"Grrr! It sure is tough to withstand even our attack huh? I must say, impressive work! But be also aware there's more to our muscles than what you see! Everyone, one more time!"
" " " "Let's go!!" " " "
Disregarding the panic that ensued on the opposite side, Machos gave the fortress a hard stare, seemingly dissatisfied that it didn't go down from their earlier attack, and retreated 20 steps backward.
However, amidst all that, they didn't break out from their eleven-legged stance, and surprisingly, neither of them lost their balance even once. It was a surreal scenery to say the least.
Once they'd moved back enough, they took their stance to slam themselves against the fortress again.
Riyana's face, who confirmed the situation, turned completely white in horror.
"S-Stop them! Just do what you can, however stop them!! The base would be in danger if the fortress got taken down! Just keep attacking!!"
"But we're against that Muscle Roller!"
"Nooo, I will be trampled like an ant!"
"But we must! We can't let them attack any longer!"
"It will take us some moment to pluck our courage so you hurry up, boys!"
"No, no, what makes you think we can do anything?! Argh... damn it! I-I don't care what happens anymore! Oryaaaa!!"
At first, the pointed out member shook his head with a terror stricken expression, it was as if he was asked to do a kamikaze attack, but eventually rethinking that letting girls fight the Machos who barely had any clothing on their body would only increase the damage on their side, he decided to make the desperate attack.
"Taaake iiiit!!"
The boy lunged from the Macho's flank to avoid getting hit by their «Muscle Roller», however—
"Hmph!"
The member at the left edge of eleven-legged Machos formation harrumphed, and parried the sword attack with his well-developed biceps. Needless to say, the sword was flipped back without causing any damage to the muscles.
"Geehhh!?"
The swordsman grimaced as he staggered back.
Meanwhile, the rest of boys from the fortress were chasing after the swordsman to assist him, however their legs buckled when they saw the situation.
"Rejoice, everyone! It's the time to show our fascinating muscles!"
"Yes. Only we know how long we had waited to get this epic chance!"
"Watc, and then experience! The grandiose of muscles!"
Seeing the arrival of more force, Alan also changed their tactic and released their muscle union for the time being. Then, with Alan at the centre, the rest of the members gathered around him.
"Behold the pinnacle of muscles, its beauty! Buckle up for our secret training—"
" " " " "—«Mass Muscle Pose»!!!" " " " "
The five of Machos took a body-builders like pose and flaunted their muscles, intimidating their enemies.
"Rrrgh!?"
"W-What's happening, my body isn't moving!?"
"S-Save me!!"
"Eeeeek!"
All the boys who chanced upon this spectacle staggered on their steps, their legs refusing to move as their body trembled. The terror was further intensified with the fact that «Machos» were clearly smiling. In the eyes of boys, Machos appeared like a bloodthirsty demon from hell gloating at the prey.
And the unbelievable aspect of it, it wasn't a skill at all. Machos had been successful in inflicting terror with merely muscles flaunting.
"Haa!!"
"Eeekk!"
Each time Machos wriggled their muscles, a scream would erupt from among boys.
Despite the fortress having a majority advantage, the field was dominated by the «Machos».
No one took a lunge at those muscles.
Only god knows the state they would be in if they attack them.
What if they're captured, and jostled in those sweaty, burly limbs? *Shudder*
The outcome flashed back in the boys minds. They're sure all they'd return with was trauma. No, there wasn't even guarantee they could *return back.*
Just as everyone's gaze was glued on Machos, and the battlefield fell into a silent stalemate—appearing out of nowhere, the huge, shining swords attacked the fortress.
—*Booooom!!* *Bang*
"Kyaaa!?"
"W-what's happening?! Where do these light swords suddenly appear?"
"Where the heck attack came from?!"
"Oh, no! One of the members is eliminated!"
"It might be reinforcement! «Scouting Sense»!"
The sudden appearance of four, giant swords pushed the girls into dumbfoundment as they saw the HP of fortress rapidly dwindling. Their scout promptly activated their skill to look for the enemy, but found no reaction.
"Commander Riyana! I'm not catching anyone with my skill! Reinforcement is unable to be spotted!"
"Huuh, how can it be possible?!"
With the damage caused by the giant swords, it was apparent the attack had retained its might, and that means the enemy had to be in the same square, irrespective if they're hiding themselves. However neither with naked eyes, nor with skill, they spotted that enemy.
But waiting for no one, the situation on the battlefield advances amidst the chaos.
With their attention being split into fortress and Machos, the boys panicked.
"Hey, what the hell can we do here!?"
"Alright, tell me what to do? Machos, or the hidden enemy?!"
"What in the world Scout is doing?!"
As the chaos ensues, Celestine strike down from the shadow.
"The situation may indeed throw your sense off, but you're wide open. —«Straight Punch»!"
"Wha—gaahhh!?"
One of the boys received Celestine's attack head-on. The attack blew him away as he crashed onto the fortress wall, and fell into Down status.
Everyone's attention had been so occupied by the Machos at front they failed to notice lurking Celestine, and that ended up biting them back.
The group of boys had barely gathered their will to fight Machos, but this happening scattered all their courage, and put them into confusion. Celestine was someone who would perfectly achieve Zephyr's command.
"What?!"
"H-Help me! I am scared of muscles!!"
"—«Hand Chop»! More to go eh, «Knocking»!"
"!! Rgh, p-paralysis!?"
"Calm down, everyone! Calm down. Only then you can fight!"
"It's remarkable that you can handle yourself amidst the chaos. However, you failed to cover up your defense. —«Fist of the Butler»!"
"Gyaaah!?"
Celestine crashed into the group and easily disrupted the boys' group. Well, given the number of opponents, it was hard to retire them, however that wasn't his goal.
Celestine entrance had snatched away the attention of everyone from Machos, and needless to say, the voice of nightmare echoed in the ears of boys.
"Muscle!"
—Thwack.
"Muscles!"
—Thwack.
" " " " "Muscle Roller!!" " " " "
Hearing the dreadful shout, the boys had just turned around to look, but it was too late.
Machos were about to crash onto fortress for the second time.
"N-no, wait. I mean, just hold on, please. Seriously!"
"Atleast watch out for the poor souls that's on your path!"
"Anyway, just stop! Protect the fortress, everyone!"
As it happened, the boys pushed into 'faint' or 'paralysis' state by Celestine happened to fall in the line of attack as Machos.
If this continues, the fallen members would be trampled by the «Machos Rollers», so the boys hurried up and shot down their attack at Machos. The girls from the fortress also contributed to this, however there was no stopping Machos.
Within just ten steps, «Machos» eleven-legged formation gained its peak momentum.
"Eeek, I-I can't anymore—"
Since neither were able to stop Machos, boys switched to their second best option available; moving to the safe spot. They hurriedly dived sideways to move onto the safety zone. seaʀᴄh thё NovelZone.fun website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
But some had lagged behind in their escape, and ultimately, 3 of their members were made to retire.
"Damn, does anything work at all?! Hold on to something, everyoneeee!!"
Riyana saw the situation and tightly held to the guard rail. And a moment later, Machos crashed onto fortress.
—*Crash.*
An impact ran through the fortress, and to make matters worse, the shining swords once again appeared out of thin air and they, too, targeted the base.
And with the accumulation of damage, the fortress's HP bar was now dropped to 50%.
