Extreme Cold Era: Shelter Don't Keep Waste-Chapter 625 - 589: First Appearance of the Divine

Seeing the knights fall on the battlefield, Perfikot's heart was unmoved.

Although this was the first time a Steam Knight had fallen in battle, and there was even a record of a Steam Knight's death, she had anticipated this event well in advance.

After all, Steam Knights were not invincible beings. In this era, they could easily defeat ordinary armies and average Extraordinary individuals, but when facing entities beyond the ordinary concept, they had no advantage.

Especially when facing colossal units over ten meters tall, they were outclassed in terms of both size and combat power, only able to take a beating.

In the very first moments of the battle, about four or five Autonomous Knights were destroyed by the shock waves of the clash, along with a dozen Steam Knights who suffered varying degrees of impact.

Only a few, like Maguire, could charge in, inflict damage on the purple giants, and retreat unscathed.

However, Perfikot did not feel any regret about this or think that the sacrifices of the Steam Knights were undue.

Both the Steam Knight armor and the knights themselves were nothing more than expendable assets on the battlefield, even though they might have been given unusual meaning and symbolism.

In the past, there was nothing capable of piercing their defenses, making Steam Knights seem invincible like a dimensional floor-sweep.

But now, with purple giants who could easily crush their armor, the Steam Knights naturally were no longer invincible.

Quite the opposite, the Steam Knights had become consumables on the battlefield, breaking upon contact—a more literal term might be cannon fodder.

Such a battlefield, resemblant of a mythical Godslayer saga, was indeed not a place where these unsanctioned entities could intervene.

However, now that the upgraded and strengthened claw wolves and Gun Knights clearly surpassed the two purple giants, even though the battle cost at least ten Steam Knights, Perfikot could see that the fall of the two giants was only a matter of time.

Especially when one of them had already been wounded by a blow, it was expected to soon fall under the ax of the claw wolves.

Yet Perfikot's eyes never left the Light of Joy behind them from Apulodi, which made her believe that the opponent's real backup was not these two purple giants.

Or perhaps these two purple giants were just decoyed cannon fodder meant to stall for time, with the true threat lurking beneath that purple light.

With that thought, Perfikot ordered the nearby captain: "Send the order to the Equivalent Exchange to have Sanderion launch immediately! Remind her to be cautious of the purple pillar of light and be sure to wear protective gear to withstand mental impacts."

The captain dared not delay, hastily arranging for the signalmen to use semaphore towards another large transport ship, also sending a series of light signals to ensure the other side received the message properly.

Sanderion received the signal quickly and, without hesitation, took Aruru, which she had crafted last time, and plunged into the giant battle arena.

Seeing the oversized Gun Knights and claw wolves on both sides, along with the two opposing purple giants, Sanderion seriously evaluated the situation and ordered: "Aruru, go support the Gun Knights, find a way to weaken that creature!"

Although merely a magical construct, Aruru's combat ability was beyond doubt.

As the treasured ace of the former Alchemist Association president, Perfikot was confident in her expertise, and believed that the magical constructs Sanderion created had sufficient combat capacity.

Aruru, meeting Sanderion's expectations, charged onto the battlefield to intercept the claws aimed at the Gun Knight with a hammer blow, visibly cracking the seemingly solid claw.

Compared to the last battle against the Death God Sect, Aruru seemed to have undergone a qualitative leap in strength, now appearing comparable to the Godslaying Armor.

With Aruru joining, the battle naturally began to favor Perfikot's side even more.

The claw wolves had already severely injured their opponent and were further expanding the victory with Maguire, who had been cheering from the sidelines, performing excellently. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

He organized the remaining Steam Knights into small teams, attacking the already seriously injured purple giant with relentless fervor, preventing it from focusing on the claw wolves' assault.

Maguire clearly understood by now that Steam Knights alone couldn't inflict substantial damage on the purple giants, their contribution simply wasn't needed for this battle.

However, they could distract the giants enough to hinder their defense against the claw wolves, thereby creating more opportunities for the latter's offensive.

Through such strategies, Maguire and the other Steam Knights, though unable to deal significant damage, greatly distracted the purple giant, allowing the claw wolves to etch wound after wound on it.

Meanwhile, the Gun Knight, in cooperation with Aruru, pierced the shoulder of the giant in front of him with his long spear, successfully disarming it.

Despite having four limbs, losing an arm was a significant impact on the purple giant.

The limbs that spread symmetrically on either side originally maintained its balance, and now, with an arm missing, this balance was broken, making it hard to regain momentary stability.

Needless to say, with only three hands left to face Aruru and the Gun Knight, it was much harder for the giant to defend against their attacks.

"It seems victory is at hand unless these guys have any other tricks up their sleeve..." Sanderion observed the now-optimistic battle situation, realizing these Evil God Sect forces were not so formidable.

Although they did bring out seemingly mighty things, which indeed could have wreaked havoc upon Langton without the Godslaying Armor.

But when the Godslaying Armor could withstand, and even defeat the divine creatures summoned by this Evil God Sect, everything became less significant.

Yet as Sanderion pondered this, a new giant emerged from within the purple pillar of light, radiating an intense pressure that even made Sanderion's palms sweat.

"This is a true Divine!" Both Sanderion and Perfikot instantly recognized this.
