Raid Breaker
< [Chapter 48] Goliath (2) >
It only took a second from the moment you jumped off the bike to the moment you cut off Goliath's head.
Soohyuk's counterattack happened in the blink of an eye.
This counterattack was really quick and powerful.
Usually, Goliath had to stop moving at this moment when he blew his head off. But the moment Soohyuk blew his head off, Goliath instead reached out to his head and tried to catch Soohyuk.
"Phew!"
Suhyuk was embarrassed for a moment, but he quickly twisted his body to avoid Goliath's hand because the flashing effect was still about a second away.
Goliath was able to move even when his head was flying because he didn't have any key parts in his head. Although it was equipped with ultra-high-quality cameras, it was not necessary for Goliath Knight connected to the line anyway, but it was necessary for the research assistants of Goliath Team, who were checking on the status of Goliath in real time.
At the time the head flew off, it was the guide knight who was hit the most. However, the guide night barely held the line while resisting headaches that were likely to break because the line was not sufficiently broken.
Toothless, toothless.
Electric sparks were flashing from Goliath's neatly cut head, but Goliath was still moving. This was one of the greatest advantages of Goliath.
Goliath was able to fight until the moment his head flew off and his arms were pulled out, as long as the guide night could hold.
Are you saying I can fly my head? ’
- Precision search shows that their core area is the right chest. However, the chest is protected with gloves that are four times thicker than the others. And there's a lot of rockets in the left chest and shoulders, and a lot of weapons in both arms and legs.
There was a small reactor in Goliath's right chest. If it stopped functioning, Goliath would have to collapse. Fortunately, there was little risk of an explosion at this reactor.
Of course, if the reactor is destroyed, the radiation contamination will be of course, but at least it means that the reactor will not explode and a large accident will not occur.
The reactor excelled in many ways over Mana engines, except that it could not be used in a dungeon. Especially at a price point, it was only one-fifth of Mana's engine, so it played a big role in lowering Goliath's unit price.
In fact, except for the cost of raising guiding knights or goliath knights, the cost of making goliath was roughly the same as the cost of making titan in the first generation.
The cost was so good that performance was unbeatable to the first generation. It could not be used in the dungeon, but there were many modern weapons available outside the dungeon, allowing it to exert great power, not only in the Great Beast War but also in human warfare.
Goliath's firepower was formidable in the first place, as it was designed to take into account the battle with monsters and humans.
In the course of Jan's careful exploration, the goliaths were moving quickly to catch Soohyuk.
Suhyuk's flashing effects were over, but the wind-like effects remained, so far he has been able to avoid the Goliath's movements with ease.
Guava, Guava!
The goliaths reach out their hands roughly as if Soohyuk were not worried about getting hurt. At least one of them seems to be broken if you get hit by them.
It was fortunate for Soohyuk that they were not using their knight skills and built-in weapons. Since both Goliath Knights of Goliath came first, they were both reinforced knights, they could not be reinforced with the idea that Suhyuk could not survive or die.
Even if it could not be amplified, Goliath's fundamental abilities were so strong that the addition of Knights' abilities to them would create a power that would not be tolerable in the human body.
- Sir, it looks like more Goliaths are flying in. We did a quick sweep of the surrounding area in perforated mode a little while ago, and we picked up three more transport helicopters about four kilometers away. Their ETA is... two to three minutes.
‘Dammit... I can't find five of these guys...' ’
Suhyuk, who heard Yan's report, felt that the time had come to make a decision.
‘I haven't heard from Hye Ri, but I have to go away now. ’
I originally planned to disappear after hearing from Hye-in, but as always, the plan could change at any time in this urgent situation.
- Sir, but... maybe I can hack into that and get control.
Jan speaks with considerable caution, but is actually confident to hack. This was not just some vague confidence, but the fact that I naturally learned about Goliath as I always did when the first Goliath appeared.
-If I can just plug a medium into Goliath's body at a certain point…… I think I can cut their lines and create a new one in reverse.
Where are the specific areas? ’
- It's one of their vertebral lines…… I'll mark the exact location separately.
‘Okay, got it. Then……. ’
Suhyuk listened to Yan and revised the plan again.
Meanwhile, the Goliath Knights controlling Goliath Knights were annoyed by the fact that they were cooking like muffins, but after a few minutes, they thought that if three more Goliaths arrived, it would all be over and began to move to prevent Soohyuk from getting out of here instead of trying too hard.
They tried to stop Suhyuk from escaping like that, but instead, Suhyuk had no intention of running away. Various variables occur, plans are constantly modified, and the final chosen plan was not an escape…… and another counterattack.
- I think we should go after the guy with the head blown off.
According to Yan's advice, Soohyuk caught the first target with a flying goliath.
‘Soon your friends will come and you'll be able to catch them, right? But...... I'll tell you how big a mistake that thought of yours was! ’
Soohyuk felt that he had an opportunity when he was trying to prevent Goliaths from running away, blocking Soohyuk's front and rear.
‘Let's do it together. ’
Soohyuk rearranges his skill cores and glances back. Goliaths still stand in their place, trying to stop him.
Approximately one to two minutes until additional goliath arrives. If this one fails, Soohyuk will be besieged by five goliaths, and then it will be over.
‘…… 4, 3, 2, 1, got it! ’
The moment 'like the wind in Peppero’ 's cooldown ended and the skill was available again.
Soohyuk did not hesitate to use it like the wind. And, of course, flashes were used.
Soohyuk was able to run like a beam of light once again.
He runs toward Goliath, whose head was blocking his path.
Flash!
Soohyuk suddenly moves at an incredible speed. Goliath thought Soohyuk was trying to escape. That's why he tried to stop Soohyuk with his big body.
However, Soohyuk, who was running at the speed of a beam of light, jumped as hard as he could at the moment Goliath stopped him.
Tsk, tsk!
Soohyuk jumped up high, taking a strong shot at the floor. He jumps lightly over Goliath, keeping his momentum alive.
Goliath thinks Soohyuk is trying to run away and quickly turns around. But at that moment...... a small dimensional dagger swirled from the air and dug into Goliath's body.
Kwaek!
Honestly, a dagger like this couldn't stop Goliath from working. It was a similar level of impact to that of a person bitten by a mosquito.
Of course, Goliath Knight, who was controlling Goliath, tried to catch Suhyuk directly, ignoring such a small blow. And that's the moment.
The link suddenly became unstable.
An uninvited guest who has entered their line that has been fairly stable so far. He was Jan.
Suhyuk stabbed the dimensional dagger exactly where Jan told him to. It was a kind of receiver. It was fitted with Mana circuits similar to the Mana circuits carved into the body of Guardian Knight, where the dagger was inserted and used as a medium to forcibly intervene in the Link System.
Of course, the receiving device was protected by several layers of protection, so it was not damaged enough to insert the dagger, but at least it was possible to contact the receiving device through the dagger.
That's why Jan asked me to put the dagger there.
Geez!
Goliath's movement slows rapidly as he reaches for Soohyuk. It even swayed a little.
-Link system taken over. I'm going to break an existing line and create a new one.
Giddy up, giddy up!
Jan quickly severed the line to Goliath and created a new one. Of course, when the connection with Goliath Knight was severed, Goliath stopped moving and solidified like a stone.
Of course, Goliath was taken over like this, and the perforated mode had to be shut down. The principle of Yan's connection to the perforation was similar to this linking system, but Yan could not maintain both lines at the same time.
Did it work? ’
- Yes, it worked. If you want to move Goliath, you can do the same thing all the time.
‘Thoughts...... ’
Suhyuk stared at Goliath who was holding out his hand and stared at him in furious fury as if he was running towards him alternately. Yan said this idea.
- Goliath mode operates and consumes dimensions.
Then, the goliath mode operated, consuming dimensional force, as if using the perforated mode.
And at that moment, the goliath in front of me began to move.
Kuku, Kuku, Kuku!
Goliath, whose head had been blown off by Suhyuk, stopped another goliath whose head had not been blown off.
Of course, the people who were most frightened at this moment were John commit and his men.
“The link system has been completely disconnected! ”
“The guide night has lost consciousness due to the shock! ”
“We've lost control completely. ”
John Commit watched as he listened to reports coming from everywhere as he watched the video being transmitted from another healthy goliath.
How the hell did you do that? Silver Fox…… What kind of magic did you do? ’
John Commit could not understand the situation.
If Goliath had just been destroyed and stopped working, he would have. But now the situation was completely different.
Goliath was fine, but the link system was forced out. The connection was not disconnected due to anxiety. Suddenly, there was an unknown interference outside and it was disconnected.
All of this was something that John Commit couldn't understand.
But something happened that made no sense to me.
“Goliath moves again. ”
Goliath, whose link system had been cut off, naturally stopped moving again. That headless Goliath... stopped a healthy Goliath.
“Crazy... This is impossible! ”
John Commit shouted out loud denial of reality. However, no matter how much he denied the reality, some nonsense was already happening in reality.
Percussion, Wheeler!
The headless Goliath grasps the arms of the other healthy Goliath, twisting and turning as it is. Then the intact Goliath is thrown out without any resistance.
Guaguava overload!
A healthy Goliath stuck in one corner of the West Sea Bridge. Even Goliath Knight, who was controlling the Goliath, was out of his mind because it happened so suddenly.
“W-what is that...? ”
“How can you move like that...? ”
“No way.... ”
The engineers in the application factory who were watching said that it was absurd.
Even if Goliath had a feature that could move smoother and faster than Titan, it was a movement that destroyed common sense for people in the Appletorium a while ago.
Just a moment ago, the scene was similar to that of a top-level guiding player when he won a great leap against another player. It didn't make sense that Goliath was imitating induction techniques in the first place.
What the hell is going on? ’
John Commit felt all this like a dream.
But his dream was so futile.
Quadruck, quadruck!
The troubled Goliath lands on the ground, trying to rebalance himself and stand up. At that moment, a sword swiftly flies and plunges deep into his chest.
This was Suhyuk's sword thrown using the fourth brother, Rain. There was no problem if it was just a sword, but it exploded almost simultaneously with the black chest.
The fourth brother, Rain, followed by the seventh brother, Width, and the sword exploded in pieces.
It wasn't a fatal blow to Goliath just to the extent that the sword exploded in his body. But the problem was where the sword was planted. One of the most explosive weapons in Goliath's possession was embedded in the blade, and the blade exploded as well.
Guaguava overload!
The explosion that began in Goliath's body grew larger, swallowing his entire body.
Guaguava, fruit and fruits.
The explosion was several times more powerful than Soohyuk thought. It also meant that Goliath had a large quantity of explosives, but was the explosion so powerful? At the same time as the explosion, the West Sea Bridge collapsed. And because the bridge collapsed so suddenly, I felt like I would have to fall into the sea with the collapsed bridge and the headless Goliath on it.
