Slowly but steadily, the monster continued to march forward despite the constant shooting of the pesky humans.

It would occasionally kick one of its legs into the ground, creating mass destruction.

Burning houses and corpses could be seen all over the place, loud screams and piercing voices of crying children filled the air amidst the loud sounds caused by the moment of the monster.

Click!

The leader suddenly stopped and took out a small tub from the pocket on his belt before inserting it into the laser guns and shooting again.

Dan! Dan! Dan!

White laser beams flew toward the monster's leg before exploding into a mist of cold air that quickly spread across the leg of the monster, freezing it in place.

Dan! Dan! Dan!

The other two followed the actions of their leader and quickly switched the tubs in their guns before shooting similar laser beams that formed into ice wherever they touched.

Soon, the two front legs of the monster were covered in a thick layer of ice and it came to a stop once more.

But it was only for a second.

Craaaacckkkk!

With a loud sound, the ice around the legs shattered into tiny fragments and the legs of the monster kicked into the ground again.

The three of them quickly took cover from the wave of destruction; screams of unfortunate people could be heard; the destruction from the kick could travel for hundreds of meters, so it was inevitable for some unlucky people to suffer.

"Damnit! How long do we have to face this thing? We'll die sooner or later at this rate!" One of the men cursed while trembling.

They were simply enjoying a quiet afternoon at their post and reminiscing about life; who would have thought that such a horror would suddenly pop out from nowhere?

"We don't know, just keep shooting at it!" Their leader yelled back through gritted teeth.

They suddenly heard the monster letting out a furious roar before coming to a stop.

They all peeked out their heads to look, and their eyes immediately lit up; in the air, in front of the enormous head of the monster, was a person in a black uniform. He wasn't wearing a protective suit like them, which was usually the case when going into battle, but they did not dare to underestimate this person.

To be able to stand in the air and in front of such a fearsome monster like that took just more than courage.

This person was, of course, Nathan, who had rushed here after leaving the tower. As a Nexulyte with a teleportation talent, he was able to cross dozens of kilometers within seconds; this enabled him to arrive here in less than five minutes after leaving the tower.

"A Titan beetle, how rare" Nathan muttered as a strange light flashed through his eyes.

The monster suddenly opened its mouth, and a small energy bomb quickly began to form before growing into the side of an elephant; it aimed the energy bomb at Nathan, who was in the air.

Nathan looked at this without a change of expression, he glanced behind him through the corner of his eyes.

Avoiding this energy bomb was not a problem for him since he could just teleport away but everything behind him would be done for.

"Tch, so stressful" Nathan sighed before suddenly launching himself towards the mouth of the monster before the latter could release its energy bomb.

He arrived before the monster like a phantom before sending a full-powered punch to the side of its mouth.

A scene that left the three men who were standing on the ground to freeze in place like statues unfolded.

Upon receiving the punch…the monster could be mistaken for a small mountain if it rested on the ground, rose into the air, and was sent flying away, causing a series of deafening sounds and creating a huge crack in the ground.

"Such touch skin, killing it won't be easy," Nathan said casually while rubbing his wrist.

The three men "..."

They knew that this person was strong but to be able to send the huge monster flying with just one punch…just how strong was the person sent by the Tower?

Not bothering with whatever else was going on around him, Nathan focused all of his attention on the monster that had landed over two hundred meters back and had successfully left the area of residents.

A huge explosive sound rang out when it landed on the ground, and a huge cloud of dust and dirt was sent flying into the air.

Upon making contact with the face of the monster just now, Nathan had already concluded that he would be unable to kill it on his own; he wasn't a combat-type Nexulyte, to begin with, and didn't possess the destructive powers equivalent to deal with such a monster. The skin on its face felt like hard reinforced steel when he punched it just now.

He would expand his Nexus sea if he wanted to tear through it with brute force, and that wasn't even guaranteed to work.

"But holding it back before the others arrive should not be a problem," Nathan mumbled; this was what the tower master had sent him to do anyway.

The monster landed right outside the border, a vast space with signs of battles. Huge craters and trenches marked the border, only a few kilometers away could one see the tall trees of a forest.

"With such a large open space, how did this thing get here without being spotted?" Nathan could not help but wonder as he glanced at the three men on the ground with narrowed eyes.

These people were definitely not taking this work seriously.

Buzz! Buzz!!

Nathan quickly turned around as a strange noise attracted his attention to the direction the monster had landed, a look of disbelief appeared on his face the next second.

After getting sent flying away, the monster landed on its long legs and lowered itself as if a bug preparing to make a jump, but this wasn't what turned Nathan's expression ghastly.

The back of the monster spread open and four large transparent wings appeared before starting to make buzzing noises, flapping at a speed that Nathan could not even follow.

But the main concern was…this thing was able to fly!

"Titan beetles might have features of bugs but they do not possess flight abilities due to their size!" Nathan voiced out with a perplexed expression on his face, his confusion was cleared in the next second.

Wang!!!

Like an arrow, the enormous monster that rivaled the size of an air carrier shot through the air at a crazy speed toward Nathan.

The latter's eyes widened, and he immediately tried to teleport away.

BOOM!!

The speed of the Titan beetle surpassed Nathan's speculation and it still ended up crashing into him with its large head before he could teleport away.

Wang! BOOM!!

Nathan vanished a moment later but due to getting hit by the monster, he ended up flying away on controllably when he reappeared. A series of explosions resounded as Nathan was sent crashing into a building like a cannonball.

The three Nexulytes who were watching from the ground "..."

New horror unlocked! Not only was this damned monster so huge and tough, it could fly and at such a diabolic speed at that!

"It's over" one of the men gasped and fell like a deflated balloon.
