Meteoric Salvation, but Neither Vast nor a Meteor / Savior of Light, but Not Penglai Temple Jiuxiao

"Retreat!"

Knowing that Gwen's strength was unfathomable, Seele did not hesitate to lead her team back several meters, leaving space for Gwen.

Suddenly, golden flames ignited on the two greatswords in Gwen's hands, transforming into two golden arcs of light that swept past the horde of Fragmentum Monster without hindrance as the blades were swung...

Chapter 349 The Great Desolate Starfall, but it is neither a Great Wilderness nor a Star Falls.

"It's quite hard..."

Gwen casually flicked two fiery sword energies that could form the Demon Seal Slash, slicing away the piles of monsters in front of him as easily as cutting melons and vegetables. Looking at the Fragmentum Monster, which was wrapped in golden flames but was still churning and whose aura was even growing stronger, he couldn't help but mutter to himself.

With Gwen's current strength, the power of the flaming sword energy he unleashes is terrifying even without combining it with the Demon Seal Slash.

After all, the golden flames weren't just a change of color; they were the result of being influenced by Cascade Energy.

Even though the monster was hit by those two sword energies, it did not die instantly, which aroused Gwen's interest.

"This is...

Outer Universe Flame?

No wonder, it has innate fire resistance due to its fire attribute, and... it probably has the ability to adapt to different types of fire.

With a slight squint, Gwen glanced at the figure enveloped in golden flames and immediately recognized its true form.

The Outer Universe Flame, an elite enemy in the game, has a very intimidating description, such as "parasitizing the foundational structure of the world to draw energy" and "its armor is engulfed in the flames of a star's core," but to Gwen now, it's just a minor enemy with slightly higher fire resistance.

Gwen casually sheathed one sword, pressed the tip of the other sword against the ground, and then slashed forward fiercely. A dazzling golden sword aura rose from the ground, instantly slicing through the distance between them and splitting the still struggling Outer Universe Flame in two. The remaining corpse also quickly turned into nothingness in the golden flames.

"It seems that we still need to improve our control over the energy provided by the Cascade Light Source."

Seeing the golden hue appear in his attack, Gwen murmured to himself, then turned to look at the assault team behind him, all staring at him in shock—

"Seele, how is your team doing?"

If there are any wounded, I can help transport them back to the rear.

"Thank you, Gwen."

Seele, whose long hair was originally loose, was now neatly tied up. Instead of wearing the dark blue dress that Gwen was familiar with, Seele was wearing a lighter Iron Guard uniform. She glanced at her teammates behind her before shaking her head at Gwen.

"However, not for now. We don't have any seriously wounded soldiers who need to be moved to the rear."

Even though Seele knew Gwen was very strong, seeing Gwen casually annihilate the monster horde that had made their progress impossible with just two sword strikes still made her look at Gwen with a hint of caution.

Kids who grow up in the downtown area may be rude at times, but they know how to respect power.

"Hmm, it seems you're no longer just a butterfly of the Fire Moth, but a qualified Iron Guard squad leader."

Noticing Seele's actions, Gwen smiled and praised her.

"Forehead..."

Seele was taken aback, not expecting Gwen to know her nickname. She was momentarily at a loss for words, but the initial sense of unfamiliarity she felt dissipated considerably.

Gwen didn't have much time to reminisce with Seele, and continued—

"Your squad was the last to call for support and is also the deepest inland unit. Don't continue advancing for now, lest you become separated from the main force. Wait for the reinforcements to catch up before continuing."

This is an order from command. Please check the operational communications; you may have missed them due to the intensity of the fighting.

"Ah?"

Upon hearing this, Seele immediately looked at the communications officer, only to be met with an embarrassed expression on his face, as if he were about to cry.

"Okay, anyway, thank you for your help. We'll wait here for the main force to join us."

Seele didn't reprimand the former Fire Moth member, after all, the battle had just been intense. Instead, she saluted Gwen.

"Okay, remember to conserve your energy—"

Gwen returned the greeting, and was about to say something, but then he sensed that another bead had been broken, and immediately changed his mind—

"Here, take this. Don't hesitate to use it when you need it. I'm leaving now..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Gwen in Seele's eyes transformed into a golden shooting star in the sky.

"This... sir, is truly powerful..."

Looking at the snowfield ahead, which was originally crowded with Fragmentum Monster but is now empty, Seele's lieutenant swallowed hard and couldn't help but admire it, while cautiously glancing at Seele.

"Captain, do you know that person?"

"That's a friend of the Great Guardian. I've met him at the meeting before."

Seele felt there wasn't much to say during their previous meeting, so she offered a casual explanation before issuing the order—

"Everyone, stay put and defend, wait for the main force to arrive."

As Seele gave the order, Gwen, trailing a long, fiery tail, crashed into a horde of Fragmentum Monster like Great Desolate Starfall.

Compared to Seele's side just now, there are more monsters here, and the elite monsters are also more concentrated. In addition to the big guys like the Wind Caller and the Outer Universe Ice /Flame, there are even more troublesome enemies like the Imaginary Weaver.

Under the onslaught of this monster horde, the elite squad here, even with the fire support of the main force behind them, was struggling to hold on. Among them, the Pathstrider was particularly vulnerable, with blood spurting from his body even more vivid than his red hair.

"It seems that the Rift... or rather the Star Core, is also responding to Belobog's counterattack."

While muttering to himself, Gwen's actions were anything but slow. With a thought, he immediately cast the group shield he had just borrowed from Gepard onto all the warriors who were engaged in close combat with the Fragmentum Monster. The dazzling golden light instantly illuminated the shadows cast by the monster horde.

As Gwen unleashed the group shield, his twin swords blazed with golden flames once more. Amidst the surging sword energy, the monsters that had been surging forward like a tide fell like wheat, instantly eliciting cheers from the troops behind him.

After cutting off the monster horde's advance, Gwen did not immediately go forward to eliminate the swarm of elite monsters, but instead turned around and began clearing out the monsters that were engaged in close combat with the Iron Guards.

As for those elite monsters...

"Fire!"

Serval, who had arrived at the front lines with the heavy weapons of the main force, saw the isolation zone created by Gwen and her eyes lit up. After adjusting her angle, she ordered the heavy weapons, which had been hesitant to fire for fear of accidentally injuring friendly forces, to open fire.

The fact that these swearing Automatons proves that even though Belobog's technological level has declined, its military industry has not completely stalled.

While heavy firepower, with its limited mobility, struggles to be effective against a diverse array of high-threat, highly mobile enemy units, it still demonstrates its formidable power when the battle line is stabilized.

After Gwen helped the frontline troops clear out the horde of monsters that had already surged forward, the distant monster horde was completely covered by continuous artillery fire. The booming explosions even made Gwen take notice.

After all, the sight of thousands of cannons firing simultaneously, with shells whizzing past one's head, is undeniably impressive.

Chapter 350 The Savior of Light, but not the Penglai Si Jiuxiao.

"If you had called for backup any later, you'd probably be lying on the ground by now."

Using the gentle water element to cleanse the red-haired youth of the residual Imaginary Energy in his wounds, Gwen ignored the cannonballs and lasers constantly streaking across his head and teased the youth in front of him.

"Well, I just wanted to hold out a little longer so you could help the others more, but I didn't expect the Fragmentum Monster to suddenly increase so much."

The red-haired youth, who had almost been disemboweled, gave a somewhat shy smile upon hearing this, scratching his head awkwardly.

This underground boxing champion, who was originally destined for a certain path, may never one day become that so-called boxing champion.

Thanks to the changes brought about by the Great Guardian Cocolia, the Lower City is now in Order, and even if there are still some dark corners, he can deal with them as Silvermane Guard.

"Therefore, we must obey orders and call for support when necessary."

Gwen tapped the young man's wound impatiently, causing Luka's face to turn pale.

"The battlefield is not a place like any other, and it's not something you can just hold on to. If I hadn't arrived in time, you would be missing an arm or a leg by now."

As they spoke, Gwen moved swiftly, delivering the young man back to the field hospital for proper treatment.

And here, Gwen also encountered a "familiar face"—

Natasha, an army medic, is performing surgery on a wounded soldier in a makeshift operating room.

This other-world counterpart of the island's Boom Crow, Natasha, who was originally destined to become the leader of the Fire Moth and maintain basic Order in the sealed-off lower city, is now just an ordinary military medic...

Perhaps she's not so ordinary after all. After all, as a Pathstrider of Path of Abundance, Natasha's ability to treat many injuries, especially external wounds, far surpasses that of others.

Seemingly sensing Gwen's presence, Natasha had just completed a simple surgical procedure, looked up.

Upon seeing Gwen, Natasha waved in greeting.

While acting as a firefighter to support the various elite teams, Gwen also continuously sent seriously wounded soldiers to the hospital, buying them precious time for treatment.

However, that was all; Natasha didn't even have time to chat with Gwen for a few words before rushing off to treat the wounded.

Despite having Gwen as a powerful ally, the field hospital still had many wounded soldiers.

After all, this is Yaliluo VI, and this is a counterattack by Belobog.

Whether to appease the Belobog or to ensure that the Silvermane Guard, after this massive expansion, could truly be tempered by the flames of war, Gwen could not completely overstep his bounds.

After all, Gwen couldn't stay in Belobog forever; this protracted war ultimately required the people of Belobog to persevere.

What Gwen could do was help them deal with those superhuman enemies who were far beyond their capabilities and would inevitably cause them huge casualties, thus reducing unnecessary losses.

In this world where extraordinary powers truly exist, the scenario of "soldiers fighting soldiers, generals fighting generals," which is basically only found in fiction and novels, also actually exists.

Asking a group of ordinary soldiers to deal with elite monsters in the Rift is truly asking the impossible.

After a moment's thought, Gwen did not leave the field hospital, but went to Natasha's side and carefully observed her treatment of the wounded.

Gwen was observing was not whether Natasha's movements were correct, but rather to see how the Pathstrider of Path of Abundance achieved their healing effects.

If possible, Gwen would like to try to learn from this.

After all, because he lacked Cosmo, much of the limited information recorded in the Sanctuary healer's notes that Gwen had previously obtained was unusable.

In this situation, this treatment method, which doesn't require a special system, might offer Gwen inspiration—

Gwen still remembered that he also had to remove the scars left on the Wuse Huohuo from his poor medical skills back then.

Natasha didn't mind Gwen observing her from the sidelines and let Gwen watch.

Although she hadn't expected Gwen to want to learn or imitate, Natasha still held great goodwill towards Gwen based on his Gwen to today's great counterattack.

Just as Gwen had been silently observing for a while, and even combined some things he had seen in the journal with his own thoughts, and was about to try to offer Natasha some advice, he felt the sensation of several beads shattering at the same time, which made Gwen abandon the idea.

With a furrowed brow, Gwen sensed his location, quickly rushed out of the field hospital, and then transformed into a streak of light, dashing towards the front lines.

In Gwen's perception, the shattered golden beads had all come together, clearly indicating that something unusual had happened.

Upon landing, Gwen understood, without needing any explanation, why everyone had simultaneously crushed the golden jewel.

From the hilltop that served as a temporary command post, Gwen could see swarms of Fragmentum Monster surging in from afar, including a large number of elite monsters of various kinds.

"Gwen, the Rift's counterattack is coming. Our frontline troops have not yet set up their defenses, and heavy firepower has not been fully deployed. I'm afraid we will not be able to withstand it."

Upon seeing Gwen arrive, Cocolia, whose face had been tense, finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly explained why she had summoned Gwen.

After witnessing firsthand how Gwen harvested the Fragmentum Monster like a farmer harvesting leeks, regardless of their strength, Cocolia's confidence in Gwen increased significantly.

Cocolia's main confidence in launching this counterattack stemmed from the increased productivity and military technology of Belobog after receiving technical support from the mall, as well as equipment that could theoretically counter the Rift phenomenon.

But now, Gwen has become Cocolia's greatest asset.

"Do your best, and I will stop any monsters that try to break into the position by conventional means."

Upon hearing this, Gwen immediately understood his mission, took off the two greatswords from his back, and a golden aura rose from his body.

Upon hearing Gwen's reply and seeing the familiar golden aura rising from his body, the officers, Seele, Bronya, and the Pathstrider gathered there all showed expressions of relief.

"I will have the Silvermane Guard complete the deployment as soon as possible to provide you with support."

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Cocolia, the Great Guardian, also breathed a sigh of relief, a softening expression appearing on her taut, beautiful face.

"Just do your best."

Gwen nodded in agreement, without saying anything more.

Gwen will privately discuss the issues exposed by the Silvermane Guard with Cocolia later.

Now, Gwen needs to first become the savior of light, radiating golden light.
