The Return of the God of War [The Protector] Chapter 2685

Chapter 2685 Iron Golem Technique No one, not even Max, had expected this twist of events. They knew they had reinforcements coming, but why was it only one person? And more importantly, who was it? Thankfully, their questions were soon answered when they finally got a good look at the person. Their backup was none other than The Cardinal Hall General, Edmund! He had come to lend a helping hand, and it was also perfect timing that he had just finished his solitary training. Even though Edmund couldn't yet achieve Level Nine of the Iron Golem Technique, he was happy enough to be able to stabilize it at Level Eight. Now that he had completed the primary stages of his mission, how could he not show up when Erudia needed him? Craig's battalion immediately erupted into cheers. Edmund might have come alone, but his presence alone had provided everyone with ample reassurance. Buzz buzz buzz... Just then, a series of low humming noises rang out and created vibrations that stopped the Leviathans in their tracks. On top of that, Edmund's body had become golden as eight rays of light shimmered around him. That was Level Eight of the Iron Golem Technique, the highest level mere mortals could achieve! As astonished as they were, everyone had also become even more confident about their chances of winning. The next second, Edmund valiantly charged toward the group of Leviathans. The Leviathans, too, started retaliating, their massive claws striking down on him. Craig's Mecha Corps hadn't been able to withstand their attacks, but Edmund was different. No matter how many hits he took, Edmund remained impervious to them. Being intelligent creatures with self-awareness, even the Leviathans were shocked that they hadn't been able to hurt Edmund in the slightest. Instead, a burst of energy shot out from his body and flung one of them to the ground. Bang! Bang! Enraged, the Leviathans escalated their attacks and used every means and weapon they had to bombard Edmund, even unleashing their energy beams on him. Edmund, on the other hand, had nothing to fear. With the Iron Golem Technique protecting him, he could easily deflect everything that the Leviathans unleashed on him. There was, however, a big problem. Edmund's body might be impenetrable, but he still couldn't cause any physical damage to the Leviathans, much less destroy them. Like Edmund, their bodies were just far too sturdy. Everyone at Lab of Gods panicked when they saw how the situation was playing out. If the Leviathans' attack failed, they wouldn't be able to send in the undercover troops, and Restricted Area 76 wouldn't make its move either. In short, the entire battle was riding on the Leviathans. Despite their worries, Mr. X remained calm and composed. “Don't worry! No matter how powerful he is, he won't be able to hold back for long! Level Eight of the Iron Golem Technique merely affords him an incredible defense. His attacks are useless against the Leviathans,” he reassured. “I'm sure we'll be able to break his defenses soon! Let's have the Leviathans and our undercover troops attack together!” Mr. X was right. Edmund could temporarily hold off the Leviathans, but his efforts would be for naught if he couldn't deal any real damage to them. After all, there were eight hundred Leviathans in total, and they were massively strong. True enough, Edmund soon reached his limit. He couldn't hold off the horde of Leviathans any longer, and they successfully broke through his line of defense. Without hesitation, Edmund sent a signal to Craig. “Fire!” Since no weapons could hurt him, he had no problem letting Craig and his battalion fire at will while he continued to stop the Leviathans from advancing. Boom! Boom! Boom! Upon Craig's command, countless weapons fired away simultaneously. His battalion had the advantage of being at the South Warzone's training base, and they were going to make full use of it.
