"Commander Landon! Help!"
In the Arena, the Spark Squad had run headlong into Veil of Truth Oni Chaos, nearly scaring themselves senseless.
They had seen with perfect clarity how the ninth-rank beings had been assimilated like dumplings dropped into a pot, utterly unable to resist.
And now they, a bunch of small fry, were supposed to face an enemy like that?! Us, fight Oni Chaos?
Was this for real?
Oni Chaos's sub-body had no such thoughts. From the leader of these suddenly appearing insects, It sensed an aura that displeased It.
Its immense amorphous body shifted slightly and spread toward them, intending to investigate.
The Spark Squad fled with every ounce of strength they had, but trapped within the enormous Magic Circle maintained by the ninth-rank beings, they had nowhere to run.
"What do we do, Lord Dark Raven? Is there any way to deal with it?"
Once again placed under everyone's desperate hopes, Landon was under immense pressure as well and could only urgently seek Dark Raven's advice in his mind.
"Are you insane? Idiot! This is an enemy we can never defeat!"
Dark Raven rarely cursed. His deafening roar echoed through Landon's mental space.
"Stop hesitating, Landon! Use the Nirvana Dimension Shuttle talent you awakened and escape immediately! This formation cannot stop you! As long as you live, there is still hope for everything!"
"No! I will never abandon my companions!"
But Landon's answer was as unwavering as ever.
Determination shone in his dark eyes. Facing the invisible mist sweeping in from afar, the youth of the rebel army stood before the others, shielding them behind him.
This was his will, and the heart of a strong man that had carried him from weakness to where he stood today. He would never willingly abandon a single companion, even
