[Intruder found. Attempt to repel intruders.]

Upon entering the Outlying Zone, I saw a huge silhouette.

It was over ten meters tall.

The ceiling of this gigantic factory looked full.

Its size was enough to be called a giant.

It was called a giant, but it was too much to see it as a humanoid.

The giant had ten arms, not enough arms.

Instead of legs, it had tracked wheels.

I could feel it from afar, so hard that my whole body would be crushed just by touching it.

hard-

The movement of such an object, in and of itself, made me feel a great sense of intimidation and fear.

In fact, that giant tried to crush us using magic.

[Adversity object: A-12542 used intimidation on you.]

[Enemy object: A-12542 gave you the magic of oppression.]

Besides, doesn’t he use language as well as technology?

‘It’s probably on a different level than other objects.’

To use language means to make judgments.

[Adaptive Entity: A-12542 is trying to analyze you.]

[You defended the opponent’s analysis through Blessing: Advanced Resistance.]

The real one made several attempts to analyze us.

It was definitely different from other objects.

The robot arms and small robots that I faced when I first entered the dungeon.

It was different from the way they mechanically attacked us as soon as they saw us.

But if there was anything like them, there was only one.

That is, as soon as they see us, they treat us as enemies.

Even though the analysis he threw at me failed, he immediately turned around and started charging.

yikes-

The tracked wheels turned and closed the distance with us in an instant.

Immediately, the gigantic robot threw a chunky fist at us.

Kwaaang! bang! Quaang!

Ten hands moved simultaneously.

Each one aimed at our teammates and all the others.

Since there are 7 people in my team, it means that the remaining 3 hands are for the remaining survivors.

“The shield of the holy light!”

“defense!”

“… … I will hide.”

[You used Soul Magic: Defense.]

[The shield of the holy light used by your allies protects you and your allies.]

We dodged and blocked their attacks in our own ways.

Because I had experience dealing with huge giants many times.

Apart from attacking, it was not difficult to block or avoid these attacks.

The problem was the survivors.

Will they be able to preserve the giant’s body?

If that was possible, it would have been them, not the robots, who won before the return?

How will you react?

My curiosity was quickly dispelled.

[Do not transform!]

[yes!]

[To form D!]

Susssseu-

Some of the survivors, by transforming their bodies, threw themselves out.

After changing half of his body into a mobile form, he instantly increased his distance from the giant.

Others intertwined with each other.

clap- clap-

After weaving the mechanized body, he created a huge shield.

Kwaaang-!

My fists slammed into that shield.

The fist continued to pound the shield like a hammer.

Because the machine never got tired, the attacks continued to pour in at regular intervals and strength.

It was a powerful attack.

[Big… … .]

[Hold on. Hold on. Hold on!]

Those who became shields managed to endure it.

The rest also blocked the giant’s subsequent attacks in their own way.

Shield transformation was rather common.

Those who had left their bodies in the mobile form came back before they knew it and clung to one of the mechanical arms.

Then, transform your body into something like a drill!

As it was, it pierced a hole through the giant’s body.

Some also elongated their bodies and turned their living bodies into weapons.

[Shield.]

[practice!]

Taaang-!

Using a part of my body as a bullet, I was attacking the giant.

* * *

It was certainly enough to say that their performance was great.

While we are doing all the attacks, they are taking on the role of tanks.

However, the attack power was not weak either.

Teoeoong- Tung-

Every time the flesh-made bullet exploded, a new hole was created in the robot’s body.

‘It’s strong.’

Considering their current strength, they are by no means weak.

If you look at the combat power of each survivor, it was stronger than most robots.

‘It’s not as good as the middle bosses who guard the base… … There aren’t many objects like that.’

Because everyone was feeling it.

Even while fighting, I admired it.

“and… … .”

“Are you crazy?”

It must have been enough power to admire.

[You have succeeded in destroying the enemy object guarding the base: A-12542.]

[You Gaho: I learned about robots.]

[The achievements you have accumulated have been recorded in the system.]

Whoop-!

The enemy who boasted of great power has fallen.

What could be seen as a giant was certainly powerful.

Even though it was an object guarding the base, it had abilities that exceeded that of a fairly boss.

By destroying that powerful object, the survivors and we proved stronger.

but.

The weaknesses of the seemingly powerful survivors were later revealed.

“… … What is that?”

Their behavior after the battle was bizarre.

* * *

After the battle, half of the survivors’ bodies were almost shattered.

I wasn’t talking about a place with a biological body like a human being.

Some of them were broken, but for some reason they were quickly recovering.

Pine flesh fills up.

Skin quickly covered the warm flesh.

The problem was the mechanical body part.

‘It doesn’t have a self-healing function.’

It did not recover on its own.

Zuzuz means-

It was broken, and it was just flowing mana.

How would you like to recover from such an injury?

They approached the collapsed base boss.

Sususeut- Chiiik!

Soon after, he began disassembling the boss’ corpse.

It was a skillful move.

There was nothing gross about dismantling something like a machine, so everyone on the team watched it in silence.

The disassembled parts were divided separately.

The amount was different.

-It seems to be divided in proportion according to merit. The one who performed the most took the most.

‘It seems so to me.’

It was distributed according to their rules.

Even though the amount was different, everyone seemed to be dissatisfied.

Now, with the newly distributed parts, do they return to their original places? Is it to restore the body there?

The answer was no.

“It heals itself, no, it repairs itself.”

“Should I say that he has half-self-repairing abilities?”

“Huum… … It’s a mechanical body restoration. It would be quite fun if I applied this to my necromancy.”

They have their own parts.

carried out self-healing.

Each of them had different recovery abilities.

Some recovered very quickly.

Others recovered at a very slow pace.

In any case, the repair itself seemed possible.

The problem emerged after this.

-From the outside, it seems to have been restored normally, but… … It’s like a twisted mess. The flow of magical power is uneven.

‘It seems to me as well. It feels like a temporary patch.’

– It seems that some kind of coordination is necessary… … . In this situation, that would be unreasonable.

‘surely… … That must be the reason.’

These are only superficially repaired.

The flow of mana that I felt from them was not smooth.

It was close.

Here was the cause of their defeat.

these. too exhausting

“Aren’t your battles too exhausting? Do you think you’re ruining yourself?”

[I know it even if you don’t say it. Even broken parts are recycled, and they are not even properly tuned. Do you know the feeling that your whole body is always creaking?]

“I don’t know. I don’t even want to know.”

[Keuk. I felt it during the negotiations, but you are more honest than necessary. Every time it is repaired, the whole body sag. Not to mention the consumption of mental power.]

“Stand with it anyway… … .”

At this point, isn’t it simply a good level of willpower?

It is a great thing to step forward with the intention of using me as an opportunity to resist.

It is a superhuman level of will.

It made me feel ashamed for laughing at them all over again.

To my question, what the hell makes them move like this.

They answered in one word.

[Because I have to live.]

“I have to live… … That’s right.”

It was a similar answer to mine.

Come to think of it, so did I.

Even in the midst of the void approaching, they fought to survive.

I was outraged.

Even in the face of defeat, he fought fiercely.

that was how i lived

No, it was a struggle to live.

They were also doing the same thing.

The more you fight, the more you fall apart.

Because I can no longer recover my exhausted body.

Even if you yourself are annihilated.

Even knowing all of that, I was struggling to live.

On the subject of a moth running towards death.

It was a way to burn himself brighter than anyone else.

that.

Even for me, who had crossed the line dozens of times, I couldn’t help but show awe.

How can I laugh at these people?

At least I couldn’t

Is that why?

I completely abandoned my mind of ridiculing them before, and suddenly I felt a new emotion.

‘These kids shouldn’t die easily.’

It was a whim.

Even if someone makes a quick change of attitude, there is nothing to say.

What can I do?

When I see people struggling like this, I’m the kind of person who throws away calculations that measure back and forth.

So I called two old colleagues for my little whim.

“Isaiah, Marie. Come here for a moment.”

“Why is that, Hanhui?”

“Um… … ? Aren’t you going right to the next hunt?”

To the two who approached me with doubts, I told them about my little whim.

The reaction to that was different from what I expected.

“Hoo… … .”

“That would be unreasonable… … .”

Isaiah responded as if it were fun.

Marie gave off a nuance of disapproval.

‘I thought Isaiah would object and Mary would agree? It’s surprising.’

It was the complete opposite reaction that I had not expected either.

However, aren’t such unexpected things always fun?

So, with Mari’s opposition and Isaiah’s interest on my back, I spoke again.

Please accept my whim.

“Let’s do as I say this time.”

“why? It could be a loss.”

“Because I want to do that this time.”

“… … Because I really can’t help it.”

“Hi-Hi. that would be fun! This kind of thing is always welcome!”

As Marie accepted my whim, something unexpected began.

And that change… … .
