General Howard's aide was naturally obedient to Jeremy's every word.
Jeremy's previous performance had completely won him over. In the eyes of General Howard's aide, only Jeremy possessed the capability to save them all.
Thus, Jeremy and General Howard's aide swiftly made their way to the very heart of the military base.
Before officially activating the Portal, Jeremy took a moment to convey several important considerations to General Howard's aide.
"Once the Portal is opened, I absolutely cannot be interrupted by anyone. Furthermore, during the maintenance of the Portal, I will be continuously expending energy. Therefore, I hope you can provide me with a steady supply of resources.
Once the Portal is activated, you must ensure that the soldiers pass through it as quickly as possible. After the majority of the soldiers have crossed, I will take responsibility for escorting the remaining troops.
You only need to follow my plan, there's no need for you to worry about anything else."
General Howard's aide diligently noted down every instruction that Jeremy had provided.
After confirming that there were no additional considerations, General Howard's aide addressed Jeremy directly.
"I have recorded all the precautions you mentioned, you may proceed to activate the Portal!"
Jeremy nodded in acknowledgment, then closed his eyes.
Upon shutting his eyes, Jeremy began to harness his talent as The King of Time and Space.
As the continuous fluctuations of time and space unfolded, a rift in the fabric of reality gradually formed at the very center of the military base.
The instant the rift materialized, all the monsters surrounding the military base seemed to sense the shift in temporal and spatial dynamics.
They began a frenzied assault on the military base with reckless abandon.
At that moment, General Howard's aide was in a state of heightened tension.
He was exceedingly worried that before the Portal could be fully constructed, the final line of defense around the military base would be breached by the monsters.
However, his concerns were somewhat unwarranted.
This was because, while Jeremy was busy constructing the Portal, he simultaneously generated a temporal barrier around the last line of defense of the military base.
Although the power contained within the temporal barrier was not overwhelmingly strong, it was sufficient to delay the movements of the surrounding monsters.
As Jeremy continued to utilize his talent as The King of Time and Space, the rift in time and space grew larger and larger.
Eventually, a Portal manifested itself at the very heart of the military base.
The moment the Portal materialized, Jeremy directly addressed General Howard's aide.
"Commence operations immediately! The pace must be swift, there can be absolutely no delays!"
Upon hearing Jeremy's command, General Howard's aide immediately began escorting the injured soldiers to the front of the Portal.
For General Howard's aide, his primary responsibility was to ensure the safe evacuation of all the soldiers within the military base.
Achieving such a goal was, in fact, quite challenging.
This was primarily because the vast majority of the soldiers within the military base had already sustained injuries.
"We must rely on our unique skills to defeat this monster! I can use a frost spell to slow its movements. You should seize the opportunity to control the shadow of the monster directly.
As long as we coordinate effectively, we have a chance of defeating this high-level creature! We cannot afford to hesitate any longer, because if we do not eliminate this monster quickly, it may attract the attention of even more creatures."
Bonnie asserted, her words carrying a sense of urgency.
There was indeed nothing wrong with Bonnie's reasoning, so Ritchie immediately agreed to her plan.
Bonnie raised her staff and unleashed the blizzard skill.
As the blizzard took effect, the temperature around the monster plummeted sharply, and snowflakes with a slowing effect began to fall from the sky.
Bonnie's attack caused the monster to become alarmed and panicked.
This creature, whose level far surpassed that of Bonnie and Ritchie, cautiously surveyed its surroundings.
Even though the monster was now in a state of panic, its high level meant that Bonnie's recent attack did not inflict significant damage.
While the monster remained vigilant, Bonnie wielded her staff once more and cast another frost spell.
Due to the continuous casting of frost spells, the monster discovered Bonnie's location.
The moment the monster identified Bonnie's position, it rushed toward her with incredible speed.
Faced with the rapid approach of the monster, Bonnie instinctively chose to flee.
Thus, the monster relentlessly pursued Bonnie, while she circled around a concealed location.
In that hidden spot, Ritchie was utilizing the Ravager's Gloves in an attempt to manipulate the monster's shadow.
Initially, Ritchie's efforts bore no fruit.
This was largely due to the significant level disparity, which made it exceedingly difficult for Ritchie's shadow manipulation abilities to affect the monster.
However, as time passed, Ritchie felt himself gradually gaining control over the monster's shadow.
The creature was entirely focused on Bonnie, which led it to overlook any changes occurring in its own shadow.
Just as the monster was about to close in on Bonnie, Ritchie finally succeeded in fully mastering the monster's shadow.
He promptly activated his shadow manipulation talent along with the active effect of the Ravager's Gloves. The monster's shadow suddenly launched an attack against its owner.
Seizing this opportunity, Bonnie retaliated with her staff.
Ultimately, through the close cooperation between Bonnie and Ritchie, the two successfully defeated the monster that was significantly higher in level than themselves.
Both individuals gained a substantial amount of experience points from this endeavor, with the lower-level Ritchie even leveling up directly by one.
After successfully eliminating the monster, Bonnie and Ritchie finally felt they could relax a little.
"It seems that this creature must have stumbled upon this place by chance. The other monsters likely have not discovered the existence of the Portal. We should make haste and return to the Portal as quickly as possible."
Bonnie said directly to Ritchie.
Ritchie nodded in agreement and then quickly followed Bonnie as they made their way back to the Portal.
