Volume 1 Chapter 413
by post_apiChapter 413: Goodbye!
At the shout from the mercenary, everyone turned to look in the direction of the cave.
Lolth also activated her sensing skill, trying to understand what kind of "big creature" could frighten this group of mercenaries even more than the chaotic battle with the monsters.
"It can’t possibly be another legendary-level monster, can it?"
Lolth murmured this as she focused on her sensing.
The feeling that came back was so overwhelming that she couldn’t contain herself.
The waves coming from the cave were undeniably at the legendary level.
But…
There are three of them, and they are not monsters.
From the view of that ancient and orderly magic, they mostly ran out from ancient ruins…
Lolth thought this as the three terrifying, legendary beings walked out of the cave.
From a distance, they appeared to be three giants, seemingly wearing bronze armor, nearly ten meters tall, their heavy footsteps shaking the ground with every step.
Because of their enormous size, as they left the entrance of the cave, which was still quite large, they inevitably bumped into and knocked off some stones from the ceiling.
The stones fell on them, making a clattering sound, announcing their arrival.
Finally, the three bronze giants stood on the ridge of Wild Boar Mountain!
And Lolth, along with everyone present, finally saw what they looked like.
They were not giants wearing armor made of bronze, but giants actually made of bronze.
Their skin had magical patterns worn down by the wind and sand, and they held enormous weapons—a long sword, a giant axe, and a staff—made from a magic device that did not belong to this era. Their joints had clear mechanical parts, and their heads were featureless, only wearing a helmet with an exaggerated pair of horns.
Although most of the mercenaries did not recognize what it was, Lolth immediately recognized where it came from.
From the reactions around her, she could roughly guess…
Krado, Raven, and Julie clearly knew what it was as well.
However, just like Lolth, this was probably the first time they had seen the real thing.
But anyway, Lolth couldn’t help but exclaim.
"The Ruins of Sand truly are the work of the Ailuo civilization… Even their damn ‘Fully Autonomous Bronze Guardian’ has appeared."
"But do we really need all three of them?"
After tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of years, this large, fully automatic magic device, called the "Fully Autonomous Bronze Guardian," created by the ancient civilization known as the Ailuo race, has reappeared on the mainland plane!
After Lolth called out the name of this thing, the mercenaries who did not recognize it also understood what it was.
The words "Autonomous Guard" were truly thunderous in their impact.
Nowadays, all the magic golems and magical puppet technology on the mainland can be traced back to the "Autonomous Guard."
A miraculous invention from the ancient civilization of the Ailuo race.
Known for being very tough, very strong, and very hard to deal with!
Lolth was very clear about this.
Although the extraordinary wave was only at the beginner level of legend rank, this thing was not any easier to fight than the giant serpent monster they faced earlier.
It was luxuriously made entirely from enchanted materials and magical metals, with defense almost at the very top of legend rank.
Without pain, without feeling, without a soul, it was immune to all mental spell attacks.
But looking at the hardness of this metal shell and the complexity of the anti-magic patterns on it, ordinary physical attacks and regular magic attacks are really no different from being immune.
The head is not a weak point; it is simply designed to look nice.
The only core is located inside the chest—Lolth doesn’t think a core that requires cutting through more than two meters of enchanted metal can be called a weak point.
This is just its defensive power!
The attack methods of these things are even more terrifying.
The composite magic device in hand would far surpass any magic device in the mainland plane.
In terms of complexity and magic power, these guys are more like holding a small magical watchtower.
The comparison between ordinary magic devices and these large composite magic devices is like comparing a starter item in a DOTA-style game shop to the defensive towers and high-ground buildings in your home.
There is absolutely no comparison.
Furthermore, because the core of this thing is very advanced, even though it lacks a soul and consciousness, it does not mean it is a clumsy enemy.
Whether it is a monster or a Superoperator from an intelligent race, whether good at close combat or ranged attacks, casting spells or fighting…
It has basically pre-loaded plans to deal with them.
This also means that if there are multiple instances of this thing, they often coordinate perfectly with each other.
Now, three have suddenly appeared…
To be honest, if the giant snake hadn’t passed out and wanted to challenge these three guys, it could have easily been torn apart by these three bronze buddies.
In other words, right now, Lolth either has to drop all disguises or get caught and beaten up.
Considering that there is no "Holy Domain" to act freely on this continent, these three creatures basically represent the highest combat power.
So Lolth showed no hesitation and ran toward the pile of monsters in the opposite direction.
"Brothers, run fast!"
Seeing Lolth leading the way, Julie and Raven didn’t hesitate and quickly followed.
Krado took a glance at the others who dashed out ten meters, paused for a moment, and then hurriedly brought along the slower Florence and Hood.
In no time, all the mercenary groups were running wildly.
Even those who had just been watching didn’t hesitate under the visible threat.
After all, the person controlling the monsters outside had unclear intentions, while the Autonomous Guard of the ruins never wavered.
Since their appearance, regardless of which ruin it was, they only followed one command.
"Kill all living things until you leave their ‘jurisdiction’!"
Even though they didn’t know why this time the territory of the ruin guards had strangely extended to the main plane…
But as long as they are still moving towards you, it proves one thing.
"These guys are still in indiscriminate elimination mode!"
However… this point can still be used to our advantage.
After all, this elimination mode is "indiscriminate."
"Lead them into the monster pile!"
Lolth shouted, and many of the mercenaries understood her intention.
Everyone ran harder, heading towards the monster pile.
But after shouting this, Lolth made a quick dash into the monster pile…
Taking advantage of the mercenaries’ distraction, she made a sharp turn and executed a complete spin in the blurred boundary of the monster’s encirclement!
Then she hid her presence and ran towards the cave that held the "plane channel"!
"Goodbye!"
