SSS SKILL: DUPLICATE

CRUNCH! The head of the giant beast is cut off.

Susan rotates in mid-air, then she landed on the body of the beast. The body starts falling.

The other giant fired a beam.

Susan jumped to the giant with a somersault, then she charges down from the air as threads of wind element rotate on her right hand. 

She swung her right arm, then a giant wind blade flew down

CRUNCH! The giant's limbs are cut.

SQUEEEK! Screams the giant as it falls to its side. Susan moves down from the air, and landed on the body of the giant. She raised her right hand, then slashed it down.

Meanwhile, a huge number of red beasts is attacking the main stronghold.

The stronghold has a square wall and two huge silver gates. There are buildings and facilities that are currently burning. A water magician flies in the air with a blob of water, then casts a water pillar to stop the fire.

There is a crossroad in the stronghold. The middle leads to the restricted area. Military cars keep moving on the road and sending supplies to the wall as all magicians that can use space storage are either defending or stopping the fire. In each corner of the wall is a defense tower, but two are severely damaged.

On top of the wall, there are four cannons and big machine guns. The cannons have run out of ammo. Outside of the stronghold, there are big holes and corpses of red giant beasts.

The big machine guns keep firing at the smaller beasts.

FIREBALLS

EARTH SPIKE

WATER BOMB

FIRE BEAMS

AURA BLADE

Bullets, magic, and martial skills keep flying in the air.

A helicopter rose from the stronghold, then flew to one side of the wall to give support.

Missiles are fired at the giant beast.

Boom! "SQUUUEK!" The giant screamed. It is still alive, but it suffered a big injury. It faces the helicopter, then it fired a big fireball.

The helicopter moved away, then fired another missile, but it was met with many fireballs fired by the smaller beasts. The fireballs and missiles exploded in the air.

The giant fired a firebeam at the helicopter.

The helicopter tries to dodge the attack, but the tail is obliterated.

The helicopter is smoking and spinning in the air.

"Mr. Sun, the pilot needs help!" said a soldier.

A man with red armor looks to the east. The magic runes on his cape flashed, then he flew to the helicopter.

The giant beast is preparing for another attack.

"Jump!" shouted Ken, the Sun Family descendant.

Boom! The helicopter exploded. Half of its body is obliterated.

Ken catched the pilot, then put him on the wall. He cast magic and rides a fire dragon.

The fire dragon flew outside the wall, opened its mouth, and fired fireballs at the beasts.

It is moving toward the giant beast. Ken is standing on the dragon's head. He is raising his right hand with a magic circle.

Another giant is moving closer behind the beast injured by the helicopter.

The giants saw the incoming fire dragon, and then they attack it.

Oom! Fire beams quickly approach the fire dragon.

Ken jumped forward. His right arm has a huge orange ball with rotating threads of fire.

He gathers strength for his arm, then attack the giant.

ART OF FIRE: FIRESUN

The huge ball of fire rapidly moves down.

Boom! It exploded with the injured giant, and caused a big shockwave.

"SQUUUEK!" screams the other giant. It is pushed by the shockwave and falls to the ground.

Ken stretched his arm.

A huge magic circle is forming above the giant.

ART OF FIRE: JUDGMENT

A huge fire pillar fell from the circle.

Boom! The fire pillar hit the beast. The range of the pillar is huge causing big dust to form. 

The fire pillar dissipated. The huge beast turned into charcoal and a big hole appears on the ground.

Ken looks at the incoming beasts. Among the beasts, another giant is approaching.

On the south wall, a hyperbeing named Gart jumped out of the wall.

An earth spear appears on Gart's right hand. He covered it with aura, then he put a throwing stance in the air.

SHOO! The spear rapidly moves down.

CRUNCH! The spear pierced a beast's head.

Two earthen spears appear on Gart's hands.

Fireballs are flying to Gart.

Crunch! Gart charged down and stabbed a beast's head. Fireballs attack from his side. He jumped up, then attacked from the air.

On the west side of the wall.

A hyperbeing named Walter is panting as he looks at an increasing number of beasts.

A magic circle appears beneath his feet, and then a water dragon lifts him to the air. Walter directed the water dragon to fly outside of the wall.

The water dragon fired water bombs.

Boom! Boom! The beasts on the ground are being blown away.

Walter stretched his right arm, then a huge magic circle appeared. Threads of water element are rotating on the magic circle.

WATER JET

A water jet flies and pierces the beasts. 

Walter moves the jet and cuts the beasts. The jet also hit the ground, causing a huge line to appear.

The water jet dissipated, then Walter moved back to the wall. He is panting heavily.

"Sir, are you alright?" A soldier asked.

Walter shakes his head.

"I'm running out of mana," said Walter. They have already run out of potion.

Walter looks at the approaching beasts.

"Call, Mr. Ken!" said Walter as he saw the giant beasts.

A soldier calls, then receives a reply.

"W-We need to hold on for a few minutes," said the soldier with a sweat on his face.

Walter's face looks grave. He gripped his fists hard, then he saw something in the sky.

"A reinforcement?" Walter murmured.

A helicopter is flying in the air. Robert grins as he looks at the huge number of beasts on the ground, then he jumps.

He releases his aura, then raises his right arm. A huge shield is forming.

Robert gathers strength in his right arm. The yellow shield on his arm became two meters high with a sharp, pointed bottom. He covered the big shield with an aura, then threw it down.

The big shield is like a meteor as it rapidly falls down.

It is falling down to a giant.

Boom! The bottom of the shield stabbed the head of the giant, then hit the ground, causing cracks and dust to form.

The shield is embedded in the ground with the giant's head.

Edgar had taught Robert the magic skill of a shield fanatic of a Nation named Thorn.

Robert changed his posture, then he charges down from the air. Shields are forming on his arms as he moves down in the air.

He rotates his body in mid air.

Flop! He landed on top of the big shield.

ART OF THORN: SHIELDBLADE

Robert swung his arms, then two round silver shields with blades flew to the red beasts. The silver blade looks like the three blades of a fan.

The shieldblades are rotating in the air. They attack in both sides.

SQUEEK! The beasts scream as their limbs are cut by the shieldblades.

A giant beast turned to its back and faces Robert, then fired a giant fireball.

Robert jumped up with somersault, then he moves down. A shield is forming on his right arm. He struck it to the giant's head.

SWORD OF THORN

CRUNCH! A silver shield that looks like a triangle with a sharp edge and pointed bottom is stabbed into the head of the giant.

The surrounding beasts fired fireballs at Robert.

Robert let go of the shield, then jumped up while rotating his body in the air.

He raised his right arm, then a shield is forming. His head is facing the crowd of beasts on the ground. He moves down from the air.

ART OF THORN: SHIELD IMPACT

Boom! A shockwave blew away the beasts.

A big, golden, rectangular shield is on Robert's right arm. He grins, then he keeps swinging the shield and blowing away the beasts.

"W-who is that man?" asked a soldier with astonishment on his face.

"I-I don't know. But I heard that Evenheart members are going to reinforce us. H-He is probably an Evenheart member," said a soldier.

Soldiers and Walter look at Robert with shock.

The beasts at the front of the crowd return.

A giant beast and many smaller beasts move closer to Robert.

Robert fearlessly faces the huge number of beasts. He dispersed the shield on his right arm, then put himself in a sideways position and raised his left arm.

The beasts open their mouths.

ART OF THORN: ELEMENTAL SHIELD

Clang! A big black shield has formed in front of Robert. Its size is two meters. It has golden runes and its middle has white crystal.

The smaller beasts attack Robert with fireballs.

A huge number of fireballs are flying in the air.

Bang! Bang! Bang! The big shield and Robert are being pushed by the barrage of fireballs.

Oom! A firebeam flies in the air.
