Chapter 787 -448: There’s a Way, Use This_1
It was a gigantic iron ball, more than six meters in height, almost the size of a two-story building, perfectly round like a sphere.
It was rolling along the road, flattening everything in its path into a leveled, solid track.
“This thing would be pretty decent at paving roads, ugh, I mean, run!” Durken blurted out absentmindedly, then quickly realized the urgency of the situation and yelled.
Captain Neiwen, riding the Bone Dragon, swooped down and shouted, “Run, fast, scatter to the sides!” while trying to block the giant iron ball.
The Bone Dragon he was riding was more than twenty meters long, but only about six or seven meters high when standing on the ground. It seemed difficult to obstruct such a huge rolling iron ball.
The Bone Dragon tried, scraped up sparks with its claws, yet failed to slow down the iron ball. Instead, it got entangled by it.
Before the Bone Dragon lost its balance, it tilted massively to the right and fell flat on its side.
There was a crack, and the Bone Dragon’s thigh bone was crushed. After the iron ball passed over it, the Dragon was split on the ground in a challenging splits maneuver. Its foot bones were crushed into the ground, flattened beyond extraction.
The path ahead of the iron ball was unobstructed. An endless strip of Skeleton Zombies was laid out along the road as if they were specifically arranged to be crushed by the iron ball.

These Skeleton Zombies were all driven out. Without any soul contact with Ange, it was challenging to instruct them flexibly to perform the difficult task of “scattering to the sides”. If the Big Round Devil wasn’t stopped, it would soon turn into a bone-crushing machine.
“Ah!” The Little Angel gave a loud shout, charging swiftly ahead to the front of the troupe and bracing her shoulders.
With a whoosh, her four Light Wings unfurled, and a thick beam of light illuminated the iron ball.
As the light column disappeared, the outer layer of the iron ball was slightly melted but instantly solidified. It looked like it had merely served to smooth the ball’s surface without any apparent effect.
Unfazed, the giant iron ball continued rolling forward.
The Little Angel seemed stunned. Her normally unstoppable Holy Light Flash couldn’t harm this giant iron ball?
“It’s too thick. The iron ball’s shell is too thick. In its rolling motion, the Holy Light dissipates upon impact, spreading the heat. Huh? What is she doing? Is she mad? Get out of the way!” Durken’s words were cut short as he saw a shocking scene unfold.
Not only did the Little Angel not dodge, she even appeared somewhat defiant, drawing a large hammer — was she planning to smash the iron ball with a ‘little’ hammer, even when the Holy Light Flash failed?
Durken rolled up his cloak in desperation, turning into a cloud of smoke and disappearing.
But someone was faster than him. Roxy felt a slight difference in weight at her waist, and the Guardian Divine Sword hanging there was drawn out by Ange.
At his heart, the Goddess of War and Peace pulsated wildly. A powerful force emerged. With a wave of Ange’s divine sword, a light beam extended towards the Little Angel, producing a semi-transparent Guardian Barrier.
The light extended and contracted, pulling Ange over.
Boom! The giant iron ball smashed into the Guardian Barrier, causing a thunderous explosion. The iron ball momentarily bounced up, fell back onto the ground, hitting the barrier, and rolled back.
The formidable iron ball couldn’t break the Guardian Barrier activated by the Goddess of War and Peace herself.
“Ah!” The Little Angel brandished the Earth Hammer joyfully, calling out to the giant iron ball.
Ange slapped her on the head irritably: “Ah!”
He promptly confiscated her hammer. She shouldn’t play with such a weapon. Given any weapon, she’d inevitably end up doing something dangerous — playing with fire when given a match, splashing water when near a swimming pool. It was bound to lead to danger one day.
The Earth Hammer, just pulled out, was somewhat dazed. It mumbled, “What’s going on? Are we ploughing the fields? Or did you pull me out to hit that giant iron ball?”
On learning it was supposed to hit the giant iron ball, the Earth Hammer roared in anger: “Have you no decency? No humanity? You want me to smash this hunk of iron? It’s thousands of times larger than an anvil! Which one of us is doing the smashing, exactly?”
Chirping — chirping — the giant iron ball began to sway, first leaning back, then rolling forward. The more it swayed, the greater the amplitude, as if it were about to start rolling again.
Before that could happen, Ange swung the Earth Hammer, striking the iron ball with a clang.
Buzzing — buzzing — both the Earth Hammer and the iron ball were shaking persistently.
Negris flew over, noticing Durken, covering his face and gradually revealing his figure.
“Why are you covering your face?” Negris asked in confusion.
Durken removed his hand, revealing a flattened face as if it had been pounded with a mallet: “I charged too quickly and hit my face.”
Not only did Ange’s Guardian Barrier block the giant iron ball, but also Durken.
“Ah, you look much better now with this hit. Did it break your nose?” Negris gloating over Durken’s misfortune.
Fortunately, his teeth were still intact. It was just a minor injury. Ange pinched his nose bone, and healed it with a couple of Face Purification Techniques.
“What the devil is this thing?” Negris pointed at the giant iron ball and asked.
“A Mechanical Construct, what else could it be? At least of the Guardian Construct level but even more extreme than that.” Durken replied.
“Petersburg?” Everyone had an ah-ha moment at the mention of Petersburg.
Despite Petersburg’s short screen time, it was a headache for anyone who crossed paths with it. Its iron barrel-like defense was indestructible.
The Mechanical Construct before them, known as the Big Round Devil, was evidently even more extreme than Petersburg. It was essentially a giant iron ball that caused damage by rolling. If it couldn’t roll, it was just a lump of iron.
