The machine staggers backward as it got pushed back by the Archon's punch, the strike dented its head slightly and burned one-third of the optical sensor array because of the lightning attribute reinforcing spell on the Archon's hand. And by the look of it, the machine is going to get defeated by the Archon sooner or later as the Archon charges up for another punch while the human's party behind the giant seemingly cheering for the Archon and waiting for the machine to fall down and crushed by the Archon before they move in to look for any special drop from the machine's carcass.

The machine managed to ionize air molecules in front of the machine to create a kinetic barrier strong enough to dampen the Archon punch's force greatly before breaking off into a mist of superheated green plasma cloud in front of the Archon, pulverizing the Archon's hand in the process as Arc's party watch in awe
"What kind of magic is that?!"-Shouts Arc as clicks his tongue before dashing into the fray in efforts to help the Archon before it all too late, followed by Thekeg seconds later after he pulled himself together.
"That must be some kind of high ranked magic ward. Damn it."-Lilica mumbles as she focuses her magical power to prepare herself for another Archon summoning magic.
"I..I will try to appraisal it...What in the name of Azura is this..."-The elven archer announces her intended action to her companions as she focuses at the machine and starts chanting quietly while the other archer preparing some medical potions in case someone got hurt badly in the fight.

Meanwhile, the machine now regained its balance as its internal power reserve increased once again thanks to the lightning attribute attack from the Archon. The machine notices Arc and his companions are joining the fight alongside the Archon, but it does not change its secondary target properties as the CPU find no real threat in mere sword and hammer at size much smaller than the machine itself. So instead it only focuses on the big Archon as the machine steps forward in preparation for a counter attack.

An odd looking piece of equipment props up on the machine's left arm, followed by an eerie looking pillar of green smoke emitted from the device as the machine takes another step forward before swinging its left arm with all the power it has, the plasma saw's blade melt through the rock and dirt wall as it approaches the Archon before cleaving the summoned creature in half like a hot knife through butter, the attack made the lightning spirit become unstable and releases a massive amount mana at once as it explode violently. The machine although received a lot of damage to its armor it considers them to be nothing more than a first degree burn to its plating as it quickly swings the blade on its left arm in downward diagonal slash to cut the ground in front of Arc and Thekeg to force them back.
"What in the name of Azura is this?. Team scatter!. Team fucking scatter!. Run!"
Arc shouts loudly as he turns around and runs for his life after seeing the real blade of destruction moving through the ground and leave behind molten rocks and dirt in front of him, he can feel the sickening and skin charing heat greater than the flame of demon coming out from the blade just by standing near or looking at it while his team see an unstoppable reaper crashing toward them while wielding a blade made from souls of true demon from hell as they begin to lose their cool head as well.

"-Come, Archon of Destruction! Come forth and halt that abomination!"
Lilica finishes her chanting as another Archon appears and charges forward to face the machine, this time the Archon does not charge up for a melee strike but instead fire multiple streams of lightning to try slowing down and stopping the frenzy machine while Arc and Thekeg retreat back to safety.
"I got the appraisal!"-Said the elven archer as she slowly steps back as well while preparing an arrow and casting an ice spell on it.
"Archon, block my enemy, and fight to the last bit of power!"-Shouted Lilica as her Archon begins smashing the wall and the ceiling around it to collapse the tunnel and cut off the path between Arc's party and Archon.
[/Objective_completed: All threat eliminated]
[/Primary_target: Terminated]
[/Secondary_target: Successfully neutralised]
The machine cleaves down the Archon just as it about to turn back without any second thought, which caused another mana explosion in front of the machine, this time the blast pulverized its right hand completely and kicked the machine back before the tunnel collapse again, burying the machine once again in the process.

The machine is uncertain what that chunk of information mean, but it decides to worry about it another time as it wants to pull itself out of its new grave as soon as possible, starting by using more energy to run its damaged limbs in overdrive mode to clear the pile and crawl out safely and carefully with the help of its rear left leg. Meanwhile on the other side, Arc and his companions are all in cold sweat as they gather around to check for any wounds and look up at the appraisal result to find out what the heck did they just fight against, and they all in shock afterward as they read the transparent information screen hovering in front of them.

"What in the name of Azura..."
Arc murmurs quietly as he looks back at the wall of dirt and rocks behind him, wondering what 'last survivor' and 'the ancient' could possibly mean.
'Could the legend of the undead draconian true?...'
Arc shakes his head and wipes the sweat and dirt off his head before he returns to his party and call off the job, he deemed it too unsafe to continue. And his companions have no disagreement to that after saw what the thing could do.
As Arc and his party leave the scene, Arc looks back at the wall of rocks and dirt for the last time, carefully listening for the sound of the machine slowly walking away as he prays their path will never cross again and turns around to leave the cave with his companions and return to the guild to report the event.
