Chapter 1900. Battle of the Titans
The giant robot that came down from the clouds was opposite in look from Paytowin's Alpha Techno Suit. While the Alpha Techno Suit had a sleek design, the giant robot looked bulky. It looked like a giant mechanical human in heavy armor.
This giant robot came from Heavenly Mech Warrior's level 90 skill, Omega Battle Mech. Although this battle mech was still smaller than Leviathan, its size was almost as large as true dragons.
Leviathan couldn't help but focus his attention on this new adversary.
"Hmph… A mechanical soulless automaton? Do you truly think such a thing can stop me?" He ridiculed.
"Heh, your haughtiness is as big as your size," Paytowin uttered. He accessed the Omega Battle Mech remotely and set Leviathan as the main target.
The red eyes of the Omega Battle Mech shone a sharp light once it acquired its target. It had two large pillars on its back. These pillars opened into six bladed-wings that revolved at high speed. A ring of light appeared following the process. This ring of light produced a burst that sent the mech speeding forward.
Leviathan was taken aback by the Omega Battle Mech's sudden approach. He didn't expect the bulky-looking mech to possess such a speed. Before he could react, the battle mech's steel fist landed on his head.
*BAM!*
Leviathan staggered from the punch. The force of the punch was also outside his expectations. A second punch landed while he was still stunned by the surprise, then another, and another.
The Omega Battle Mech's elbows had thrusters that produced combustions, which added to the punch velocity. This gave the battle mech the ability to perform rapid punches despite its ridiculous weight. The nonstop pummeling forced Leviathan back.

"Groooaarrr…!!!" Leviathan let out a bestial roar as he spun his body in the middle of the fist rain. His massive tail came up and slammed into the battle mech's torso. The impact sent the mech flying back.
Leviathan didn't chase. He smirked. "I must admit I underestimated this junk of a metal a bit too much, but it is still a junk…!"
He opened his jaws, and a silver-colored energy whip lashed out. The whip wrapped itself around the battle mech's waist. The giant mech was then pulled toward Leviathan while Leviathan lunged forward.
The battle mech tried shifting to the side as Leviathan's enormous jaws came. It couldn't move away because of the Soul Lasso entangling its body, but it shifted enough so Leviathan's deadly bite didn't hit its head. Instead, the devil's powerful jaws clamped on the battle mech's upper arm.
Cracks appeared on the metallic armor protecting that arm. Leviathan added pressure to his bite, which resulted in more cracks. Damage numbers continued appearing as Leviathan persisted on the bite.
The Omega Battle Mech tried to force Leviathan to release him by punching the devil's head repeatedly, but Leviathan's thick armor cushioned the blows. He didn't budge and wouldn't let go.
Paytowin didn't let his mech fight alone. He flew above Leviathan and shot at the devil using his fallen apostle's weapon, which was shaped like a large rifle. That rifle fired condensed energy bullets.
Despite the high damage value of his fallen apostle's weapon, it did not cause much damage to Leviathan. The devil's defense was too high. Paytowin's attacks were only like mosquito bites to Leviathan. Leviathan ignored the shots. His clamping jaws didn't let go of the battle mech's arm.
Paytowin landed on Omega Battle Mech's shoulder and put a hand on its neck. "Activate electron blades," He uttered.
From the Omega Battle Mech's gloves, energy blades emerged. Sparks of blue lightning were seen coursing through these blades. The battle mech was like wearing a pair of katar weapons.
The battle mech couldn't use the arm that was bitten by Leviathan, but its other arm was free. It never stopped punching Leviathan. Now that its punching arm had an energy blade, each punch pierced deep into Leviathan's armor.
The Electron Blades had a high penetrative ability that ignored defense. Leviathan could no longer ignore the attacks. He started to spin. He was like an alligator that had taken a bite and tried to rip the flesh of its bitten prey. The battle mech spun following Leviathan's movement. Paytowin was thrown away as a result.
Leviathan didn't stop. He continued spinning, all the while applying more pressure on his bite. He was determined to sever the battle mech's arm.
The Omega Battle Mech wasn't affected by all the spinning. It was immune to dizziness. It never stopped stabbing Leviathan using its electron blades. It was now a contest of endurance.
While it seemed no one could interrupt the two titans with them spinning like that, a large energy ball rushed toward them. The ball was half-white and half-black, separated in an S-shaped line. This dual-color ball accurately avoided the battle mech and struck Leviathan.
The resulting explosion was large enough to cover half of Leviathan's body. The generated force shoved the titanic devil away. His bite weakened due to the sudden impact. The battle mech landed another piercing punch on the devil's head. Leviathan involuntarily let go of his bite. Chunks of metal broke after his mouth left the battle mech's arm. Large gashes were seen on the battle mech's armor.
The yin-yang ball that interrupted Leviathan came from Anotherday. The ball was the level 90 skill of his Veiled Demon Slayer class, the Duality Bomb. It was a throwing weapon that caused a large AOE blast upon impact. The bomb deals 1000% light damage and 1000% dark damage. It stunned and knocked the target away. It also caused random afflictions to all damaged enemies.
Leviathan was currently afflicted by some negative status effects. It was suffering from poison, weakness, cursed, disoriented, and confused. Despite his high resistance, the duality bomb's affliction chances were very high.
"Grr…!" He growled. He looked at Anotherday. This outworlder had attacked him ever since he started tussling with the Omega Battle Mech, but he didn't put this outworlder in his eyes because of the pitiful damage. That duality bomb just now changed his opinion.
Anotherday threw his flying dagger again. His flying dagger was not the standard flying dagger from Hidden Weapon Specialist's first skill. It was larger and had a crimson color. It was his fallen apostle's weapon. The fallen apostle's weapon for this class was a throwing weapon. Once equipped, he could use it in melee, but it also replaced the standard flying dagger when he used the skill.
Combined with his pinnacle class, the Veiled Demon Slayer, the flying dagger skill became even more potent. This was because the Veiled Demon Slayer had a passive ability that removed the cooldown of the Flying Dagger skill. Anotherday could throw flying daggers as fast as he could. Furthermore, every successful hit of the flying dagger reduced the cooldown of his other throwing weapons by one second. If used correctly, the Veiled Demon Slayer could have the highest DPS compared to other classes due to the high frequency of its skill usage.
Aside from improvement to the flying dagger skill, Veiled Demon Slayer also doubled the range of Hidden Weapon Specialist's skills. This class' reach didn't lose to the gunner class.
Anotherday was now using another of his new throwing weapons while Leviathan was having trouble with his afflictions. He used Veiled Demon Slayer's level 80 skill, Soul Pellets. At max skill, ten pellets flew out of his hand. These pellets drilled themselves into Leviathan's thick armor. Once they were deep enough, they exploded from the inside, causing soul damage.
Ten massive explosions were seen along Leviathan's titanic body. The devil roared, more due to anger than pain.
While that was happening, Paytowin and Joe landed on Leviathan's back. Anotherday was aware of them. The explosions from his pellets avoided hitting the area where they were at. The Omega Battle Mech also rushed back to keep the devil on his toes. Despite the wound in its right arm, it continued to punch fiercely. It felt no pain, after all.
With the battle mech keeping Leviathan's attention, Paytowin and Joe had a merry stabbing party on Leviathan's back. They used a tool similar to grappling hooks to anchor themselves to Leviathan. These tools were from Wilted.
Joe's fallen apostle's weapon was a glaive type, but it had a magic stone on its shaft. This turned it into a magic staff as well. One of the passive effects of his pinnacle class, the Eldritch Knight, was the ability to learn non-standard spells learnable by the Archmage and Elementalist classes. With the magic stone on his weapon, these non-standard spells he learned wouldn't lose in power to a genuine Archmage or Elementalist.
Paytowin's fallen apostle's rifle might be a shooting weapon, but it could emit a constant energy blade at its end. His weapon was similar to the gunspears wielded by the celestial soldiers summoned by David. With this riflespear, he stabbed into Leviathan's armor while continuing shooting.
The two activated the Demonize Weapon to increase their damage output. While the two had their way, movements were seen among the gaps between Leviathan's armor plates. The movements revealed themselves to be insect-like demonic monsters. These insect monsters moved using limbs that ended with suction cups. These suction cups kept them tethered to Leviathan's body even when Leviathan made sudden movements. These monsters had two long whip-like appendages. At the end of these appendages were sharp curved spikes.
"Here they come," Joe remarked.
They had known about these monsters. They were called the Remoron Bugs. They were like Leviathan's bio-defense system against unwanted intruders. Aside from this bio-defense system, an obscure yellow mist also hung close to Leviathan's surface. This mist eroded the HP of all hostiles clinging to his body. Paytowin and Joe had drunk a regenerative potion to counteract this HP erosion.
"I'll deal with them. You continue applying damage to Leviathan," Joe told Paytowin.
