“?!” Both Nathan and Selena widened their eyes, not expecting they would fall together.
Still, both of them were able to remain calm. The first thing that Nathan did was actually turn his body around as he pointed his palm at Nidhogg.
All of a sudden, Nidhogg and Anubis disappeared. Because of the distance, Risa and the others had their links disconnected as well. Everything except for David disappeared from the sky.
Nathan wanted to summon Nidhogg again, but this time beneath him. However, the two mutants actually used their strongest strength to leap toward them, even if it meant crushing the bodies of the aliens they rode.
“Nathan!” Selena raised her staff.
Nathan widened his eyes when he saw a pair of palms appear in their paths. “Huh?”
The palms stopped the two mutants. It tried to cut the palms into two, but surprisingly, their blade only pierced through half of its thickness.
After that, Selena spun her body and saw the massive aliens waiting for them on the ground. Some of them seemed to be planning to jump.
That was why Selena gathered all her Ena into a single point, forming an explosive bullet. It was so huge that its size surpassed that of Nidhogg.
She released that explosive bullet toward the ground.
The aliens were unaware of this terrifying bullet as it landed upon them.
The moment the explosive bullet touched the aliens, it actually deformed the aliens until it touched the ground and exploded.
A huge crack appeared on the ground as the rocks started to break off the ground as if they were being pulverized. The burst was violent and dispersed in all directions, blasting all the aliens.
It was so powerful that over two hundred aliens felt its impact directly.
Because of that blast, not a single ground alien would be messing with them for the next two minutes.
Nathan immediately summoned Nidhogg and Anubis underneath them, flying not far above the ground. Nidhogg had to destroy all the trees just to move, but it couldn’t be helped, since Nathan and Selena were already too low.
Anubis immediately sent forth the bandages to catch Selena and Nathan since falling into Nidhogg’s back from that height would cause a heavy injury for them.
After that, Anubis caught the falling David when he was about to hit the ground.
Selena hurriedly summoned the three familiars.
“Selena!” Risa called her name, but Selena simply waved her hand. “I never thought it would actually work.”
“You…” Nathan looked shocked. Blood was leaking out of her mouth, nose, and eyes.
For a moment, it was as if Selena utilized her untapped potential. Her brain was being fried from the inside.
She dropped to her knees while panting heavily.
Nathan could only clench his fists because there was something more important.
“Everyone. Attack the aliens again. We have to break through their rank. Nidhogg is to fly as low as possible. Now that the ground aliens couldn’t attack us anymore, we have to slip past the flying aliens from below and head to the southwest.” Nathan pointed in that direction while screaming inwardly, ‘For God’s sake.
In the movies, you will have minutes to actually look after your partner with no stray arrow or soldier coming.’
Yin Zhen was fuming, especially toward Nathan. However, he didn’t say anything foolish. They truly had to take advantage of this situation to pass the aliens. At least, before the mature class let out another roar.
“Tsk.” Yin Zhen clicked his tongue before leaping into the sky to stop several aliens. Risa and Sasha did the same while Anubis focused on healing Selena.
David looked after Selena while Nathan observed the battlefield.
“David. Where is it?”
“What?” David looked confused.
“I’m talking about the military camp whose commander is supposed to be stronger than your superior.” Nathan was visibly distressed.
“!!!” David was dumbfounded. Now that they thought about it, the aliens would definitely catch up to them, so instead of going back, he actually chose to head to the military camp much further south.
Considering the strength of the commander, it wouldn’t be weird for them to seek refuge there. Even if that camp was besieged, it would be less likely to fall compared to their original camp.
That was why Nathan chose to go there instead of returning. There was also one more reason.
He didn’t know how a lot of aliens suddenly appeared on their flank, which caused that encirclement.
That was why he didn’t want to go back, lest there would be more aliens waiting for them. And unknowingly, that was the correct decision. After all, the camp was besieged by a lot of aliens at the moment.
David pointed in the same direction. “If we are able to fly for another two minutes, we should be able to find it.”
“One minute.” Nathan’s expression turned grim as he turned around, watching the flying aliens coming from behind.
He had to stop them as long as possible.
“I will join too. I have exerted 90% of my Ena, but I can still shoot some of them down.” Selena bit her lips, enduring the pain.
Nathan knew what kind of personality she had. She would insist on it if he rejected her, so Nathan said, “Save your energy. We need it in the end. I’ll tell you about it later.”
Selena looked unconvinced, but there was nothing she could do if that was true. Meanwhile, Nathan’s expression turned grim.
He could feel Anubis’ Ena flowing into him, but he didn’t say anything.
There was one thing that he wanted to try after learning from the Fairy Queen. Find your next read on m,vlemp _yr.
Multiple bullets appeared in rapid succession as Nathan shot them one at a time, targeting the aliens from the nearest one.
The alien had to maneuver so hard, because even if it managed to avoid the first one, the second bullet would come right after.
Nathan was trying the concept of automatic firing. He summoned a bullet as he fired one and repeated it continuously.
It took a toll on his mind, but he just silently endured it because he had just made a big mistake.
He didn’t realize that the military base was actually in sight.
