Chapter 5 - Protect the country at all cost!

"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.

Team D was behind him.

"Yay! Baudin! Baudin! Baudin!" he cheered 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 ego too much." 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 to possibly take down a single Triple-S threat." Emmy aimed her dual guns at the Kaiju's torso.

Her gun generated poisonous bullets after she pulled the trigger, but once again the Kaiju seem to not taken any apparent damage.

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

The three jet fighters in the air flew by.

Codenames F1, LV, and F2 made their way back into the battlefield; sound ripples through the air.

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

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

"3...2...1..." The three cockpits went in for the air-assault.

The missiles lunged aiming at the Kaiju's eyes with precision making the Godzilla blind for few seconds.

Meanwhile, below...

Adventurers from Team C was making their way through the city.

While the Kaiju was blinded, someone casted an spell, "Zephyr Blast!" an adventurer holding a wand 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 Kaiju was pushed back by the intense gust of wind, causing the monster to slide on the ground.

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

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

Energy and Mana particles gathered around the arrow.

"Prism Arrow," he muttered. Realising 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.

The Kaiju let out a defeaning roar, and its sound rippled through the atmosphere, crushing anyone's eardrum nearby.

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.

"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, from the devastating impact shielding 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, directly 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 range 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.

"Think about your children... Your parents... Your loved ones! Will you let them get swollen by the darkness!?" He slammed the table making it rattle.

"If No is your answer then fight on!" His voice tore through the silence, rising to a desperate, impassioned plea.

He added.

"Do not waver! Not for a single second! Fight for their very lives!" He tightened the grip on the walkie-talkie.

"Prove yourself that your a hero not only for the country, but for the whole world!"

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, patting the woman's shoulder she blushed wildly.

He walk past her then spat a blood out of his mouth.

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