Final Life Online-Chapter 241: Sun Island XI

The beam cut a long line through the stone floor, melting everything it touched.

Caria yelled,

"It shoots like a dragon!! But worse!!"

Aria shouted,

"Hit it while it’s cooling down! Big attacks always have a delay!"

Rhys dashed in first.

He slashed the Colossus’s leg with Water Blade.

Sparks flew—but barely any damage showed.

Lyra appeared on the other side and stabbed the joint.

A thin crack formed.

Caria jumped and brought her axe down with a roar.

The metal dented—but not much.

Sophia cast ice magic on the joints to slow them down.

Puddle fired Light Bullets at the glowing lines.

"Pew pew pew—break already!!"

The Colossus lifted its arm.

Aria gasped.

"Watch out!!"

A huge metal fist swung down—

RHOOOOM!

Rhys pushed Caria out of the way.

He blocked with Mana Shield—

BAM!

The force sent him sliding across the platform.

Aqua rushed to him.

"Rhys! Are you okay?!"

He stood back up, shaking his hand.

"Yeah. But we need a better plan. Hitting the legs isn’t enough."

Sophia pointed at the glowing core in its chest.

"That’s its power source. If we break that, the whole thing falls."

Aria nodded.

"But it’s protected by armor. We need to open it first."

Caria cracked her knuckles.

"Then let’s force it open."

Rhys lifted his sword.

"Alright. We go for the chest. Lyra, Aria—distract it. Sophia, freeze its joints. Caria, break the chest plate. Puddle, support everyone."

Puddle saluted.

"Puddle will do her best!"

The Colossus raised both arms now—charging another attack.

Rhys shouted:

"Everyone move!!"

The battle for the final stage had begun, and the giant machine was just getting warmed up.

The Colossus’s chest glowed brighter—hot white light building up inside.

Aria shouted,

"It’s charging again! That one will be even worse than before!"

Everyone split up fast.

A blast of light fired from its chest—

FWOOOOOM!

—destroying a whole chunk of the platform behind them.

Rhys dashed in again, circling the giant.

"Lyra, Aria! Keep its eyes on you!"

Lyra flashed forward, cutting the Colossus’s arm joints.

Aria ran in the opposite direction, firing arrows of pure light at its face.

The machine turned toward them, confused for a moment.

Sophia froze its knees again.

A thick layer of ice crawled up the metal.

"Its movement is slowing down! Keep going!"

Caria jumped high, lifting her axe with both hands.

"OPEN UP!!"

She slammed the axe onto the Colossus’s chest plate—

KRAAANG!

A crack appeared...but still didn’t break.

Puddle floated beside her, firing more Light Bullets into the crack.

"Go! Go! Go! Break the shiny thing!!"

The bullets hit the crack again and again until the metal finally split a little wider.

Rhys rushed in.

"Almost there! Keep pushing!"

But the Colossus suddenly grabbed Caria with its massive hand.

Caria yelled,

"HEY—PUT ME DOWN!!"

Aria’s eyes widened.

"Caria!!"

The machine lifted her higher and higher, preparing to throw her off the platform.

Rhys sprinted forward and jumped, using Mana Shield to block the machine’s fingers.

"Not happening!"

He slashed the giant’s hand with a glowing Vertical Slash—

SHAAK!

Metal tore apart, freeing Caria.

She fell—and Puddle caught her with a soft water cushion.

Puddle puffed her cheeks.

"Bad robot! No throwing friends!"

The Colossus staggered backward, its chest plate cracked wide open now.

Inside, the glowing power core pulsed like a beating heart.

Sophia shouted,

"That’s the weak point! One good hit will break it!"

Rhys tightened his grip on his sword.

"Then let’s finish this."

The final attack was ready to begin.

Rhys rushed toward the Colossus, his sword glowing with mana.

Lyra appeared beside him. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"I’ll cover you. Just hit the core!"

Aria took aim from behind.

"I’ll shoot the cracks open more!"

Sophia lifted her staff, ice swirling around her.

"I’ll freeze its legs again—don’t let it move!"

Caria cracked her knuckles.

"Let’s smash that thing once and for all!"

Puddle floated above everyone, glowing with light.

"Puddle will help too! Big support mode!"

The Colossus tried to stand straight, but its frozen knees creaked.

It raised one arm, trying to block its chest.

Aria fired a light arrow—

SHWIP!

It hit the arm joint, making it drop slightly.

Lyra dashed in, blades flashing—

CLINK! CLINK!

She cut the joint again and again.

Rhys jumped onto the arm and ran up toward the core.

The Colossus roared like grinding gears.

Lights flashed across its body.

Sophia shouted,

"It’s trying to overload! Hurry!!"

Caria leaped up and smashed the chest plate again—

KRA-KOOM!

The cracked metal finally burst open, leaving the core exposed.

Puddle fired all five Light Bullets at once—

"Pew! Pew! Pew! Pew! Pew!"

The glowing heart flickered.

Rhys reached the top of the Colossus, right in front of the core.

He took a deep breath.

His sword shined with bright blue and white energy—

Water + Mana + all his strength.

"THIS ENDS NOW!!"

He thrust his sword straight into the core.

BOOOOOM!

A huge blast of light spread through the Colossus.

The giant machine froze.

Cracks ran across its entire body.

Then—

KRRRRRSHH!

It exploded into shining pieces, falling like metal rain across the platform.

Rhys landed on the ground, breathing hard.

Caria laughed.

"WE DID IT!!"

Aria smiled and lowered her bow.

"That was amazing."

Sophia let out a long breath.

"Finally... it’s over."

Puddle spun in the air happily.

"Team victory!! No more angry robot!!"

Lyra flicked Rhys’s forehead gently.

"Next time, warn me before you jump into a giant’s chest."

Rhys grinned.

"Right. My bad."

The final stage was clear. The path forward... was finally open.

A soft chime echoed across the platform.

[Final Stage Cleared]

[Rewards Calculating...]

Golden light rose from the broken pieces of the Colossus and drifted into the air before splitting into several glowing orbs—one for each party member.

Aria caught hers first.

"Oh—equipment drops."

Sophia nodded.

"And crafting materials too. Mechanical cores... these are rare."

Caria lifted her orb and smirked.

"I better get something cool for smashing that thing."

Rhys held his glowing orb in both hands.

It pulsed softly, then burst into several items.

A new pair of boots.

A skill scroll.

A strange metal shard shaped like a triangle.

He blinked.

"...Weird. What’s this shard for?"
