National destiny: Starting with a coffin, building an aircraft carrier is broadcast live globally.

Randomness and Ivan are like two knives cutting into butter.

They skillfully avoided the two Naga warriors and instantly created two gaps in the snake-man's ranks.

Close combat,

Their numerical disadvantage was thus minimized.

Because at most three snake-men could simultaneously attack either Renyi or Ivan, the rest could only anxiously hiss and flick their tongues from the outside.

They dared not stand too close together, because from the treehouse thirty meters high, a pair of eyes were watching them.

"Whoosh—Bang!"

Another crossbow bolt whistled through the air and fell.

The target wasn't any enemy, but to force them to scatter. The crossbow bolts went more than half a foot into the ground, scattering dirt and gravel everywhere. Several enemies standing close by had their eyes blown out and screamed in agony.

Aurora breathed a slight sigh of relief in the treehouse.

She realized that she really didn't seem to have any talent for controlling ranged weapons, just like just now,

Actually, she was aiming at the motionless Naga warrior...

but,

At least she can create chaos and deterrence ヽ(=^･ω･^=)丿.

The spear in Renyi's hand was unenchanted; it was just a fine, ordinary long-handled weapon, but it was extremely useful in situations like this, where they were surrounded.

He dodged the spears of the two snake-men by sidestepping.

Using the advantage of his longer weapon, he pressed close to another snake-man's curved blade and thrust it straight at his armpit.

After striking, he didn't pull back, but instead grabbed the two spears and pulled them apart. The two snake-men staggered, using the momentum to take another step forward. [Raven] silently slashed across the neck of one of them.

When it realized its neck was cold, all its strength had been drained, and it collapsed to the ground.

The jet-black dagger, as sharp as a flying bird, had already pierced the eye socket of the third snake-man.

The battle was at a stalemate for the time being.

Renyi and Ivan moved freely among the snake people, but were occasionally held back by two troublesome Naga warriors.

While Aurora's heavy crossbows were of questionable accuracy, their immense power prevented them from forming an effective encirclement.

Now the snake people on the periphery can't get involved.

The snake-men's gazes simultaneously fell on a new target.

Klaus was holding the spiked club he had just picked up, his brow furrowed.

The weapon is heavy enough.

However, the center of gravity is unevenly distributed, the grip friction is insufficient, and it looks ugly!

The bone spurs on top are just scary to look at; in reality, their power is only so-so, and they can even affect the transmission of power in actual combat.

It's utter garbage.

Seeing that the two snake-men were already eagerly closing in, Klaus quickly grabbed his spiked club, found a lone crossbow bolt stuck in the ground, and opened the panel:

[Remodeling]!

The metal coating on the crossbow bolts in Klaus's hands began to flow, merging into the bone club.

The entire spiked club underwent a dramatic transformation in his hands.

The rough bone spurs contract inward, the shank becomes uniform in thickness, and the tip elongates, splitting in the middle to form a precise caliper structure, with intricate gears and threads rapidly emerging.

In just five seconds, the primal ferocity and mechanical precision were perfectly combined.

A bony base, industrial lines.

"Hiss hiss hiss?"

The snake-man who had rushed close didn't understand what kind of operation this was, but it was too late by then.

Klaus gripped the handles tightly with both hands and swung his sword in a full, rounded arc, like striking iron.

"Bang--!!"

A dull thud, comparable to the sound of a heavy crossbow hitting the ground.

There was no blood splattering or brain matter spilling out.

The snake's head was like a watermelon crushed by a road roller, collapsed and deformed, but because it was smashed into the chest cavity, it remained intact.

The snake-man's three-meter height suddenly dwindled to two and a half meters.

He froze for a moment before collapsing to the ground.

[You have defeated the Lv5 Snakeman and gained 80 Evolution Points]

The snake-men behind them stopped in their tracks. They only saw the weapon in the human's hand suddenly change its appearance, and then...

Their companions are gone?!

"Oh my god! This feel..."

Klaus, oblivious to the fact that the corpse was unrecognizable, his eyes flashed with astonishing light.

"That torque, that impact force, that design!"

"It's perfect! My signature weapon!"

Newton (Rare)

【Characteristic 1: Gravity. Falling attack damage is increased by 40%.】

[Characteristic 2: Mechanical overload. Causes three times the damage to ergonomically designed structures.]

[Comment: A synonym for rationality, whether for the user or the user. PS: The hammer costs 80, but this requires... 160!]

What do you mean by 80 or 160?

......don't know.

But that didn't stop him from loving the new weapon.

Both Renyi and Ivan's gazes fell simultaneously on the "special weapon" in Klaus's hand.

The standard hexagonal jaws gleamed coldly in the firelight, as if ready to unscrew a giant nut from some equipment at any moment.

Extra large, industrial style, wrench.

Random & Ivan: "..."

[A wrench that can screw a snake's head in like a screw ヾ(×× ) ﾂ]

Is this reasonable...? The engineer's bloodline has awakened...?

[Klaus: The holy sword of physics is hereby renamed.]

[“Special Weapon” – A wrench that can kill. Hahahaha, help! I can't take it!]

Klaus didn't mind the blood and brains on it anymore.

He stroked the jaws of the clamps with obvious affection.

"The dimensions are perfect, the lever arm is just right, and the counterweight is perfect... It would be even better if you added a ratchet mechanism next time."

"You..."

After a long pause, Ivan finally managed to utter a sentence.

"...It's quite unique."

I just can't criticize this—it's so Klaus!

Everything went smoothly from then on.

He effortlessly dealt with the siege of the snake-people elites, using his agile body, which was too nimble for snake-people, to maneuver between attacks and reaping lives from time to time.

He was waiting.

Wait until Ivan and Klaus finish their battle.

The Naga warriors, entangled by Ivan, were nearly driven mad.

My enchanted attack had no effect on him; on the contrary, it was as if I had given him a blessing buff, increasing his strength and defense.

That exquisite axe, which looks like a toy, is even more sinister!

Every time it is waved, it becomes unsettled.

"boom--"

"hiss--!!"

The ground shook.

Those defensive runes couldn't stop the blunt force attack. Klaus seized the opportunity and slammed Newton into the Naga warrior's tail.

The Naga warrior felt a sharp pain in his tailbone, and his movements immediately became distorted.

Ivan, who had been battling it all along, had been waiting for this moment.

He roared, and the axe blade of [Heart's Desire] suddenly sank halfway, dodging the parrying spear, and ripped open the flesh on its chest from bottom to top.

[You have defeated a Lv6 Naga and gained 140 Evolution Points]

[You have assisted in defeating a Lv6 Naga, and have gained 60 Evolution Points]

Seeing his people fall, another Naga warrior gave up the fight and fled into the depths of the forest with the remaining dozen or so snake people.

"Their ambush area definitely has more than just this many people."

Klaus flicked the blood off Newton's head and said with some distress,

"Perhaps we need to lay low for a while? Who knows what other tricks Morrison and those monsters have up their sleeves..."

Just then, an unfamiliar voice came from the direction of the cave dweller's burrow:

"I know."

"Nice to meet you all."
