Forev crossed her arms. "So, any ideas on how to kill a lot of demons in a short amount of ti?"
Broken had already planned to use his Golden Bow of Artemis to launch his Legendary weapons into the battlefield. However, the problem was clear-there were four sides of the capital under siege. It would be impossible for him to attack all sides optimally or deal significant area-wide damage by himself.
He quickly reviewed his inventory, listing weapons with potential for large area damage. The Bedrock Breaker Pickaxe, Gravestone Greatsword, and Wavebreaker Spear stood out as viable options. The Moonvine Knuckles, however, lacked sufficient area damage and were unsuitable for this task.
"I can use my bow..." he began.
Before he could elaborate, Frostedge cut in. "I can lend you my sword, Broken."
Broken raised an eyebrow but listened as Frostedge continued.
"My sword is highly versatile and has excellent area damage. On top of that, I can add a buff to imbue your skill with massive ice damage."
"That sounds promising," Broken replied.
Frostedge nodded decisively. "I'll stay at the gate where you'll fire my sword. Once it's launched, I'll retrieve it and join you above to provide further support."
Broken returned the nod and began assigning targets. "West will be the Pickaxe, east the Spear, south the Greatsword, and north will be your sword."
"Got it."
"Good. I'll head to Princess Alora first to ensure we can coordinate and maximize the battlefield damage."
With the plan finalized, the team braced for action.
"We split up here," Broken said firmly.
Without hesitation, he leapt from the Beebot and summoned Polly. Climbing onto the creature's back as she shot into the air. Frostedge followed close behind, riding his ice sword as he trailed Broken into the fray.
During the journey, the team ticulously reviewed their plan step by step, ensuring every detail was covered-including who would retrieve Broken's weapons after they were launched into the battlefield.
They quickly identified potential problems:
Bedrock Breaker Pickaxe required Level 200, 600 Strength, and Mining Technique 5. It seed unlikely anyone could handle it after it was embedded in the ground.
Wavebreaker Spear required Level 200 and a spear user. But who on the East side could retrieve it?
Gravestone Greatsword demanded Level 200, 900 Strength, and Advanced Greatsword Expertise-another tough requirent to et.
"Damn," Broken muttered under his breath.
He handed the task of coordinating weapon retrieval to Freya. "Make sure soone picks up my weapons. I can't afford to lose them."
Freya nodded, already running through her options as she began strategizing.
anwhile, Broken double-checked his status.

Broken's stats soared as he equipped his most powerful gear, ensuring peak performance. The Invincible Paragon Set ford the core of his strength, enhanced by multiple rings that amplified his abilities. Over it, he donned the Obsidian Shroud and Obsidian Sovereign Crown. Strapped to his back by the Crossforge Harness were two mighty weapons: the Royal Hamr and the Bedrock Breaker Pickaxe. His Flowing Tide Cape fluttered behind him.
On his wrist was the Abyssal Shatter Cuff, a legendary bracelet he had earned after defeating Morel, the Fae Knight Commander.
Finally, he attached the newly crafted Astral Aegis of Unity.

65K Health and 9.4K Mana! With stats this high, Broken felt confident he could withstand the overwhelming damage he might face. He only needed to activate Gaia to further boost his regeneration, ensuring he could recover quickly during the fight.
Polly soared swiftly toward the battlefield, cutting through the chaos below. On the ground, the sheer scale of destruction rendered the people oblivious to the figure flying above them. Broken ignored the pandemonium, focusing instead on his goal-the heart of the capital.
He knew exactly where Alora was. Through repeated use of Shared Senses, he had tracked her position using Pawpaw's eyes. Soon, he spotted it: the do-shaped domain cast by SpeedGang.
As Polly closed the distance, Broken leapt from her back, landing in a sprint toward the domain. Just as he reached it, the do shattered, pieces dissolving into the air.
Inside, he saw SpeedGang kneeling on the ground, visibly exhausted. Alora sat nearby, her head bowed, her hair hiding her face. Pawpaw, worn and weary, glanced up at him with dim
eyes.
"Pawpaw, retreat and rest," Broken said firmly.
The cat obeyed without hesitation, vanishing into the shadows.
Broken rushed to Alora's side, dropping to his knees. He paused for a mont, studying her. Slowly, she lifted her face, revealing tear-streaked cheeks and swollen eyes.
It was the first ti Broken had ever seen her like this-completely undone, utterly defeated.
Without a word, he pulled her into his arms. Alora clung to him tightly, burying her face in his shoulder as her sobs shook her body.
"I couldn't do anything, Broken..." Alora said, her voice trembling.
Broken held her tighter, offering her the support she so desperately needed.
"rcy died right in front of , and my father..." Her voice caught.
She continued. "If Pawpaw hadn't stopped , I might've died too, from my own reckless
choices."
"The best we can do right now is survive, Princess," Broken said softly. "And one thing to rember-it's not over yet."
"Yes, it's not over," she replied. "I'll fight by your side."
"Of course," he said, his voice steady. "I'm here now. Together, we'll make them pay for
everything they've done to this kingdom."
They fell silent for a mont. But both knew they didn't have the luxury of ti.
"I won't stay down for long," she said firmly. "I know what I need to do." Broken gently released her from his embrace, his gaze fixed on her face. Slowly, he saw the determination return to her eyes. Her resilience was remarkable-even in the midst of this overwhelming disaster that could have crushed anyone else, she refused to give in.
He wiped the blood from her lips and dried the tears from her cheeks with his fingers. "What a touching mont," a voice interrupted suddenly, pulling them back to reality. They turned to see SpeedGang standing nearby with his crimson heavy armor.
"You owe , Broken," SpeedGang said bluntly.
Broken t his gaze and nodded. "Thanks. I'll repay you soday."
"Tch," SpeedGang scoffed, turning on his heel and walking away without another word.
Broken helped Princess Alora to her feet, and Polly approached, lowering herself to allow them both to climb aboard. Without wasting a mont, Polly took off, soaring back into the
air.
"Princess, I'll keep this brief," Broken said. "We're going to try to intercept the teor and
destroy it."
"I trust you," she replied firmly.
It was then that Broken noticed sothing surprising-his affinity with Alora had risen significantly, now at an astounding 81%.
