*BOM* The intruder's hand slam on the ground creates a shockwave towards the surroundings and makes Isvel stop his attack.

"Huft.. huft... " the intruder's breath becomes rough while his body is covered with various kinds of small cuts.

'I need to retreat first.' thought the intruder.

As the intruders try to move, he feels his body gets paralyzed and kneeled on the ground.

'Poison.. Damn it!! It seems this mission has failed. All of this because of those two kids and that strange shadow creature.' cursed the intruder inwardly.

"Wooo… you have a quite strong body to be able to keep moving for a while despite getting that many poisoned cuts." said Isvel with a playful smile in front of the intruders.

"Tch.. this is not the end.." before the intruder finished his sentences, Isvel knocked out the intruder.

"Bla.. Bla.. Bla.. You talk too much." said Isvel.

After ensuring the intruder is restrained correctly, he seals the mana in the intruder's body before checking up on Angus and Jayna.

"You two alright? It's not every day you will fight a grade four combatant with elemental mastery." said Isvel.

"Yeah, we are fine. We just need a little bit of rest. How about Gil?" asked Angus since Gil already left his [Mana Echolocation] range long ago.

"Gil, Nahh… Don't worry about him. If it is Gil, nobody could beat him unless it is a monster overlord or seventh-grade combatant. Still, he should kill all these people first before stopping the Plague Worm. Well, I guess his little habit is still not gone." said Isvel.

Meanwhile, far away from Angus's location. A booming sound could be heard occasionally, along with a slight tremor. *BOMMM* Another loud explosion sound was heard and dark green liquid spread towards the surrounding area.

Few moments after Gilford lures the Plague Worm far away from the village direction, "Hmm… I think this is far enough. I hope the two of them are not disappointing me like Neil." said Gilford while running away from Plague Worm.

"Now, which one should I use? Argh... too many options, let's just use this." said Gilford while bringing out a metallic gold-colored ball.

Without wasting any moment, Gilford throws the metallic ball towards the Plague Worm direction.

"Go, Alfredo." yelled Gilford.

In the middle of the air, the metallic Ball opens and starts to reassemble in the blink of an eye. *Clak* *Clak* *Clak* At this moment, the Plague Worm arrives in front of the ball.

Suddenly, a huge metallic hand punches the gigantic Plague Worm's body and creates a shock wave nearby. *BAAM* The Plague Worm couldn't help but stop on its track while getting punched by the gigantic expressionless armored machine in front of it [Colossus].

Colossus is one of the magical engineering products. After the battle golem, Colossus is the next level. Be it intelligence, strength, power, and even its combat capability, Colossus is many times more sophisticated and better than Battle Golem.

Unlike battle golem, Colossus has almost the flexibility of an ordinary person despite being made of machinery. To this day, only the Gremlin race possess the capability to make this sophisticated yet complex artificial intelligence machine.

Because of this, the total number of Colossus is very few and could be counted by hand. Now, one of these masterpieces appears in this treacherous land.

Looking that his Colossus handle managed to hold down the Plague Worm, Gilford couldn't help but smile. The Colossus keeps punching the Plague Worm with tremendous force and sends the gigantic worm body flying away. *Bam* *Bam* *Bam*

"It seems choosing Alfredo is the right thing," said Gilford while looking at his Colossus.

Suddenly, the Plague Worm mucus that spread around the nearby desert begins to tremble. Looking at this, Gilford's playful smile turns into a solemn expression.

"Tch.. No wonder this guy is categorized as a disaster monster type. Its reproduction is too fast. Alright, babies time to work." said Gilford while taking out a series of small-size metallic balls from his space storage.

Soon, all the metallic balls change into battle golem with various kinds of shapes. Some have the shape of a horse with a shield. Some are like panthers, some are like high-tech drones and many others.

After all his golem reassembles itself from the metallic ball form, Gilford begins chanting, "Wish.. Kyo.. Shu.. For…" Gilford is chanting in an unknown language.

A moment later, A bright magic circle encompasses all the golems [3rd Circle - Auto Control]. A small magic circle also appeared on Gilford Forehead. Using this spell, Gilford could easily control all his golems at once.

Fixing his black google, "Time to party, baby." yelled Gilford as the golem moves and eliminates all the newborn plague worms that are coming out from the green mucus nearby.

Plague Worms not only spread dangerous diseases through their mucus and body. It will also lay eggs in case of danger or fight like now. This is also the reason why Toxic Wasteland becomes one of the most dangerous places in the Endless Battlefield dimension.

Just one of these gigantic sizes of Plague Worm, it could lay thousands of eggs at once. Furthermore, its newborn worm also carries the same dangerous disease as its parent. One of them could potentially spread disease to the whole Sur village.

Combined with its ability to survive in the most hazardous environment, it is already a miracle that this kind of monster didn't occupy the whole dimension.

However, nature itself works in mysterious ways. Along with its high reproduction ability, it also has many natural predators in monster circles or other beasts. Many poison-based monsters and beasts even consider them as high nutrition food.

Gilford begins to control the golem and kill all the nearby newborn worms. Since all of them are machines, they didn't even need to be afraid to get the plague the worm brought.

Still the newborn worm number is enormous. Just a few seconds after its birth, it immediately tries to scatter away while becoming bigger at a fast rate.

Seeing this, Gilford begins chanting another spell, "Earth, Lightning, Fire here my call…" A moment later, Gilford shot a bright light ball to the sky [4th Circle - Orion].

After casting the spell, Gilford drinks a mana potion to replenish his mana before casting other spells [2nd Circle - Auto Detect] [2nd Circle - Lock On]. A wave of invisible mana spread towards the surrounding area makes the newborn worm.

[Auto Detect] creates invisible mana waves towards the surrounding. While [Lock On] targets every single newborn worm that is detected.

Feeling the invisible mana wave made all the scattered worms turn back and attack Gilford Although the scattered worms want to save themself, they are still a monster and always attracted towards mana.

At this moment, the bright ball in the sky shines brightly and shoots thousands of small laser beams towards the surrounding newborn worm. *Bam* *Bam* *Bam*

[Orion] keeps firing small beams without stopping while Gilford's head begins to sweat trying to control it.

'The hell… What's with this enormous worm number? Don't tell me it is a grade-five Plague Worm. It seems I really could not help those two.' thought Gilford while keeping killing the nearby newborn worm.

After a while, a bright crimson pillar appears and kills the newborn worm [3rd Circle - Fire Totem].

Looking at Kurvan flying in the sky, "What took you so long? Anyway, how about our young cousin? I leave them to fight the intruder." asked Gilford.

"Isvel already takes care of them." replied Kurvan shortly before burning the newborn worm from above.

"Alright, then I leave this newborn worm to you. Alfredo, Here I come!!" said Gilford before riding his horse-like golem towards his colossus direction along with the other golem.

The battle between the Plague Worm and Colossus is reaching a stalemate. After using its full powered strike, the colossus notices that it could not kill its opponent with its fist.

As a sophisticated artificial intelligence, Colossus could adapt in the middle of the battle in a certain way. *SSSTTSS* a lot of steam erupted from its body. Then, it turns one of its arms into a sword and begins slashing down the gigantic Plague Worm.

However, the worm skin is very thick and too strong to be cut directly. Despite the might of the colossus, it cut only, leaving a small wounded cut on the worm's body.

The Worm also does not stay still. Noticing that its opponent is immune to its pathogen and acidic mucus, It begins to slap the Colossus with its gigantic spiked body. *BAM*

The colossus managed to push back a few meters away. Some part of its body and armor is cracked but quickly repaired by itself. *SSSTTSS* Another steam erupted from its body and charged towards the Plague Worm while brandishing its sword. *Bam* *Bam* *Slash*

Each step of the colossus creates a slight tremor nearby. Using the charge momentum, it brandished each sword towards the Plague Worm body.

However, the sword stopped in the middle of its body and cannot go further. A burst of the green colored mucus and blood sprouted from the wound. The Plague Worm's entire body wriggled in pain and struggle around. *Bam*
