Chapter 268: The Camera Always One Step Behind Him
Stunned!
Who could have thought that just by looking away for a moment, the non-specialist managed to eliminate thousands of mechanical monsters?
And crucially, due to some technical reason, the screen was showing video but no audio.
This led to all the viewers missing what was happening on the screen.
It didn't help that Shou Jingyuan was so flamboyant.
His words drew everyone's attention away.
"Oh my god..."
"How did he do it?"
At this moment, everyone was incredibly curious, their minds itching for answers.
"Wait, aren't these monsters mechanical constructs?"
Ba Meng, who had been silent, noticed a crucial detail on the screen.
"Yes, all the monsters in the Iron Fortress are mechanical constructs!"
An adventurer who had once attempted but failed to conquer the Iron Fortress confirmed.
"Then there's no mystery!"
"I know how he did it."
Ba Meng said with a complex expression.
He Chuan and Nine-Tailed Fox were also enlightened by this, their faces showing sudden realization.
But the audience remained perplexed, scratching their heads.
"Hey, can you hurry up and tell us how he did it?"
"Yeah, we're dying of curiosity here!"
"If you weren't stronger than me, I'd have slapped you already..."
"..."
Even the contestants from other countries were extremely curious.
They only knew about the terrifying power the non-specialist displayed at last night's banquet.
They understood this non-specialist was extraordinary.
But the problem was...
They still knew too little about his methods.
Ba Meng didn't expect to enjoy such a moment of attention.
He cleared his throat and coolly said,
"It's simple, he used one skill."
"That skill is 'Overload Transmission'!"
"Only this skill can instantly cause all mechanical constructs to collapse and die!"
Wow!!
The crowd burst into shocked exclamations.
But then they quickly questioned it.
A 21-level mechanic cautiously stepped forward, saying nervously,
"Are you sure about that? I remember 'Overload Transmission' is just a basic skill, right?"
"How could it affect these forty-plus-level mechanical constructs?"
Yeah...
'Overload Transmission' was just a basic skill!
And they remembered it only enhanced allied machines, right?
Ba Meng had anticipated their ignorance...
Actually, before his Destruction Lord was dismantled, he was also ignorant.
Until he met Ling Zhan, who completely defied logic.
"You wouldn't understand even if I explained. Just know he used a skill that can affect mechanical constructs."
Ba Meng waved dismissively.
"Huh? So this guy might have cleared the path to the boss?"
Someone speculated uncertainly.
Everyone: "..."
Damn!
It was possible!
"Receptionist!"
"Please switch the screen to the Iron Fortress boss location!"
Someone urgently asked the receptionist.
The receptionist was also curious about the non-specialist who had annihilated all the small monsters in the Iron Fortress.
So she quickly switched the screen to the final point of the Iron Fortress.
Which was the spire towering above the swirling dark clouds!
At the top of the spire was the Iron Fortress boss, the Iron Witch Winna!
As the camera locked onto the spire's summit,
the scene was finally revealed to everyone.
But...
"Damn! Still late!"
"No way! That's a level 50 gold-named boss! Can he affect that too?"
"Then we should bring some mechanics for future Iron Fortress raids?"
"Only mechanics above level 60 can affect these mechanical monsters! Do you think they'd join us lowly adventurers?"
"What about this non-specialist then?"
"He's an anomaly, don't compare yourself to him! Why don't you compare yourself to the Saint of the Holy Light Empire?"
"..."
Indeed...
The scene showed the giant witch, whose lower half was fused with the spire, lying on the ground, occasionally twitching, emitting thick black smoke.
Countless precise mechanical components had shattered.
Her scarlet mechanical eyes, capable of intense psychic interference, were now dim.
And the tall, proud figure was nowhere to be seen!
The camera was always one step behind him!
The non-specialist was using his actions to slap the faces of those who doubted him!
This time, without needing anyone to remind them,
the receptionist immediately switched the screen to the 43rd floor!
Meanwhile...
Nine-Tailed Fox chuckled, saying,
"Didn't someone swear they would intercept him?"
"If they don't leave now, they'll miss even the scraps!"
Swish!!
With one sentence,
she redirected everyone's attention to Shou Jingyuan.
Shou Jingyuan noticed that the looks from the crowd were no longer admiring.
Instead, they were filled with ridicule and mockery!
As if to say: after seeing this non-specialist's strange and terrifying methods, do you still have the confidence to intercept him?
Shou Jingyuan's face darkened, turning red with anger.
If "Eden" Guild didn't prohibit fighting in the hall,
he might have already launched a magic attack at them.
Despite his anger, he couldn't deny the anxiety in his heart!
After seeing the non-specialist's terrifying speed, he wanted to urge "Eden" Guild to hurry up!
Nine-Tailed Fox laughed, seeing Shou Jingyuan's darkened face.
In the special squad,
Shou Jingyuan always considered himself superior.
Although he was strong, he was arrogant and hostile to divine beasts.
Since he couldn't contract a divine beast, he often showed implicit dislike towards Nine-Tailed Fox.
Nine-Tailed Fox didn't bother with such narrow-minded people.
But now, given the chance to humiliate him, she wouldn't miss it.
However...
"Eden" Guild quickly arranged for a 75-level, third-turn assassin to follow and record!
