"Shut up. Stay alert. Everyone, prepare to attack the big insect," Rhine shouted.
The moment he saw the big insect tremble again and spit out a mouthful of mist, he immediately gave the order.
This time, he used his lightning ability in advance. Before one protective shield had even been damaged, he formed another one around it. Being prepared, they successfully blocked this Absolute Zero attack.
The big insect seemed intelligent. Seeing that its move had failed, it decisively changed tactics and attacked Rhine's team again. As it unleashed the attack, it turned and crawled toward one side of the cave at great speed, moving nothing like a fat insect should have been able to.
Boom!
Layers of ice spikes rapidly formed above the protective shield, then crashed down on it. The collision produced a tremendous noise that shook the entire cave.
Fortunately, something here seemed to isolate the echoes. Despite the enormous noise, no reverberation followed, sparing everyone's ears.
But Rhine was not having an easy time either. After the protective shield came under attack, he could only increase his ability output and thicken the entire shield. Only then did he barely withstand the ice spikes. This time, he did not rebuild the lightning shield. His previous move had mainly been meant to exhaust Absolute Zero, while this time, the lightning shield only needed to withstand the ice spikes.
Although Rhine was a double S-Class ability user, he felt that this big insect's ice ability definitely surpassed his own. It might not have reached the level of three S-Class, but it was probably still somewhat stronger than him.
After blocking the ice spikes, he immediately ordered all the Ability Users to protect themselves. He also had several higher-level Ability Users pursue the big insect with him and attack it.
