The Doomsday Beast appeared predominantly black with purple hues. Lying on the Railway Platform, it stood nearly a hundred meters tall, resembling a small mountain. Behind it, a massive purple aura radiated, exuding an overwhelming presence.
Its icy eyes seemed like deathly beams, scanning over everyone present.
"Himeko warned sternly, "Everyone, be cautious!"
The Doomsday Beast allowed no time for rest and initiated its attack first.
With a sweeping motion of its calamitous right arm, the sheer destructive force was enough to make ordinary people tremble uncontrollably.
Himeko and her companions hastily evaded.
Upon seeing the Doomsday Beast emerge, Bochang wisely retreated to a distance, ensuring he was not within range of this initial assault and did not burden others with his protection.
Even from afar,
the powerful gust forced the black-haired youth to take a step back.
One could easily imagine that if this attack had been directed at Bochang, he would have been unable to dodge and would likely have ended up like a ragdoll, swept aside into the trash. As an archer, March 7th retreated almost immediately next to him during the Doomsday Beast's assault.
"Where did you get that spear from?" The pink-haired girl curiously asked upon seeing his weapon.
"Not now," Bochang replied. "Let's focus on dealing with this monster first."
Raising his hand, the black-haired youth launched the first attack against the Doomsday Beast. His instant Dragon Blast struck like a missile hitting the enemy, but alas, it only left a fleeting black mark, which seemed easily removable with a wipe.
The attack failed to penetrate its defenses, as expected. After all, the Doomsday Beast was designed to combat celestial bodies; it wouldn't be so easily defeated.
"Is it due to insufficient power, or perhaps... do we need to target specific areas, similar to how it works in the game?"
"Don't target the body of the Doomsday Beast. Focus on its hands and the dark matter engine on its chest; otherwise, it's nearly impossible to breach its defenses!"
Himeko's voice confirmed Bochang's suspicion.
The redheaded big sister also launched her attack against the Doomsday Beast. Her black briefcase transformed into what seemed like a large sword, which she swung effortlessly. Just as Stelle thought Himeko was about to strike the beast with the briefcase...
A single-molecule saw suddenly emerged from within.
The rapidly spinning circular saw cut twice in quick succession on the enemy's left hand, leaving two massive visible wounds.
With her high Speed and precise timing, the Doomsday Beast could not evade and had to endure the blows head-on.
Following suit, Bochang, Stelle, Dan Heng, and March 7th unleashed their fierce assaults on the dragon-like monster.
Flaming beams, baseball bat, long spear, and arrows all targeted the left hand of the beast.
Leaving numerous marks on its body.
Unlike Himeko's strikes, their attacks caused only minor injuries. Without the initial wounds inflicted by the redheaded woman,
Bochang even suspected...
that despite focusing their combined firepower, it might have merely tickled the enemy.
"It can clearly fly, yet insists on taking hits while grounded. This Doomsday Beast truly... Wait, could it be because the Railway Platform isn't large enough? It has to stay here to attack us..." Bochang wasn't sure if his observation was accurate, nor did he dwell on it much; instead, he joined March 7th and others in assaulting the Doomsday Beast. After another Dragon Blast, the black-haired youth seized the opportune moment and forcefully hurled the Vow Spear.
The blue spear streaked across the sky like a shooting star, heading straight for the Antimatter Engine in the enemy's chest.
This was the power source of the Doomsday Beast.
Within it lay a small black sphere encased by several metallic armor plates, resembling an enlarged heavy particle.
If they could destroy it,
half the battle would be won.
Noticing the attack, the Doomsday Beast reached out to intercept and swatted the Vow Spear aside with a swift motion. Everyone watched helplessly as Bochang's weapon soared further and further into outer space...
Beside him, March 7th remarked, "Bochang, you missed... And now your weapon is gone too. But don't worry, supporting us from behind with Explosion works just as well. It's just unfortunate about your spear..."
A weapon capable of withstanding a direct hit from the Doomsday Beast without damage.
Everyone knew March 7th's spear was exceptional, and losing it was truly unfortunate.
"Don't worry, let the spear fly for a bit longer."
Bochang slightly raised his head, confident that the Vow Spear, once launched, would inevitably strike its target. Although it missed this time, he knew it would circle around and return towards its aim, showing no concern whatsoever.
The pink-haired girl didn't understand what he meant.
However...
Soon, March 7th realized what Bochang implied. After several more rounds of attacks against the Doomsday Beast, she watched as the blue long spear flew back, not only undiminished in speed but actually appearing faster than before.
"Huh?"
Everyone witnessing this scene was astonished.
The Doomsday Beast clearly hadn't noticed the incoming attack from behind; instead, it lifted Dawn's left hand, aiming directly at Himeko, intent on eliminating the greatest threat first.
Realizing the enemy's intent, the redheaded woman swiftly chose to retreat.
The Doomsday Beast could withstand their attacks effortlessly—a feat they couldn't match. In fact, any single hit from the Doomsday Beast would instantly incapacitate them, likely resulting in severe injury or death.
"Boom!"
Dawn's left hand slammed into the empty ground, leaving a massive imprint nearly ten meters wide on the Railway Platform. The resulting gust almost sent Bochang flying; he stumbled back several steps before regaining his footing.
The sheer power of this strike—
was comparable to Bochang fully activating the Dragon Talisman. Had they been in a slightly more confined space, Bochang undoubtedly would have been lifted off his feet.
At that moment...
The Vow Spear struck the Doomsday Beast from behind, piercing its skin. Although it didn't cause significant damage, it momentarily stunned the creature.
Dan Heng and Stelle seized the opportunity.
One targeted the left hand, while the other aimed for the right.
"Cavern Illusion, Endless Dream!"
"Rules...are meant to be broken!"
Both the spear and baseball bat landed heavily on the Doomsday Beast, producing deafening sounds. After sustained attacks, the beast's hands were already covered with wounds.
Dan Heng and Stelle's attacks were akin to the final straw that broke the camel's back, temporarily immobilizing the dragon-like monster's hands.
Meanwhile, March 7th, Himeko, and Bochang focused their aim on the dark matter engine in the chest of the Doomsday Beast.
Thick arrows, descending lasers, and pillars of flame—three distinct ranged attacks converged simultaneously on the dark matter engine, triggering a violent explosion.
Bochang staggered slightly, having expended a significant amount of energy to ensure his attack was effective against the Doomsday Beast without wasting this opportunity.
"Don't let your guard down; the Doomsday Beast isn't defeated yet."
Himeko charged forward, wielding her suitcase at the forefront, intent on continuing her assault on the dark matter engine.
But it was too late.
The Antimatter Engine suddenly flew up, performing rapid repairs on both damaged hands. The previously immobilized limbs regained full functionality, causing March 7th's lips to twitch involuntarily.
