章 2145: Tricked

A loss!

The design duel between Ves and Jovy ended up in the latter's favor.

The arena had become awash with flames. Burning propellant consisting of different components had been spread around the floor. A mixture of blue and red flames emanated from them as they constantly heated up the surroundings.

It seemed as if most of the arena had turned into a very special sort of hell.

In the center of this slice of hell stood two distinct striker mechs.

The Fortunate Devil seemed at home in this fiery environment. Despite sustaining serious damage to its legs, the resilient armor plating that Jovy Armalon had clad them with had done their job. The sheer amount of heat they withstood or transferred elsewhere had allowed them to resist several times more heat damage than they could have in isolation.
