Chapter 462 461: A Pathetic Bunch.

"Asmond, here. You haven't eaten properly for the past two days," Roxanne said as she sat down next to Asmond who was daydreaming on a temporary frontline base. She offered him a mashed potato with sausage.

"I'm not that hungry. I had a chocolate bar this morning," Asmond answered as he sipped a cup of coffee. "To be honest, I don't have any appetite," Asmond looked so gloomy as he stared at his armor boots.

Roxanne shrugged her mouth and decided to eat Asmond's food without hesitation. She enjoyed the food as she accompanied him by just being there with him.

Four jet fighters flew right above them, and they both looked at them going to District 4. District 4 had become an aerial battle against the Insatiable Flies. It had been four days since the breakout started, and it had been confirmed there were at least three hundred flies there.

"Just focus on what's in front of us. You can think about other things later," Roxanne cut the sausage with the fork. "Those giant are going to be awake soon, so at least grab something to eat before that," Roxanne scooped the mash and the sausage then chomped a mouthful of it.

Behemoth's army, Giant Stampede. A giant 15 meters tall demon with tusks rather than horns on their heads, and their legs were like a mammoth that was big enough to flattened a tank in a single stomp.

Although they were really strong, they had no brains to use. They went around and rampaged the city without a plan except to destroy it. They also had a really weird habit that they would go to sleep when the moon rose.

One thing that they didn't know was when those giants decided to sleep, they didn't want to be bothered. Asmond and the others made a mistake and decided to attack them when they were asleep. They realized when the giants became enraged as soon as they woke up. The giants became three times stronger and faster, and destroyed the whole city in a single night.

The Fraternity Association managed to push the giants back after realizing that. It was also a good thing that the giants decided to sleep at night no matter what kind of situation they were in. They knew it would be possible to win against those giants if they played their cards carefully.

The two of them were silently enjoying their peaceful time before the battle. Suddenly, a notification appeared in front of them.

[The 80th floor of the Asmodeus Tower has been cleared by [The Guild Association]]

[All the Constellations are overjoyed with their achievements]

"They have been clearing the tower, and what are we doing here?" Asmond asked with a pitiful smile. "We can't even protect our own people from the breakout ourselves," Asmond looked down and looked depressed.

"Stop it. Didn't I just tell you to focus on what's in front of us?" Roxanne said as she sighed and lost her appetite. "Fuck, Asmond. How the fuck did you manage to go this far with that kind of mentality?" Roxanne stood up and she looked a bit pissed. She didn't wait nor want an answer, so she left to avoid unnecessary arguments.

Asmond didn't dare to look at Roxanne and all he could mumble was "I'm sorry,"

One of the giants woke up and started roaring like a morning alarm to wake the others. There used to be a hundred of them, but there were only dozens of them left.

The fighter jets came in and bombarded the giants before they could make a move. Asmond and his teams were watching from the top of the building and waited to see which one of the giants took the most damage. It would be easier to defeat them by killing the wounded one first.

"Over there! Nine o'clock!" Glen shouted as he pointed at the giant that collapsed from the bombardment.

"Let's go!" Asmond shouted as he jumped from building to building.

They all followed Asmond from behind, and Roxanne felt bad for saying those things to him back then. She knew he looked pathetic, but she realized that if she was in his position, she might be the same. Not to mention, the reason why Asmond had been struggling was that his team was holding him back from growing.

Asmond and his team started to immobilize the giant by cutting their achilles heels and axillary nerves in the armpits. Once they managed to cut a total of four spots, the giant couldn't move much.

Although the giants had regeneration ability, they didn't have the brain to use it. The giant didn't bother to stop and let the wounds heal first and kept swinging his arms and legs. It only made the wounds much worse that the regeneration ability couldn't keep up with the severe damage he put on himself.

Asmond did the final blow and cut off the giant's head when he collapsed. He didn't stop to look at the XP he got from killing the giant, he went straight to the top of the building. He looked at the giant around him and found the next easy target for them to kill.

"One o'clock! Let's go!" Asmond looked down at his team as he pointed at the giant who was on his knees.

They kept doing the same method and did it carefully until the sun was setting. They all rested on the roof top as they saw the orange sky slowly turn dark.

"It's a shame. there are four of them left, but the sun has gone down," Rufus said as he stared blankly into the distance. "I can't wait to see Keysha," Rufus smiled.

"Aren't you mad that she decided to move to District One?" Silas asked.

"No, it's quite the opposite. I'm glad that she moved there, it's safe and the job opportunity is also great there," Rufus answered. "I'm not stupid enough to let her life depend on us the Fraternity Association," Rufus scoffed.

Roxanne wanted to punch him in the face, but he wasn't wrong and agreed with him. It surprised Rufus that none of them complained about his rudeness.

"Pathetic," Rufus chuckled.

"To whom you pointed that word?" Roxanne glanced at him.

"All of you, me, our association," Rufus answered as he sighed. "People are supporting us, but are they really though? Even if they do, does it even matter? Their words of encouragement mean nothing," Rufus continued.

"Even so, do you want to lick your own spit?" Roxanne asked.

"Fuck no. I'm just saying that we need to push ourselves beyond our limits. Once this is over, we have to become stronger, strong enough to handle this situation like how they did," Rufus answered as he stood up. "Fuck the association Asmond. There's no need to deal with office work and just get stronger with us," Rufus looked at Asmond.

"I wish I can, but that would be impossible. I'll try to find someone that can do it in my stead, but that might take time though," Asmond answered, and he still looked depressed for some reason.

"Leave it to us! We will force someone to take your place," Rufus said with confidence.

"Sure, good luck with that," Asmond chuckled and his expression brightened in an instant. "Anyway, let's rest for the night. Our fight is still long from over," Asmond stood up and went to the base.

The morning came and the fighter jets came again after the giants woke up. They did the same thing as yesterday, and when they killed the last giant, they felt a mild earthquake come from the tower.

They all hurriedly ran to the Behemoth Tower to look at what made the ground shake. When they arrived in front of the gate, they were surprised to see a giant that was twice the size of the other giants. Not only that, the giant looked scarier because it looked like a mammoth.

"This one is bad, huh?" Sven asked. "More importantly, where the fuck is this demon coming from? The tower gate isn't that big to fit his body," Sven looked at the giant mammoth standing tall with his trunk waving left and right.

"Don't worry too much about it, we have air support, a lot of them as well," Glen said as he looked up and saw the fighter jets coming toward them. "Let them handle this demon first! Let's leave!" Glen continued as he turned around and then ran away from the tower.

The fighter jets didn't hesitate to shoot the missiles and the bombs they brought at the mammoth. A whole squadron of fighter jets came and did the same thing until they couldn't see the mammoth anymore because of the thick dust and smoke.

"Holy shit, that's the scariest thing I have ever seen from the military," Silas said as he watched the smoke go up high into the sky.

The clouds started to disperse and disappear, and then they could see the mammoth behind the thin smoke.

"No fucking way... That thing is still standing?!" Roxanne looked at the mammoth and tried to move even though his whole body was wounded.

"At least he's heavily injured, right?" Glen forced his smile.

All the visible wounds on a mammoth's body suddenly heal. Asmond and the others looked at Glen with their eyes squinted.

"I guess I jinxed it," Glen chuckled nervously.
