I was transported from Lobotomy Corporation to another world.

The group arrived at the plains and saw a cult settlement not far ahead.

To be precise, this wasn't their main base, but rather a large outpost.

There were no houses, only tents, and the air reeked of blood. Flags bearing the eye were planted everywhere.

Everyone hid in the bushes, and the other side didn't notice them.

The group seemed to be talking about something, and the most conspicuous thing in the cult was a square object covered by a black cloth.

The square object has a wooden board underneath, and several wheels underneath the wooden board.

Reed pointed to the square object covered by a black cloth and said, "That one covered up is probably just gloating. Let's deal with the cult first."

Everyone tacitly accepted Reed's statement, after all, Reed's strength was undeniable.

Kerson also heeded Reid's advice, distributing some soldiers to the left and some to the right, preparing for a three-pronged attack.

After we finished preparing, Kerson suddenly stood up and shouted, "Attack!!"

Among the adventurers, Reed was the first to rush out of the bushes, and the other adventurers followed him.

The cult members who were still gathered together listening to their leader's speech all realized what was happening and gripped their weapons tightly.

"These blasphemers! Kill them!!"

"I'm going to gouge their eyes out!"

"Kill them all, leave no one alive!!"

The cult members, grinning menacingly, charged forward.

This group of cult members looked even more insane, and the entire group began to act.

【The battle begins】

As the weapons of the first cultist and adventurer clashed, everyone began to fight.

The adventurers were surprised to find that the cultists' attack speed and strength seemed rather formidable.

Reed casually killed one cultist, watching the other cultists rush towards him.

They all had scratches around their eyes, and one cult member even had his eye gouged out, still bleeding.

Reid understood why the cultist had suddenly seemed a little stronger.

[Aftereffects] This group of cult members seems to have been driven mad by [schadenfreude].

Red can guarantee that the aftereffects of schadenfreude are definitely not as exaggerated as that.

But the facts speak for themselves, which demonstrates that the aftereffects of schadenfreude without a suppressor are even stronger.

Reed casually slashed five charging cultists to death with a single stroke, then quickly ripped the black crowns off the back of their heads.

Rena stayed in the back as a healer, giving any injured adventurer a life potion.

The adventurers who were helped were very grateful to Rena, because in such a situation, having someone help them was tantamount to saving their lives.

He promised to give Rena 30% of the Black Crowns after completing the mission.

As the team leader, Anlisa was more than capable of dealing with cult members.

Tef was struggling, but with the help of other adventurers, he was barely managing to hold on.

As soon as Reed put away the black crown and looked up, he saw the cult leader in the cult's stronghold ahead removing the black cloth covering a square object.

Reed frowned and carefully observed the chaotic battle situation.

[A flash of black light] Reed, wielding a large sword, raced forward at incredible speed, cleaving any cultists in his path in two with a single blow.

The broadsword dragged on the ground, carving four centimeters of dirt. Seeing some believers blocking his way, he swung the broadsword and slashed indiscriminately.

Red tries to stop the cult leader from removing the black cloth; the intensity of his [schadenfreude] is a mystery.

Although its strength ranks average within the company, it currently lacks a suppressor.

Reed ran ahead of the cult leader, raised his greatsword, and slashed at him.

A look of terror flashed across the cult leader's eyes, and half of his body was sent flying.

But the cult leader's hand had already grasped the black cloth, and as his upper body flew out...

The black cloth he was holding was also pulled out.

Reed thought to himself, "This is troublesome."

The group had almost killed off the cultists and were just about to rest when they noticed the black cloth had disappeared.

"Whoosh~" The black cloth was completely pulled out...

Reed looked up...

A large iron box, 1.5 meters wide and 2 meters high, appeared before my eyes, with a hole in the middle.

There was a blinking eye inside the hole; that eye had sensed the gaze.

His eyes slanted down and met Red's gaze. Red felt something staring at him from behind.

But Red knew it was an illusion, and he chuckled twice.

Holding a large knife in one hand, he pointed it at [the gloating] eyes and said, "Iron scrap, we meet again! Ha!"

"We're not even in that lousy company anymore! If we die here, we're really dead!"

[Slashing Blade] Reed raised his greatsword above his head with one hand and slashed at [Schadenfreude].

[Unknown Vision] gloated and activated its skill.

Reed suddenly sensed danger approaching from behind and swung the knife that was about to strike the gloating thief backward.

Nothing was found...

Red realized he'd fallen for their trap! He then turned to look at the gloating...

The four mechanical legs, which were gloating, had already extended, and the height of 1.5 meters had suddenly become more than 2 meters!

The soldiers and adventurers behind were greatly surprised when they saw this.

"My God, what is this?!"

"Is that a giant?!"

"Can I really kill this thing?!"

"What should I do?"

The cult overheard the sound of the mechanical leg extending in gloating.

He suddenly burst into wild laughter

"Hahaha! God has come! God is going to crush you all into dust!"

"See that? This is our god! Now you believe, hahaha!"

Seeing the gloating crowd begin to act, Reed quickly distanced himself and turned around to find the group of cultists running towards him.

All the surviving cult members came before the gloating cultists and knelt down in worship.

"God! Kill these traitors!"

"The eye of the hole! A beautiful disaster!"

"The eye of the hole! A beautiful disaster!"

"Our new god! Grant us strength!"

[Barbed Thrust] He gloated as he raised his mechanical leg and stabbed a cultist in the chest.

The cultist stared wide-eyed, then gleefully retracted his leg, the barbs on the mechanical leg pulling out a pile of intestines and internal organs.

The cultist fell to the ground immediately.

"No, no, no! God! We are your worshippers, we are the ones who summoned you here!"

"God! Where are they? They are the ones who insult God! Ahhh!!"

"God, isn't the offering enough?! We'll have it next time! Ahhh!!"

The gloating killed several more cult members, and the remaining, more rational members immediately stood up and prepared to flee.

But the gloating mechanical legs were very long; they took two steps and pierced through the cultist's head.

The cultist's blood stained the metal box, and he gloated over being dripped with the blood of others.

The chunks of meat beneath the iron box began to bleed profusely, dripping blood onto the grass and staining it crimson.

(Just a heads-up: the fleshy mass under the gloating image does actually bleed when it walks.)

It gloated as it walked like a crab, the blood flowing beneath it staining the lush green grass crimson.

"Damn it, kill that metal box! Don't worry about our numbers! Do you think we can't overwhelm him with sheer numbers?!"

"Don't be afraid, charge forward!"

"All soldiers! Attack!"

"Mage, prepare your magic! Kill that iron box!"

After being startled by the gloating, the group regained their fighting spirit and charged forward.

It's impossible to get everyone to close their eyes this time. Even if they did, there are still other scattered cult members.

Those cultists will surely be watching with glee, eager to kill the adventurers and soldiers.

[Dazzling Spikes] gloated as he raised a mechanical leg, striking the eyes of five adventurers and one soldier with astonishing speed and precision.

"Ouch! No! I can't see anything! It hurts!!"

"Damn it, that was too fast! Damn it!! Priest, Priest!"

"I'm not doing this job! My eyes!!"

The person who was stabbed fell down because they couldn't see and were in pain in their eyes.

He was gloating and was about to kick the fallen person through the skin.

[Timely Parry] Despite his limping leg, Tef used his sword to deflect the gloating leg that was about to stab him.

With a "crack," the longsword shattered. Tef reacted quickly, falling backward and nearly having his hand pierced.

[Randomly stabbing] The four legs, which had been gloating, suddenly retracted, and the entire body supported by the four legs slammed to the ground.

The soldiers who attacked the flesh and blood organization, who were gloating over the situation, were directly smashed into mincemeat.

Then it stretched out four legs and stabbed fiercely at the person who ran towards it to attack.

Its four legs nimbly jabbed at the chests of each adventurer.

Schadenfreude is now like a defensive tower; anyone who enters its attack range will inevitably have a piece of flesh torn off by its barbs.

The adventurers all stopped in their tracks and ran out of his attack range.
