After experiencing quite a few "firsts" recently, Minerva thought she had grown numb to words like "shock" and "impact." However, after witnessing the bizarre and brutal nature of the Hetzer, she was still caught off guard.
The corpse-like puppet had no fear of death, was immune to swords and magic, and was agile and fast like a prowling beast. It made the most of every weapon in its hands, slaughtering its enemies- It was as though the concept of a "human-shaped weapon" had been pulled straight from a nightmare into reality.
"What...what exactly is that thing?"
Unable to restrain her curiosity, Minerva blurted out her question. The young man running ahead of her replied calmly:
"As you can see, it's a special weapon designed for suppression."
"Special weapon? You call that a weapon?"
"Yes, just like a war dog or a war horse. It's a living weapon meant to be wielded by humans on the battlefield."
