No matter the situation with the Mobile Fortress Destroyer, there was only one thing Ethan and the others had to do...
And that was to destroy this Mobile Fortress Destroyer that had come to die and protect Axel, their home.
"Aaaah! My arm's broken! I need healing, Aqua!" Kazuma, whose arm had been broken due to his own actions, screamed while crying and sniffling. This made the blue-haired idiot turn her head with a condescending look.
"Serves you right, useless NEET! You can't even handle something this minor!"
The reason Kazuma broke his arm was that he used the Steal skill to attack the golem's head, causing the several-ton-heavy head to be stolen and crushing his arm in the process.
Looking at the golem whose head had been stolen by Kazuma, it collapsed without even getting the chance to let out a death cry.
Though this move was reckless, it turned out to be surprisingly effective!
"Steal!"
This time, the skill was used by Ethan. He pulled off the same reckless stunt as Kazuma, but while for the weak Kazuma, this was called recklessness, for Ethan—one of Axel's strongest fighters—this was called showing off his power!
The several-ton golem head appeared in Ethan's hand, but instead of crushing his arm, he used it like a bowling ball, rolling it straight toward the legs of the other golems!
*BAM!*
"Hey! Bro, watch it! I almost turned into paste!" A thug-like adventurer on the front lines nearly got crushed by the golem head Ethan had thrown, making him angrily shout back!
"Instead of whining about something this trivial, pay attention to what's in front of you—they're not here to play around!" Ethan shrugged casually. His bowling skills still needed work!
"This is trivial?! I almost got turned into paste, you know?! Damn it! Screw this! Alright, guys, let's wreck this pile of scrap metal!"
The thug adventurer kept complaining at Ethan, but he also understood the urgency of the situation. Alongside the other adventurers, he began fighting the golems ahead.
"Ethan! What should we do next?" Yunyun, looking anxious while slicing through golems like tofu with Light of Saber, asked for Ethan's guidance.
After all, the enemy golems kept appearing endlessly, and now they'd even started using ballistae to attack from a distance.
If not for Eris and the idiot Aqua continuously casting support magic to aid the adventurers on the battlefield—granting them strength beyond what they'd ever imagined—there might have already been many casualties.
"From the outside, it's hard to destroy this thing. We have to go inside..." Ethan closed his eyes, stroking his beardless chin as if deep in thought, strategizing against the enemy.
"Iris! Use the Holy Sword to blast a hole into the Mobile Fortress Destroyer! Then, Yunyun and Wiz, use teleportation magic to send some of the strongest adventurers inside to wreck it from within!"
"Understood!"
Hearing Ethan's command, Iris didn't hesitate, gathering magical energy into the Holy Sword and preparing to unleash its divine power!
*CLANG!*
A holy light shimmered along the blade of the Holy Sword as she gripped it tightly.
A moment later, Iris raised the Holy Sword high.
"Exterion!"
With a shout—the name of a move that sounded mysterious, at least to Ethan, who had studied English for ten years without understanding what it meant—the Holy Sword in Iris's hands swung down.
*SWOOSH!*
A brilliant golden slash of light descended from the sky, splitting the air as it shot straight toward the Mobile Fortress Destroyer.
Every golem in its path, big or small, was cleanly bisected without any chance of resistance.
*CRUSH-BANG!*
The much-feared Mobile Fortress Destroyer was split open, leaving a massive hole!
"Teleport!"
"Teleport!"
The moment the gaping hole appeared, Wiz and Yunyun, already prepared, immediately cast teleportation magic!
In an instant, the adventurers enveloped in the teleportation light were transported into the giant hole in the Mobile Fortress Destroyer at speeds exceeding light itself!
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
*SWOOSH!* *SWOOSH!* *SWOOSH!*
Yunyun and Wiz used Light of Saber to slice through the golems in front of them.
Ethan wielded his sword techniques to cut down the golems ahead.
"Just the three of us? Tch, those cowards..." Seeing only three people successfully transported, Ethan clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction.
"It's not their fault. The golem and ballista attacks outside are too fierce—there's no backup force to spare. Besides, most adventurers in Axel are beginners with relatively low levels..."
Wiz seemed to be defending the other adventurers.
"So, it's just us three, Axel's strongest, going inside?" Ethan also knew how dire the situation outside was, but the bigger reason was their laziness and fear, relying on the strong.
As he had said before, what made these rookie adventurers weak wasn't their power, but their weak and cowardly hearts!
Because of his feat of defeating a Devil King General, these rookie adventurers didn't even protest and immediately handed field command to Ethan, who had no prior leadership experience.
And the main reason they were fighting the Mobile Fortress Destroyer at all was thanks to Ethan and the others pushing them.
"I hope they reflect on themselves, but rather than worrying about them, we should focus on the enemies ahead..."
Seeing the endless waves of golems, Ethan, Wiz, and Yunyun gathered their magical energy.
Slash!
Light of Saber!
Light of Saber!
The golems, big and small, didn't even get a chance to fight back before being sliced apart like tofu!
"Seems like there are a lot of reinforcements. If we had time, I'd love to level up at a relaxed pace, but there's no time for games now. Let's find the control room and the person running this—taking out the leader is key!"
"Got it!" The moment Ethan gave the order, Wiz and Yunyun immediately agreed out of trust.
And Ethan's gaze sharpened as he looked deeper inside!
