Chapter 336: A Girl stands tall on the Earth (Part 1)

The Abyssal Overlord had no idea what consequences its casual steps would bring upon itself and its entire swarm.

The big boss might not be in a hurry to win, but among the insects, there were always those who wanted to.

Several Abyss Insects swiftly burrowed into the Weapon Workshop, beginning to hunt down all living things, devouring all flesh and blood.

Even a mosquito-sized morsel like a beautiful girl was fair game.

The girl Aoi glanced back and was instantly scared out of her wits, desperately scrambling forward.

She had already calculated that she had no chance of escaping the bloody maws of these Insect People.

At this very moment, recent memories began flashing through her mind.

Those days when she wasn’t alone.

She had found friends to discuss forging techniques with, found people who accepted her, found a home of her own.

She didn’t want to die.

She even remembered a more distant past.

The village destroyed by Magic Beasts.

She had watched with her own eyes as her parents were torn apart and devoured by the wolf pack.

Blood. Screams. Despair.

“It’s over…”

The life review had begun.

That memory should have been sealed away long ago.

Back then, for self-preservation, she had already forgotten the specific details of her parents’ deaths.

She only vaguely knew everything from what the Radiant Guild Leader who saved her had told her.

But now, every detail, all of it came back.

Perhaps it was because her home was about to be destroyed again.

“My life… is really unlucky.”

The girl Aoi gave a bitter smile.

But when she snapped back to reality, she found herself already before the Brilliant Light Mecha.

Those Abyss Insects hadn’t caught up to her.

She was still alive.

She wanted to stand up.

Her legs were trembling.

But the next moment, she actually stood up.

“Huh?”

The girl Aoi looked down at her own feet.

She was standing.

She was actually standing.

You have to understand, her legs had never been truly broken.

Samimi had examined them before. The nerve reflexes were normal.

The reason she couldn’t stand was just psychological trauma.

And now, a greater trauma had overwritten the past.

Crushing everything and unraveling everything.

Legs unused for decades, yet not atrophied.

Once standing, she could move freely.

Unscientific?

Don’t ask. Beautiful girls are just like that.

And besides, she was a Black-Tech Blacksmith.

What’s wrong with her body being a little overpowered?

“With you… can I save everyone?”

Standing before the mecha, the girl Aoi felt both confused and resolute inside.

She pressed the activation button.

Click.

The Brilliant Light Mecha’s hatch opened.

It was a thick piece of abdominal armor, revealing a pitch-black entrance.

The space was narrow.

Anyone a bit chubby wouldn’t be able to fit.

But Aoi at this moment moved swiftly and decisively.

She leaped in, closed the hatch, and locked it.

“The outside absolutely must not open it.”

The cockpit was cramped, square-shaped, hardly any room to stretch limbs.

Originally designed to be circular, but for strength, it was changed to this structure.

Like a coffin.

But the girl Aoi felt incredibly at ease.

Like returning to the womb.

However, she quickly snapped back to attention.

Without fighting, she couldn’t survive.

Outside, the sounds of clashing blades and monster footsteps kept getting closer.

The girl Aoi reached out and pressed her hand on the control panel in front.

Activate Radiant Knight.

Hum!

The sound of magic power activating was crisp and pleasant.

Pure blue magic poured into the skeleton made of celestial meteorite iron.

The runic armor lit up layer by layer.

Finally, all the magic power surged into the cockpit, completely enveloping the girl Aoi.

Clang!

The helmet lit up with a blue glow.

Activation complete.

The several-meter-tall Knight Mecha suddenly stood up.

Its heavy frame erupted with astonishing speed, standing tall on the ground.

Just at that moment, the Abyssal Overlord slowly hacked through the shelves and poked its head in to look.

It couldn’t understand why a mosquito-sized morsel would hide behind thick steel plates.

“So afraid of death?”

But the moment it swung its blade, death had already descended.

Boom!

The Radiant Knight suddenly struck.

A magic-powered heavy punch, fast as lightning, directly shattering the Abyssal Overlord’s head.

Instant kill.

In passing, the surrounding Abyss Insects were also smashed into pulp.

None survived.

Now, inside the cockpit, runes operating, the girl Aoi’s consciousness was completely synchronized with the mecha.

She was the mecha. The mecha was her.

She saw the world through the mecha’s eyes.

Thought and action became one.

Boom!

The Radiant Knight suddenly crouched down, charging power.

The next instant, it shot into the sky.

Directly crashing through the roof of the Weapon Workshop.

All four limbs coordinated.

Completely unlike a realistic mecha.

More like a super robot series.

Boom! Boom!

The back thrusters spewed flames.

A brief glide.

It landed steadily in the Radiant Guild Plaza.

At this moment, the entire camp had no living people left.

The streets were filled with insects.

Survivors could only hold on, fighting bitterly from within buildings.

No one could withstand the worm tide in open ground.

Hum!

The Abyss Insects sensed the target and instantly swarmed forward.

The Radiant Knight raised its hand.

Zing!

A three-meter-long runic steel sword sprang out from its wrist.

Core weapon: Dragon-Slaying Sword.

Folding arm blade.

Unfolds during combat.

Clang!

A sweeping slash.

Dozens of insects were cut in half at the waist.

Green blood sprayed.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Continuous slashes.

The six-meter-tall heavy knight had an absurdly fast attack speed.

Over a hundred Abyss Insects were cleared out in an instant, including the Abyssal Overlord.

A short while later, the Radiant Guild area was completely cleared.
