The guards and the Female Captain, Ivona already finished the evacuation of the citizens. The guards already predicted that the horde will arrive in just a few minutes but it's already 30 minutes and the horde has yet to arrive.

"Are you sure the horde is already approaching the town and will arrive in just a few minutes left? How many minutes are we even talking about? It's already been half an hour and yet the horde you are talking about is not yet here. Are you somewhat doing a joke or something, scout?"

"There is no way I would be mistaken, Captain. I already estimated their distance while I was on guard duty before I reported and conducted an evacuation," the scout said.

"Then how come there are no sightings of the horde breaking in the village?"

"Ah, I think "that" guy earlier has something to do with it."

"What? "That" guy?" Captain Ivona furrowed her eyebrows.

"Yes, Captain. Someone asked me earlier what is happening and when I told him about it, he immediately rushes towards the direction where the horde was. I tried to stop him but he sprinted quickly and I have no choice but to continue the evacuation than to follow him."

Captain Ivona grips her sword and her gun tightly as she decided to declare a command.

"Follow me and bring the mortars and siege cannons. We will be meeting up with the horde head-on and if you see a monster coming straight to the village, shoot it without hesitation!"

"YES SIR!"

...

...

While the soldiers and the captain are ready to face what danger was currently threatening the village, Atlas and I are enjoying our new toy, the One-Eyed Giant, Moro who is now kneeling on the ground while he no longer has his two arms. His left leg has been also dismembered by Atlas and the only functional leg left behind is his right leg that has been bombarded with cannonballs by my Versatile Weapon in the cannon form.

Moro still has 3 full HP bar out of the 5 HP bars he has when he started fighting against me and activated his berserk form.

"HOW DARE YOU DO THIS TO THE GREAT MORO!" Moro growled as he tried his best to remain up from the ground while using his right leg to support himself.

"It just sucks to be you, giant charcoal meeting my master. Also, I didn't expect doing this slow torture to be somewhat getting fun!" Atlas said and stabs the leg of Moro with his sword causing the roar of Moro to echo loudly that it is producing a very weak shockwave.

Atlas continues to stab Moro's remaining leg until it separated from his body and he fell facefirst to the ground, creating a mini Earthquake around the vicinity. I didn't waste the opportunity and destroyed his dismembered leg, leaving his torso alone.

"I WILL NOT FORGIVE YOU HUMANS FOR CAUSING MY WHOLE BODY TO FEEL PAINNNN! IF YOU WANT ME DEAD, I WILL DRAG YOU ALL WITH ME!"

Moro screamed and I quickly notice the changes in Moro's body heat and the flames on his body started to boil and it seemingly releases a very deadly liquid. It looks like his blood has been transformed into lava.

"Atlas! He is going to erupt! Get back!"

Atlas was quick and appeared beside me. As soon as I see him arrive next to me, I change my cannon and changed it to a spear and shield and slam down the shield right in front of me. I also pull out a bottle of Advance Mana Potion and bit its cork to open it before firmly holding the shield and cast a skill.

"[Domain of the Shield]!"

VOOOOOMMMMM!

My shield glows and it duplicates itself, creating a domain of shields around us. It surrounded us with multiple transparent shields and covered the whole area around us.

SWOOOOOOOSSSSSHHHHH!

BOOOOOM!

Moro's body exploded and my shield took the brunt of the force. The moment the wave hits the shield, heavy pressure quickly builds up on my body and is currently trying to crush me down. The heat is also quite strong that even with the [Domain of the Shield]'s ability to make the caster invincible for the duration of the skill, the heat from the attack is enough to slowly whittle down my HP bit by bit.

Thankfully, the explosion didn't last long and it stopped but the heat remains in the surroundings so I have to drink potions to recover. I also have to drink some Mana Potion since I ran out of mana after using the [Domain of the Shield]. This skill is a very good skill to cast invincibility to the whole party but it has a very big downside and it is not recommended to use unless it is for last resort.

Once the skill was cast, the skill will remain active until the user manually stops it or the user runs out of mana. After the skill was used, the user will be inflicted with Fatigue and Sickness debuff that would greatly reduce your maximum health, defense, and attack. You will also gain increased damage taken debuff. Not only that, the skill is not really good as your teammate cannot attack as long as they are inside the domain, making it impractical. The debuffs are also a type that cannot be healed and needed to wait for a few minutes before they will disappear.

In dungeon runs, this is only used by a party if the enemy will try to self-destruct just like how Moro did. Losing your tank in a battle is very bad so if you used this skill to tank a little damage, your team is dead before the tank can even recover.

Thankfully, Moro is dead. His self-destruct attack was meant to wipe out everyone in the vicinity around him but thankfully, we survived. Atlas helped me get back up to my feet as I feel sluggish and heavy due to the debuff. However, I am quite sure that I won this time, seeing all the loot on Moro's ashes. From the color of the loot, most of the items here are all in Very Rare rarity. It was a jackpot.
