The three of them stood in the wide room as the mechanical giant in front of them slowly stood up, emitting a deafening mechanical roar. The giant's body was made of a large number of ancient, rugged metal gears and runes intertwined together, emitting a powerful and ancient energy.
Ian immediately raised his alertness and quickly analyzed his opponent, "Be careful, this guy is at least Astral class as well!"
Raymond immediately changed his face at his words and took a slight step backward, but quickly forced himself to calm down, "So what if it's Astral level, it's just a pile of scrap metal!" Before his words fell, the mechanical giant swung its huge fist and rushed towards them.
The giant's fist brought up strong wind pressure, and the air made a piercing shattering sound. Ian and Bauer quickly dodged out of the way, and Ramon also woefully avoided it, but his eyes clearly showed panic and retreat.
Bauer, who was always silent, quickly dodged the attack and then quickly gathered energy in his hands and struck at the mechanical giant, but his attack felt like he was tickling the giant.
The mechanical giant swung its arm again, this time with more speed and strength. Ian quickly used the power of thunder to briefly hinder the mechanical giant's movements, "Be careful, this giant may move slightly slowly, but it has great strength and a very sturdy defense, it may be difficult for our attacks to be effective!"
Bauer nodded his head in understanding and continued to dodge cautiously, sending out some attacks every now and then, but none of them managed to cause any damage.
"You two do it instead!" Ramon finally couldn't hold back and roared angrily, "Are you waiting for me to settle this alone?"
With that, Raymond gathered his energy and unleashed Gravity Increase, wanting to slow down the Mechanical Giant's movements while striking a hard blow at the Mechanical Giant. However, the mechanical giant just flicked its arm and broke the gravity's restriction, and Lei Meng's attack didn't even leave a trace on the giant's hard metal body, instead making the giant's attention completely lock onto him.
"Damn!" Ramon panicked and dodged again, only to almost get hit by the giant because he was too flustered.
Ian and Bauer both joined the fight as well, with all kinds of energies intertwined, the mechanical giant then relied on its own defenses for the most primitive melee attacks. What made the three feel desperate was that the mechanical giant's attack speed was gradually increasing, and dodging was becoming more and more difficult.
Ramon was the first to be hit, flew out with a miserable scream, spitting out a mouthful of blood after landing, Bauer was right behind him, unable to dodge, and was smashed by the mechanical giant's fists, both of his arms hung down limply, obviously broken.
Ian was still able to rely on sensory enhancement, barely dodging, the mechanical giant in front of him seemed to be unbeatable.
Finally, Ian was still caught by the mechanical giant break, a punch hit, hit the wall slowly sliding down, even though Ian has opened the rhino armor defense in advance, still feel the whole body severe pain, as if the whole body's bones are cracked.
Bauer on the other side, although his arms can not be used, still relying on willpower rushed up, energy wrapped in the legs, a whip kick to the mechanical giant, of course such an attack can not hurt the mechanical giant, but instead, was grabbed by the legs and thrown out, fell heavily on the ground.
Ian gradually realized a detail, "Strange, this mechanical giant obviously possesses the strength to easily kill us, but the attack was never fatal, and the exit behind us was never closed, as if it let us escape at any time."
A flash of light flashed in his mind, "Could it be that what this area is testing is our determination?" Then, thoughtfully, he glanced at Bauer, "This guy should have found out as well, otherwise he wouldn't have planned to show his abilities in the face of such a strong enemy. "
Raymond, however, didn't pay the slightest attention to these details, and backed up with a face full of panic, "No, this guy is too strong, we don't have a chance of winning at all, it's better to retreat!"
"You guy, do you just know how to run away?" Bauer coldly glanced at Lei Meng, his tone was filled with undisguised contempt.
Ramon's face flushed red, but he was speechless and could only gasp angrily.
Ian made a quick decision and whispered, "Ramon, you can back out if you want, but Bauer and I will never back out."
Ramon froze, the expression on his face kept changing, his mouth didn't say anything, but his heart turned toward, "If you guys want to die, I won't accompany you!" At this time, Raymond had already decided to escape from here, he was waiting for Ian and Bauer to stall the mechanical giant again, he wasn't sure if the mechanical giant would chase after him if he escaped directly.
Both Ian and Bauer laboriously stood up and faced the mechanical giant, once again launching a new round of attacks.
The mechanical giant was still powerful, and its attacks became more and more violent, the airflow brought up by its fists could almost easily destroy the solid stone walls around the room. The form of the two became even more dangerous, and the injuries they received also became more and more severe. Nonetheless, each attack was controlled just right, never really causing them any fatal damage.
Ian inwardly became more certain of his suspicions, "It's true, this mechanical giant isn't meant to destroy us at all, but rather to make us face our fears head on and prove our resolve."
However, the mechanical giant's attack was fierce beyond imagination, and the two were quickly beaten to death. Bauer lay on the ground, breathing heavily, his consciousness already blurred, Ian leaned weakly against the wall, and Ramon had crept closer to the door.
The mechanical giant stopped its attack and said to Ian, who was still conscious, "With strength like yours, you don't deserve to enter the next area, retreat now and you can save a life."
Ian responded with a cold smile, "The word give up will not appear in my life, and I will not retreat in my pursuit of my ideals! "The mechanical giant's icy voice rang out, "Then you can go to hell! "After saying that, his arm changed into a long sword and stabbed towards Ian with unrivaled might.
Ian gathered all his energy, ''Even if I die, I will bite off a piece of your flesh! Battle technique - Thunder Light Fist! "
The fist condensed by the power of thunder was pierced the moment it made contact with the longsword, Ian's attack was useless and Ian could only watch as the longsword came at him.
