"You two, go to the tenth floor and hold off the enemy. I'll settle Asagi in first, then I'll go."

After saying that, William opened another spatial gap and stepped inside.

--Security Department of the Artificial Island Management Corporation!

Aiba Asagi was huddled at the entrance of the heavy iron gate, letting out another short scream as the gate shook.

"Well, how should I put it, did I come at the wrong time?"

The man's voice that reached her ears made Aiba Asagi suddenly relax and wipe away her tears.

She leaped up from her crouching position and nestled into William's arms, her two delicate pink fists pounding against William chest like drumsticks.

"What's going on! Honestly, people were worried sick..."

"Everyone in the Public Corporation was attacked, many people were injured, and buildings collapsed everywhere."

As if venting pent-up resentment, Aiba Asagi raised her voice and spoke rapidly, like a machine gun.

The soft jade was in his arms, and the unique, virginal fragrance of a young girl wafted into his nostrils.

Nevertheless, he couldn't muster any strange thoughts, since the girl in his arms was genuinely terrified.

Even if she represents some special significance on this island, ultimately, she is nothing more than a helpless young girl.

Superior network operation skills are of little use in this kind of crisis.

Aside from waiting for help from others, she couldn't protect herself like Kishiryu Yukina and Kozuki Sayaka.

William gently patted the girl who was sobbing softly in his arms, his tone gradually softening.

"Alright, alright, I came to rescue you, don't worry, everything's alright now."

The man's words were like a soothing balm, and the girl in William's arms gradually stopped sobbing, and her pounding of her fists on William's chest also ceased.

A few seconds later, Aiba Asagi finally lifted her head from William's chest.

"I'm sorry, I lost my composure."

"No, this is a very normal reaction for a girl, don't worry about it."

William nonchalantly reached out his large hand and gently wiped away the remaining tears from the corner of Aiba Asagi's eye.

"Alright, go back and take a good shower, then get some rest!"

William gently stroked Aiba Asagi, soft golden hair and helped her open the door to his bedroom.

"Leave this guy to me!"

Aiba Asagi is actually a very strong girl, even though she had witnessed firsthand the cruelty of the two attackers.

She had already calmly and methodically handled everything that had happened before, thanks to her strong heart, before finally curling up alone at the doorway in fear.

Otherwise, given their combat strength, it would have been impossible for them to break through to the tenth level in so long.

After William arrived and vented his resentment to his lover, Aiba Asagi finally returned to her previous demeanor.

She wasn't the only one facing this crisis, and the fact that the person in front of her came to protect her immediately was enough for her.

He slipped out of William's arms, walked to the computer desk, picked up the laptop that seemed like a talisman, and hugged it to his chest.

Finally, she returned to William's side and reached out to link William arm with his.

"I want to go with you and catch that guy myself."

"With your abilities, you should be able to protect my safety!"

When Aiba Asagi said this, she gritted her teeth, clearly showing that she was extremely angry.

This is understandable; the current crisis is arguably the most serious one she has ever faced in her life.

Many of the members of the Special Zone Security Force upstairs were acquaintances of hers, and many of them had suffered varying degrees of injury or death this time.

"Good--!"

William flicked his finger lightly at Aiba Asagi's tightly furrowed brow and smiled.

The route was filled with burning flames, damaged buildings, and people wearing Island of Gen'ei security uniforms.

Their bodies were covered in blood, and their guns and ammunition were scattered haphazardly on the ground.

Some people were panting heavily, their breaths barely audible.

Some people were clutching their wounds, with blood and sweat flowing freely.

Standing with his back to the raging flames was a burly man who was over 190 centimeters tall.

The crescent axe blade in his right hand, and the robe draped over the armor- Reinforcement Talisman, were both stained crimson with blood.

That was the blood of these brave members of the Special Zone Security Force.

Beside him was the vampire who, according to rumors these past few days, controlled the white giant familiar.

She was a rather petite girl with blue hair, her skin draped in a cloak, possessing an artificially beautiful face and pale blue eyes devoid of any emotion.

"Astarte, make your move."

"Command accepted, execute -- 'Rose's Fingertips'!"

The blue-haired girl, clad in armor made by a familiar beast, solemnly declared.

Her current form is a stone monster wearing rainbow armor and standing nearly four meters tall.

The moment its enormous fingertip made contact, all seven layers of the protective barrier were destroyed.

After the barrier was destroyed, Sekkarou Kishiryu Yukina, who had just arrived here and was preparing for battle, stared in astonishment as she opened her mouth in disbelief.

"No... vampires? How could that be...? Why can an artificial life form control familiars?"

"Don't stand there, Yukina, the person in front of you is not easy to deal with."

Kozuki Sayaka frowned, gripping the greatsword-shaped "Koukarin" tightly with both hands.

"Hmm? There are still people trying to stop us. You don't seem to be members of the island's security force."

A deep male voice came from the burly man's mouth.
