Bullets rained heavily on the roof, and Drax could tell that some were already ricocheting over to his side, while the robbers were already moving sideways, which would soon give them an unobstructed line of sight to shoot at him directly.Pressing the comm unit in his left ear, Drax said, “Hey Tess, how long are you going to sit there watching me get chipped away from every angle?”“Oh, stop being such a crybaby. They haven’t even reached your position yet,” Tess replied over the comm, and a split second later, a deafening boom echoed through the air.Even lying flat on the roof, Drax felt the ground beneath tremble all the way to the house straight to the roof where he was hiding. A smirk cracked across his face as he realized Tess had finally decided to join the fray.The robbers who were closing in on his building were caught completely off guard when an ambush struck them from the right.They had assumed the sniper on the left was their only threat. Instead, Tess angled her Nad

Lifting his gaze, Zack found himself overcome with disbelief as he realized the precision shot had originated from Jake, who was flanked by his team members,Zack’s astonishment stemmed from the firm conviction that he believed Jake ought to be within the academy walls, honing his skills for the approaching Interacademy games, rather than venturing into the F region, when the territory was currently on the brink of being overwhelmed by demonic beasts from every direction,Zack harbored such sentiments because he held a deep expectation that Jake would deliver a stunning performance at the competition games, despite being fully aware that the top brass of the academy dismissed him as a mere curiosity story they wanted to display, because his sole merit was the improbable tale of ascending to the uncommon rank with four affinities when he had none before and was just a Common rank talent at his awakening.Yet, Zack remained a steadfast believer in the Jake’s potential, almost wishing hi

None of the F region captains had anticipated such a sudden assault from the Lord-rank Shadow Wolf demonic beast, based on past experience, they had all assumed it was still engrossed in solidifying its realm and gathering additional subordinates to its pack to have their time.So they had counted on that extra window of time to seek out allies who they believed could support them during this crisis even before it arrived. Because a Lord-rank threat was a completely different ball game, one that the lower sectors of the Phoenix City as a whole could hardly afford to ignore. Yet,the higher-ups and the other lower sectors made it glaringly obvious that they cared little for the fate of the F region; to make matters worse, the Bureau remained completely silent regarding their plight. This indifferent attitude had been pushing the captains to their absolute limits for a long time, they were literally on the verge of snapping, even though they knew the Bureau's envoys were figures they

Relying on the light shield's remaining power to hold out while soldiers set explosives along the city wall meant that, once destroyed, their energy barrier defense would be gone for good. Although they had long known the shield generator was nearing the end of its lifespan, they maintained the stance that its continued presence was essential, as it offered the residents of the F Region a vital sense of security and protection.Without the shield, few would risk residing near the city's lower sectors, where demonic beasts could breach the perimeter unhindered before military forces could intervene and fight them off. Even with its energy reserves critically low, the shield served as a beacon of hope, which had led them to preserve it while awaiting replacement plans from the bureau all this while.Jake’s plan was far from easy to accept to the other captains, sacrificing the energy shield was one thing, but destroying the city wall was another thing entirely to them, it was an essen

This made him laugh inwardly with joy, believing that danger was truly the only thing people connected with, although he had been breaking news and reporting events for a while, however, only scandals ever brought him significant attention.Yet none of his previous broadcasts had ever reached a million views, and despite reaching that milestone it didn’t stop there as the count kept climbing.While many viewers watching the waves of shadow wolves charging directly into the city had feared for the troops stationed there, listening to the journalist's commentary caused them to turn on the soldiers, cursing them for failing the F region civilians.He pointed out that the soldiers weren't even firing at the approaching wolves, claiming they were acting as if they had surrendered and calling them a disgrace to the Human Alliance Army Group. To him, surrendering in the face of a beast was an even greater humiliation for the great soldiers that helped build the safe cities for humans of the
