Chapter 5 - For the country!

"Time for us to kick that Godzilla's ass!" He let out a grin, his massive greatsword resting on his shoulder.

Baudin Beranger, titled 'The Greatreaver,' an Grade lV sorcerer, Mid-S Rank Fighter, member of the Helios Guild.

"Yay! Baudin! Baudin! Baudin!" he shouted, cheering for his idol.

Maugier Poirier, a cheerful adventurer, titled 'MendSpark,' an Grade V sorcerer, Low-S Rank Support member of the Helios Guild.

"Don't be reckless." She walked past Gaudin and spun her dual guns swiftly.

Emmy Ygraine, titled 'Gunslinger' an Grade lll sorcerer, Peak S-Rank Ranger member of the Helios Guild.

"T-that m-monster is no joke..." she held her staff, frail, her beast ear twitching.

Megane Romilly, a shy, timid girl from the beast races, titled 'Shymagian,' an Grade lV Mid-S Rank mage/support and member of the Helios Guild.

"Gaud, don't push your arrogance too much. Commander Leo will be mad." He tilted his head as his wrists covered with dark hue mana.

Rainier Paget, titled 'Battlemage,' an Grade lV Mid-S Rank fighter/mage member of the Helios Guild.

"That Godzilla should not be taken lightly. It will take multiple S-Rankers adventurer to possibly take down a single Triple-S threat monster." Emmy aimed her dual guns at its body.

It generated poisonous bullets after she pulled the trigger, but once again the Kaiju seemed to not taken apparent damage from the bullet against its skin.

She then added

"What kind of plate is that monster's skin made from?"

The three jet fighters in the air flew by. Codenames Mirage F1, Mirage LV, and Mirage 2000 made their way back into the battlefield; sound ripples through the air once again.

"This is Mirage LV, ready to strike..." he stated in a serious and professional tone through the intercom system.

Someone spoke through the intercom another pilot "Copy, immediately retreat after the strike."

"3...2...1..." The three jet fighters went in for the strike. The missiles lunged aiming at Kaiju's eyes, making it block its vision.

Meanwhile, below... multiple adventurers from Team C leaped through the ruined buildings.

While the Kaiju was blinded, someone shouted, "Zephyr Blast!" One of the adventurers holding a wand cast a spell as it generated a massive spell circle in front of Kaiju.

Regis Bernard, titled 'Windmaster,' an Grade ll sorcerer, Peak-S Rank Mage Vice captain of the Taranis Guild.

The spell pushed back the Kaiju with intense gusts of wind, causing it to slide on the ground.

Its body was sent back to the beach, causing it to stumble and fall, hitting the shallow water and creating small waves.

Another one of the adventurers leaped high into the air; he quickly pointed his bow at the monster while floating mid-air.

Energy and Mana particles gathered around him as he prepared to launch a devastating attack.

"Prism Arrow," he muttered. As he released the arrow from the bow, a white trail extended all the way to the monster.

Ives Thibault, titled 'Spectralhunter,' an Grade lll Peak-S Rank Ranger, member of the Taranis Guild.

The arrow hit Kaiju; it created a massive pentagonal-shaped explosion when it made contact with the monster's skin. However, it just made the situation even worse.

It roared, and its sound rippled through the atmosphere, crushing anyone's eardrum nearby, and ruined blocks flew off in the air due to the intense gusts of wind.

Kaiju's dorsal plates slowly started glowing blue; he then slowly stood up. He often uses his tail for balance, acting as a third point of contact, similar to a tripod, to help him regain his bipedal posture.

One of the adventurers from Team C ran closer at the monster, his posture in a high guard position, preparing to land an attack. "Revibration," he exclaimed. The tip of his fencer sword called the épée thrusted into Kaiju's left foot.

Gul Mason, titled 'Pulsarion,' Grade lll sorcerer, Upper-S Rank fighter member of the Taranis Guild.

It was supposed to send a shockwave through its insides, but it didn't seem to work. Kaiju moved his left foot upward, attempting to crush Gul.

Team C, Grade V sorcerer, Mid S-Rank Benoît Tremblé, Tank class, titled 'Mountainbreaker' from Taranis Guild

He declares, "Iron Bulwark!" A mana-reinforced dome barrier. He gritted his teeth from the impact as he shielded Gul from the stomp.

Rainier quickly arrived on the scene, smirking. "Void fighting style: Vortex Fracture," he stated.

A strong, swift kick on his right leg infused with dark magic strikes, aiming at the left foot and deflecting it by a few meters upward, delaying the stomp.

Rainier quickly grabbed both Benoît and Gul by their clothes from the back, pulling them out of the foot's path before monster's stomp made contact with the ground.

"Zephyr Chain!" A chain made of invisible material formed around the monster's limbs, holding it down. "Strike now, everyone!" His voice was filled with fatigue, as mana exhaustion clearly took a toll on him.

Team C, Grade lV sorcerer, Mid-S Rank Melisande Côté, Fighter class 'Goldthorn' member of the Helios Guild.

She jumped onto the structure beneath her with full force, destroying part of the building.

With incredible speed, she lunged toward the monster, her spear glowing with divine light, aiming at its face "Take this, Spear Cluster!!"

Her spear reached a maximum temperature of ten thousand degrees Celsius.

A few more of the railgun tanks arrived in the background and firing a plasmatic electric energy bullet, traveling at eight times the speed of sound, targeting the monster's torso.

Baudin lunged at the Kaiju in an insane speed, holding his greatsword tightly with both wrists; veins bulged out of his arms.

Shouting, "Doom Cleave!" An devastating attack crackling with dark and gold energy mana.

The ground beneath him cracked. With a single sweep, a massive arc of raw destructive force surged forward, aiming at Kaiju's leg.

Suddenly...

Kaiju's dorsal plates glowed in a pinkish-magenta.

The monster's longer, muscular arms and more armored head with spikes growing within its skin became prominent.

The monster unleashed an atomic breath, aiming at the ground, vaporizing everything within hundreds of meters with an temperature of over 2,000,000° degrees Celsius.

A commander spoke through their earpiece; his voice was stern and worried: "Retreat!" He warned everyone to fall back, but it was already too late.

The blast hit the ground creating an massive nuclear bomb explosion.

As if the situation had not gotten worse, Dieppe was now vaporized by the intense heat.

The sky darkened with clouds; gray ashes fell.

Cars exploded, buildings were further ruined, and water levels at the beach decreased.

Kaiju turned its head back toward Paris and continued moving forward with each step.

The ground trembled beneath its feet. It started charging its attack once more, this time twenty times more powerful than before.

Energy, mana, and immense magical power gathered in its mouth—if fired, the beam could reach Paris in a few seconds, traveling at 58 times the speed of sound.

"Everyone..." the commander began to speak once again into their ear, his voice a tight coil of emotion.

"Attack with everything you've got!" He slammed the table, a sound of absolute finality.

"Think of their faces! Your children! Your parents! Your loved ones! Will you let them get swallowed by the darkness?!" His voice tore through the silence, rising to a desperate, impassioned plea.

He added.

"No! Then do not waver! Not for a single second! Fight for their very lives!"

One soldier held his plasma gun, trembling. "H-he's right..." he said, voice mixed with nervousness and determination.

An adventurer around Low-A Rank commented, "I don't want to let my family die..." she said with a hope-filled tone.

"Then, carry on." Gard said as he patted the woman's shoulder then walked past her. He spat blood out of his mouth. The adventurer woman blushed wildly at the pat.

Gard then adds, "Now... time for act 2." He held his sword firmly with his left wrist as all of Teams A to D made their way behind him.
