"What the heck?"
Farrah’s eyes squinted as the figure ca into view.
At first glance, she thought he couldn’t be a Foreign Survivor like her and Alfie. His gear was different, far beyond the rough, practical Tier‑1 Survivor Gear they had been given when they were transported here.
She rembered her own outfit clearly... a plain shirt under a dark jacket, durable pants with six pockets, sturdy boots, and a belt with simple pouches. It wasn’t stylish, but it was functional, ant for survival.
Alfie’s was the sa. Every Foreign Survivor she had t wore that sa uniform. They were durable and not easily scratched as well. It was as if there were so kind of unseen enchantnts to them.
But this man... his gear was different, far beyond the rough Tier‑1 outfits she and Alfie had worn since arriving here.
His jacket looked sturdier, with extra padding across the chest and shoulders. It wouldn’t even be surprising if it were bulletproof.
His boots looked solid, with protective guards around the ankles and shins, while his pants weren’t the plain kind either. They were armor-plated at the knees and thighs, clearly made for combat and movent.
It was survival gear, but clearly upgraded in many ways.
Then, Farrah’s gaze shifted to the machine beside him.
The impressive humanoid Sentinel was unlike any she had ever seen. It was slim, standing just under seven feet tall, and its fra wasn’t making loud noises when moving, unlike the other Sentinels that felt like they were rattling whenever they walked.
’This ch soldier... Is it really human-made?’ Farrah couldn’t believe that such a machine could beco allied to a human.
In any case, she also noticed that it carried a bulky rifle, but it did not fire gunpowder rounds!
Bang!
Farrah and Alfie saw it... When the chanical raised the weapon and pulled the trigger, a block of tal shot forward with terrifying force, tearing through the air with a sound like thunder...
The slug smashed into the Field Tyrant’s shoulder, denting the armor and forcing the massive machine to stagger back a step!
Farrah flinched at the impact. She had seen rifles before, but nothing like this.
The sheer force of the shot made the Tyrant shift its balance with its flathrowers sputtering for a mont.
It actually slowed it down...!
Both Farrah and Alfie were shocked upon seeing this.
It was simply incredible.
Then, they saw the man behind the chanical soldier also make his move...

"It’s a good thing it’s already damaged. This should be doable." Kai muttered as he decided to steal this Field Tyrant and get a bunch of Experience Points from it!
Thud!
Atom’s first slug had dented its shoulder, but that wasn’t enough.
His Level 3 Keen Sense made him aware of the condition of the machine. From the hiss of pressure valves, the faint glow of overheated joints, and even the way its weight shifted wasn’t missed...
Weaknesses stood out in him!
"Atom, knee joint," Kai ordered...
The Sentinel raised its rifle, and just like before, the weapon’s discharge ripped through the air!
Bang!
The slug smashed into the Tyrant’s knee, tearing through armor.
The impact forced the machine off-center! It was now struggling to keep its balance.
Kai then sprinted, closing the distance. He vaulted onto a shattered barricade and soon, his Spirit energy gathered around him...
[ Spirit Pulse (Level 2): Releases a controlled burst of Spirit Energy that can hit a target within a short radius. Consus Spirit upon activation.
Activation Cost: 70 SP ]
Indeed, he had already leveled it up twice using 2 Skill Points and lowered its cost to 70 SP instead of 100 SP!
Soon, a controlled burst of Spirit Energy erupted, striking the Tyrant square in the chest.
Kai’s eyes lit up as he knew that the impact fried its wiring! After all, it was about to use its flathrower, but it just spat so sparks before going silent!
The blast had definitely scorched its internals.
Then, Kai landed, rolled, and snapped his revolver up.
Two shots rang out, both hitting the sensor cluster on its head!
It was a lucky shot!
Still, the damage triggered a harsh chanical screech, followed by the sweep of its arm!
The blow caught Kai across the ribs, hurling him into a pile of rubble.
Even without looking, Kai knew that his health bar plumted! Blood was filling his mouth, and pain was radiating through his chest.
He forced himself upright, refusing to stay down.
Atom then made its move...
The Sentinel’s rifle fired again, and another tal bullet tore into the Tyrant’s shoulder to divert its attention. The impact forced the Tyrant to tilt, and now, its focus was split between Kai and Atom’s support fire.
Atom did its best to get the Tyrant’s attention...
Then, it was at this point that Kai’s Passive Skill was triggered. It was a good thing he had also leveled it up!
[ Battle Trance (Level 3): When Health drops to 35% or below, the user automatically enters a combat trance. In this state, attack power and defense are greatly increased, pain response is suppressed, and survival instincts are heightened. It lasts 10 minutes or until the user’s health reached 50%. ]
Pain had dulled, and his vision changed... Sohow, every movent of the Tyrant slowed, its attacks beca predictable, and its weak points also beca glaringly obvious.
"Whoa~ This feels good." Kai thought as he stood to his feet.
Then, he dashed in, using his Spirit Pulse again!
This ti at the already damaged knee!
Bang!
The joint blew apart and finally the Field Tyrant collapsed!
"Atom, the core!"
The Sentinel fired. The tal bullet hamred into the Tyrant’s chest, splitting the armor wide and exposing the glowing core!
Kai then climbed onto its damaged arm and checked the core... It was different from the furnace he was expecting...
Nonetheless, it was still the sa Tyrant like before...
Then, just like that, he fired point-blank.
Bang!
