Chapter 128: I'm Scared

The spectators scattered to the sides, trying to escape the Triple-horned Buffalo. Sure, they were in the second and third rings, but they were mere humans, and even a White Threat Level monster was a deadly threat!

However... For K1-Phantom, an opponent of such strength was no more dangerous than a kitten.

Although, no, that was an incorrect comparison. A kitten could scratch a human, especially if its claws hit the eyes, but... The Triple-horned Buffalo was nothing compared to Adam.

Adam didn't even have to strain to hold a monster that weighed several hundred kilograms. In fact, the Triple-horned Buffalo could have made Adam tense up, at least take a step back if the monster had continued to try to ram Adam.

But, Adam's genes, on an instinctive level, suppressed the Triple-horned Buffalo, showing that it had no chance of winning. Gradually, Adam loosened his grip, not afraid that Triple-horned Buffalo would decide to attack.

Triple-horned Buffalo looked away only to meet the gazes of Alexia and Zera, who as well as Adam, could easily handle that problem.

Bam.

Before Triple-horned Buffalo came to its senses, the man with the shield slammed into the monster, drawing attention to himself.

"Hey! We're your opponents!" The man said confidently, ready to fight.

After all, Triple-horned Buffalo had not planned to attack Adam and the other Phantoms, it was a consequence of Layla dodging the monster's ram.

Turning to the man Triple-horned Buffalo was relieved. When Adam, Alexia, and Zera were in front of it, Triple-horned Buffalo felt like it was nothing, worse than an ant, their aura overwhelming, destroying it from the inside out.

However... now in front of it was a man with practically no aura - the simplest person any monster could handle!

Bam.

Layla's fist plunged into the Triple-horned Buffalo's jaw, from bottom to top, causing the monster to lose consciousness for a moment.

She continued to attack in one spot to give her ally a chance to deliver a critical attack!

"I'm here!" The swordsman exclaimed before thrusting his sword into the Triple-horned Buffalo's throat.

This was possible because Layla's hail of blows tore the monster's hide, lowering its defense and revealing its weaknesses.

Splash.

Adam nodded deeply as he looked intently at Layla.

He was one of the first of the Phantoms to see an exoskeleton in action. However, besides the exoskeleton and the FN, back then, Layla had something else. Amplifier - a capsule, with a special liquid and a long needle to inject into the body.

'Hmm... They weren't given Amplifier this time, with it, they can become even stronger. However, if it imitates Phantom's Resonance, it should put great pressure on their bodies. It's dangerous.'

Soon, several Phantoms carried the Triple-horned Buffalo away, and the military departed.

Zera, Kody, Katrin, and Alexia discussed what had happened, each having their own ideas and suggestions. They were curious to see what else the development department could create in the future!

At this time, Adam stepped aside, keeping an eye on Layla, who had gone far outside the arena and sat by the wall with a detached look. Fragments of the battle seemed to flash before her eyes.

A shadow fell over Layla as she tiredly raised her head.

"Hey." Adam waved his hand with a calm look.

Layla's eyes went wide. She hadn't expected to meet him here. They'd only seen Adam once, but it was enough to memorize each other.

"You fought well. Looks like this exoskeleton is a little better than the one you used against me earlier."

Layla glanced at Trici, who was sitting on Adam's head and looking at Layla with sparkling eyes.

Trici pointed at Layla and said:

"You're awesome! That bull was so big! But you were able to win! Although, my brother is still stronger!!!" Trici exclaimed vigorously.

Layla smiled, but... soon the smile distorted, slowly disappearing from her face.

Then, her eyes got wet, and tears flowed from them, with such force that Layla couldn't stop them, though she tried to do so.

"Brother... Did I do something wrong...?" Trici worriedly asked. She decided that she was guilty of this.

Adam shook his head, "I doubt it..."

"I... I was so scared!" Layla exclaimed, staring at Adam like an innocent child who met the cruel side of life for the first time.
