked at the deformed terrain around him. If he hadnât activated Power of Darkness in time, he wouldâve likely lost more than half of his total HP.
Controlling a Combat Puppet was very similar to controlling a Divine Beast Players essentially merged with the Combat Puppet, and although they couldnât control the Puppet as easily as they did their own bodies, executing simple attacks at maximum efficiency wouldnât be difficult
Moreover, a Bronze Combat Puppetâs every attack contained the Strength and speed of Tier 2 at its peak. It was the equivalent of a Grand Lord ranked Archaic Species. In addition, every attack a Combat Puppet executed would contain its full power, like a player at their peak. Even a Tier 3 expert would be at a disadvantage against a Bronze Combat Puppet with the same combat standard.
âA Berserk Skill? Do you think that can save you?â Irontooth sneered when he saw the black aura around Shi Feng. He then raised his four sabers and attacked again.
Although he couldnât control the Steel Puppet as nimbly as his own body, he was confident of defeating a real Tier 3 expert with the Puppetâs Strength, speed, and four arms.
âWeâll see about that!â Shi Feng brandished his two swords to meet the four sabers.
Swordâs Orbit!
A galaxy of stars formed around Shi Feng, and he either blocked or deflected every attack Irontooth launched with the Steel Puppet
âHow is this possible?! How is he keeping up with the Steel Puppet?!â Sin Realmâs members watched the battle with dropped jaws as the Steel Puppet was rendered ineffective against Shi Feng.
However, none of them knew that Shi Fengâs Attributes could normally rival a Great Lordâs of the same level. After using Power of Darkness, his Strength was as high as an ordinary Grand Lordâs under the Intermediate Magic Arrayâs suppression. He was also as fast as a Tier 3 player of the same level. Hence, the Steel Puppetâs Basic Attributes were only slightly higher than his, and Shi Feng could easily make up for the gap with his techniques.
Heâs actually so strong? Irontoothâs expression darkened when he realized that he couldnât gain any ground against Shi Feng.
He had never thought that this Swordmanâs Attributes were so high that they could rival the Steel Puppetâs.
After trading blows for a short moment, Shi Feng lost interest in passively defending himself. He started to find opportunities to attack the Steel Puppet.
Dang! Dang! Dang!
Dazzling sparks filled the air as Shi Fengâs swords stabbed and slashed at the Puppet, but despite taking multiple attacks, there wasnât a single mark on the Puppetâs armor.
âItâs useless! Even if you have heaven-defying Basic Attributes, they are nothing before the Steel Puppetâs Defense! I want to see just how long your Berserk Skill will keep you alive!â Irontooth growled, sneering.

He was fully confident in the Steel Puppetâs Defense, which had Tier 3 defensive capabilities. Only a Grand Lord ranked Archaic Speciesâ attacks could reduce its durability. Ordinary Grand Lords would only accomplish the feat if they used particularly powerful Skills.
âIs that so?â
Shi Feng chuckled. He then activated Blade Liberation and slashed at the Puppet again.
Hua!
Suddenly, a visible tear appeared on the Steel Puppetâs armorâŠ
