Information: A giant humanoid combat machine resembling a tiller.

"My God!" Wu Qiu's mouth dropped open. Three level 40 relic heavy machines, no less! What does that even mean?

If it weren't for Klee and Frostleaf blocking their way, those three relic heavy machines could have easily razed Tree City to the ground. Moreover, it was fortunate that Wu Qiu and the others arrived; otherwise, with Frostleaf alone facing the Frost Giant King and the Hilichurl Frost Armor King, plus the three relic heavy machines, the likelihood of Tree City being destroyed in the end would have been extremely high.

Not far from the battlefield, the snow giants stopped and put down their platforms. They also retreated a considerable distance, as if they were afraid of something.

The commotion over there naturally caught Shuanglin's attention, and when she saw the unusually large relic machine, she understood everything.

It seems that the Frost Giant King and his forces came with the determination to completely destroy Tree City, and they have made thorough preparations.

These relic mechs have been dormant for years, but once awakened, they will indiscriminately attack everything in their vicinity. The Frost Giant King had his people go to great lengths to move these relic mechs here, undoubtedly intending to concentrate their fire here and use the power of the relic mechs to destroy Tree City.

"No, we absolutely cannot allow these relic-powered machines to be activated here!"

With that, Shuanglin shook off the Frost Giant King and rushed towards the Ruins Heavy Machine. As long as she could get the Ruins Heavy Machine away from here, she wouldn't be afraid even if it was activated.

However, the Frost Giant King clearly wouldn't let Shuanglin succeed. As he stood up to block her, the Frost Giant King also let out a furious roar at the heavy machinery in the ruins.

This sound was enough to shake the entire snow-capped mountain. And the relic's heavy machine gun was activated with this sound.

The parts on his body began to rotate, emitting mechanical sounds, and the energy core at the center slowly lit up. His body, which had been sitting, slowly stood up.

Their movements were stiff, each strike seemingly capable of tearing their bodies apart. Yet, at the same time, each strike was incredibly powerful.

It was already enormous when it was sitting, and when it stood up, it was at least fifteen meters tall, standing there like three iron towers.

The most critical thing is that the rotating energy core at the center is constantly increasing in power, and they immediately focused their attention on the most conspicuous, largest, and most biologically abundant tree city.

Then, they moved. They took a step, each step causing a cataclysmic upheaval. Although only level 40, their destructive power far surpassed that of ordinary level 40 monsters.

There's no other reason; it's just big. Although it looks bulky, every punch feels like a falling meteor, and every kick feels like an earthquake.

Boom!! Boom!! Boom!!

Deep, resounding footsteps echoed as three ancient heavy machines approached Tree City. Shuanglin, her face finally showing signs of anxiety.

If it's about dealing with her, then Shuanglin wouldn't be afraid of anything. But if it's something that threatens their race, Shuanglin can't remain completely calm.

At this moment, she was thinking of shaking off the Frost Giant King and stopping the three relic heavy machines. However, the Frost Giant King switched from offense to defense, fighting while holding back Shuanglin, neither attacking nor letting her go.

As for Klee, it's impossible for her to stop it now, so she can't help at all.

"It's all over! It's all doomed! What do we do? What are we going to do? Help! Help! Is anyone there...?"

Wu Qiu was extremely anxious, scratching his head as if he were about to die. But he quickly came to his senses.

"Wait a minute! Aren't I the main character? This plot is perfect for me to show off."

Thinking about it, Wu Qiu touched his right arm. "I understand now. This is how the plot should be. We can't just gain power and then continue to slack off and be lazy, can we?"

"But I don't seem to have the Wings of Wind..."

Wu Qiu realized a serious problem: he didn't have the Wings of Wind! How was he going to get there? He couldn't just wait for the Ruins Heavy Machine to arrive at the entrance, could he?

Just as Wu Qiu was at a loss, a figure suddenly appeared directly in front of the relic's heavy machine. At first, Wu Qiu only saw a yellow light, but when he looked again, the person had already landed.

Boom! The sound wasn't very loud, and it was negligible compared to the footsteps of the relic's heavy machine gun.

However, Wu Qiu's eyes lit up at that moment. Because after the snow, stirred up by the landing, dissipated, Wu Qiu saw a person.

Noelle!

Yes, it was Noelle. She stood there, facing the three approaching steel behemoths. The dust she held gleamed in her hand. Noelle was like a small boat facing a storm, insignificant, yet she gave Wu Qiu a sense of security.

The relic's heavy machine shook the surrounding air with every step, causing Noelle's hair to flutter and her clothes to rustle.

However, her eyes were resolute, and you could not sense any fear in them. In the midst of the storm, Noelle slowly raised the sealed dust to her face, assuming a fighting stance.

"Leave this to me."

Chapter 96: A Challenge Beyond One's Level, the Relic Heavy Machine

The scene before him reminded Wu Qiu of a similar one. It was very similar; it was a photo he had seen online.

On the wasteland, Noelle, wielding the tattered Greatsword of Favonius, faced two one-eyed monsters and a Ruins Hunter emerging from the clouds.

The scene is filled with a wasteland and post-apocalyptic atmosphere, and Noelle in it is not as gentle as she is in the game.

It's a very eerie image; the Ruin Guard and Ruin Hunter give off a sense of oppression. Yet, this very image has captured the hearts of countless people.

So, Noelle can be this handsome. And now, Wu Qiu truly witnessed this scene.

Although the opponents and locations were slightly different, Noelle was still Noelle, very similar to the one in the picture, which made Wu Qiu admire her even more.

With the greatsword held upright before her chest, Noelle began to radiate a yellow light. It grew brighter and brighter, until finally a golden beam shot straight into the sky, as if about to burst forth from the heavens.

Noelle, following her previous encounter with the Hilichurl Geohelmet, once again activated her Gundam mode. The seal in her hand was enveloped in Geo element, becoming enormous and heavy.

Noelle was now clad in a set of transparent yellow armor. This was Noelle's strongest form, "Dust Sweeping".

This is the name Noelle came up with, and Wu Qiu felt it didn't suit the skill at all. But then he thought about Noelle's ultimate ability in the game, which was called "Big Cleanup," and that made it much more balanced.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

The relic-powered heavy machines were getting closer; they were lifeless, only capable of attacking anything that approached. And Noelle's earlier commotion wasn't just for show; after all, she wasn't Wu Qiu…

The beam of light had successfully drawn the attention of the Relic Heavy Machines. They then slightly changed direction and headed towards Noelle.

Approaching, stepping up, landing, BOOM!!!

The earth cracked open, and a substantial shockwave spread outwards, blowing away all the trees within a radius of 100 meters.

Noelle was among them. However, she was not injured. She was thrown backward for dozens of meters in the air before landing and sliding for five or six meters to regain her balance.

Then, Noelle turned and ran. She wanted to lure away the three ruins' guards so that Tree City would be safe and she wouldn't have to fight the ruins' heavy machinery head-on.

However, watching Noel disappear into the distance, the Relic Heavy Machine did not continue to pursue. Instead, the energy core at its center suddenly lit up, and streams of energy converged.

then……

Boom! Boom! Boom! Three energy projectiles, as powerful as cannons, hurtled towards Noelle. Noelle hadn't expected this at all. She turned to steady herself and swung her greatsword, imbued with rock element, horizontally.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Three explosions rang out, and Noelle was engulfed in flames. When the light faded, Noelle reappeared, still unharmed.

"Noelle! Watch out!"

Suddenly, she seemed to hear something, turned her head and saw Wu Qiu shouting at the top of her lungs.

On the other side, Noelle saw that the two ancient heavy machines had crossed their arms in front of the energy core, where streams of scorching energy were gathering.

Before Noelle could react, the Ruins Heavy Machine had already charged up. Two laser beams shot towards him at a speed that Wu Qiu could no longer detect with the naked eye.

In Wu Qiu's eyes, all he saw was a rising mushroom cloud and sparks exploding in the sky.

This attack completely shocked Wu Qiu. However, compared to this, Wu Qiu was more worried about Noelle.

"The attack was too fast. How is Noel? Will he...?"

Thinking of this, Wu Qiu felt a sharp pain in his heart. The gentle face in his mind gradually faded away, as if Noelle were truly dead.

"Damn it!"

Anger overwhelmed Wu Qiu's reason at that moment. Without saying a word, he stepped onto the railing and jumped down.

In mid-air, a makeshift ski appeared beneath Wu Qiu's feet. Immediately afterwards, an ice track materialized out of thin air and appeared beneath Wu Qiu's feet.

Wu Qiu had no idea how he did it. He only felt a crazy stinging pain in his right arm. Clearly, he hadn't recovered yet, and doing this was obviously dangerous.

But could Wu Qiu care about all that? No. Paddling along the ice track, Wu Qiu quickly arrived near the ruins' heavy machine gun.

He raised his hand, and a huge brick appeared out of thin air, slamming down on the face of the Jurassic Heavy Machine.

With a loud crash, the brick shattered into fragments, but the relic's heavy machine didn't even tremble.

"I don't believe it anymore!"

With a roar, Wu Qiu didn't care what it was anymore, and huge chunks of ice slammed towards the relic's heavy machine. As big as it could be, as many as it could be, Wu Qiu didn't care about that at this moment.

Despite the numerous attacks, the Jurchen Heavy Machine only suffered minor dents and holes, causing absolutely no damage. In fact, the Jurchen Heavy Machine turned its head in response to Wu Qiu's attack.

They certainly wouldn't laugh at Wu Qiu's overestimation of his abilities; they simply lifted their feet and stepped forward. Wu Qiu, on the other hand, raised both hands, and a huge ice spike rose from the ground, piercing towards the abdomen of the relic's heavy machine.

The spike hit, but it was useless; the Relic Heavy Machine kicked it to pieces. For Wu Qiu at level 15 to fight a level 40 Relic Heavy Machine was simply a pipe dream; his attack wouldn't even scratch the surface.

"ha!!!!!!"

Just then, a roar suddenly rang out. Wu Qiu then saw a person running through the almost abandoned forest, finally leaping up and landing behind the relic heavy machine.

It was Noelle; she was injured, blood streaming down her forehead. But she clearly had no intention of resting or backing down, and despite the blood flowing, she charged forward.

Noelle's sword was now five or six meters long, and she swung it around behind the relic's heavy machine before slashing down.

Unlike Wu Qiu's attack, which felt like a tickle, Noelle's attack caused the Ruins Heavy Machine to burst into flames on its entire back, and a huge wound appeared out of nowhere.

Clang! Clang! Two more sword strikes, and the heavy machine from the ruins finally staggered forward two steps, looking as if it was about to fall to the ground.

But in the end, she managed to regain her footing. Noelle was also unable to launch any further attacks.

A massive fist came crashing down on her. Noelle dodged it with a swift mid-air maneuver, but another relic heavy machine struck with both hands.

With a loud thud, the air seemed to tremble. Noelle was struck by this blow and was completely engulfed by those palms.

Noelle!

Wu Qiu shouted worriedly, but soon discovered that the giant machine's hands were not closed. He could vaguely see Noel's arms straining as he tried to break free.

Seeing this, Wu Qiu also decided to fight desperately. He condensed an ice cone in the void, gathered all the cold air at the tip of the ice cone, and then threw it towards the energy core in the eyes.

In the game, that is the weak point of the Ruin Guard, Ruin Hunter, or Ruin Heavy Machine. If you can disrupt it, Noelle can be saved.

Wu Qiu truly hoped that his attack would be effective. Fortunately, his gamble paid off; when the ice spike struck the core, the relic's heavy machine visibly froze.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Noelle forcefully swept away the giant machine's hands, then raised her greatsword and slashed at the giant machine.

Noelle used all her strength in this attack, and the Ruins Heavy Machine was forced to take three steps back before sitting down on the ground.

Noelle was also thrown back by this force, and after landing, she slid for a long time before finally arriving at Wu Qiu's side.

"Hey, Noelle, are you alright?"

Noelle isn't in good shape right now. After all, Noelle is level 30, while each of those three relic heavy machines is level 40. This can't just be described as a challenge beyond her level.

Noelle was panting heavily, blood from her forehead staining her cheek and smooth neck. She seemed about to collapse, but she mustered her strength and shook her head. "I'm fine, but these machines are lifeless. If we don't find their weakness, I'm afraid..."

"Weakness?" Wu Qiu suddenly realized, and whispered in Noel's ear, "So, the weakness of the Ruins Heavy Machine..."

After listening, Noelle was stunned for a moment, then she remembered that Wu Qiu's attack had been effective against the Ruins Heavy Machine, and Noelle understood.
