SexyGrill and SexyBloom’s health bars were dangerously low, the relentless damage from the Crow Guardian overwhelming even the effects of Nature Healing.
The battle had reached its breaking point, and Broken knew this was it. He had already made his decision-everything rested on this final move. He could only hope it was the right one, the strike that would unleash the greatest damage and end the fight.
A message from Maylock popped up:
[Maylock: “No pressure, just to let you know, more monsters have entered the city.”]
[Broken: “That definitely feels like pressure.”]
[Maylock: “Haha!”]
But just as Broken was about to pull The Scorchslayer from his inventory, he paused. Scanning through his arsenal again, a realization hit him-The Scorchslayer’s damage was split between physical and elemental magic, and his magic damage wasn’t balanced enough to fully capitalize on it. That meant he wasn’t getting the full potential from the weapon’s percentage-based damage.
But then, another option caught his eye. Yes!
[+12 Bedrock Breaker Pickaxe]
[Grade: Legendary]
[Attack Power: 1379~1751
Strength +130
Agility +130
Constitution +130
Stamina +130]
Terra Fury: 2000% single-target + 1000% aftershock AoE.
Rockfall Barrage: 200% physical damage, 2 boulders hit (AoE).
Summon Desert Worm: 6000% AoE damage.
The Bedrock Breaker Pickaxe had a higher percentage damage overall, especially with Terra Fury’s powerful single-target strike and the massive Summon Desert Worm AoE attack. This could deliver devastating damage to the Crow Guardian and everything around it.
Yes! This weapon has the sheer percentage damage I need. And the AoE will have a greater impact on the battlefield around the Guardian!
He drew out the Bedrock Breaker Pickaxe, gripping it tightly before nocking it onto his bow as if it were an arrow.
[Apex of Arsenal (Passive Skill)]
[Explosive Arrow (Active Skill) Lv. 4]
As the skill charged, a massive copy of the pickaxe materialized behind him, spinning fiercely in the air, ready to launch toward its target. The sheer size and power of the spectacle instantly caught the attention of everyone on the battlefield.

A sleek, sophisticated home bus was parked on the hospital parking lot. Its side featured a massive screen broadcasting a live event from Immortal Legacy, capturing the attention of onlookers. In front of the crowd, several men in black suits stood in line, while a girl with long blonde hair sat in a wheelchair, Freya standing close by.
As the minutes passed, more people gathered, their eyes glued to the live stream.
“Go Broken!!! You can do it!”
“Take down those monsters!”
“He’s so cool! I love him!!!”
“God Broken! He’s like a god! So powerful!”
“Oh my god, he’s so cute! I want him!”
Freya raised an eyebrow at the comment and smirked. “Seems Lily’s brother is getting quite popular with the ladies.”
Juliette, the girl in the wheelchair, giggled softly. “You could say that… I’m one of his many admirers too.”
Inside the hospital, Maylon’s wife, Laura, lay in bed, her pale face softened by a smile as she watched the same stream. She leaned back, her expression proud.
“I’m sure he’s having a good time,” she said, her gaze drifting to the screen showing her husband’s serious face.
“This game… it’s like a second life for him,” she continued softly. “He works hard, not just to be powerful and influential in the game, but to still be there for me and our daughter.” Meanwhile, the noise from the crowd had drawn the attention of some hospital staff, who were upset by the loud cheering. As they approached the commotion, they were stopped by the black-suited men standing guard.
“Hey! Are you all out of your mind? Yelling near a hospital?!” one of the staff members shouted.
One of the men in black coolly stepped forward. “Is there a problem?” he asked calmly, towering over the hospital staff.
Caught off guard by the intimidating presence, the staff member stammered, “Uh… N-No, we just… wanted to watch the live stream too.”
Marco stood with his arms crossed, watching intently as the massive battle in Deadbay City unfolded on the screen. A faint smile crept across his face as Broken continued to make a
significant impact on the battlefield.
“Yoo… Broken! You’re officially my number one idol, hahaha!” one of the employees shouted, clearly swept up in the excitement.
“Let’s go, Broken! Yes, yes, pick the pickaxe, pick the pickaxe!”
“How can he be so good with a spear? Doesn’t it take years of practice to fight with that kind
of agility?”
“Does he have a martial arts background? Like, did he train in spear fighting or something?”
“He does, but only for a few months,” someone chimed in.
“Damn, no way! How is that even possible? He’s so Broken!”
“Yeah,” another agreed with a grin, “he really nailed it with that name-Broken is literally broken!”
Marco chuckled softly at the comments, before muttering to himself, “Do we need to give him a special reward for saving us from all this trouble?” A faint smile tugged at his lips.
Then, his expression softened.
“Your son… Arthur…” he whispered under his breath.
“How did he grow into someone so extraordinary? I can see your determination and
unyielding spirit in him.”

The ground beneath the battlefield trembled violently, centered around Broken as he floated
in mid-air, charging his skill.
The earth shook as if an earthquake had hit, and layers of soil lifted upward. Above, dozens of massive magic circles formed in the sky, summoning colossal boulders that slowly emerged, ready to rain down destruction.
In the center of it all, a giant circular maw appeared-seemingly the mouth of a massive worm, its jagged teeth ready to devour the battlefield whole.
3 seconds left.
Broken’s focus remained sharp as he watched SexyGrill and SexyBloom continue to keep the
Crow Guardian distracted. He knew this was his one shot-he couldn’t let the opportunity
slip. This had to end now.
2 seconds left.
The Monkey Guardian charged forward, desperate to assist its ally and strike at Broken. But
before it could get close, massive shields shot into place around him.
Ivana appeared in a flash, casting a protective barrier that enveloped Broken.
1 second left.
Elincia darted through the air, casting a barrage of lightning attacks to keep any threats at
bay, making sure no one would disrupt his focus.
Kingsley grappled with the Gorilla Guardian, their massive bodies clashing as they fought for
control. Blackthorn joined in, hammering the Gorilla Guardian with devastating blows, keeping it from interfering.
This was it-the final moment. Every ally on the battlefield had staked everything on this one
attack.
The charge time was complete!
[Projectile’s Kiss (Active Skill) activated.]
[The Ring of Unlimited skillz passive effect triggered: Projectile’s Kiss will not consume any

With a fierce grit of his teeth, Broken unleashed the pickaxe, firing it from his bow. It tore through the air with unimaginable speed, the full force of his power behind it.
The final strike had begun.
