"Form a defensive line! Don't give up! We've endured how many worlds already? As Tier Five Contractors, we're not allowed to give up!"
Akro let out a roar. The engine inside his torso quickly turned fiery red, and the other nine built-in variable quantum engines activated at full power.
Hiss~
The clothes on Akro's body turned to ash. Hearing his roar, Mu Yushi stood beside him.
"Who would've thought? You, a miner from Apocalypse Paradise, actually have some guts."
Akro looked at the swarm of insects charging from afar and grinned.
"I'm not a miner! I'm an elemental mage!"
Mu Yushi stretched out both hands, and a large amount of water elemental energy gathered around him.
"Akro's right. Form a defensive line!"
More than eight hundred Contractors spontaneously formed a defensive line. Tanks, Lieyang Warriors, and melee fighters stood at the very front, ranged fighters behind them, and healers and support-types in the center.
Akro, Mu Yushi, and Avro stood among the crowd. Soon, their gazes were drawn to a tall statue half a kilometer away. A man stood atop it, with a dog, a cat, and a minotaur beside him. A black-and-blue vulture perched on the minotaur's shoulder.
"I feel like we've been tricked by that lunatic. The Bug Nest we destroyed a few days ago... was fake. Destroying it was meant to put us at ease, trigger internal conflict, and let us plunder resources throughout this world."
Avro gazed at Su Xiao in the distance and murmured.
"At a time like this, what the hell are you talking about? This is a scheming bastard from Reincarnation Paradise."
Mu Yushi rarely swore, but Avro ignored him. At a time like this, she didn't care at all.
"The three of us will join forces and find a way out."
