"Surprise attack!?"
Luluwo only had ti to shout before feeling an extraordinary sense of weightlessness.
The massive greatsword was like a cannonball, directly striking the city wall where they stood. The previously sturdy wall disintegrated instantly upon impact, collapsing and causing the three standing there to fall amidst the rubble without any chance to react.
Why would a monster launch an attack from this distance? This doesn't conform to the usual logic of the Sain Dungeon!
"I'm angry now!"
Luluwo shot out several chains towards the uneven broken sections of the wall, successfully securing herself by wrapping them around the jagged edges, leaving her suspended mid-air feeling quite pleased with herself. She thought her quick reaction could be written into the adventurer's ergency response manual.
However, the chains she threw out to catch Tami and Berto seed to grab nothing. Worried, she turned to look, only to find that Tami and Berto had already adjusted their postures mid-air, successfully landing by bouncing off the debris a few tis, ultimately touching down in a perfect superhero landing pose.
They even deliberately avoided Luluwo's chains, feeling they were in the way.
"...."
Luluwo paused in silence, Berto was alright, but since when did Tami get so skilled?
It seed their landing looked way cooler, unlike her showy suspension in mid-air.
Feeling a bit disheartened, she slowly extended the chains, lowering herself safely to the ground.
As soon as she landed, her first words were directed at the Steel Giant Puppet:
"Take it down!"
"Alright!" "No problem."
Tami and Berto responded in unison, charging in from left and right along the not-so-wide path towards the Steel Giant Puppet, showing no fear or even tension as they faced the boss monster.
After all, unlike those local adventurers of Scaroon who just started exploring the Sain Dungeon, they were veteran adventurers who had seen highly oppressive monsters before.
A Steel Giant Puppet, about the size of a giant slave, could hardly be more intimidating than the Fran Undead Team!
But speaking of which, actually....
"This guy's aura is quite extraordinary."
At the rear, Luluwo rubbed her eyes, staring as her eyes suddenly lit up, using observational magic to inspect the Steel Giant Puppet.
She sensed an overwhelming aura from this new boss monster, and if she had to describe it, its raw strength likely exceeded that of ordinary Fran Undead Team mbers!
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but curl her lips, showing a slightly annoyed expression.
It turned out that the various open areas of Scaroon were sowhat peculiar. The strength of the monsters rose across the board, even the ordinary animated corpses beca a bit more resilient, and the all-around enhanced Black Knights, now even this seemingly unremarkable Steel Giant Puppet, matched up to mbers of the Fran Undead Team.
Even with the current strength unlike the previous tis, this change still made Luluwo feel it was troubleso.
"But fortunately, this guy isn't humanoid."
Adventurers concluded a rule applicable to the Sain Dungeon: humanoid monsters are often more troubleso than ordinary monsters!
Of course, if you encounter beast-type monsters, that's another story, as both types are hard to deal with anyway.
"Having an aura comparable to the Undead Team doesn't an it's stronger in an actual fight."
Luluwo raised her hands, magical light lit up her arms, indicating she was casting a spell that required chanting.
anwhile, on the other side, stimulated by the thousand-man strong Tami and Berto, the Steel Giant Puppet finally made a move.
It sohow pulled out a giant iron axe, imdiately giving off a ferocious aura, then almost made a leap as it made a big motion pressing towards Berto, one hand grabbing at him while the other raised the giant axe high!
The oppressive feeling of this movent, made by its giant-like body, was imnse, like a massive mountain rushing towards Berto from his perspective.
Could he dodge with his speed? It seed tight, but he had to act even if he couldn't dodge.
The speed displayed by the Steel Giant Puppet wasn't exceedingly fast, and the points lacking in speed seed to have been compensated in strength. Berto felt if he couldn't dodge, he might end up fused with the ground below.
He imdiately braced his foot to dodge sideways, only to find a cliff there. One step into the void, and he'd have to trek the path of 365 miles again.
The footstep of the Steel Giant Puppet landed, cracking the ground, the crevice extending right beneath Berto's feet, loosening the stone he was stepping on.
Not good, there's an error in the movent!
"You've been accelerated, go quickly!"
At this mont, dangerous from any angle, Luluwo's dependable voice ca from behind, a faint blue light appeared on Berto's body, and he imdiately felt as light and nimble as if enhanced by the Wind Elent.
"You're so reliable, captain!"
"Boom!"
The giant axe smashed into the ground, creating deep fissures spreading in all directions, while Berto was no longer at the original spot. With incredible agility, he grasped the Steel Giant Puppet's arm, completed a spin instead of falling off the cliff, and when his opponent swung its arm trying to shake him off, he nimbly darted behind the Steel Giant Puppet, striking with his weapon all over the reachable areas!
