I pulled out the Willful Sword who was already raring to go and tapped the first Gold Automaton on the head.
Obviously, it was unaffected by that tap. It didn't have any power backing it.
However, with how I did it easily, it allowed to find out the flaw or the weakness of these Automatons.
They're unresponsive or slow to respond with attacks that weren't amplified by Source Energy.
Avelin would have an easier ti dealing with these Automatons. As for the girls who were not physical attack-oriented, they would be having a hard ti. Just like these two won.
As I jumped from head to head of the Automatons and giving them a punch on their head where the transceiver should be located to disrupt the commands being sent by the processing unit, I watched the two won as they hold their ground against ten Gold Automatons and a lot more Bronze and Silver Automatons who were also chasing after them.
My four clones had already dissipated, leaving the two won in the middle of the sea of Automatons.
They're flying so they're not exactly in the middle but… they were fully concentrated to dodge even the Bronze Automatons' attacks.
Those particle cannons on their arms also had a disrupting effect just like my Dispelling Arrows. If they were hit by it, they would find their Source Energy frozen and it would make the Spell or Skill they were trying to activate canceled.
Whoever made these Automatons was truly a genius. Too bad though, they couldn't be used in a large-scale battle because of its clear weakness and the difficulty in bringing it there.
"Girls, do you need my help?" I called out to them after kicking one of the Gold Automatons away, disabling it temporarily.
I had thoroughly inspected the make of these Automatons and funnily enough, apart from the two weaknesses I ntioned earlier – the transceiver and susceptibility to Physical Attacks – there's another weakness for it. It's arms that act as weapons.
Hitting the joints that were connecting the arm module to the torso was enough to disable them. Furthermore, apart from the particle cannon and the blade, there were no other weapon modules attached to it.
I just didn't know if the Crystal Automatons would have the sa weakness or they would be different.
Either way, apart from or the girls who had recovered a part of their mories from their past life, the others would find it hard to adjust to this kind of enemy.
"No! Let us… deal with this."
The two won shouted in concert. Although there were now frowns plastered on their faces, the determination shining through their eyes was still too bright that it was admirable.
I had long pocketed the ore inside the cart so… we could actually move on and leave these things behind but for these two girls to accumulate this combat experience, I would be looking out for them for a few minutes.

At so other parts of Atlantis, the other groups of three were currently faced with an encounter against the Automatons.
With a new kind of enemy blocking their path, most of the teams were locked in a stalemate especially the Heroes and the Transcendents from the Mortal Worlds.
Naturally, so of the groups already t each other and they began teaming up against the horde of Bronze and Silver Automatons.
In this particular part, two groups made up of Heroes tead up. The two groups were led by Raiden and Hikari respectively.
Hikari was using her copied Domain of Valor from Daisuke and another skill that she could borrow indefinitely. Due to that, she beca an indispensable mber of this group.
At the mont, they were being surrounded by both Bronze and Silver Automatons just outside a warehouse that housed scrapped junks or more specifically the Junkyard.
It's called Junkyard because everything stored in the warehouse was the defective items that couldn't be improved on. They were the true defects compared to what Daisuke's group saw at the Demonstration Room
Although they could notice how extraordinary the materials the scrapped junks were made from, none of them dared to pick one to try it on in battle. They left them as is to be safe. Daisuke warned them not to carelessly pick them up. Most of them in this group had already so dealings with Daisuke so they trusted his judgent
"Hikari, what do we do next?" Lulu, the Hero of the World of Fairies asked. Although she looked petite compared to everyone else, her appearance at the mont made her look like a Fairy Queen with a translucent pair of wings behind her.
It was a Fairy Transformation that was unique from the Spirit-type Pathway of the World of Fairies.
Among the six Heroes in these groups, all of them were Heroes who were added to Daisuke's Support System. That's why, although they were surrounded and outnumbered, they could still hold their ground.
Apart from Lulu, there's also the idiot Hero couple Amry and Kazeyoshi as well as Hiroda of the World of Magic.
With Raiden at the front and the couple supporting him from both of his sides, they beca the frontliners of this group.
Lulu and Hiroda were at the back as they were bombarding the Automatons with Fairy Magic and Magic Spells.
And obviously, Hikari was standing pretty at their back, she was acting as the support and the brain of the group.
Ever since becoming Daisuke's Companion, she began to get serious about how she calls him master. Asking him to teach her strategies or how his mind works when faced with a crisis.
"They changed to lethal mode because we attacked them. Daisuke told that they cannot be destroyed but we can disable them for a few minutes." With a hand on her chin as if she was contemplating deeply, Hikari answered Lulu.
Most of her buffed skills were already opened and the five from her group had already been enhanced by it, pulling their strength upwards to at least mid Rank 2 Transcendent.
But with them outnumbered, they had to really strategize on how to get out of this situation.
"Disable? Shouldn't we just bash their heads in?" Raiden who seed eager to use his Unique Ability and his Sledgehamr questioned.
"You musclehead, didn't you already use your hamr on them and they're not effective?!" Amry shouted to the guy, her hair was currently ignited by her Pyrokinesis.
On the other side, Kazeyoshi wanted to also say sothing but one glare from his girlfriend and he imdiately shut his mouth.
"Now now, Amry. Let's wait for Hikari and not fight among ourselves. Let's just defend for now." Hiroda tried to smoothen the situation but Amry only harrumphed at him before jumping towards her boyfriend.
"Hikari, we can combine our abilities together. What do you say about us creating a path for us out of this encirclent?" Amry looked back to their strategist who's still mulling over what kind of strategy she would use this ti.
"Getting out of encirclent… Right! Yes. Do that, your Pyrokinesis can be amplified by Kazeyoshi's Aerokinesis! Raiden, back them up from behind. Use your Temporal Acceleration if you have to. Lulu and Yusuke, stick close to , I will carry you both to follow them."
Showing a large grin on her lips, Hikari readjusted her glasses as she told them what to do.
Although Raiden and the other two looked doubtful, they still followed her.
With the couple charging right in the middle of the Automatons, Raiden swung his hamr occasionally as he followed behind them to flung away the Automatons who would try to stop them from the side.
And behind him, Hikari, Lulu and Hiroda were standing above a light platform covered by a do made from Light Elental Energy. She was using her new assimilated Pathway to tide through this predicant.
And just like this, their group sohow escaped the encirclent.
However, the Automatons continued their pursuit of them.
Before they knew it, they arrived at another structure.
Upon seeing that there were no Automatons inside it, Kazeyoshi and Amry imdiately jumped inside followed by the other four.
Amidst their ragged breathing, they all looked back and found out that the Automatons truly did stop chasing after them.
However, before they could catch their breath, they heard familiar voices in front of them.
"Raiden and Hikari's group."
"You… You're here too?"
"Those robots were too much, right? That Daisuke truly put us in a tough spot."
The voices naturally ca from the other groups and just like them… they had no choice but to use this place as a safe haven.
Contrary to what Daisuke was expecting, the Heroes were actually being overwheld by the Automatons that he thought were easy to deal with.
