"The upper torso."
"The circular structure."
Noah froze.
Then immediately grabbed the blueprints.
Flipping pages rapidly.
His eyes widened.
"Oh."
Kai noticed.
"What?"
Noah pointed.
"The mana absorption array."
Silence.
Andre frowned.
"The what?"
"The thing keeping it running."
Now everybody paid attention.
Noah tapped the blueprint repeatedly.
"The demon core jump-started the machine."
"But after startup..."
"It begins gathering mana from the environment."
"The absorption array feeds the internal generators."
Kai immediately understood.
"Destroy that."
Noah nodded.
"And it starts starving."
Eric added:
"It won't stop immediately."
"But everything becomes weaker."
"The railgun."
"The drill."
"The armor."
"Everything."
Andre smiled.
"Now we're talking."
Unfortunately—
The GFR suddenly moved.
And not in a good way.
Inside the cockpit—
Udit had finished reading the damage reports.
Several systems were compromised.
Shield destroyed.
Stabilizers damaged.
Power routing disrupted.
He slowly cracked his neck.
"Fine."
The machine's right arm transformed.
The railgun emerged.
At the same time—
The left arm shifted.
The drill activated.
