Chapter 97: Another Attack (Bonus)
The peace inside the forest was suddenly destroyed as not only the aliens, but the soldiers were also panicking.
"!!!" Alavenya was taken aback. "Isn\'t the detection of that alien only 50 meters (164 feet)?"
"There\'s no time for that. We have to help the soldiers get into their position before the aliens swarm us from all directions!"
"That\'s right."
"Go! Tristan, Levia. You two follow me to distract the mature class alien for one minute!"
"Yes!"
They immediately split up to assist the soldiers. Mando couldn\'t help but turn around, worried that the kids weren\'t able to react in time, but surprisingly, only the people from the Retishia Academy remained.
This was just a test from Alavenya for them. If they couldn\'t even know what they were supposed to do, she could use it as an excuse not to meet with them.
That was why seeing only the people from the Retishia Academy still in their position made Mando angry. He shouted, "What are you doing? Go to your position!"
"Let\'s go" The platoon leaders all waved their hands, hurrying the soldiers. Because of the situation, their formation broke and the difficult terrains made a lot of soldiers trip.
In addition, they could hear the noises coming toward them.
"Kh! We are not in our position yet!" One of the platoon leaders gritted his teeth as he saw a few shadows coming toward them. If these few aliens attacked them, there would be many people dying.
As if they were able to predict it, both Selena and Nathan had come to their way, both of them summoning their familiars. Selena wouldn\'t be shocking, but this was the first time the soldiers saw two animals on the battlefield.
Nathan turned around and shouted, "Hurry up and go to your position! We\'ll buy you some time!"
"!!!" The leader snapped as he immediately shouted, "Go, go, go! We have to use the time the summoners make to get into our formation!"
The leaders were busy arranging their positions, while Nathan turned to the aliens and said, "We need to position ourselves slightly more forward than planned."
Selena nodded, fully trusting Nathan\'s judgment.
"There are twelve of them, from what I can see and hear. However, there are a lot more aliens coming behind them. We have to kill those twelve fast before the rest catch up," said Fenrir while assessing the situation.
Both Nathan and Selena looked at each other as if knowing what they were thinking, "6-6?"
With a smile on their faces, they immediately charged forward.
The soldiers couldn\'t help but clench their swords tighter. They had never thought that these two children had to confront the enemies so boldly because of their mistake.
Their action had just made the soldiers\' resolve stronger.
On the left, Sasha went to the right while Risa went to the other side. The aliens didn\'t understand what they were planning to do, so they chased after the closer targets.
Little did they know, Selena was there waiting for them. She waved her staff, releasing a burst of Ena that swept the aliens from left to right.
The three aliens that chased after Risa got knocked back, but they still managed to regain their stability.
Sasha immediately kicked one of them toward the aliens facing Risa, resulting in a collision between them.
Now that they fell, Risa summoned her tornado, shredding two aliens apart. The other two aliens blocked it with their bodies since most of the energy had been depleted. They stood back up and attacked Risa, only to find another blast from Selena, knocking them to the trees.
On the other hand, the other two aliens punched and scratched Sasha\'s arms. Fortunately, her talon-like hands made the arm much sturdier.
After blocking them, Sasha stabbed the alien\'s neck with her long talons as the contact area started to decay. She then threw this alien at the other one, which caused both of them to crash into each other.
Sasha didn\'t have to kill them because the burst attack from Selena came right after, crushing them to the ground. She shot the explosive sphere toward their heads and destroyed it.
On the other hand, Nathan\'s battle was actually much briefer than Selena\'s.
Fenrir and Anubis simply charged forward, leaving Nathan behind.
Fenrir pounced at the first alien. When he was about to bite its neck, the other two aliens attacked him.
Due to the increase in Nathan\'s Ena and control over the last few days, he could form ten bullets, two and a half times of his original limit.
He shot all of them into a single alien, causing the alien to have no choice but to block it. Knowing Nathan was there to help, Fenrir focused on the other alien and stopped it with a wave of his tail.
Now that no one could stop him anymore, Fenrir bit the alien\'s neck before releasing the crescent-shaped attack from his tail, cutting the second alien.
Nathan came to Fenrir\'s aid and struck the third alien with his Deadly Claw. Meanwhile, Anubis simply restrained two aliens with his bandage as he bit the last one.
But because he was alone, Fenrir and Nathan actually came to him before he finished the first one.
Fenrir broke the alien\'s neck with a slap and bit its neck off while Nathan used his Deadly Claw again.
Still, their situation hadn\'t been over yet.
There were still over 30 aliens coming toward them.
Nathan hurriedly turned to Selena, who was about to finish her battle. "Selena. Let\'s regroup with the soldiers. We have to fight together to conserve our stamina."
In Nathan\'s mind, he could use this chance to not only kill the aliens in front of them but also on the other side. With such an achievement, they had a higher chance of persuading Alavenya.
The only problem was the group from the Retishia Academy.
Nathan searched for that group, who seemed to be rushing toward them as if they didn\'t want to lose.
And it was at this moment that multiple attacks, from an arrow to a beam, rained down on this group.
Two people covered in cloaks suddenly jumped off the tree and killed two students with their swords.
"You what?! Anubis, you motherfucker! Fenrir has stopped jinxing my plan, and now you?! Don\'t you know my luck?"
