Chapter 174: BOOM
"Taking these things down one by one is not going to work. I need to increase the speed." Damon climbed back up the corridor, only to find that the golems could easily roll along the walls as well, climbing with no effort at all. The height was not going to give him an advantage for long.
He immediately shifted to a new tactic. There was no point in targeting these nut machines one by one. They all wanted to self-destruct and take him down along with them, so he might as well help them achieve their goal together.
The golems all moved together, and this gave Damon his biggest advantage. He selected four golems in the middle and then aimed for them. With successive power-packed fireballs, he launched his barrage straight at the cluster’s heart.
The first explosion was massive. But it wasn’t just the firepower that mattered, it was the chain reaction that followed.
The moment the central four were hit, their unstable cores began to implode, dragging the surrounding mechs toward them with brutal suction.
Damon grinned. "Eat each other, you freaks," he growled, watching the chaos spiral."So long mother fuckers!" He did not wait around to take a portion of the damage and quickly made his way through the corridor. However, he only barely took a few miles when a massive shockwave rippled everywhere.
The corridor flashed in a dance of blue-violet implosions, the resulting shockwaves merging, magnifying, and then finally collapsing into a singular, explosive pulse. The metallic corridor cracked, dents and warps distorting its once-perfect symmetry.
The metallic walls that looked absolutely indestructible did not look so powerful anymore as an entire section peeled away, the wall itself breaking apart.
Damon was thrown back again, but this time he rode the impact, flipping mid-air and skidding to a halt on one knee, breathing heavily, his hand instinctively drawing blood to reform his shield.
