Inside Po Jun's cockpit, Beidou watched Zhurong charge at Bahamut. Then its greatsword swept across, sending a sheet of scarlet flames flying.
The Nightmare Dragon was caught off guard and was swept from the sky by a single strike from Zhurong.
"Luckily, the Heavenly Fire Squad arrived in time. Otherwise, at this distance, even Po Jun wouldn't have reached that dragon in time to stop it."
Beidou sighed.
Po Jun's killing power was peerless, but it wasn't suited for long-range attacks, and its mobility was only average.
At this distance, even if Beidou had wanted to, he wouldn't have been able to stop Bahamut before it fired.
After the Heavenly Fire Squad took down Louis's Back Garden, they had returned to Fog City. They had happened to arrive just in time.
Beidou continued, "The Heavenly Fire Squad encountered Bahamut on their way to Edinburgh to regroup. It seems this dragon's descent upon Fog City today wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision."
"Is it planning to build a nest in Fog City?"
"Unfortunately, it made the wrong calculation."
In the distance.
There was a boom.
Then dust and smoke surged into the sky and slowly spread, forming a mushroom-like shape.
After being knocked down, Bahamut let out an enraged roar and climbed out of the shallow crater it had created. A dark force field rapidly expanded around it.
The dragon spread out its Hunting Ground.
Within its home ground, Bahamut's Aura surged. Its two berserk dragon eyes looked toward the distance, toward the scarlet mecha that had descended from the sky.
Zhurong landed on the ground. Inside the cockpit, Luo Yan's expression remained calm.
He stared at the giant crawling beast ahead, then controlled the mecha as it charged toward Bahamut.
At the same time.
Dozens of giant beasts surged toward Fog City
