Abilities were still abilities in the end, and they had time limits. No matter what ability was used, it could not defy nature.
Thus, once the Solidification Technique lost its effect, it became ordinary stone. Under the Metal Monsters' struggles, it gradually lost its restraining power. Moreover, the Metal Monsters were immensely strong and controlled by their Puppet Hearts. If they could not be destroyed before the abilities wore off, their escape was only natural.
The Metal Monsters that had been trapped earlier in the distance broke free after the ground lost its ability reinforcement. Several Metal Monsters escaped and rejoined the others, continuing to charge at the Ability Users.
"Damn it!" Tina had no other words to say, nor did she have any other solution.
When it came to dealing with the Metal Monsters, she felt like dead weight. Her ability was powerful, but it was useless against them. She had no way to even begin.
Mofasa beside her was too low-level. It was truly difficult for him to destroy the Metal Monsters.
Although they could trap the Metal Monsters for now, they still needed to go up and make a move to destroy them. Yet everyone was being driven back by the Metal Monsters and had no way to deal with those already trapped.
