One might think us was fighting a mere machine, which is partly true—but this Mecha Zombie is as real as it gets in Oracle. Normally, a machine like this wouldn''t tire or make mistakes.


    But that would defeat the purpose of what the Nerds were trying to achieve. They aren''t just building a virtual world where warriors can train against monsters and zombies—they''re creating a system that simtes real-lifebat scenarios.


    Yes, they''re designing a system that can mimic any form ofbat, whether it''s a battle of attrition, a fight of precision, or any other style. If your strategy is to wear down your opponent before going for the kill, Oracle is designed to amodate that.


    As you get tired, so will the monster you''re fighting. The Mecha Zombie has stamina points, just like you. It also has a pool of spiritual Qi, just like you. This means you won''t be fighting against an endless, tireless machine.


    However, since this is aputer-generated simtion, there will be some enhancements—slight improvements in how the monsters coordinate their attacks or adapt to your strategies.


    Right now, us is battling a Mecha Zombie specifically designed forbat and data gathering. Essentially, it''s a sparring partner that collects data to help refine the system for this ambitious project.


    And with its enhancedbat prowess, us is now experiencing what truebat looks and feels like.


    us grinned, seeing the dent in the Mecha Zombie''s armor. He pressed the attack, swinging his sword in a wide arc, but the Mecha wasn''t done yet. It suddenly unleashed a burst of fire from its hand, forcing us to leap back.


    Before he could recover, the Mecha followed up with a sharp st of ice, freezing the ground in front of it. us slipped slightly but quickly regained his footing. He raised his sword, watching the Mecha carefully.


    The Mecha charged again, its de glowing red with fire energy. It shed down at us, sending a wave of mes with it. us twisted his body and dodged to the side, but the heat still scorched his arm. He winced but didn''t let up.


    us retaliated with his own fire-infused sh, aiming for the Mecha''s neck. Their swords met again, sparks flying. The Mecha countered immediately, releasing an icy wave that covered us''s de in frost, slowing him down.


    us gritted his teeth but a grin on his face. He swung his sword with all his might, shattering the ice around his de. The Mecha came at him again, alternating between fire and ice attacks. It would sh with a fiery sword one moment, then send shards of ice flying toward him the next.


    For a few minutes, the battlefield became a chaotic blend of fire and ice. us dodged, blocked, and countered as best he could.


    The Mecha suddenlyunched a massive fireball from its chest. us barely had time to react, raising his sword andcing it with fire essence to deflect the attack.


    The fireball exploded on impact, sending mes in all directions. us skidded back, smoke rising from his scorched boots.


    "This is exciting," us said with a grin as he shed his sword, fire essence surging through it. He unleashed a series of fiery arcs, each one aimed directly at the Mecha Zombie.


    In response, the Mecha''s sword shifted, transforming into a spear. It began spinning the spear rapidly, creating a shield of energy that deflected the fire arcs with ease. Each arc splintered on contact, sending sparks into the air.


    us narrowed his eyes. "A spear now? Alright, let''s see what you''ve got," he muttered, gripping his sword tighter.


    The dynamic weapon system was something Lucil implemented a few days into the training and testing sessions. It can switch from Sword to Spear and then to Dagger.


    And from the way the Zombie is using it, us knew the moment it changes weapon, it gains the expertise to use it. It''s kind of a knockoff of his Weapons Overlord ss.


    The Mecha didn''t waste time. It lunged forward, spinning the spear like a whirlwind, generating both fire and ice as it charged. us barely sidestepped the initial strike, feeling the heat from the fire and the chill from the ice as they grazed past him.


    The Mecha pivoted quickly, aiming another strike at us''s chest. He blocked the spear with his sword, but the force of the impact sent a shock through his arms. The Mecha spun again,unching an icy spearhead toward him.


    us reacted quickly, slicing through the ice spear with his de, shattering it mid-air. He leaped forward, aiming a powerful sh at the Mecha''s side. But the Mecha spun its spear again, this time releasing a fiery explosion that knocked us back once more.


    He rolled on the ground and sprang to his feet, his sword glowing with energy.


    "You''re getting tougher by the minute," us said, his eyes shimmering with excitement. "But it''s exciting!"


    us knew that if he summoned the Fire Dragon and the Ice Lotus, this battle would be over quickly, defeating the purpose of what they were trying to achieve. He needed to focus on his Moon sh skill, along with his fire and ice elements, and the Void Piercing Needle.


    The Mecha Zombie suddenly changed tactics again. Its spear transformed into a dagger, sleek and deadly. With a swift motion, it lunged at us, aiming for his midsection.


    us reacted quickly, ducking under the dagger''s thrust. He countered with a fire-infused sh, aiming for the Mecha''s arm. The de connected, leaving a mark but not enough to slow it down.


    The Mecha, undeterred, spun around and shed with the dagger, sending out a wave of ice toward us. He sidestepped just in time, feeling the cold rush past him.


    Not giving him a moment to breathe, the Mecha lunged again, this time with a series of quick, precise thrusts. us blocked each one, the sound of shing metal ringing in his ears.


    "What an eye-opening experience," us muttered, defending and countering the attacks as the Mecha switched between weapons. One moment it wielded a dagger, the next a spear, and then a sword. The fluidity was mesmerizing.


    As a Weapons Overlord, experiencing this was kind of a revtion. It made him crave more challenges. However, he could feel his energy waning. He knew the Zombie had to be tiring, too. Fighting an opponent four realms above him was exhausting.


    The Mecha Zombie swung its dagger again, aiming for us''s side. us blocked, but the force of the impact rattled him. Before he could regain his footing, the Mecha switched to its spear and thrust it forward. us rolled to the side, narrowly avoiding the sharp tip.


    Suddenly, the Mecha unleashed the Razor Disc, sending it spinning toward us. He reacted quickly, slicing through the disc with his sword, but the attack distracted him just long enough for the Mecha to close in again.


    With swift movements, the Mechaunched a series of strings, weaving them expertly in the air. The strings were almost invisible, making them hard to dodge. us felt one brush against his arm, freezing him slightly. He quickly shook it off and focused.


    Chapter Experience:


    He could see the 270 bees buzzing behind the Mecha, ready to strike. The Mechamanded them to swarm us, and he felt a wave of panic.


    "Interesting" he muttered, igniting his sword with fire essence. He swung it in a wide arc, creating a barrier of mes that pushed the bees back. The fire sizzled as it met the swarm, neutralizing several of the insects.


    The Mecha took this moment to throw the dagger, aiming directly at us''s heart. He ducked, narrowly avoiding it, but the dagger embedded itself into the ground behind him.


    us seized the opportunity to attack. He lunged forward, channeling his fire essence into a powerful sh. The Mecha quickly shifted to block with its spear, but us''s attack was strong.


    They collided with a loud crash, sending shockwaves through the air. us could see the tiredness in the Mecha''s movements. He pushed forward, using that to his advantage.


    The Mecha staggered back, its three spirit weapons swirling around it—Razor Disc, ice strings, and the buzzing bees, all ready to defend. us smiles knowing he has finally found the One True Opponent, even if he is giving it handicaps.


    "Uhm us, we have collected all the needed data we needed, you can end the battle if you want" Just when us was about to attack again, Joons voice entered his head.


    "Oh, Alright" us smiled and with a flick, the Ice Lotus appeared
