Chapter 56: The Might of a Battle Tank
It first shows a peaceful and silent red forest with a perfect atmosphere in the surroundings. While things seem normal, a rumbling suddenly shook the forest.
In the next second, a massive Battle Tank moves forward through the forest, crushing large trees in its way.
What you are seeing is a MFT-16 Battle Tank or Model Fortress Tank 16 from the German Military and created by the famous technological engineer and businessman Elon Musk.
(The name of the Tank wasn't announced yet so I'll just make it up.)
As the giant behemoth passes through the forest and crushing trees in its wake, inside the tank was Terroriser and Nogla rode towards a field filled with rocks and sands.
Not long ago, Terroriser discovers that not only can he buy any Items from movies, games, animes, etc, he can also brought things that was never made or built yet, or as in future Items from movies, animes, and games that weren't even existed yet, and even buying future Items in real life.
As the Fortress Tank drove at the speed of 100 kilometers per hour, it then stopped in the middle of the field, in front of three giant six-legged monsters.
Looking through the scope to see outside, Terroriser shouted, "Load!"
"Load is ready!" Nogla gives his cyborg friend a thumbs up.
"Fire!"
*Boom!*
In the next instant, the Tank fired a shot to which the dust in their surroundings suddenly moved and flew away in a second, followed by a deafening explosion at the far side of the battlefield.
*Bam!*
*Splurt!*
Within an instant, the first six-legged monster died in front of its brothers.
"Screech!"
After which an ear-piercing screech reverberated throughout the area. The two other creatures were stunned for a few moments before noticing a metal beast hundreds of meters from them, learning it is the one that caused their sibling's death.
Enraged, the two other monsters run towards the Fortress Tank with raging fire in their multiple eyes.
"Enemies incoming! Nogla, used the HEAT rounds!" Terroriser said to Nogla at the gunner spot after noticing the two monsters headed their direction.
"On it!" Nogla nodded his head before heading to the ammunition.
Seeing Nogla going for the shells, Terroriser went back to see the creatures.
The monsters in question had a giant body(As your mum). They almost seemed like they were much larger bodies than a typical elephant that could be found in Southern Asia. Moreover, its body seems to be protected by an exoskeleton that is harder as Titanium that defends almost everything except its joints. Each leg was as sharp as the keenest of blades, ready to slice through anything in its path.

The two spider monsters charged towards the Battle Tank Fortress in a springing fashion, to which was countered with a thunderous fire from the Tank.
*Boom!*
The battle between the two was over 70-80 meters from each other. Therefore, when the Tank fired, its load almost missed. However, it did hit the left part of the Spider monster at the right.
After being hit by the explosive round from the Fortress, the second Spider was instantly killed as its side was utterly obliterated from the blast of the High Explosive Anti Tank shell.
The third spider monster was also caught by the blast, resulting in the enormous spider tripping and falling on the floor, having suffered a terrible wound on its right part of its body from the Fortress.
"Screech!!!"
Watching its brother die and suffer a painful injury, the Spider monster roared in anger to which stood back up and once again charged towards the Tank at the speed equivalent to the Fortress Tank.
Widening his eyes, Terroriser immediately yelled, "Oh shit! His moving fast as fuck! Nogla, ready the load!"
"Not yet! I'm still reloading the damn thing!"
"Fuck!"
Learning the armament was still reloading and so Terroriser tried to back up and used the unmanned machine gun on top to pummel the creature into the ground.
However, the two suddenly felt they stopped.
"Huh?"
Confused, Terroriser immediately analyzes why it stopped, he learns it wasn't the tank malfunctioning but a huge cobweb pinning the tank in place by the Spider Monster who was only 30 meters from them as it prevents them from escaping.
Now the Fortress was effectively captured by the creature.
"Motherfuck..." Terroriser cursed inwardly.
The spider monster was able to close the distance within a few moments and destroyed the unmanned machine gun that is continuously shooting .50 cal at it with its bladed leg.
Then, the Spider creature began to slash the Fortress slash after slash at incredible speed, trying to kill it as soon as possible for its brothers. Every slash created dents on the tank and might destroy the vehicle if this continues.
As the Spider Monster was about to take its 11th slash into the Fortress Tank, Nogla announced Brian that the load was ready, and so, without wasting a second Terroriser hit the switch and fired the Tank, shooting its load right in the spider's face, resulting in the spider monster's head exploded into bits and having its blood scattered around the place, painting the surroundings blue.
After the enormous Spider Monster died, the hatch on top of the Tank opened with Terroriser and Nogla came out of it.
Inhaling in the air, Terroriser sighs in a perfect mood, "Ahhh, nothing could underestimate the power of German superiority."
Popping from the hatch, Nogla said, "Damn boy, that's a big one."
"Nogla, you'll get the corpse of these bugs while I'll deal with the one near." Terroriser requested his friend, pointing his finger on the other two dead Spiders.
"Okie dokie!"
Nodding his head at Brian, Nogla ran towards the two dead spiders at superhuman speed.
"Hm..."
Cracking his neck, Brian jumped off from the Fortress and landed on the sandy ground.
Wiping the dust from his clothes, Terroriser went to the spider's body and placed the corpse into his Inventory.
Taking out a book from his Inventory, Brian opens the book that reveals to be a monster encyclopedia and quickly checks out the pages.
After looking for a bit, Brian finally found a monster that matched the description of the monster he and Nogla killed.
=====================================
Name: Knight Spider
Level: 25 (F+)
Description: Knight Spider has a lower physical strength than its current rank but it is protected by an exoskeleton harder as tungsten that defends almost everything except its joints (Lv.30). It could move all its joints freely and easily, making it far quicker than any normal human. Also, its spear-like legs gives it an offensive advantage since it has the ability to slice through tree trunks that block its way, almost as strong as a powerful <F> rank monster (Lv.20). A Knight Spider is shown to be impervious to Magic so in order to deal with it. It even has intelligence and great awareness of its situation.
=====================================
Though it is <F+> rank, Terroriser and Nogla were both <E-> rank, equivalent to an advanced Rank-3 Individual. With each of their levels gaps were large, Brian and Nogla could slam the Spider Monster very easily.
They already knew that but... where is the fun in that?
To Terroriser and Nogla, stomping shits or speed blitzing weak things while you're OP as fuck, they are absolutely boring in battle, but a future Battle Tank facing against giant bugs enlightens the two to the fullest, that's what you call CONTENT!
'Woah, this bug can be equivalent to a modern Tank in terms of defense, but still a low level one, shame. I wonder what A-rank monsters look like.' Terroriser thought to himself before spotting Nogla already placed the monsters' corpses into his inventory.
"Should we go?"
"Yeah, we should."
Putting the book back in his Inventory, Terroriser and Nogla entered the Fortress Tank and continued venturing deeper into the dungeon in hopes of finding the boss of this area.
"Tsssss!"
*Boom!*
Without even knowing what hits it, a rocket hits a giant red snake on the face, killing it instantly.
"And that's 47..." Terroriser said boredly with Nogla carrying a Rocket Launcher on his shoulder.
So far, the most dominant monster present in this red forest was an enormous Titanoboa but larger with extra features and abilities, but only get easily killed by several Anti-tank rockets and armor piercing rounds. And since the two have fought about a dozen of them, the two seem to get bored quickly.
They need some monster that is way more challenging as or than the Goblin Warrior they fought a few days ago.
Brian groaned, "Uhh, if only for something that could beat the shit out of me."
"Oh, I never knew you were becoming a masochist, Brian." Nogla said with a chuckle.
"Shut the fuck up you piece of shit, go to hell."
"Are you sure we already are?"
"Fuck you."
"Hehehe..."
The two then stop, as they continue to move forward with the tank. As they were driving the tank boredly, Terroriser's robotic eyes caught something.
"Huh, what's that?"
"Hm?"
Squinting his eyes, a couple of kilometers from their location, Brian detects one lifeform that felt like a human.
He or she seemed to be in some sort of mess, as he or she was not moving.
"Did he get killed by a monster?" Nogla asked.
Terroriser shrugged, "Pretty much..."
What they heard, it wasn't that uncommon for people or parties to be wiped inside of a dungeon, as a lot of things can go wrong in one.
"Should we help?"
To be honest, Terroriser didn't have any obligation to help as everyone was on their own inside of a dungeon... but from the looks of its only one person, so what could cause them to be in this situation?
Let's calmly think this through…
Could that person possibly be trying to arouse a passerby's pity, and then an ambush when he or she let their guard down in hopes of stealing their loot?
"Hmm... Probably."
Hearing this, Nogla was baffled, "Are you sure? It might be an ambush."
"Shh, calm down, comrade." Brian quieted down his friend before explaining, "First off, considering where we were, it seemed a good place to ambush but my advanced detection system is quite advanced in that it is able to detect Rank-5 Individuals with 7th Tier Stealth spells."
He continues, "Right now, I'm only detecting three life signatures 10 kilometers around us, one is that guy over there while the other two are way far, almost out of my reach. So no matter how stealthy these bastards are, I can still find them unless it's above that tier."
"Oh, that's interesting."
"Secondly, even if it was like that, I didn't think they could beat us..."
"Oh right, there was only one guy, furthermore, since we were in an F-rank dungeon, they were all most likely either a Rank-2 or an early Rank-3 Individual."
"Yeah, we're E-rank Adventurers, we can beat the shit out of the guy if he plays some tricks on us."
Agreeing on each other, the two drive the Fortress forward towards the unconscious man.
As they edged closer to their location, there were evident signs that a battle had taken place. Typically there are burnt plants and trees in the distance as craters could be seen everywhere.
Judging from the state of the surroundings, a big fight had taken place. However, the burnt trees and plants seemed very odd, because according to what Terroriser read about this dungeon, there are no monsters or magic beasts that have any fire-based magic.
Normally when fighting against a monster, you would see signs of blood everywhere or some sort of sign that a fight against a monster had taken place.
But as Terroriser observed closely, apart from some red blood, presumingly coming from the guy, there wasn't anything that suggested that they were fighting against a monster.
The more he thought about it, the odder the situation was...
Actually, now that he thought about it, why were they still alive? Normally, once you fought against a monster, there were only two endings.
Either you die or they die, nothing else.
But here, although he was injured, he was still alive. Did this mean that they weren't fighting monsters but someone or a group?
But even then, why leave him alive?
Something strange was definitely happening here, but Terroriser immediately shrugged it off as he was overthinking things.
Arriving before the person, the two noticed the person was staring in their direction with blank eyes, but even though he seemed to be able to sense them, he didn't seem to be able to speak nor process what was happening.
No, rather than the fact that he didn't seem to be able to think, it was more like he was too dehydrated to think.
"Jesus, how long had he been like this?" Nogla asked.
To be dehydrated to the point of not being able to speak, how many days have passed since this guy had been attacked?
"Okay, I think we should—"
"Step aside, Brian. I'll be helping the man." Stepping aside, Nogla lightly pushes Brian before moving forward.
Arriving before the person who seemed to be wearing massive armor, Nogla tried to flip his body which was facing sideways.
Gripping the massive plates of metal on his forearm, Nogla tensed his quads and tried to flip his body over.
"Fuck! I regret this!"
Feeling the enormous weight of the armor, Nogla silently cursed at the fact that he chose himself to help the man.
Judging from how much he was struggling, he presumed the armor was at least several tons.
*Clank!*
Finally, after struggling for a bit, he managed to flip his body upwards.
Stepping forward, Terroriser kneels down on one leg and quickly lifts his helmet off his face to get a better look at him.
"Dry lips, void, and dilated eyes... the situation is much more dire than we originally thought."
Checking his conditions, everything pointed to the fact that he was extremely dehydrated. Not only was his skin extremely dry, but his muscles constantly twitches, showing how serious the situation was.
'How Ironic, dying from dehydration in a forest-like environment, makes sense as this dungeon has nothing to find anything to eat or drink in a fake forest. Scientists at first will definitely criticize this chapter for something that seems illogical.' Terroriser thought.
Seeing that he didn't have much time, Terroriser quickly brought out a water bottle that appeared before him.
Placing the water bottle in his mouth, Brian slowly watched as he struggled to open his mouth.
Although it seemed like he knew that a water bottle was placed in front of him, because he was too dehydrated, his brain had already started shutting down.
Seeing this, Brian tilted the water bottle and let the water fall into his mouth.
"Gulp... gulp... gulp..."
Initially, as the water fell into his mouth, he took slow gulps, but as time passed the light gulps slowly turned into big gulps, and slowly but surely, his eyes which had lost clarity returned to their normal state as he frantically drank the water.
Watching him greedily drink the water, Terroriser let out a wry smile and turned to Nogla and demanded.
"Feed this guy or something, Nogla. I'll set up camp here."
Nogla nods, "Alright..."
