Chapter 1135 – What Is Union Atlasia!

000

The pure white armor ‘Atlasia’ was confronting the ‘Disaster Monster Tiamat’, a gigantic beast said to devour heaven and earth.

Eventually, even shaking off the stumbling from before, he moved his legs and slowly approached Tiamat.

“Let’s go, Fleur. First, let’s approach him! Instead, refrain from attacking the body, because there are still others inside.”

＂Yes, yes…!＂

Although it was a bit of an order, Fleur also responded with a trembling voice as she leaned forward and held the lever tightly.

It is called a lever, but as Galatea said, this weapon did not need to be controlled directly by hand, but rather, it was a type of weapon that moved in accordance with the idea of ​​how Atlasia should move.

The lever seemed to be nothing more than a safety device to stabilize his body, which shook whenever his armor moved.

＇Pfft… If we don’t defeat it quickly…!’

Laplace feels pain as if his intestines are twisted.

In any case, as he sees the armor approaching him, he who controls the Tia Mat will also move his large body.

He pulled out his arm that was stuck in the ground and swung it in front of him.

The arm that is like a huge pillar supporting the ceiling of the temple beam.

However, Cleon, who saw this, decided to catch it in reverse and gave an order to Atlasia.

＂The sword!＂

[Huh! Atlasia Sword!]

When Cleon shouted that, Galatea shouted along, and the part on Atlasia’s back where she could wear the sword opened with a ‘clunk’.

The sword automatically protruded from the back and was held in Atlasia’s hand.

When the sword, which is bigger than any sword Cleon has ever wielded, is illuminated by a brilliant light.

Atlasia would naturally hold the sword in a warrior-like posture and bring it to the front.

And Cleon tried to use that sword to block Tiamat’s fist.

Two huge weapons collide.

Kaang! The sound rang out, and Tiamat’s front legs were thrown back.

And when Cleon saw this, he thought he had won, and tried to pierce the guy’s head with his sword.

＂Haaa!＂

With a cheer, Cleon holds the control stick tightly and leans his body forward.

Then, Atlasia stepped forward and stretched out both her hands at the same time.

With the great sword in his hand.

Phew!

＂… Huh?＂

However, what Cleon saw was a completely different type of attack than what he expected.

No, the pose was great, but the sword Atlasia was holding in her hand was strange.

[That… Cleon. Sorry.]

And, for some reason, Galatea apologizes.

[The Atlasia Sword broke when it collided with her fist a moment ago…]

＂What, what!?＂

Atlasia Sword made of the same special alloy as Atlasia.

However, despite frequent excessive magical output and constant contact with the corrosive blood of the monsters of the time, it was not managed properly.

I became angry at something that had been neglected for a long time, so I just snapped and broke it.

Cleon was so embarrassed that he stopped thinking for a moment.

Meanwhile, Tiamat, which has returned its front leg that was thrown back to its original position, attacks.

＂Time, avoidance…!＂

However, a problem arose there.

Cleon thought that Atlasia would throw away the broken sword handle and catch the arm without a problem, but Fleur did not.

As someone who has never fought in person, it was inevitable that she had a strong understanding that an enemy attack = something that had to be avoided.

Making a ‘kikigeek’ sound.

Her upper body was stretched forward with her hands open to receive the enemy’s attack.

Conversely, the lower body moved sideways to avoid Tiamat’s huge arms.

The balance of posture became abnormal.

And-

＇Kwaang!＇

A sound rang out, and Tiamat’s huge fist landed on Atlasia’s staggering body.

＂Kuh…!＂

＂Wow…!!＂

No matter how much Atlassia was a weapon of the primordial world, considering the mass of the opponent, the destructive power of that fist was difficult for even Atlasia to withstand.

The aircraft shakes, and the shock flows through the internal armor.

The cockpit where the two people were sitting was also not safe, and something that looked like a part fell from above their heads, or something seemed to be broken near the control stick under their feet, and sparks flew out.

[Wow, that’s incredible power! The outer armor is dented!]

Since Galatea is no different from Atlasia now, she will show off the damaged part of her armor while breaking out in a cold sweat.

＂S-sorry…!＂

Fleur apologized to Cleon, probably because she thought it was her fault, but Cleon shook his head.

“No…! My fault for not consulting in advance. Is there anything more injured than that?”

“Yes, yes…! It’s okay!”

Should I say that I am fortunate to have learned that, even with Atlassia’s gloves, it is difficult to withstand being hit by such a huge fist?

“Good. Then again…!”

While thinking like that, Cleon wipes his sweaty forehead and tries to move Atlasia with his thoughts once again –

“It’s surprisingly dull…!”

Laplace is happy that his attack was successful and is about to inflict an additional hit on Atlasia.

Even Laplace never thought that the day would come when he would have to personally move this giant to deal with the enemy.

Anyway, I would have thought that I could just push on like this.

Gurgling…!!

Until, once again, a stomachache that felt like it was constricting his intestines hit him, and the strength in his arms weakened a little.

＂!@$!$%!%＂

A scream came out of Tiamat’s mouth, and thanks to the pain, the additional blows she was swinging were slightly delayed.

And, Cleon would not have missed that opportunity.

“This time!”

When a voice echoing outside comes out from the cockpit, which is still intact under the dented armor.

Boom!

As a sound was heard, Atlasia used both hands this time to grab the huge and heavy front leg of Tiamat.

Geek!! While making a noise, a scream-like sound of gears was heard from Atlasia’s arm.

Eventually, Tiamat’s front legs stop.

＂It’s worth it…!＂

Cleon spoke like that and once again moved Atlasia.

I was able to successfully block Tiamat’s front leg, even if just for a moment, but if I stayed still.

There was a high possibility that Tiamat would try to crush her by putting her weight on her, and if that happened, Atlasia would become as thin as a dumpling skin.

So, holding on is always to prevent an attack.

I was trying to go straight to the counter-

“Fleur! “Put her knees-up!”

＂Is it is like this?＂

Based on Cleon’s words, Fleur must have thought of a pose where she stands on one leg.

Although Cleon’s idea was to just kick Tiamat’s chin with his knee, the result was a similar posture.

This time, it doesn’t result in a half-baked result like the one between evasion and blocking from earlier.

Even though the momentum was a little weak, Atlasia’s sharp and hard knee stuck into the joint of Tiamat’s front leg, which was still stretched out, as the knee was kicked up brilliantly.

A painful scream came from Tia Mat’s mouth, and she had no choice but to distance herself.

Cleon, who sensed that their attack was reaching Tiamat more than expected, clung to Tiamat as if in pursuit, and slammed his iron fist into her face-

I swung a right hook, aiming at the part of his chin covered by those thick scales.

Poop!

This time too, it was a hit.

Tiamat, who was dull and heavy, seemed intent on following Atlasia with her eyes, who was moving her feet lightly and acting like a boxer.

“Okay, if you keep attacking the head like this and destroy the brain…!”

This was an idea that would have been prohibited in a sports match, but it was a battle of life and death.

But at that moment.

The bead hanging in the middle of Atlasia’s chest and armor suddenly began blinking red.

A loud sound echoes inside the seats where Cleon and Fleur were riding.

When Cleon and Fleur, embarrassed, look at the screen, Galatea speaks there.

[Remaining operation time, 1 and a half minutes!? Deteriorated aircraft specifications due to lack of power!? What is this!]

With Galatea’s voice, the red number displayed on the screen as ’90:00′ rapidly decreased.

＂Burn, already!?＂

“No matter what, it’s too fast!?”

Cleon and Fleur had completely forgotten the passage of time because they were concentrating on the battle.

Boom!

＂Ugh…!!＂

An intense shock that makes my body shake once again.

That is, while the two were distracted by Galatea’s warning and stopped chasing for a moment, Tia Matt, who had regained her pace, this time pushed Atlasia’s body using both of her front legs.

As it was, it started to press down on me as if I was climbing on top of it.

It seemed like a crackling sound that shouldn’t have been heard came from outside.

＂Oops, it’s dangerous…! Fleur…! Unless you somehow push him away and get up…!”

＂Yes…!!＂

However, Tiamat’s weight was something that could not be easily evaded even by using Atlasia’s strength.

And Laplace, who crushed Atlasia from above, smiles bitterly.

‘There’s no way such a huge machine can move forever…! I guess I’m running out of power!

So, if what follows is natural, should we say it is a natural result…

Ujikkeun!

[Outer armor, damaged…! If it continues like this…!]

When Galatea’s urgent voice rings out.

[Ha, haha… Well, I told you so.]

At some point, Atra had stopped singing that annoying song and was muttering in the corner of the screen.

[In the end, Atlasia is a machine created with the concept of providing people with a ‘hero show fighting monsters’… There is no way it can win against a real ‘monster’…]

＂Pfft… You said you stopped singing… If you have time to say that, please do something about this situation…!＂

Cleon would say that while looking at Atra, who seems to be suffering from depression.

[That song earlier was programmed to sing the opening of the show when the machine started, and it wasn’t my will… Haha…]

Including that part, he was just a part of the show.

He was mocking himself by saying that he wasn’t really an artificial spirit assisting the hero.

[The sword is broken… The other sidearms are offline… It’s over! We’re all going to die like this! Ahaha Union Atlasia!]

＂Be quiet…! What is Union Atlasia!”

Cleon silences Atra and slowly lowers her head.

I wouldn’t have given up, but at least I had to come up with some way…

Fighting these big guys on my own was more difficult than jumping into the gap in another dimension and dealing with those giant snakes.

These guys had almost no intelligence, and Cleon himself was able to fight in full condition.

Right now, he didn’t have any magical power left, and he still had injuries from the fight with Oldburn.

When I glanced down at my hands, I saw blood seeping out from the bandage Fleur had tied, soaking the control stick.

Yes, besides, when I think about protecting Fleur and dealing with that guy here…

＇Something, a way to overcome this situation…＇

[Cleon!]

It was that time.

What Cleon hears is a familiar voice.

It was Lila’s voice.

＂Lila…?＂

But there’s no way Lila’s voice can be heard from here.

When she raises her head, thinking that she is finally hearing hallucinations.

On the screen where Galatea was standing just a moment ago, Lila appears with a crackling sound as if mixed with noise.

And, around her, she could see all the other colleagues who had been swallowed up by her Tia Mat.

The surrounding scenery was the red interior wall she had seen earlier.

“La, Laila!? What, how-“

When he called her name again, Lila answered Cleon.

[I told her where you were. And that this machine can communicate using magical power. Still, to be able to do it in one go, of course, a true genius is different.]

Then, the old man next to Lila looks at us with a slightly tired face.

＂Grandpa…! “You’re safe!”

[Well, should I say it’s thanks to you guys…]

Fleur also seemed a little relieved to see Old Burn like that.

Quad deuk!

[Glove damage 78%! I can’t hold on any longer!]

When Galatea’s voice rang out, it seemed like Lyla and Oldburn could hear it too.

[It doesn’t seem like a situation to talk leisurely…!]

Lila said that and then stretched out her finger toward Cleon.

[Cleon! It’s his boat! Attack the ship!]

“What…? But there you guys…”

[Don’t worry! We’ll take care of it! He must be suffering from severe abdominal pain right now! None other than this guy!]

As Lila said that, she was dragged in from off-screen.

One of the Albain clones with an expression that seems to be unclear.

It was a clone of a broken long sword.

[It seems that Tiamat’s body regards this as a foreign body that cannot be digested. So much so that she once refused to swallow her.]

“But how did you get in?”

[A lot of things happened… Anyway. We are now at the end of Tiamat’s chapter! If we attack the ship, we might be able to escape from here with that momentum!]

At Lila’s explanation, Cleon and Fleur make eye contact.

At the very least, she had to rescue her companion from within Tiamat.

Thinking like that, the two people moved their legs at the same time while lying underneath.

Coo!

As the sound rings out, a huge and powerful shock echoes through Tiamat’s stomach.

Originally, Tia Mat would not have moved her body to that extent.

＂GRUaaaaa!!!＂

As Lila said, the guy is having severe stomach pains.

The guy reacted violently, raised his body, and jumped out of the way of Atlasia.

[Good…! Open!]

At that time, Lila looked to her side with her eyes sparkling.

＂It’s open, what!?＂

[Well, there is such a thing! I’ll talk to you later! Because with this we can escape too!]

[Can I go out too?]

And then the clone asks Lila.

Once the clones leave, the stomachache Tiamat was feeling will probably go away.

Tiamat’s only weakness now will disappear.

However, even Lila couldn’t callously say ‘You stay here’ to the clone who was looking at her with pitiful eyes like an abandoned puppy.

[Ugh… Take care of it!]

In the end, having said that, Lila speaks to Cleon once again.

[We will go outside like this. Don’t worry now, it’s okay to attack!]

“Ah… Of course, I want to do that, but…”

As Cleon said that, the number displayed on the screen finally became ’00:00′.

All lights inside the machine, as well as communication with Lila, disappeared.

＂Okay, is it over?＂

“I think so. First, let’s escape from this machine and join our colleagues.”

In the end, Atlasia didn’t do much, but at least it was useful in taking out a colleague.

As Cleon thought so, he got up and tried to find a way to get out of this place.

But at that moment.

The screen, which was thought to have been turned off, lights up again.

‘Pull the lever above your head!’

I saw a sentence like this.

Now that I think about it, Galatea said it.

This lever is for emergency use.

By any chance, are you telling me to escape with this?

As Cleon thought so, he grabbed the lever above his head and pulled it straight.

As a ‘clunking’ sound was heard, the light inside the machine that had disappeared from the surroundings began to revive.

[Check the operation of the emergency lever! Transform Atlasia’s maneuver into emergency power! Get 3 minutes of extra uptime!]

As that voice is heard, Atlasia’s body begins to move again.

[What!? If something like this happens, tell me sooner!]

Galatea, who returned to the screen, spoke as if she only knew that the lever was for emergency use, but did not know that it was an item that increases operation time.

And in the same way, Artra, who returned to the screen, also talks about it.

[Well, that’s… Even if you extend the time, you won’t be able to defeat the demon beast… The Atlasia Sword is also broken… And since it originally uses magical power for transference, it won’t go back when this is over… Ah. But is there nowhere to return to…]

However, Cleon let out a short breath and raised Atlasia, whose armor was dented.

And.

[Cleon! We all came out!]

Lila’s voice is heard once again.

“… Okay. With 3 minutes of extra time, there is a way to take him down.”

Cleon said that and wiped his sweaty forehead with the back of his hand.

And he grabbed the broken Atlasia Sword that had fallen on the ground.

Cleon and his party rescued the remaining comrades in Tiamat.

And Atlasia is in a state of medium damage, and her only weapon, her sword, is broken.

In comparison, Laplace was attacked several times, but his stomach pain disappeared thanks to the foreign matter disappearing from inside.

Even if it’s not completely back to the starting point, you can say it’s almost back to the starting point.

“Lila! Please help from outside.”

[Of course…! Because everyone thinks so!]

Lila responded to Cleon’s words by raising her remaining magic power.

“Let’s go, Fleur! This time, we must defeat him and put an end to the history of the returnees!”

＂Yes…!＂

A confrontation between pure white armor and a great monster.

The first round of the great match of the century was over, and the second round was about to begin.

And…

Seeing Cleon and his colleagues not willing to back down in a situation that seems absolutely unfavorable and reckless.

The artificial spirit Atra, who was in a negative depression, was looking at them as if she was remembering something that had been buried in her memory a long time ago.
