BATTLE OR ALIVE
Chapter 28: The Real Attack II

Mai's attack had a huge impact on Scorpio, now that the barrier Jell said was much stronger has now been broken.

Seeing that the attack Mai gave off had a good impact, Jell immediately issued a second command.

The second commandment was, the adventurers would attack from the middle direction and the knights would help from the side.

Forward to make an attack, the knights instantly took their respective positions.

The knights were divided into two groups, group A was led by Adolf and group B was led by his accomplices.

The two groups have already taken their respective positions, they are not within the range of Scorpio's attack, and their task is to help the adventurers in case of unexpected events.

With the attack that Mai did earlier greatly impacted this battle, it was because not only did it destroy the barrier protecting Scorpio, Mai also destroyed the Scorpio weapons and cannons.

This way the adventurers should be able to safely do their job.

But their pleasure did not last long, the fallen Scorpio now rose immediately and he seemed to be angry, it could be seen from his eyes that were shining red.

The voices of the machine are heard from inside Scorpio, he does not seem so foolish as to let himself be defeated even though his weapon has been destroyed, with it his secret weapon will be used immediately.

The scorpio body that looked extremely thick suddenly opened with each piece of iron that opened like a door, but not to entertain adventurers, coming out of the door was a minion army.

Instead of being called minions, they are more drones. But not ordinary Drones, the Drones have weapons and the shape is not at all similar to the Drone that can be imagined.

The drone is shaped like a minion or more into a minion of robots, the robot minions have weapons in the form of long claws that they use to destroy the enemy.

Minion troops come out of Scorpio's body which makes the reaction of adventurers who were originally happy because their task became easier, now even out minions which are also as troublesome as weapons and cannons.

Seeing the unexpected, Adolf ordered his troops to help the adventurers.

“Enemy visible, Forward!”

““AAAaaa!!!””

The sound of the shouts made by the knights was very loud, showing their fighting spirit, they with the cue from Adolf came forward and helped finish off the minions.

The current war situation is unpredictable, the Scorpio tail laser, and the minion troop in her body, are unknown to Marina.

He looked at Jell sharply, Jell seemed to have known this, so it was not difficult to prevent and retaliate for all the surprise attacks from the enemy.

(Who is this guy actually.)

Marina could not once understand and understand what was inside Jell's head, all she could know was, this person was very great.

The battle became very hot, the attacks that hit each other, the sound of swords clashing together, like music for the war that was going on.

Jell sees how far his plan has gone, for the final attack he needs more information from Scorpio.

He didn't want it when he came down for the final assault on the war, there would be something unexpected that would get in the way.

Jell was like using adventurers and knights as bait to get information, but even if they were just bait, he would not let the enemy eat them.

Seeing and continuing to research each battle plot, Jell suddenly advanced and left from the tent in use to where the commander of the troops observed the battle.

Looking at Jell who was already moving, Mai also came and came down from the top of the gate and followed behind her.

Rin looked at them, asked if they were already going to do the main attack, and Mai nodded her head.

“Then, I will also help.”

“What?”

Hearing what Rin said made Jell turn her face in surprise. She originally intended to let Rin and Marina stay fine and safe, it was because Jell had already told Marina that she would not allow Marina to intervene.

So, with Rin moving, it is the same as breaking his words.

“Oi oi, what I said.”

“I told you, I want to make.”

“But.”

“Nothing but. Mai will help from behind, won't she? So it would be easier if there are two people helping from behind.”

Being stubborn, was what Jell thought of Rin's current attitude. Not only was he rude, he turned out to have a stubborn attitude.

So Jell thought exactly how the relationship between Rin and Marian. A stubborn sister and a strict sister.

Hearing every repulsion Rin gave, it made Jell feel troublesome to deal with him. It could be seen sweat running down Jell's forehead. As for Mai, she did not interfere and continued to watch the battle.

“I told you, you don't have to come.”

“What, don't tell me that Mai's ability is much greater than mine.”

“It's obviously not.”

“Ap–”

To answer his confident attitude, Jell answered his words quickly. That was of course, because Mai's ability was much higher than Rin's.

“I don't want to know, anyway I'll come.”

“But.”

In this matter, Mai joined their conversation. He calmly, like he wasn't, allowed Rin to help.

“Let it be Jell, we will show him the extent of the power difference between us.”

“Hah!”

Hearing Mai's words earlier, indirectly said that she was much more powerful than Rin. Hearing his words makes Rin not accept, he does not want to be humbled by a comedian like Mai.

“oh, so you want to challenge me, do you?”

“Ara, are you angry.”

Rin looked at Mai sharply, and the gaze she gave Mai did not stab her either.

As if the two had started their own war, a black aura appeared on the faces of these two girls.

Jell can't help in this condition, all he has to do right now is one, which is defeat Scorpio.

***

Preparing with the sword already on his back, Jell was already in combat-ready condition.

Similarly to Mai and Rin, Rin this time did not take any foolish actions, she was now using a weapon that was much stronger than the previous battle.

That he got from having one of Yinn's subordinates to give him the guild's best shotgun. And if you see now, Mai's weapons are nothing with Rin's weapons, even though they both use the same weapons.

Both were ready with their preparations. Mai does not use any means of transportation like Rin does, Rin uses their strongest means of transportation “Jet Boots” and of course this she gets from the guild.

(Huh, only with an A-level weapon like that and also on foot, you are nothing with me, Mai.)

In her heart an arrogant attitude rose from the darkness, if only Marina had known that her sister had such an attitude she would have been disappointed.

“Alright, let's go forward!”

With Jell's command, in a matter of seconds Jell and Mai were like in the swallow of the earth they had suddenly moved as fast as light.

Rin who saw it did not believe what was happening, the speed of the two only left the wind and dust marks from their footholds.

Jell goes forward and Mai is at his back, their position they have determined and in this position Mai can easily help Jell without having to face the enemy in front of him.

And unknowingly, behind them Rin has started to follow.

The minions attacking the adventurers reacted to Jell quickly running towards them.

Turning his eyes away from the adventurers, they felt that Jell was a figure to stop.

The minions, who had let go of the quarrel with the adventurers and knights, headed in large groups towards Jell.

But Jell will not be that easy to stop, he has guessed and guessed all the possibilities, and the attacks made by the minions have also been predicted.

Wrinkling, Jell used his sword to slash the incoming minions.

“You're interrupting.”

Slash them into two halves. The minions could not land a single wound on Jell, it was because every time they would attack him their attacks would be directly on collide with Jell's attacks.

Their claws were indeed extremely sharp, but just by benefiting it it could not defeat Jell's sword in terms of strength.

Jell's sword was extremely powerful, and not only was his sword strength easy for him to use, so slashing at enemies quickly was not difficult.

And not only was it because of Jell's extremely powerful attack, the blind spot Jell had given him was also unable to receive an attack. That was because Mai was easily able to attack the enemy from behind.

The two advanced by crushing all the minions that came in the way, and inexplicably Jell felt like the attacking minions were endless.

Realizing that something was wrong with the current condition, Jell gave a signal and the two of them jumped back to take distance.

“Mai, you realize it, not.”

“Ah, they are endless.”

As Mai said, do not know how many minions have been slashed and destroyed both. But there was no sign that the minion had stopped.

Jell sees the conditions to devise a plan for him to move forward and finish off Scorpio. The minions are still very numerous, and the strangest thing is that even though Jell and Mai have already provoked a lot of attention from the minions to attack them, there are still minions who are fighting against knights and adventurers.

“They are endless, there should be a pattern governing this condition.”

Mai who saw the difficulty of their current condition, tried to guess and look for patterns from the emergence of the minions.

But it can be known by Jell easily.

“It looks like I've got the answer.”

“Oh, as expected.”

Jell walked slightly forward and grabbed one of the approaching minions, she caught it easily without receiving much resistance from the minion. Jell empty-handed instantly smashed the head of the minion and took out something.

“This is their core. We have destroyed many minions, but we are not aware that they can regenerate. And this core is what their weakness is.”

Knowing that defeating the minion becomes so easy, Jell shouts and summons Adolf who is currently busy fighting the minion.

Jell shouted and conveyed the weakness of the minion, listening to Adolf directly convey it to his other men, so that the weaknesses of the minions were already known.

“Mai, you're quite up here. I'll need your help from this distance.”

“Hm, alright.”

By keeping his sword in the belt, Jell quickly ran through the horde of minions that had come to block.

But now their weakness was known, when Jell would receive an attack, not only Mai, but the knights and adventurers also opened the way.

“Everything, open way for Jell forward!”

With a shout from Adolf, he ordered everyone to help and opened a path for Jell.

Getting treated like that, Jell slightly smiled and advanced through.

After passing through quite a number of annoying obstacles, Jell was finally able to get in front of Scorpio.

Looking at the comparison between their height, Jell is seen as just an ant trying to challenge an elephant.

(Big. But, with such a large body attacking him would be very easy.)

Jell who was standing in front of him put on a fearless face, she smiled grinningly looking at Scorpio.

Scorpio is just a machine, but if you look at it from the side of the world today, a machine can have its own consciousness.

“Yo, so you're the one who's gonna destroy the kingdom that I'm gonna lead soon, yeah. But I'm sorry, I won't let it go easily.”

Jell pulled out her sword she advanced. Jell uses various buff skills in the form of, “Mega Sword”, “Munlti Sword”, and the speed improvement skill he recently learned “Fast Step”.

Forward and straight towards the legs of Scorpio, since he was just silently staring at the battle, what Scorpio is doing according to Jell is the same as he did when in the first battle earlier.

Seeing Jell rising to his feet, Scorpio reacted and instantly took out from within his body many weapons and cannons.

“I've guessed you are indeed regenerating, yes.”

Surprised to see the weapons released by Scorpio quite a lot, Jell changed the direction of his movement which initially targeted the head now changed to destroy the weapon first.

Laser beam and explosive cannon in shot towards Jell, Scorpio is not stupid to destroy himself with his attack, he attacks Jell with a small impact attack to aim to bring him down.

Jell who was chased with a laser beam and an explosive cannon picked up a complicated movement pattern, he spun, jumped, turned around, and stopped suddenly.

The attack directed at no one succeeds in hitting it, instead it looks like Jell is the one who aims to finish off all the ammunition belonging to Scorpio.

But just by dodging Scorpio's attacks can't change anything, Jell now aims to destroy his weapon. Approaching one of the weapons, with a sword he slashed an explosive cannon.

One by one and his cannons are destroyed, Scorpio who sees his condition in a dangerous condition trying to move his body, Scorpio suddenly tilts his body.

Not only did it get there, with that extreme tilt suddenly one of the spots on Scorpio's body opened up. And of course what came out of it was a cannon, it appeared and locked its attack on the hanging Jell.

“Oi oi oi, you're kidding no.”

The attack that should have made Jell fall and get some injuries, now the cannon was suddenly smashed into pieces.

“Thanks, Mai!”

Of course who else if not Mai who destroyed it. Mai with a considerable distance she could see all the situations that Jell was facing, and saw the cornered Jell herself coming to her aid.

Shouting her name, Mai made a satisfied face. He was happy to be able to help, after all this was Jell's order to tell him to help.

And if you look carefully, next to Mai there is one more person, he Rin.

Because they are focused and busy dealing with minions they both forget that Rin should help them.

But how else, Rin lagged far behind at a different pace.

(Finally I can catch up with them.)

Rin, who had just arrived at Mai's place, looked away and asked where Jell was.

To her question, Mai answered her in a flat voice pointing at Jell who was hanging on Scorpio's body.

“B-how can it be?!”

Of course for her to see the current sight of Jell would definitely be surprised, but Mai's attitude when pointing at Jell was too relaxed to the point that Mai didn't seem to worry about her at all.

“But, why?”

“Hm?”

“Why aren't you there too?”

“Hmm, how to say it, this is an order? Or maybe a role? I'm here, and Jell's there. That's it.”

Hearing her answer made Rin a little sad, she could clearly see the difference with Mai. Jell and Mai trusted each other, and their trust was so strong that she never felt such trust.

(Jell protects Mai, and Mai protects Jell. Can I get a place like that too.)

With her gloomy face, she stood behind Mai and watched the battle from there.

...

Returning to Jell, the current Scorpio still seems unwilling to turn his body around, knowing that Jell intends to climb onto one of his legs.

Jumping in a dazzling way, Jell was like he was playing parkour, but the difference was that he was currently betting his life.

Jumping onto one of Scorpio's legs, Jell will deliver an attack with great power to destroy it.

“Kh, damn.”

But it does not seem that easy, when Jell will immediately release his skill suddenly Scorpio moves to improve his body position. And not only did he improve his position he also intended to walk from his current place.

Seeing that sudden movement, making Jell slightly off balance, by sticking the sword into Scorpio's leg, Jell regained her footing.

“Damn it, really troublesome.”

Seen also from the bottom, Rin who saw Jell who almost fell and was crushed, Rin was frightened and shouted.

“Awas!”

“Ap-why suddenly scream? Make a surprise.”

But in contrast to the hysterical Rin, Mai looks very relaxed to see Jell who is in a dangerous situation.

Rin who saw him could not believe what he did Mai, himself like he did not care about the safety of his partner.

Enraged by Mai's attitude, Rin shouted and looked at Mai with an angry face. He did not understand why he could still put on such a calm face.

He knows that Jell and Mai trust each other, but if the situation is already like this it is no wonder that Rin is angry with him.

But the answer given by Mai can make Rin speechless, a very simple answer but has a very strong meaning. Putting on her usual face she answered the angry Rin.

“Jell is strong, he will not die in a place like this.”

Rin was silent and clutched firmly in his hand, whether he was angry, sad, or upset, Rin also did not know.

What he feels is not what he used to feel, he wants to be able to gain such trust as well, he wants to be able to believe like that. Rin is currently very envious of Mai.

“Yes, if you want me to help Jell, then I can give you one shot.”

“Eh.”

As she fell into a sense of her irishness, she was startled by Mai's words. Take position, lock the direction of the target and wait for the right time to shoot. Mai is currently in a very serious condition.

(It is impossible, just by using a weak weapon like this, it will not be possible to give a scratch to Scorpio.)

Not waiting long, the right time appears when Scorpio moves. By locking on to her target Mai shot.

The skill that Mai uses in his shot is Skill “Solo Shoot” skill is, shooting a single bullet that has speed and impact power that is many times that of ordinary bullets.

“Because of you.”

The sound of gunfire was heard, when the bullet would be shot there were three magic circles that were in the crossfire.

The bullet sped at a very fast speed even the eye could not keep up with its speed, leading to one of Scorpio's legs, the bullet precisely hitting the joint part of his leg.

Receiving an attack from Mai, Scorpio's legs instantly disintegrate and escape from her body. There was a slight explosion from the attack he received, getting such a surprise attack must have taken Scorpio by surprise.

Not only Scorpio, but Rin who was beside him was also surprised to see Mai's attack capable of crushing Scorpio's legs with one shot.

He could not believe it, the “Solo Shoot” skill was a skill with a level of [A] and by looking at that fact, it was clear Rin did not easily believe what he saw just now.

(It's impossible. No, that's impossible. With just a single strike he was able to crush a single leg. What if you shoot six bullets, so Scorpio can be defeated even if only alone.)

Rin who saw his attack and showed an expression of disbelief, turned her face towards Mai.

He had never seen or heard that a skill with difficulty ‘A’ could have a devastating effect.

That was equivalent to the difficulty skill [S].

The impact of Mai's surprise attack not only affects Scorpio, but also Jell.

Jell was shocked when he saw one of Scorpio's legs suddenly shattered, which resulted in Scorpio suddenly falling silent.

(Fuck Mai, who told him to attack. I'll beat him up later.)

And instead of being happy that she had gotten help from Mai, Jell looked so upset that she was a. He did not tell Mai to carry out the attack, but he was on his own accord.

Jell was actually not entirely angry, but the reason for her anger was Mai who was too careless. Jell was able to attack Scorpio with just one strike, so Jell didn't have to go to great lengths to climb and destroy weapons and cannons.

The thing that is feared by him is, if only there are parts of the body Scorpio that have an explosive function if hit by an attack.

This he took from his experience while in BOA when he fought the enemy Cyborg who has a passive skill (explode if you get a fatal attack).

And of course for Jell who didn't know that from the start, he died silly just by a suicide blast from an enemy of Cyborg.

And that applies here too. But, other than checking things out, Jell actually wanted to check something else.

The second wave battle took quite a long time, compared to the first wave which was only 1 hour long, the second wave was now almost 2 hours.

...

Jell still finds it difficult to find her second destination, the first goal of ensuring the absence of suicide explosives is completed with Mai's help. So at this moment his second goal would be to do immediately.

“It looks like we've been playing for quite a while, let's finish this.”

Just as he skimmed through all parts of Scorpio, Jell got no access to go inside, and ended up with a very satisfying result, he got what he was looking for.

Having gotten what he was looking for, Jell decided to end it now.

Jell with his sword in hand, advanced towards Scorpio's head.

Standing in front of him Jell could clearly see the current state of the battle, victory was on their side.

The troops had retreated, the minions had been wiped out and with orders from Mai, they retreated from the battle.

Realizing his existence, Scorpio by moving his head he throws Jell into the sky.

Of course to him he was shocked when he received such an attitude, Jell floated in the air and flew.

“Sorry, but we end it here.”

As against the law of gravity the falling speed of the jell is slightly weakened. Still above Jell pulled out his sword, holding it horizontally to the front, Jell took out a skill.

“Sword Comet!”

Skill in shout by Jell, skill is a skill with difficulty [S] “Sword Comet” issued by Jell.

Not to be outdone, Scorpio has been preparing himself since, with his red eyes Scorpio laser-picking at the flying Jell.

Jell throws his sword at Scorpio, and Scorpio, who is also ready with his laser shot, shoots a laser from his mechanical eye.

The collision occurred between the two attacks, creating an incredible sound of ambush and a shockwave that flew everything around them.

The collision of the two skills was enormous, in which everyone who participated in the war and the civilians who were watching could clearly see the second attack.

A very strong collision between the two and does not take long, the winner has been determined.

Scorpio's laser slowly begins to weaken and Jell's skill attack still hits him.

Scorpio's laser is no longer able to withstand it, the laser is lost to the sword Jell who is still in active skill condition.

Jell's sword is thrown towards Scorpio's head, with its impact and barrier destroyed, so Jell's attack hits Scorpio's head with a crushing attack.

The Scorpio who received the attack was unable to do much, his sword stuck out and after the duration of the skill depleted Jell's sword gave a great explosion.

The explosion gave off a much larger shockwave than before, leaving people shocked by the sudden surge.

That way, Scorpio falls with all the systems in it dead. In the absence of any energy left, the Scorpio falls to the ground giving a loud noise and dust that rises and flies.

The reactions of those who saw him were simply stunned staring at the fallen Scorpio. They did not believe that they could fight against the calamity that had terrorized this world for hundreds of years.

Shouts and excitement could not be held in their hearts, simultaneously they shouted with pleasure that filled the atmosphere.

Shouts and cries rang out, those bound from despair, were now free like birds coming out of cages.

Not an exception as well for Marina, she was currently holding back her tears because of the victory they had obtained.

So did Adolf and his subordinates, the guild staff, the adventurers, and the witches cry out happily.

As with everyone, Rin also fell silent at the sight that Jell gave as he promised. Than the others, he was the most crybaby when crying.

“Hisk... Successfully, we succeeded. Hisk...”

But unlike most people, Mai did not cry at all when they won. He was happy, but he wasn't at his side to express his feelings.

Instead of crying, Mai is seen walking towards the dust where Scorpio's corpse is located. Seeing Mai, Rin also followed her from the later.

“Wait. Hisk...”

The two run towards the body Scorpio is in, not to confirm his death, but to meet the man who killed him, Jell.

“Jell! Where are you?”

His cries could be heard, but the rising dust was troublesome, they had trouble seeing the road. But the answer was given, Jell casually shouted.

“I'm here.”

Heading towards the voice, clearly visible, was standing in front of Scorpio's head, it was Jell.

Running towards her, Mai spread her arms intending to hug Jell, but rejection was received.

Seemed like Jell was holding something in her right hand, Rin who realized trying to ask her, it seems that Mai just realized it.

Jell intended to show it, but it stopped doing something.

“That's him.”

“That's the guy who beat Scorpio by himself.”

The noise came from behind them, the dust had started to come down and from across there was a lot of people heading towards them. Everyone came to see Jell and the two of them.

Arriving there without warning, Jell was picked up and embraced in a crowd of people. They raised above them, with great joy could be seen they were very grateful to him.

That way, the threat from Scorpio is successfully stopped.
