The sudden appearance of a huge undead startled the two siblings who were still engrossed in clearing monsters in the game. At this moment, apart from the intersections at both ends of the street, the houses on the left and right also echoed with the sounds of skeletons colliding and objects collapsing.

Strange! These brainless skeletons have actually learned to take detours?

"Hey!" Aya realized something and turned around to glare at Angelica, who was still preparing to watch the show.

"You guessed it right, that big guy is an advanced species, capable of commanding lower-level undead. When he was alive, he was a giant, probably the oldest undead here," the girl smiled, "Come on, Aya, sister, don't die easily."

"What did you say? That thing actually has intelligence?"

"...You don't know? Then what you wanted to ask me just now was..."

The smile on the girl's face froze.

"I was just reminding you not to lose the package I gave you earlier. My adventurer ID card is inside. If it's lost, I won't be able to claim the bounty," Aya said seriously.

Suddenly, Angelica had the urge to pick up the entire package and throw it into the muddy puddle outside.

"But thanks for the information! So, after defeating this guy, the rest should be easy to solve, right?"

Aya clenched her fists, and a golden flame surged out, as if igniting a small sun in the dim marsh.

The giant undead let out a deep roar from its broken chest, and after knocking down a row of three-story buildings, it marched towards Aya, with a fist as big as a horse carriage, even though its decaying flesh remained under its iron-gray skin, its strength was not weaker than when it was alive.

Once again, wiping out a group of low-level skeleton soldiers, Ino became more courageous in battle. Under Aya's blessing, his state of infinite regeneration made him unsatisfied with dealing with the small fries. His red eyes locked onto the big guy who had crashed into the building.

"I'll leave it to you, sis! I also want to meet that thing!"

Irresponsibly leaving behind those words, Ino thrust his spear and repelled the skeletons in front of him, then followed Aya, jumping onto the roof and heading straight for the giant undead.

"For heaven's sake, Ino, get back here!" Atrahasis was dumbfounded. These people are really hard to handle! It's already dangerous enough to suddenly be surrounded by numerous undead, and if something happens due to their recklessness, they will be responsible for it!

But now she had no time to worry too much. The undead that broke through was already close, and many skeleton soldiers poured in from the gap in the building broken by the giant undead. Atrahasis suddenly found herself in a predicament, surrounded on three sides.

"But that's what makes it more interesting!"

Taking a deep breath to suppress her surging emotions, Atrahasis's excited expression slowly converged, replaced by a calmness that remained unshaken even before the collapse of Mount Tai, and a fighting spirit simmering in her pupils.

The deep blue war fortress transformed once again. The originally forward-facing turrets rotated horizontally, more gun barrels extended, and fierce gunfire erupted from all directions, capable of stopping the enemy a hundred steps away.

War Fortress: Complete Mode. I alone am an army!

The Azure Gunner unleashed all firepower at this moment.

...

Just now, he rushed up impulsively, and now that he was close to Ino, he realized that it was a bit troublesome. This thing was at least five stories tall, not only possessing immense strength, but also covered in a black-armored that was entangled in dark energy. Even his beloved weapon might not be able to cause effective damage. How should he fight this?

"Hey, this thing is at least capable of attacking a city, right? Do you have any ideas?"

Following Aya closely, Ino dodged the falling debris and asked, "Aya, what's going on?"

Aya remained silent for a moment before flashing a confident smile. "Hey, I've even taken on the Holy Rank in Sainz before. What's this compared to that?"

With a single thought, countless exploding fireballs shot up from her hand. The rain of fiery orbs turned half the sky red, giving off a feeling of an annihilating city in flames.

Even Ino was astonished for a split second. But before he could even express his amazement, the undead giant swung a rusted, worn sword that seemed to come from nowhere and swept away the remaining flames and smoke.

"So useless..." Ino gritted his teeth, preparing to confront the giant head-on.

Finally, the undead giant retaliated with its first strike, and it was heart-stoppingly intense.

The ground suddenly caved in, and the giant was no longer in its original place. This creature was actually able to jump dozens of meters in the air, carrying its heavy body, flipping and plummeting with unrivaled power towards the area where the three were.

The immensely strong gust of wind arrived almost simultaneously, pressing down on them so heavily that they could hardly lift their heads. If that thing truly came crashing down, half the street would likely be gone.

"We're done for! Sis, get out of the way!"

Ino understood in an instant, as the giant jumped, that its target was Eteras, a fully active war fortress. Eteras was known as the "Azure Gunner," renowned for its resilience in defense and unmatched firepower, making it the most solid fire support unit in battle, but as a cost, it had the lowest flexibility.

In such a fierce battle where they were fully engaged with enemies, it was almost impossible to dodge such an attack.

Angelica was right in saying that this thing had intelligence, and not just a low one. It had directly assessed the situation on the field and targeted the weakest and most rewarding spot.

"But it won't be that easy for you to succeed!"

Aya remained completely unfazed. She took a step back, crouched down, and gathered energy for half a second before slamming her fist towards the sky.

In the blink of an eye, a massive pillar of golden light rose from the ground, directly colliding with the falling undead giant like a shooting star. The impact sent the giant flying several meters upwards before it tumbled and landed on the other side.

Wow, so incredible...

Ino opened his mouth but couldn't find any words. He was a bit stunned. This punch carried the full force of Chi and had nothing to do with magic, but to execute such a punch, most Ninth Rank Knights wouldn't be able to do it.

"Hehe, now you know how amazing I am, right?" Aya finally let out a sigh of relief when she saw Ino's expression. This little brat had been annoying her all along the way, but she had finally shut him up.

"Amazing... my foot!"

The brat clicked his tongue. He had actually wanted to compliment her, but seeing Aya so pleased with herself, he just couldn't let her have her way!

"But that thing isn't dead yet." Ino pointed at the undead giant that was climbing to its feet in the distance. He added sarcastically, "Sadly, it's still alive."

Under Aya's dragon punch, this thing had lost a good portion of its decaying flesh and blood, but its skeletal structure remained intact amidst the golden light. Along with the heavy atmosphere surrounding it, its wounds were visibly healing at a rapid pace.

"Wow, so resilient?"

In order to quickly end the battle, Aya had put all her Chi into that punch and even applied two buff amplifications to herself. She hadn't expected this thing to be able to withstand it.

Ino remained expressionless. Well, whether this thing could withstand it or not, Ino felt that it was no longer his concern. After all, no matter what, he couldn't win against it...

Just now, Aya's attack completely shattered his worldview, leaving his chuunibyou spirit severely wounded. How is it even possible to deliver such a punch? It seems that I still have a long way to go in my own training...

Of course, Aya had no idea that she unintentionally cured a certain chuunibyou boy's chuunibyou. Right now, all she could think about was how to defeat the giant in front of her.

"Tsk, with such strong regenerative abilities... Do I have to target the nape of the neck to deal with this thing?"

"Target, the nape of the neck?" Ino was taken aback.

"Yeah, isn't it said in your human books that the best tactic against giants is to cut their napes of the neck? This is not only their most vulnerable spot, but it also hinders their regeneration," Aya said matter-of-factly.

"Huh? Is that so? I've never heard of that, but... maybe," After witnessing the power of Aya's punch, Ino felt like whatever she said seemed reasonable...

"Yeah, that's what Tiran told me at the time," Aya nodded. She stretched out her hands in the air, grasping at nothingness. Two sparks flickered, and fiery lines grew like seeds, forming a skeletal structure. Then flames surged, turning into two blazing swords.

Grand Magic: Branch of Catastrophe.

"Well then, let's give it a try with a cut."

...

"Achoo!"

Tiran, who was in the castle, suddenly sneezed. But soon, he dismissed it and continued reading "Attack on XX".

"Your Highness, Your Highness? Are you there?"

Knocking on the door interrupted him, and Mimi's voice came from outside the room. "Mr. Raether is looking for you... It's about Chirp."
