This is a good thing for everyone, as it means that it can only cause damage through the most savage and reckless rampage.
Darkness stood at the front with a somber expression, looking at the enormous aberrant creature.
A fortress of this size is not something you can simply carry down.
With such a massive size, even someone as superhuman as Darkness probably couldn't withstand it for long.
Yu-Yu stood ready and prepared to support Hui-Hui at any time, coordinating with Hui-Hui's Explosion Magic to unleash a high-level spell and create a combo attack.
Aqua glanced at the massive fortress hurtling towards them and, quite heartlessly, asked, "Are we really capable of dealing with this kind of thing?"
Kazuma then spoke up, "We have to fight even if we can't win. It's already come to this point, what nonsense are you talking about?"
However, the next moment, when Megumin finished reciting the last sentence, the Steel Fortress had already stepped into the area where Megumin was casting her magic.
Layer upon layer of magic circles, like dark clouds looming overhead, gathered magical power at the top before instantly falling down.
An apocalyptic scene unfolded as a small meteorite materialized out of thin air and then crashed down upon the mechanical fortress.
The flames and heat waves mingled together, and the surrounding air became noticeably scorching.
At that very moment, the barrier of the mechanical fortress began to light up, and an invisible magnetic field enveloped the mechanical fortress. The barrier rippled again, but this time it was no longer a faint ripple. Megumin's Explosion Magic was quite terrifying. The ripples expanded and expanded, and even those with eyes could see that Megumin's Explosion Magic had already had a significant impact on the mechanical fortress.
However, that's not enough!
Something is still missing.
The burst magic can only last for a short while. If the barrier of the fortress is not broken after the effect of the burst magic cast by Huihui disappears, then this burst magic is equivalent to being released in vain.
Luo Ya watched coldly, showing no intention of helping.
This isn't the team's full strength; only Megumin and Alice have made their move so far, and Alice's attack was merely a probing one, so it's not a big deal.
However, at that very moment, Aqua stood in front and quickly chanted, "Sacred Spell Break!"
A complex magic circle appeared around Aqua, and a white ball of light appeared in her hand.
The milky-white orb flew toward the Destroyer Fortress. Upon contact with the Destroyer, the thin film on the surface of its massive body was noticeably disturbed, but the degree of disturbance was not significant.
Chapter 334 The Secret of the Fortress
The next moment, Alice gripped the longsword with both hands, and the dazzling golden light gathered once more. Magic began to radiate outwards from Alice, and the girl took a step forward. The longsword in her hands once again emitted a golden light, and the brilliant holy sword, like the sunlight of the rising sun, dyed the surrounding world a crimson gold.
Without naming any moves, Alice simply gripped the holy sword tightly and swung it forward.
The difference is that if she used five parts of her strength before, Alice is now using nine parts.
The sword energy, which stretched for over ten feet, instantly separated everything around it, and it seemed that only the sword energy unleashed by Alice remained in the world.
Magic energy gathered freely within the sword, and the very nature of the holy sword meant that this strike was destined to be extraordinary.
A rainbow pierced the sun, and a dazzling golden light instantly slashed down, striking the massive mecha fortress.
Even compared to this massive fortress, the golden sword energy was comparable.
At that very moment, the ripples of the mechanical fortress were abruptly severed, and the faint ripples did not reappear.
The barrier that belonged to the mechanical fortress has disappeared.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Youyou pointed her silver-white short staff at the mechanical fortress at the forefront.
A short blade of light formed, centered on the giant beast, and instantly severed the mechanical fortress's two forelegs.
The fortress, which had never stopped moving, finally stopped at this moment. With a loud crash, it lost its balance due to the loss of its forelimbs and fell to the ground.
However, after everyone had done all this, their expressions suddenly changed.
The two were actually quite close, and when they fell, they didn't just fall straight to the ground; they slid a short distance ahead of each other.
But this distance was just enough for it to hit everyone.
Darkness, standing at the forefront, roared and charged forward, clad in heavy armor, intending to use her physical strength to withstand the mechanical fortress and stop its advance.
As a Crusader, Darkness possessed exceptionally high attributes, and her strength reached an indescribable level.
However, it was somewhat irrational for Darkness to go up like that.
Roya sighed. Darkness couldn't possibly withstand this situation. Just as Roya was about to help, Alice ran up as well. The girl's small body leaped and easily reached Darkness's side. She stretched out her slender, white hand and placed it on the fortress. Her expression was serious, and she made a gesture of exertion.
An unbelievable scene unfolded: the fortress that had been sweeping past Darkness suddenly came to a halt.
Everyone gasped in shock at the sight.
Darkness alone certainly couldn't have done this, but with Alice added, they were able to stop this massive mechanical fortress.
This left everyone speechless with shock. Alice's ability to unleash such a slash was already astonishing enough, but who could have imagined that such a small body could possess such immense power?
After everyone brought the mechanical fortress to an abrupt stop, the massive mechanical fortress seemed to malfunction, remaining motionless and collapsing straight to the ground, never to rise again.
"It's over?" Kazuma Sato was stunned. Things went more smoothly than he had imagined. Kazuma Sato hadn't done anything; he had just watched from the sidelines, and yet the matter had been resolved so easily.
Luo Ya nodded slightly, seemingly satisfied with the group.
"solved."
It was indeed resolved, and things went very smoothly.
Everyone present contributed their share.
Of course, one particular person who was just watching the spectacle is an exception.
However, Kazuma's original purpose was not for this purpose. Kazuma often acts more like an adhesive. They are indeed very powerful when working together, each with their own strengths that they are proud of. But if there is even a slight mistake in their coordination, things can easily go wrong.
If Roya isn't around, Kazuma is there to deal with any possible unforeseen events.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Kazuma naturally has no use for his skills.
Just as Kazuma Sato breathed a sigh of relief, a slightly mocking voice rang in his ear. Aqua skipped over to Kazuma's side and said in a slightly sarcastic tone, "Ara ara, what's going on, Kazuma-sama? I don't think I saw you do anything."
Kazuma Sato's lips twitched. The boy glanced at Aqua with some annoyance. Needless to say, this girl had come to mock him; she had no good intentions.
However, Kazuma Sato didn't know what to say in response to Aqua's words.
In some respects, what Aqua said is not wrong, and in fact, it is indeed as Aqua said.
But being in reality is one thing, and saying it out loud is another. Kazuma still felt a little embarrassed when it was said to his face.
After all, everyone present had their own role, and even Darkness, who seemed to have the least presence in this operation, played her part.
Kazuma Sato simply watched from the sidelines.
"Oh dear, why can't you speak? Don't you like to talk?"
Aqua continued her sarcastic remarks, while Kazuma Sato coldly replied, "Aqua, you still owe me money. Are you planning to make me ask you for it now?"
Roya, who had been standing by watching the spectacle, was slightly taken aback. She looked at Aqua with disbelief and asked, "Aqua, do you owe someone money again?"
You have to understand, it hasn't even been a month since Aqua borrowed money from Roya last time, so how could she not be shocked to hear that this idiot is asking for money again?
"How much money do you have? Even that spendthrift shop owner can't compare to you!" Luo Ya was speechless and complained.
Reminded by Kazuma, Aqua also remembered her debt. She subconsciously shrank back, but then her eyes lit up when she caught sight of the enormous creature in front of her. She said smugly, "Kazuma, you can't scare me with this. We've defeated this monster, and according to the rules, those who contributed should split the spoils equally. This monster has a whopping 300 million Eris!"
At this point, Aqua glanced at Roya, and then suddenly raised her voice, saying, "Of course, this has nothing to do with the guy who's been watching the show all this time!"
This was practically a direct attack on Roya.
As if that wasn't enough to vent her anger, Aqua continued, "After all, you took all the reward for yourself last time, so there's nothing wrong with me doing this, is there?"
Despite being inexplicably mocked by Aqua, Roya wasn't angry. Instead, he smiled and nodded, revealing a fatherly smile of satisfaction. He then placed his hand on Aqua's head, giving her a gentle head pat.
Aqua was slightly taken aback, her expression still lingering on her previous smugness, not realizing that Roja would do such a thing.
Realizing what was happening, Aqua slapped Roya's hand away and looked at him warily, asking, "What do you want to do?"
The boy in Aqua's memory wasn't a good-tempered person; his behavior must be suspicious.
Roya was completely unfazed by Aqua's wariness. He spoke up, "I didn't expect you two to have grown to this level. You are indeed more outstanding than I imagined."
The "you" that Roa was referring to didn't just include Aqua, but the entire squad.
Seeing Luo Ya, who usually had a cold face and was quick to scold others, smile like this, everyone looked surprised.
After the unexpected event, I felt a little elated.
After all, this was somewhat of a contrast, and Roya's praise was quite rare.
Aqua was also taken aback, seemingly not expecting Roja to praise her so directly. Normally, Aqua's skin was thicker than a city wall, but at this moment, she actually blushed slightly.
The girl straightened her back and said seriously, "Even if you say that, I won't share any of the reward with you, okay? Unless you're willing to call me 'Aqua-sama' a few more times, then I might consider you."
Luo Ya chuckled, shrugged, and casually said, "You guys should figure out how to clean up the battlefield. Going back empty-handed like this won't get you any reward."
However, just as everyone was arguing, alarms sounded from the top of the fortress.
[This aircraft has ceased maneuvering. This aircraft has ceased maneuvering. Unable to dissipate heat or consume maneuvering energy, crew members, please evacuate this aircraft immediately and seek shelter. This aircraft has…]
The notification sound drew everyone's attention. Sato Kazuma subconsciously raised an eyebrow, his expression turning serious. He said earnestly, "That sound... it sounds really ominous. Could it be a self-destruction?"
After a moment's thought, Luo Ya nodded slightly and said, "Very likely."
He almost forgot that in the original story, this thing would self-destruct.
The reason for the self-destruction was just as the machine's voice said.
A large group of people began to clean up the wreckage left by the mechanical monster.
