People carrying ranged weapons began attacking from a distance, gloating.

Some people with weaker mental fortitude were frightened by the gloating attacks earlier and are now at a loss.

Archers do negligible damage to gloating; some spend a fortune on flintlock muskets, yet their damage is roughly the same as that of bows and arrows.

There are only about 50 mages in the party, and that includes healing classes like priests. Their spell damage is only slightly higher than that of bows and arrows.

Sensing that it couldn't be attacked, it prepared to stand up using its four mechanical legs.

[Final Blow] Just as Schadenfreude was about to get up, Reed rushed over and used a special attack on him.

The gloating creature was forced to retreat several steps after being hit, its four mechanical legs taking several more steps back.

It was obvious that the attack had caused significant damage to the gloating creature, but its eye remained completely unchanged.

Still calm, still blinking, without anger, without fear, without rage, nothing at all...

Reed felt that this machine box was insensitive to pain, just like it was at the company before.

They beat him so badly at the company that he was practically skin and bones, but his eyes were still blinking, and he didn't seem to feel any pain.

He steadied himself, a smug look on his face, and blinked twice at the crowd attacking him.

[Everywhere] blinked wildly with schadenfreude, then suddenly stopped after a few seconds.

All the adventurers and soldiers suddenly sensed danger nearby, frantically brandishing their weapons and shouting.

But there were no enemies or threats, only his own companions nearby.

The wildly swung weapon struck one of his companions nearby. These people didn't know why, but they just felt a sense of danger.

After ten seconds of chaos, everyone regained their senses. They first looked at the blood-stained weapons in their hands.

They saw their own bloodstains again; some people had fallen, and some had died in the chaos.

"Aaaaaah! Damn it, that was definitely it just now!"

"Jera!! You fucking killed him!!"

"Everyone calm down! This is an illusion created by the monster! Everyone, surround and attack this monster!"

As minister, Kesen suppressed his instinct for danger and even dodged a soldier's longsword.

Rena injured an adventurer with a medicine bottle, and after recovering, she found herself with several knife wounds.

Tef slashed one person, and was also slashed.

Anlisa's armor blocked the blows of others, but she herself killed a soldier...

Reed was unaffected and stayed far away from these people.

Just as everyone recovered, a mechanical voice suddenly came from their gloating bodies.

[Mode: Switch] A circular saw protruded from the small holes on both sides, seemingly gloating.

A metal limb was attached to the base of the circular saw, and there were still some undried bloodstains on the saw.

The dark circular saw couldn't reflect light, and it sauntered over, slowly walking towards the crowd.

The technology in this world hasn't advanced to the point of having a circular saw, so no one knows what those two round things are that they're gloating over.

"What are those two round things? And the spikes too!"

"It must be another attack method of his! Looks like it'll be even harder to fight him now!"

"Although I don't know what it is, be careful! Don't get hurt."

Reed gripped the greatsword in one hand and cracked his neck, confirming that his gloating had indeed been greatly amplified.

Whether it was the mental attack through his eyes or the attack methods of his mechanical legs...

There was nothing like that in the company; he would only occasionally poke forward with his leg and then periodically pull out a circular saw to attack.

What's even more bizarre is that the gloating person actually pulled out a circular saw and had no intention of taking it back.

After a brief recovery, the group gripped their weapons and continued their advance.

[Concentrate] Reed put the pipe in his mouth and held a large knife in one hand, assuming an attack stance.

[Feather Blade Upward] Just as Reed was about to attack with his circular saw while gloating, he turned his greatsword downward and then flicked it upward!

The broadsword slashed upwards, striking the gloating flesh, and with its immense force, it forced the gloating creature back several steps.

Before the gloating could even settle in, the others shouted and charged forward.

The weapon's damage landed on the gloating figure, and Reed followed up, slashing him a few times.

[Saw-sounding revelry] Two circular saws, seemingly gloating, trembled and were quickly swung towards the crowd in front.

"Ahhhhh!!"

"My body!! I can see my body!!"

"So fast!!"

The roar of the circular saw, coupled with the screams of blood and flesh being cut apart.

The gloating hand moved so fast that Reed couldn't dodge and was slashed several times across the chest.

Kerson, Tef, and Anlisa were almost cut in half, but luckily they only suffered some scratches.

The magician behind cast a spell, creating a large white sphere of light for the person in front.

The circular saw, swung with schadenfreude, struck the sphere of light, and the sphere shattered quickly.

Everyone took this opportunity to run away. This was an attack, and more than 30 people died!

Even wearing armor couldn't stop them from gloating; the iron armor was as flimsy as paper.

Everyone felt a great fear of schadenfreude, and even Minister Kerson broke out in a cold sweat.

Everyone ran out, and when they instinctively looked back, they found Reed still standing there, ready to block at any moment.

Tef quickly waved and shouted, "Redner! Back off! Don't hold out, attack later!"

Anlisa picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at Reed, mainly to see if he was being controlled. "Reed, can you hear us?! Back off!"

Reid shook his head without speaking, his eyes fixed on the shattering orb of light.

The magician, sweating profusely, couldn't hold on any longer, and with a "crack," the ball of light shattered.

The circular saw aimed at Reed's head, but Reed blocked it and pushed it forward.

Quickly switch to a reverse grip on the knife, then grip it tightly and deliver a gloating slash.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Reed used his incredible speed to slash three times.

[Saw into Shreds] Gleefully ceasing his indiscriminate attacks, he leaned back with a chainsaw, charged up, and then swiftly attacked Reed.

[Agile Dodge] Reed jumped to the left to dodge the gloating attack, and then slashed twice horizontally on the opponent's left side.

[Dazzling Spikes] Gleefully, a mechanical leg extends and pierces Reed's bandaged eye.

Redger blocked the way and postponed his gloating for a while.

[Slashing Blade] Reed raised his greatsword above his head and slashed fiercely at the gloating figure.

He gloated and used the saw blade of a circular saw to block it from above his head.

Although the blow was blocked, the circular saw sustained some noticeable damage and its rotation speed was reduced.

[Stare!] A gloating gaze suddenly fixed on Reed, meeting his eyes.

Red suddenly had an urge to gouge out his own eyes, feeling that doing so would be a relief.

[Breaking free!] Reed shook his head, regaining his senses.

Gloating and psychological attacks are ineffective...

Seeing how easily Reed was fighting, the fear in the crowd was rekindled.

He smeared some medicine powder on the wound haphazardly, then picked up the long knife and continued charging upwards!

"Charge!! Kill this metal box completely!"

"Today we'll be heroes! We absolutely cannot let this metal box get away! Otherwise, it will surely kill even more people!"

"I'm going to kill you and make my brothers pay! And those cult members too!"

[Taking a Risk] Kerson gripped the holy sword tightly and charged forward, slashing down one of the gloating mechanical legs.

The mechanical leg had obvious damage; the outer metal sheet had been cut away, revealing the bright red flesh underneath.

All attacks landed on the gloating ones again.

With a gloating swipe of his mechanical leg, he knocked everyone down, then used his four legs to prop himself up and staggered back two meters.

Everyone stood up again and looked at the gloating figures in the distance.

"Look, he's bleeding! Hahaha!"

"The fight was so chaotic that I didn't even notice he was bleeding!"

"So this thing isn't made entirely of iron! Is that flesh inside his body?"

That's right, gloating resulted in bloodshed! His iron armor was worn down bit by bit by everyone's attacks.

In some places, pieces of metal had fallen to the ground, revealing the blood-red, normally functioning, writhing chunks of flesh inside.

The four mechanical legs bled the most, and the circular saw had some cuts from Reed's earlier strike.

Now, besides human blood, his own blood is also on his body, fueling his schadenfreude.

The exposed flesh was bleeding, blood from the attack.

Red hadn't expected that the gloating person would actually back down; no one pushed him back, he backed down on his own!

A red light seemed to flash in Reed's bandaged eyes as he slowly walked towards the gloating figure, gripping his large sword in one hand.

Reed remarked to the gloating man, "Without the suppressor, you've gotten a bit smarter."

After saying that, Reed charged forward again towards the gloating man whose body was almost half covered in blood!
