When Vanessa threw one of the objects his way, Max slammed his left hammer down on it. It could be poison or a curse or whatever better be safe than sorry. 'THERE!'
*SHIIIIIIIING*
Contrary to what the overlord expected the explosion didn't happen, instead a bone-chilling noise made his ears go numb like tinnitus. 'SHIT! WHAT THE HELL IS THIS!'
His eyes still couldn't see and now he started to go deaf, his left eardrum ruptured from the sound. Before he could react, his foot suddenly raised. 'What?'
"[RAISE EARTH]!"
Focusing on his footing the man tried to keep himself upright; suddenly he sensed something aimed at his chest.
"FALL!" Raylene roared as she threw her great sword like a javelin. It smashed toward Max's armor due to him being caught off guard. The blow of course couldn't damage him, but the attack wasn't made to harm; only to nudge.
On its own, the push screamed uselessness. But when off balance the tap fulfilled its purpose. Max started to fall due to the weight of his body and the hammers working against him.
Concentrating on not falling Max tried to regain his footing, however, a ball-like object then smashed into his remaining good ear. The ringing from the first sonic grenade hadn't even disappeared yet. Thus, Max despite his overwhelming senses couldn't even pay attention.
*SHIIIIIINGGGGGGGGG*
The sonic grenade exploded upon hitting his ear; unlike the one he smashed with a hammer, the second one made a scream close to four times louder.
"AHHHHHH!!!!!!!"
The sound and white noise were enough to drive most people insane. For people who had 1000 times the hearing of an average man, it became pure torture. The Crimson warlord dropped his hammers as he tried to cover his ears.
He knew these weaklings couldn't hurt him, so just he needed to calm down first. Maximillian already felt his vision returning. Given enough time most of his injuries disappear. Subs usually followed conventional tactics in battle, thus matches boiled down to stat and skill differences.
Max who dueled mercenaries and scoundrels, eventually learned dirty tactics such as feints, tricks, and sleight of hand, but none of them prepared him for this.
"[RAISE EARTH]!"
Max felt that the ground beneath his feet suddenly become uneven. As a precaution, he then leaped into the air in a defensive position. More than ten bolts suddenly assailed his eyes, nose, ears, and mouth.
Like AGI, STR came with the added benefit of increasing the durability of skin and bone. Therefore, past a sudden point, those blessed by the system would be akin to superheroes just from the benefits of increased stats. Many had skin tougher than stone and bones stronger than steel.
"RAYLENE! NOW PLEASE!" The maid who finished her preparations called for her ally.
Max who was about to open his eyes had fury and anger in his heart. 'Just wait you whores, I will rip your bodies apart to the point there would be nothing to bury!'
As his sight returned the crimson overlord then tried to find the little girls fighting him. As he searched only the small mummy was half kneeling on the floor with her hand outstretched. Her face looked towards Max as her shadow-like eyes were wriggling like black flames.
"We win. [Increase Weight]!"
Max, who just had his left ear healed, now heard the rustling of clothes above him. As he looked up he found the corpse and maid each guiding one of his hammers down in full force.
'What?! How can these weaklings even lift them?! Those hammers need an STR of over five thousand!'
Unknown to Max, after he smashed the first sonic grenade. The girls all started to shout at each other.
"WE NEED TO HIT HIM WITH THE HAMMERS! HELP ME PLEASE!"
"HOW?! HAMMERS HEAVY!"
"I GOT IT! RAISE THE GROUND! MOST HEAVY WEAPONS ARE ENCHANTED TO STOP AT THE GROUND!"
"OKAY! I RAISE GROUND TO SKY!"
"UNDERSTOOD! RAYLENE, WE EACH WILL RIDE THE MAGIC TO THE SKY AND SMASH HIM DOWN! PLEASE DON'T MISS THE TIMING!"
"OKAY! THIS WILL WORK! GRAVITY WILL DO THE REST! WE NEED HIM UP THE AIR TOO!"
"MAKE HIM TRIP. ARROGANT. WILL JUMP IF REPEATED."
"OKAY! LET'S GO!"
Each of the hammers weighed close to fifty tonnes, the wonders of magic allowed [Raise Earth] to negate weight so long as enough mana carried it forward. When the mana stopped, the earth would lose its form and fall back to the ground. The application while rudimentary emptied Jade's reserves, but not before she used [Increased Weight] on both hammers.
[Increased Weight] had one purpose increase the weight of an object by 50% regardless of size. Thus, both hammers now weighed in at a whopping seventy-five tonnes. It could be said that only the weak would think of such an insane way to fight and these three naturally weak women knew that the best.
The roars of the two in the sky echoed throughout the entire city as they challenged the impossible.
"SMASH HIM DOWN!" x2
Max crossed his arms as invoked his defense skills seconds before the hammers stuck him. Even if the ones swinging the hammers were weak, gravity would make them fall no matter what. The girls only needed to aim at Max. Thus it was more accurate to call them meteors.
The twin hammers Max's favorite weapons were blunt instruments that had only two features. They negated all defenses and weighed enough to destroy even forts when swung. His fighting style revolved around using their abilities to do the fighting for him. This allowed him to battle for extremely long periods which gained him his moniker crimson overlord.
Now on the receiving end of the same attack, he knew best how much this would hurt. In his mind, after he recovered Max vowed to smash these bitches to paste.
*BAMMMMMMMM!*
Timed perfectly both hammers slammed against Max's shoulders at the same moment. The man's defenses broke due to the enchantment of the hammers. His arms, bones and all shattered under the weight. The force of the blows sent shock waves into his insides and caused a large majority of his internal organs to rupture and burst.
Raylene and Vanessa who couldn't fly rode the hammers toward the ground. This allowed them to get as close to the ground before jumping. The weapons continued to press against Max's body as they fell. His muscles were all being ripped apart due to the pain and pressure, blood exited his mouth in critical amounts as his insides went through hell.
When they were about to collide to the ground, Raylene picked up Vanessa and leaped towards Jade. They both slammed into the ground and did combat rolls to try to minimize the impact. Max who was pinned with his mighty weapons crashed toward the ground with such force the land experienced violent earthquakes.
