The Exalted-statue died in a simple explosion as strong as Rank 5 Transcendent or possibly. This meant the bullet I had Irja use was somewhat a waste.
Well, not really a waste. It would be hard for Monady to get close to it if not for it being frozen by the ice-blue rifle.
After that initial shock at the metal cube's strength, Monady regained her wits when one of the stones hit her in the head. It didn't hurt, of course, but it was enough for her to wake up from her trance.
She then fumblingly told us to pick up the stones for a tally before moving towards the meeting point where we were supposed to prepare for the final assault.
At this point, it's not about killing the last 12 Gigant World Transcendents anymore. It will be about destroying the Red Core before anything unexpected happened that would doom us all.
