Chapter 139 Power of the New Combat Suit
“Okay, Graves, I’m going to tell you something. So when you hit me, there is this notification that flashes every time I get hit. It’s called Shield Integrity. And I think the M9 Beretta pistol is not doing any damage. Let’s increase the firepower.”
Before Graves could process what Richard had said, Richard had materialized an M4 Carbine in his hands and tossed it at Graves.
Graves caught the M4 Carbine, “You want me to use this on you, sir?”
Richard nodded. “Yes, I want to test the suit against something with more firepower. Fire at me in full auto, but aim for the chest area, where the suit’s armor is strongest.”
Graves, though hesitant, could see the determination in Richard’s eyes. He understood the importance of knowing the suit’s limits. “Alright, sir. I’ll do it. Just be ready.”
Richard braced himself, standing firmly as he faced Graves. “Go ahead. I’m ready.”
Graves took a deep breath and, aiming carefully at Richard’s chest, he opened fire in full auto. The sound of the M4 Carbine rattled through the rooftop as bullets hit the suit. Richard could feel the impacts, but there was no pain, just a slight pressure with each hit.
The suit’s heads-up display rapidly updated:
[Shield Integrity: 99.85 percent]
[Shield Integrity: 99.83 percent]
[Shield Integrity: 99.80 percent]
Graves stopped firing, the magazine empty. “Sir, are you okay?” 𝑖𝘦.𝘤𝑜𝘮
[Shield Integrity: 99.40 percent.]
Richard checked himself, feeling surprisingly unscathed. “I’m fine, Graves. The suit absorbed it all. The shield integrity decreased a little. And by little, I mean it’s only decimals that are decreasing.”
“That is impressive sir,” Graves commented, clearly impressed. “Should we keep going?”
“Yes, let’s increase the firepower,” Richard decided and he materialized a Barrett M82 in his hands, a heavy sniper rifle known for its immense firepower. Handing it to Graves, he said, “Let’s see how the suit holds up against this.”
Graves, now more confident in the suit’s capabilities but still cautious, took the Barrett M82. “This is serious firepower, sir. Are you sure?”
“Yes, I need to know the full extent of this suit’s capabilities,” Richard responded, positioning himself further away this time. “Aim for the same area. We need to test the shield under extreme conditions.”
Graves took careful aim, aware of the rifle’s power. The Barrett M82 roared as he pulled the trigger, sending a high-caliber round speeding towards Richard.
The impact was more forceful, that he felt himself being pushed back. But the suit absorbed all of the kinetic energy, protecting him from any real harm. The heads-up display quickly updated:
[Shield Integrity: 97.60 percent]
Despite the significant impact, the suit’s integrity was still high. Richard was amazed by the resilience of the Titan’s Guard. “Even against a high-caliber sniper rifle, it holds up. This is remarkable.”
Graves lowered the rifle, his respect for the suit’s capabilities growing. “I would really like to have one of those suits, sir.”
“Well, after this wave, I might be able to get you one. After all, it’s going to be a lot of money,” Richard said. “Now, I want to try one last thing on defense. Graves, is it okay if you fire a rocket-propelled grenade on me?”
“Sir…that’s going too far,” Graves expressed his concern. “What if the suit got damaged after this test and you won’t be able to use it in actual combat?”
Upon hearing that, a notification on the heads-up display popped up.
[As for the repairs of the Titan’s Guard, nanobots have been integrated into the suit. These nanobots will automatically repair any damage sustained. Estimated repair time: 1 minute.]
Richard read the notification and then looked at Graves. “It seems the suit is equipped with nanobots for self-repair. Even if we push it to its limits now, it will be ready for the wave. Let’s proceed with the RPG test. It’s important to know if it can handle explosive force.”
Richard materialized a rocket-propelled grenade launcher and tossed it at Graves. Catching the launcher, Graves looked uncertain but trusted Richard’s judgment. “Alright, sir, I’m setting up for the test. Please stand back at a safe distance.”
Richard positioned himself further away, bracing for the explosive impact. Graves aimed the rocket-propelled grenade launcher and fired. The explosion was powerful, creating a shockwave and a burst of flames upon impact.
The suit was engulfed in the explosion, but as the smoke cleared, Richard was still standing. The suit had absorbed the brunt of the blast. The heads-up display is updated:
[Shield Integrity: 89.50 percent]
[Nanobots Activated: Commencing Repair]
Richard checked the suit, feeling the” vibrations as the nanobots worked on repairs. “The suit withstood an RPG. Graves, this suit withstood the power of RPG!”
“Yeah…I can see that sir, but let’s do another test. How about we try the offensive capabilities of the suit? Is there some sort of weapons system the suit has?” Graves suggested, looking at the suit curiously.
Richard nodded. “Good idea. Let’s see what offensive systems are integrated.” He accessed the suit’s interface and a list of available weaponry and systems appeared on the heads-up display.
“There’s a built-in pulse weapon, seems like it uses concentrated energy blasts. And there’s also a melee enhancement feature that amplifies the force of hand-to-hand combat,” Richard explained as he scrolled through the options.
“Let’s test the pulse weapon first,” Graves proposed, setting up some makeshift targets.
Richard aimed the suit’s arm at the targets and activated the pulse weapon. A burst of energy shot out, hitting the targets, and causing them to disintegrate upon impact.
“Wow, that’s powerful,” Graves remarked, impressed by the destructive force of the pulse weapon. Next, they tested the melee enhancement. Richard performed a few combat moves, and each strike was accompanied by a visible energy surge, significantly increasing the power of his blows.
Now it made sense why there is a Melee proficiency in his skills. It was not as useless as he deemed it to be.
“How about its power sir? Can you try lifting the helicopter here?” Graves suggested, extending his arms at the parked VH-60N helicopter at the helipad.
“I can try,” Richard said.
Approaching the VH-60N helicopter, Richard positioned himself strategically. He reached out with both hands, gripping the helicopter’s undercarriage. Slowly, he applied upward force, feeling the suit respond to his efforts.
As he exerted more power, the helicopter began to tilt. The suit’s servos whirred audibly, enhancing Richard’s strength. He could feel the significant strain but continued to push his limits.
Suddenly, a warning blared on the heads-up display:
[Warning: Exceeding Recommended Power Output. Maximum lift capacity: 8000 kg]
Richard paused, realizing he was pushing the suit beyond its designed capacity. He carefully lowered the helicopter back to its original position, ensuring it was stable.
“That was impressive, sir,” Graves said, watching in awe. “You almost lifted it off the ground. How about the jump sir? Can you do a jump?”
Richard considered Graves’ suggestion. “Let’s test the suit’s jumping capabilities.”
He positioned himself in an open area on the rooftop, ensuring there was enough space for a safe landing. Richard then focused on the suit’s systems, preparing for a powerful jump.
With a deep breath, he activated the suit’s enhanced leg servos and leaped. The suit propelled him upwards with considerable force, launching him several meters into the air. The view from above was brief but exhilarating.
As he reached the peak of his jump, Richard prepared for the descent. The suit’s systems adjusted, ensuring a controlled and steady landing. He touched down smoothly, the suit absorbing the impact efficiently.
The heads-up display showed no warnings or damage notifications.
“That was quite a leap, sir,” Graves remarked.
“I can’t wait to try this in combat…Now I think I can fight against those magic users like those two unknowns,” Richard said.
