While there was no telling why the tortoise colossus had blown up, it was clearly good news for the Players.
The colossus's HP bar had dropped by a huge chunk, and even its movements were temporarily paused. The unusual patterns over its body flickered in red light as if it was some warning light.
"The God of Games is watching over us! Now! Everyone, attack! " Mufasa, who had seen his fair share of spectacles was the first to come to his senses. Seeing that everyone was still stunned by the sudden turn of events, he quickly raised his longsword and shouted.
Even so, most of the Players were still looking lost.
Simba, who had been jolted out of his daze by Mufasa's shout quickly noticed that. Panicking, he had a flash of inspiration and mimicked Mufasa's action, raising his own weapon. "The Boss has stiffened! Let's kill the Boss and get some equipment! "
All at once, the Players came to their senses and surged like a tidal wave towards the temporarily immobile tortoise colossus!
Mufasa glanced at Simba, his flatfish eyes filled with benevolence.
He was immeasurably pleased that the ordinary refugee youth he had saved back then had grown to such a level.
Still, it only took him a few moments to be in awe before he ran ahead of the other Players.
Mufasa was not at all interested in fighting the colossus Boss that was the tortoise colossus. His real target was the undead elf who had been hiding in the head of the tortoise colossus all along!
Regardless of whether the creature was responsible for the tortoise colossus's mutation, cutting it down first would never go wrong. At the very least, he could prevent the other Players from being frozen by its ice magic like Edward did before, before being reduced to ash by the Pyrocrystal Cannon.
Be that as it may, the undead elf also realized that the tortoise colossus had malfunctioned. While its instincts carved into the deoxyribose allowed it to control the Elven SIN simulator, instincts were still instincts. No one would believe that its instincts contained a manual on the maintenance and repair of the tortoise colossus.
And so, the undead elf left the tortoise colossus's head when it sensed that the tortoise colossus had stopped moving. Naturally, it wasn't to repair it, but to reboot it.
After all, sixty percent of malfunctions in any machine could be fixed by rebooting it …
That was why the tortoise colossus's head was already empty when Mufasa arrived.
Meanwhile, Eleena entered Crookes on the back of the tortoise colossus.
To be precise, it was the ruins of Crookes. More than half of the buildings had been blown to smithereens in the explosion just now, with the remaining half more or less left in a mess.
The ruins were filled with the sound of flames being blown by the wind, and the crackling sound of the wood being burned. On the contrary, there was almost no sound of people.
Even if Simba and the others had tried their best to evacuate most of the residents, there should still be tens of thousands of people in the city who hadn't managed to escape in time. Now, there was only the sound of wind and fire, but there was no sound of people. It was obvious that this was a cruel situation.
The residents who didn't have time to escape were probably all dead.
"Little Master!"
Just as Eleena was about to look for the old man who claimed to be her grandfather, a short and fat man suddenly appeared in front of her.
"You're …" The girl looked at the words' Construct 'above his head and noticed that the font had completely turned green, indicating that it was an allied unit.
"The old master has transferred his authority to you." The man knelt on one knee before the girl and respectfully handed her an ancient crystal key. "From now on, you are the Manager of the Faint Crystal Stratum."
"Faint Crystal Stratum?" Eleena tilted her head in confusion.
"It's the outermost layer of the Elven SIN that we guard."
The construct replied. "From the outside to the inside, the entire Elven SIN is divided into five stratums: the Faint Crystal Stratum, the Deep Wall Stratum, the Dark Sky Stratum, Steel Earth Stratum and the Eternal Scripture, each of which has a different Guardian."
'I see. It seems that the activity this time is to conquer the Eternal Scripture, the core of the Elven SIN, layer by layer.'
The girl nodded her head slightly, indicating that she roughly understood.
"By the way, what happened to your former master?" Eleena couldn't help asking.
"The old master had infiltrated the outer shell of the Deep Wall Stratum, intending to use his few remaining elven stones to suppress the corruption from the depths and do his best to delay the Elven SIN's revival."
"In other words, the reason the giant tortoise hasn't reactivated is because he bought us time?"
It was only then that Eleena understood why the tortoise colossus would temporarily lose its mobility even though it was only its outer shell that was blown apart.
She glanced at the key and asked, "I could enter the Faint Crystal Stratum if I use this key, right? How do I use it? "
But before she could finish, the pudgy automaton suddenly burst into action, a war hammer appearing in its hand out of nowhere.
Just as Eleena subconsciously put an eggshell over herself, she suddenly realized that the automaton's target wasn't her.
The automaton's war hammer moved past the girl and struck the undead elf who was ambushing her from behind.
However, the undead elf had probably cast some sort of buff on itself. Not only did the undead elf's heavy war hammer fail to send it flying, but when it struck its arm, it let out an ear-piercing sound like metal colliding with metal. There were even sparks flying!
Eleena panicked for a moment — after all, she had never fought alone before — but she quickly regained her composure and raised her hand to fire a Spear of Victory.
And yet, the undead elf merely turned its body slightly to easily deflect the luminous spear, even casting a spell similar to Frost Nova at Eleena.
The barrier she had used to protect herself was instantly sealed in ice, turning into a spherical cage that impeded the girl's movements.
And when the girl used her meteor hammer to break the thick ice shell, what she saw was that the undead elf had killed the automaton and was using its skin to absorb its broken body.
After absorbing the automaton, the undead elf's body became fuller and sturdier, just as the expression on its face became livelier.
It had already sensed the girl's gaze, but it did not feel threatened. Instead, it turned its neck more than ninety degrees and faced the girl with its face, revealing an incomparably ferocious and strange smile.
