Crossover Anime: Starting from Jobless Reincarnation

Page 312

Yet this forest was eerily quiet, as if it had died.

The towering trees swallowed up all the light, with only a few tiny rays filtering through the gaps in the shade and falling onto the leaf-strewn ground. The dim light was far from enough to illuminate the interior, making the forest appear somewhat eerie and sinister.

The seven people were standing outside. Their belongings were on the carriage, and they only took out what they might need, namely the weapons they used most often. They adjusted their gaze and looked into the distance.

In the far distance, a massive shadowy outline could be seen, stretching towards this place. With each step the huge fuselage took, the ground trembled slightly.

Luo Ya didn't speak. He adjusted his body, and wind elements gathered beneath his feet. A rising airflow enveloped Luo Ya, allowing him to float directly in mid-air and look down into the distance.

As the view opened up, Roya finally saw the whole thing.

It is indeed quite similar to what Luna described, and extremely similar to the portrait on the commission form.

However, just looking at the order form, although you can tell that this thing is terrifying, you still don't have a real concept of it. Only when you actually face it can you know the terror and the sense of oppression it brings.

Of course, the so-called sense of oppression was only for the newcomers. Luo Ya only frowned slightly, glanced at them a few more times, and then landed on the ground.

Seeing that Luo Ya was able to rise into the air, the group huddled together and discussed it for a few moments. After Luo Ya landed, they quickly stopped talking and asked, "How was it? Was it difficult to deal with?"

Luo Ya thought for a moment and said honestly, "It shouldn't be too difficult, but the premise is that your cooperation can't have too many problems. That mechanical fortress is indeed moving this way, and it should be able to reach here in about half an hour. If you can't intercept it here, judging from this direction, it must be heading towards the town."

Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts tightened, and their expressions became serious.

Even Aqua, who was usually carefree and jovial, adopted a serious demeanor and said in a deep voice, "I will definitely beat that guy to a pulp."

Everyone was in high spirits, and looking at this group of people, Luo Ya breathed a sigh of relief.

These adventurers have finally grown up, and at least in some respects, they are quite reliable.

Despite his thoughts, Roya still didn't dare let these people do as they pleased. Roya began to command, "Megumin's Explosion Magic is the key. One Explosion Magic spell is definitely not enough to end it. Megumin must release two Explosion Magic spells to completely intercept it."

Huihui asked, "But I can only cast one Explosion spell!"

Roya nodded slightly and continued, "That's the key. Huihui can only cast Explosion Magic once, and there's no way she'll have a second chance to cast it. So, Alice, it's your turn to step up."

Roya's gaze fell on Alice's small figure. The girl's eyes were serious and her expression was tense. Although she had a serious face, looking at this little girl, Roya always wanted to pinch her cheek.

However, now is not the time to do that. Luo Ya said seriously to everyone, "Alice has the Holy Sword. Although she can't cause fatal damage to this mechanical fortress, she can still intercept it. As long as Youyou cooperates with Alice, the effect may not be worse than a burst spell."

Megumin's Explosion Magic can indeed be described as abnormal. In the original work, very few people could withstand Megumin's Explosion Magic. In the anime, Megumin absorbed the magic power of Aqua and Darkness through Kazuma's Life Drain and grafted it onto Megumin, allowing her to cast Explosion Magic twice in a short period of time. This was how she managed to defeat the ridiculously large steel torrent.

But unlike the original story, this one introduces Yoyo and Alice.

Alice's slashing power is terrifying. Even a dragon cannot withstand a single sword strike from Alice. Yu-Yu can also unleash high-level magic. With the two of them complementing each other, their attack might not be much weaker than Megumin's explosive magic.

Seeing everyone nod in unison, Luo Ya nodded slightly and said to everyone, "Then that's settled, everyone get ready."

The group shouted and began preparing their belongings to meet the challenges ahead.

Luo Ya had made himself quite clear, and he believed the problem was minor, so his expression relaxed slightly, and he stopped paying attention to anything else.

However, as time passed, the trembling of the ground intensified, and even the pebbles on the ground moved slightly. Accompanied by the sound of trees hitting the ground, the burly figure drew ever closer.

Luo Ya narrowed his eyes slightly, pulled himself out of his thoughts, and looked into the distance.

This time, the mechanical fortress was no longer obscured by trees and was fully revealed. Its body, which was more than ten stories high, lived up to its name as a mechanical fortress. Just by walking, it snapped the surrounding trees in half. Its eight steel claws were enough to tear apart any large beast that stood in its way. No one could face this steel behemoth head-on.

Since it went out of control, countless villages have been destroyed. Wherever it goes, nothing remains intact. For this reason, people around the world have given it a resounding nickname: Destroyer.

Chapter 333 Encirclement and Suppression

Of course, Roya strongly suspected that such a title was given by a certain Crimson Demon Clan.

When everyone saw the fortress, they were all slightly taken aback, and their expressions changed.

Kazuma Sato originally thought he could just slack off, but when he saw the machine fortress, his expression became serious.

Logically, almost everyone would be cautious or worried about this, but two guys in Roya's team became restless.

"So cool! This is the first time I've ever seen something this big! It truly lives up to its reputation as the Destroyer Fortress. Yoyo, look, it's made entirely of steel!" Huihui, as usual, grabbed Yoyo and started exclaiming.

Youyou was being pulled along by Huihui, and a happy expression appeared on her face as well. However, Youyou seemed to be happy because Huihui was willing to approach her as before.

Kazuma Sato said with a serious face, "Hey, now's not the time to praise it. Such a huge behemoth is probably going to be difficult to deal with."

Huihui's excited expression gradually calmed down. She stood on the rock, as if that would make her already short body taller, so that she could see further.

After staring at the monster for a moment, Huihui said in a deep voice, "I don't know, how about we try casting an explosion spell first?"

However, the next moment, Roya's chop landed heavily on Huihui's head. Huihui covered her head, looking at the person who came with teary eyes.

Luo Ya was standing nearby, listening to their conversation.

After much discussion, the result remained largely unchanged, just as Roya had said.

In fact, if everyone had followed Luo Ya's plan, they might have been able to get through quickly.

But the question is, can these guys really execute the plan perfectly as planned?

The next moment, Kazuma Sato's voice came: "Get ready, that monster has moved into our designated area."

Instantly, everyone except Roya perked up.

"Aqua, give me your blessing!"

Kazuma said to Aqua with a serious expression.

However, the response was actually a somewhat disdainful one from Aqua.

"Huh? Wait a minute, I'll serve Huihui first. You're not much use, so you can go last."

Kazuma became somewhat displeased after being mocked by Aqua.

But Aqua didn't care whether Kazuma was happy or not. She ran to Megumin's side and began chanting, "Blessing! Attribute boost!"

"Blessings! May your luck improve!"

A burst of multicolored light surged from Aqua's body and then entered Megumin's body. Megumin was instantly energized, as if she had been injected with adrenaline.

Huihui said in a deep voice, "I feel great right now."

Aqua ignored Megumin and began casting support magic on everyone again.

Buffs were thrown at everyone for free, and Roya even threw one at her.

A force enveloped Roya, who was slightly surprised. He felt the power surging within his body. This power wasn't particularly strong, but it was very gentle. However, the key point wasn't that. What he really felt was that Roya could also sense a slight improvement in his attributes.

That's quite remarkable.

Even Roya's attributes can be improved, let alone others. It's not just basic attributes like strength and agility; the amount of mana required to use magic is also greatly reduced.

It seems that Aqua's title as a goddess does have some effect after all.

The ground trembled more and more violently, and everyone took it seriously. Since Roya was not interfering, Sato Kazuma had once again become the squad's commander.

When it came to actually facing the monster, Kazuma Sato didn't seem that nervous, but the boy still asked Megumin again, "Are you okay? This time, it's all up to you."

"Don't worry, don't worry! I will use explosive magic to blast, blast, blast until everything is reduced to ashes!"

Compared to her previous fearless attitude, Huihui now seemed somewhat nervous.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. This time, we're facing a colossal creature that's tens of meters tall, so it's only natural to feel nervous.

However, before Huihui could make a move, Alice, who was standing at the front, had already slowly drawn the Holy Sword.

The dazzling silver sword was instantly enveloped in a golden light, and the holy light surrounded everyone. Alice, who was still young, stood in front and said very calmly, "With me here, I won't let this monster get close to you!"

At this moment, Alice revealed another side of herself, a regal declaration that seemed to give everyone confidence. In short, Huihui's tension gradually disappeared.

The expressions on everyone's faces turned serious as they looked at the mechanical fortress at the front, though the tension in their hearts had eased considerably.

"Megumin, prepare to unleash the Explosion spell. It will be too late by the time it gets here."

Luo Ya gave Hui Hui a proper reminder.

Huihui nodded, struck what she thought was a very cool pose, and began reciting the long, drawn-out lines.

"O pitch black, darker than black, merge with my crimson!"

A series of red magic circles, like nesting dolls, enveloped the sky above and quickly covered the previously designated location.

As long as this torrent of steel can reach the designated point, it will undoubtedly be hit head-on by this explosive magic.

Just as a group of people were seriously preparing to deal with the crisis that might come next.

Alice did not wait for Megumin's Explosion Magic; she launched her attack first.

The holy sword burst forth with golden light at this moment. Alice gripped the sword tightly in her hand, raised it high above her head with ease, and then slammed it down.

At that very moment, an invisible energy surge emanated from Alice and spread in all directions.

The power of the Holy Sword was no longer concealed. An arc-shaped slash was unleashed, and a sword aura nearly five zhang long was cleaved out, imbued with a divine aura. The powerful sword aura swept away the trees blocking its path in two with overwhelming force. Those ancient trees did not even offer any resistance, and were easily cut down as if they were tofu.

The golden sword energy, undiminished in its momentum, slashed down upon the Destroyer Fortress. However, the moment the golden strike collided with the massive fortress, a faint ripple appeared on the surface of the fortress, which spread out like water. The powerful strike was completely unable to do anything about it at that moment.

However, the fortress's advance paused slightly, but this pause did not last long. The fortress shook itself, and its eight spider legs continued to move forward.

As the light faded, Alice looked solemnly at the massive mechanical fortress. She wanted to raise her longsword and try again, but Roya called her back.

“Alice, come back. You’re just wasting your energy,” Roya said earnestly.

The mechanical fortress has an alarmingly high level of physical resistance; even Alice's slashes cannot effectively damage it.

Moreover, Alice's slash, in a sense, was a combination of physical and magical attacks, but it failed to break through the opponent's defense.

The mechanical fortress paused for a moment, but its pace did not change, and it continued to approach Roya and his group. Fortunately, this mechanical fortress did not have any means of attack, or rather, even if it did have means of attack, it might not be used because the fortress was empty and no one was piloting it.
