The Steel Giant Puppet swiftly turned and swung back, even the gust of wind produced by its motion caused Berto's body to lean back slightly, the force was unbelievably terrifying.

He rolled to dodge the giant axe swinging horizontally but deliberately left an opening to lure the Steel Giant Puppet's palm towards him. At this moment, both of its arms were in the midst of recovering from exertion and hadn't yet released a second attack.

"Watch me."

Tami's figure suddenly appeared, instantly landing on the shoulder of the Steel Giant Puppet, holding a lit Black Flame Pot in his hand.

He was also surrounded by Wind Element, enhanced by Luluwo, allowing his movement speed to be completely adequate.

"Taste this!"

He threw the Black Flame Pot into the gap of the Steel Giant Puppet Helmet, and in the next second, a muffled explosion echoed through the air, and choking smoke billowed out from the helmet's seams and joints.

Clearly, the attack successfully exploded!

The Steel Giant Puppet's body paused, and Tami took advantage of its stiffness to pull out a hand-hammer, fiercely striking the joint at what should be the neck.

A qualified adventurer must learn to be greedy, using every opportunity to hit the monster more!

But—

"Something's wrong, get out of the way quickly!" Luluwo's shout rang in Tami's ear.

"Huh?"

A shadow enveloped Tami, and he leaped to the side without even turning his head, not considering whether there was a cliff next to him.

"Boom!"

In the next second, the Steel Giant Puppet's massive hand slammed onto the shoulder armor, causing the entire path to tremble. Stones immediately tumbled down from the cracked edges.

"After experiencing such a violent internal explosion, it just paused for a moment?" Berto, who was the closest, clicked his tongue.

Luluwo's face was also full of surprise; she didn't expect the Steel Giant Puppet to be so hard to deal with internally. The thick and heavy outer shell couldn't be penetrated, but why was the inside also so explosion-resistant?

Her eyes suddenly sharpened as Luluwo noticed a blind spot.

The only answer was that the body of this Boss Monster was completely hollow! It was a pure puppet, used only in Sain Ancient City to deliver the final trial for those who came!

"Damn it, this becomes troublesome." She gritted her teeth.

The Steel Giant Puppet's exterior was heavy enough that their series of attacks just left a few dents on its armor, which at best could be described as "wear" rather than "injury".

The feeling of fighting a monster like scraping a massage had returned.

The initial thought of taking a shortcut by injuring the Steel Giant Puppet's internal operator with a Flame Pot was thwarted; the opponent was just an empty shell. What to do now?

Luluwo recalled their victory against the Curse Binder... What did they do back then? Damn, she couldn't remember!

"I'm okay, just need some time to climb back up!"

Tami's voice came from below the cliff, sounding as if it would take a while to climb back up, but it was good enough that he hadn't fallen to his death.

The Steel Giant Puppet launched an attack toward the nearest Berto, and the top floor of Sain Ancient City resumed its trembling with its every movement.

Luluwo glanced at the situation in front of her, thought for a moment, and quickly made a judgment.

To deal enough damage, they still needed to attack the Steel Giant Puppet's interior! 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

After all, the impact from hammering the armor outside wasn't enough to slow it down, but tossing a Flame Pot inside at least paused the Steel Giant Puppet, indicating it could take damage.

She quickly constructed a plan in her mind to attack using the Flame Pot, which seemed feasible, but the problem was the limited number of Flame Pots they had.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have wasted so many on the Snake-men... Berto, let's use Tami's strategy!"

She shouted at Berto, who responded with a nod in this deadly environment, seeking opportunities amidst the powerful attacks.

But there was no opportunity to be found!

The menacing Steel Giant Puppet's every move could disrupt actions just with its wind pressure. Facing it directly, each strike brought an overwhelming sense of killing intent, not something that sheer will could withstand. Just dodging it for a while left Berto mentally exhausted.

The Steel Giant Puppet didn't have the Fran Undead Team's tricky and vicious movement techniques, but it excelled in harnessing brute strength to its fullest.

So far, none of the Boss Monsters in Scameroon were easy to deal with.

It was only because Berto was skilled in speed, supplemented by Luluwo's support, that he could temporarily maneuver against the Steel Giant Puppet in the narrow battlefield environment. In a wider confrontation, increasing their numbers wouldn't help since they couldn't leverage their limited space and would likely fall off the cliff.

This didn't mean reducing their numbers was the best strategy either, as that would make the damage inconsequential.

It was truly a tough challenge.

At that moment, Tami finally climbed back up from the cliff.

He climbed up and, taking advantage of the Steel Giant Puppet's inattention, slapped a torn Magic Scroll on its foot, causing the surrounding temperature to drop sharply the next moment, as thick ice formed on the puppet's left foot.

It easily broke free of the ice with a raised leg, but the Ice Magic impeded its movement somewhat, allowing Berto to seize the moment to throw the Flame Pot high.

The Steel Giant Puppet turned to face him just in time, and with a "clang", the Flame Pot hit the target!

"Boom!"

The violent explosion once again caused the Steel Giant Puppet's body to pause. Tami smartened up this time, quickly cramming all sorts of Magic Scrolls into the joint gaps, disregarding any except the Healing Scrolls.

A variety of magical effects began a strange chemical reaction inside the Steel Giant Puppet, though such tricks ordinarily fatal to most creatures only managed to slightly slow it down.

As it appeared to be a great opportunity, Luluwo, who hadn't acted for a long time, suddenly shouted.

"Bastard, look this way!"

This unpretentious taunt was infused with magic power, thus qualifying as a kind of magic to attract enemies, and the Steel Giant Puppet immediately turned its head towards her.

Floating around Luluwo were a series of explosives, including Flame Pots, reminiscent of the King's Treasure.

The assortment of scrolls Tami had thrown earlier levered this opportunity for simultaneous effect, causing a burst of varied results!

Dense plants sprouted from the left leg joint, ice spread outward from the right leg joint, and crackling thunder circled the torso...

The Steel Giant Puppet experienced its longest pause, and Luluwo seized the chance, throwing the "basketball" in her hand towards it.

A variety of explosives flooded into the Steel Giant Puppet through the helmet gap in rapid succession until it was nearly full as it turned its head with all its might.

"Boom!"

A tremendous explosion erupted, smoke billowing furiously from every joint gap, and the towering shoulders drooped as if it were a broken puppet!

"We did it, yeah!" Tami cheered, raising both hands.

"Wait, don't celebrate too early."

Luluwo stared at the Steel Giant Puppet, taking a sharp breath.

Why was the opponent's armor gradually turning red?

The first thing to rule out was overheating!
