A Core Ship From The Start-Chapter 1617 - 1081 Steel Beast

Two hours have passed since the battle began.

The magic cast by Naruse Mio indeed successfully kept the Rogge Camp from being overrun by the Demon Army, but the situation has only slightly improved. Although the deep chasms and spikes have repeatedly blocked the attacks of the Demon Army, it has not been able to turn the tide.

After all, the difference in numbers is too great.

The entire Rogge Camp, including the mercenaries, is less than a hundred people, while the demons attacking the camp number in the thousands. Besides the Fallen Demons and Zombies, and low-level demons like the Skeleton Soldiers that Tower City Kitten and Naruse Mio had encountered before, even Demon Beasts are mixed among them!

And among them, the greatest threat to the camp is......

"Boom!"

A violent crashing sound echoed, shaking the entire city wall. Looking up, one could see outside the wall, gigantic monsters that resembled overinflated gorillas, forcefully ramming against the wall. These are creatures native to the wilderness, usually calm and rarely conflicting with humans. However, they have now been utterly corrupted by evil forces, turning into frenzied and furious terrifying monsters.

Their strong and tall bodies, combined with their powerful limbs, naturally make them the greatest threat to the camp at the moment.

Kasha drew her bow and aimed at one of them, then released the string with her right hand. A series of arrows flew out, shooting directly into the eyes of the beast attacking the city wall, penetrating its skull. It was only at this moment that the gigantic beast, which had been relentlessly pounding the wall in anger, let out a wailing cry before collapsing to the ground.

But this did not allow the mercenary captain to relax. She once again reached for the arrows in her quiver and aimed at her next target.

Just then, suddenly, a scream from the other side rang out!

"Lord Kasha!"

"What happened?!"

Hearing the cry, Kasha’s heart tightened, and she urgently shot another giant beast before quickly turning around, leaping nimbly to the other side of the city wall in a few bounds. There, Kasha witnessed a sight that left her heart in shock—before her, a gigantic beast even larger than the others, with flames blazing all over its body, was striding toward the Rogge Camp’s wall.

Its eyes glowed, its mouth spouting sparks, leaving a trail of blazing flames in its wake! freёnovelkiss.com

"Damn! It’s a Mutated Behemoth!"

Seeing the gigantic beast charging toward the city wall like an out-of-control truck, Kasha’s expression changed drastically. A Mutated Behemoth is a special kind of mutant. Since evil corrupted this wilderness, ordinary beasts occasionally gain powers similar to demons, capable of controlling elemental forces. Clearly, this gigantic beast is also a mutation!

"We absolutely cannot let it break in!"

Shouting, Kasha ordered her fellow sisters to join her in drawing out their ice arrows, aiming at the hulking target before them.

"Release the arrows!!"

With Kasha’s command, dozens of ice arrows shot out, striking the flaming Mutated Behemoth. Yet, before the ferocious flames, the ice arrows, powerful enough to freeze a demon solid, proved utterly ineffective, not even slowing the beast’s advance!

"This is bad!"

Seeing the attack fail, Kasha was startled. Just at that moment, a petite figure suddenly leaped from the wall. It was Tower City Kitten, wearing power armor, raising her war hammer high, and slamming it down on the Mutated Behemoth!

"Thud!!!"

A heavy impact rang out as Tower City Kitten’s hammer slammed into the Mutated Behemoth’s forehead, finally halting its assault on the wall. Both recoiled, taking several steps back. Then, Tower City Kitten landed on the ground and immediately pressed forward, charging toward the Mutated Behemoth again!

"Roar!!!"

The Mutated Behemoth, reeling from the fierce blow delivered by the kitten, let out a painful howl. It clenched its fists tightly, swinging them forcefully down on Tower City Kitten. The flames on its body also erupted, blasting toward the enemy before it. However, facing the scorching flames, Tower City Kitten neither dodged nor flinched, charging straight through—the searing flames, capable of melting the earth, merely brushed past the surface of the power armor she wore. Meanwhile, Tower City Kitten had already sprinted beneath the Mutated Behemoth, raising her war hammer, and smashing it down between the giant beast’s legs!

"Roar———!!"

Evidently, even a Mutated Behemoth cannot endure such pain. It let out a heart-wrenching scream and then collapsed to the ground, no longer moving.

Seeing this, many on the wall felt a chill run down their spines.

"Phew........."

Seeing that Tower City Kitten was safe, Naruse Mio, standing on the city wall, also breathed a sigh of relief. She wanted to join the battle too, but was stopped by Kasha. As the only mage capable of quickly erecting walls, Kasha demanded that Naruse Mio hold out until the end, responsible for repairing the camp’s defense, instead of wasting her magic power on those demonic minions.

With the Mutated Behemoth down, the assault from the Demon Army temporarily eased—of course, this is only relative. Though the gigantic beasts threatening the wall were gone, the Fallen Demons still screeched and screamed, climbing up the walls like large geckos. And the mercenary warriors on the wall wielded their weapons, slaying those demons one by one as they climbed.
