Flames in Bloom (Big Chapter Seeking Monthly Ticket)

These Guided Missiles were much closer to He Ao than the Mecha Squad below.

Moreover, these missiles were clearly targeting He Ao first. They were incredibly fast; almost the moment He Ao saw the points of light with his naked eye, the massive shapes of missiles emerged from the night.
