At that, Xiao Ye—the older Security Officer—felt his heart jolt.
Though the kid was only an intern, he had exceptional talent and was highly proficient in both using his abilities and basic skills.
During previous sparring sessions within the bureau, he had even defeated many Second-tier seniors.
In terms of abilities alone, he was better than some Security Officers who had worked for years.
He was also steady and remarkably seasoned in his actions, nothing like a young man who had only just graduated high school.
So when he said that, Xiao Ye had no doubt he was almost certainly right.
An Aberrant with a High-tier Sequence... and Second Order, too. If they got serious, the three of them would probably struggle to handle the situation.
There was another Second Order in the fifth squad, but they were still on their way.
The captain was Third-tier, but wasn't suited to fighting head-on.
Xiao Ye's own abilities were middle-of-the-road. He had Sequence 155, the [War] path, and the [Survivor] ability: able to fight and take a beating, a standard close-combat berserker.
Against a [Cataclysm] Aberrant skilled in ranged attacks—and one with a High-tier Sequence at that—they were at a major disadvantage.
But he didn't back down. He stepped forward to shield Ye Chenyang, his aura surging until the rain around them took on a faint red tinge.
Ye Chenyang was a top-tier talent with boundless potential. He couldn't let anything happen to him here.
Xiao Ye didn't turn around, but his voice reached Ye Chenyang's mind through the Mind Net.
"Can you tell what her ability is?"
He vaguely remembered the abilities near the top of the Sequence list, but the way the other person had attacked just now was strange. It was hard to be sure.
"Not sure."
