Chapter 3671
The Book of Knowledge had developed Numbing Hail to deal with human armies, powerful Awakened, and Divine Beasts alike. He considered the Engine no different from a Tiamat wearing a thick suit of armor and had no doubt Numbing Hail would work.

Yet he had failed to take into account that Lith was never alone, and this time he had an undead army at his fingertips.

‘Now!’ Several stone doors opened along the Engine’s surface as Lith focused to free the Engine’s joints from arrow constructs and break the hold of the plant folks on its legs.

Fifty seven-eyed Demons armed to the teeth jumped out of the openings, breathing bursts of Origin Flames that burned at Numbing Hail and the enemies clinging to the tower.

Lith had received fifty suits of Adamant equipment taken from Thrud’s defeated army as a reward for his contribution in the War of the Griffon. He had refined them in the Spark for a long time, and now he was putting them to good use.
