The Mech Touch novel Chapter 7335

Chapter 7335: Ves and the Dark Apostle Take Action

The Ixith Goliath fought virtually alone against all of the remaining human defenders of Philaster Crestia.

This was not much of an exaggeration.

While the Goliath Hive still dispatched a handful of scattered voribug swarms to provide assistance, the Level 8 Goliath did not necessarily need the help.

Whether it was regenerating from damage to destroying the major orbital fortifications that represented the Rubarthan Pact’s hold on this star system, the spawn of the Incubator performed as if it could do everything by itself!

What disappointed people the most was the ineffectual performance of the Ascended Giants.

Despite their rare and coveted superdimensional arms and armor, their results so far proved disappointing!

"These giants aren’t big enough! They keep getting smacked around by the big Goliath."

"If not for their supertough armor, the Goliath would have cut them into slices already."

"Can’t these giants do anything right?!"

The Ascended Giants previously performed pretty well when matched against an equal or slightly greater number of Level 7 or lower Goliaths.

Yet when faced with a much more powerful and remarkable Level 8 Goliath, their many shortcomings became exposed.

Their short elevation to their current life state left them with very little time to develop their true bodies.

Their superior scale should have been their decisive advantage in battle, yet when faced with an even larger and more massive adversary, the giants themselves fell victim to their own weapon!

However, their professionalism and their courage prevented them from giving up. They gritted their teeth and sought to undermine the large and monstrous Goliath as best as possible.

There was not much they could do, though.

Their spatial abilities proved too meager to harm or inhibit the Ixith Goliath.

Their plasma weapons lacked the resonance empowerment to neutralize the resonance empowerment that made his enormous body so resistant against damage.

The only weapons that proved reasonably effective were the mid-grade superdimensional weapons in their hands.

Superdimensional armaments happened to be the only known equipment that could effectively cleave through willpower manifestations.

Nobody understood the principles why this was the case, but right now a lot of people were grateful that they existed!

The Ascended Giants might not be large enough to confront the Ixith Goliath head-on, but they had numbers on their side.

They paired up and made sure to assault the alien entity from multiple directions.

This way, even if the Ixith Goliath managed to claw the giants in front of it away, other giants were able to assault the enemy from other sides.

"Do not blindly damage the shells! Focus your attacks on the joints! If we can cut off its limbs, its threat level will drop."

Every Ur-Titan already got smacked a few times, but they bravely went back in order to fulfill their objective.

Their superdimensional halberds continued to cut at the joints and the shells around it. Their blades did not smoothly slice through all of the tough organic matter, but their effectiveness was just good enough to create substantial weak points with every strike.

If only the Ur-Titans and their weapons were larger.

Their 2.5x scale was still too small to cut deeper into the shells and flesh of the enemy Level 8 Goliath.

The giants had to rely on the ranged attacks from other friendly units to exploit the openings and force the Ixith Goliath to exert more power into regenerating its form.

This disappointed them. The Ixith Goliath possessed no strong weak points.

Even its joints were much thicker and harder to break due to their large size and dimensions. It was absolutely not simple to sever them and cut off the enemy’s limbs.

Furthermore, the Level 8 Goliath was not a dummy.

As the Ur-Titans hacked and slashed at the joints with single-minded fervor, the Ixith Goliath began to take the armored humanoids more seriously!

Compared to the ace mechs who proved too fast to hit with any reliability, the Ur-Titans were much easier to strike!

They were larger and more sluggish. The Ixith Goliath struck so fast that it was nearly impossible for the giants to evade the incoming claws.

The situation of the Ur-Titans steadily became more precarious as a result.

Each of their raiments already showed numerous large grooves. The patterns thankfully did not overlap. The giants in question made sure of that as they always tried to turn their bodies at the last second so that they could spread out the damage.

The more the enemy claws struck the undamaged sections of their raiments, the longer they could rely on its protection!

Still, everyone knew that there was a limit to this measure.

After a period of observation, the Dark Apostle finally made his move.

He had moved close enough to gain the measure of his target, but maintained just enough distance to escape the frenzy of the ongoing struggle.

Ves and the Dark Apostle did this in order to determine where they could do the most damage.

Attacking blindly and without direction would only cause them to waste their time and resources in vain.

If they wanted to achieve a better result than their subordinates, then they needed to fight intelligently.

"Do you think we should target the joints in the hopes of severing the limbs?"

"No." Ves responded. "We are different from the other giants. Our raiment is made of superior superdimensional matter, so we don’t have as much to fear from the resonance-empowered claws. Besides, I don’t think it is difficult for the Ixith Goliath to regenerate its limbs. If we want to beat this enemy, we need to target the roots of its power."

"Are you talking about the Mentalist Crystal? It will be difficult to dislodge it since it is buried right into the center of its body."

"It is not the stolen resonance produced by the Mentalist Crystal that is causing our side to experience so many difficulties. The Ixith Goliath’s monstrous vitality is another source of power. Its body is so massive and filled with the power of life that exhausting it is far too difficult. I think we can make a contribution in this area."

"I’m not as big of a thinker as you. Please tell me straight. What do I need to target?"

"The body. Just the body. Focus on damaging as much of the biomass as possible. We are going for magnitude here. You need to attack a large amount of flesh and force the Goliath to regenerate much more of its body than now. Meanwhile, I will use your weapon as the medium to spread the withering curse as far as possible. I will be devoting my full concentration on facilitating the latter process. Both of us need to excel at what we do best."
