Extreme Cold Era: Shelter Don't Keep Waste-Chapter 593 - 557 Arrival of Reinforcements

The giant sword swung horizontally, its design based on a Divine Artifact ensured that every strike could release a slash visibly traceable in the air, leaving a slash at least half a meter deep on the ground or walls.

Such powerful strikes, even this terrifying skeleton giant beast in front of it dared not take head-on. It had to use the skull face on its waist and belly along with two skeletal claws to release a shield for defense amidst its agile maneuvers.

Yet, even so, the werewolf armor's slashing power remained astounding, forcing the skeleton giant beast to replenish its shield from time to time.

The battle between them was clearly not just a simple turn-based exchange. In fact, for the skeleton giant beast, releasing shields, firing spectral cannonballs from its beast head, and even throwing bone projectiles from its back simultaneously posed no problem. It could even swing two large chain balls to attack at the same time.

Comparatively, the werewolf armor's attack methods seemed much simpler, consistently relying only on the giant sword, transformed from the battle axe in its hand, for slashing and defense without displaying other attack techniques.

Yet, one must admit, the werewolf armor truly lived up to the name Godslayer. Even with this single attack method, it could fight the skeleton giant beast to a standstill, even showing faint signs of suppressing it. Its combat power was undeniably strong.

However, the prolonged stalemate was not good for either the werewolf armor or the skeleton giant beast. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

After all, neither was designed with prolonged or attritional combat as the objective.

Although the werewolf armor had considered combat sustainability in its initial design, it's clearly not intended for long-term high-intensity combat.

As for the skeleton giant beast, it was even less suited for prolonged battles. Its activity constantly consumed the souls within its chest cavity. Though the consequences of exhausting these souls were unknown, watching the beast's attack patterns becoming gradually anxious indicated it's equally not a good sign.

Relatively speaking, the werewolf armor appeared to be able to persist longer.

But after another slash, the chopping axe in the werewolf armor's hand seemed to enter an overheating state. A stream of scorching white steam spewed from the exhaust port on the axe, popping open the latch and refolding into a long-handled double-bladed battle axe.

Clearly, the weapon of the werewolf armor had overheated.

The mysterious person remotely monitoring the battlefield looked slightly grim but showed no concern, simply using remote control to let the werewolf armor continue fighting and activated another Divine Artifact mounted on it.

This time, the werewolf armor no longer dodged the skeleton giant beast's attacks but summoned a shield for defense, quickly advancing to one of the chain balls swung by the giant beast, and directly hacked the chain behind it with the chopping axe, cutting it down instantly.

During the previous battles, the werewolf armor had attempted similar acts, but the skeleton giant beast's reaction speed was not inferior, resulting in several unsuccessful attempts, as slashes from the giant sword couldn't directly sever the chain, leading to some useless efforts.

However, the chain ball was overly cumbersome. Although the skeleton giant beast had been using chain balls to attack, they proved to be more of a nuisance than having any actual effect on the werewolf armor.

Yet considering the weight of these chain balls, the werewolf armor continuously evaded, showing clear apprehension towards the spectral and bone attacks.

This had led the skeleton giant beast's attack pattern to focus on using chain balls for restraint and mainly employing spectral and bone attacks.

Now, with its shield deflecting the opponent's attacks and disrupting its attack rhythm, the werewolf armor easily severed the chain ball.

The loss of the chain ball hardly affected the skeleton giant beast's strength, but with the chain balls' restraints gone, the werewolf armor's evasive space significantly increased, making it more agile and adept.

The mysterious person monitoring the battle now wore a heavy expression, sensing a strong sense of crisis as if something dangerous was about to happen.

"Could there be an even stronger enemy yet to appear? Or is there some hidden danger in the skeleton giant beast?" With an unshakable sense of crisis in her heart, the mysterious person's expression grew more solemn: "Must I really go onsite to check the situation? But the battle between the Godslayer Armor and the skeleton giant beast isn't something an ordinary person can intervene in! Even if I go down, I can't enter the underground altar."

The mysterious person had indeed considered personally examining the situation, but with the underground battle escalating, the surface buildings were already destroyed by the tremors from below, with the structures surrounding the original Death Sect stronghold continuously collapsing.

Though the werewolf armor and skeleton giant beast's battle hadn't brought down the underground altar, their fight indirectly obliterated virtually every structure within a kilometer radius, even cracking open the ground into gaping fissures large enough to swallow several people.

Undoubtedly, this level of destruction intensified the mysterious person's worries regarding the source of her unease and sense of crisis.

However, this concern stemmed not from the heart-pounding fear of the skeleton giant beast but rather an alertness to the unknown danger.

It's like knowing a bomb will detonate but not knowing when, where, or its power.

Faced with such circumstances, who wouldn't be tense?

Fortunately, at that moment, the reinforcements she'd been awaiting finally arrived, with the massive first-generation Godslayer Armor being deployed above the now-ruined Death Sect stronghold.

"What do you plan to do?" Sanderion shouted across from the deck of a Flying Airship to the mysterious person.

"Let this Godslayer Armor also enter underground. I'm increasingly uneasy, so let's resolve this quickly! Additionally, there's an eerie statue in the underground altar; I'm unsure about its danger, so I'd appreciate you going down yourself." The mysterious person advised.

Sanderion nodded and then controlled the massive first-generation Godslayer Armor to similarly enter the underground altar.

Having transcended the Legendary shackles as an Alchemist, although Sanderion wasn't specialized in combat, she remained the most powerful Extraordinary in the current Victor Empire or, indeed, the entire realm.

However, she's not a combat-type profession, and truly, her destructive power doesn't match that of a knight or mage who has surpassed the Legendary shackles.

But if one underestimates what a top-tier Alchemist who has lived for centuries can achieve on the battlefield, they can only pray for fortune.
