The dust cloud rose once again as all of them were raising their guards. With how strong the alien was, they doubted this would be over. That was why all of them were ready for another round.
As they expected, the alien once again emerged from within the dust cloud, this time not having blades underneath her feet. No. It could be said that her blade had been reduced to only one.
Still, the most shocking thing was that the symbiote started occupying her head. The right side of her face had been covered by the symbiote as she ran toward Selena.
Risa summoned blood bats and surrounded the alien, but the latter actually moved forward as though it meant nothing. All the blood bats suddenly got pierced by smaller pieces of blades that appeared from all over her body.
"!!!" Selena widened her eyes in shock. That was the shattered blades inside her body. It turned out the alien was still able to use it.
The alien remained strong, so Selena used the last bit of her Ena to the Avatar. It was only enough to form the ribs, not the full skeletal frame. She had to reserve a portion of the Ena to turn her robe into a shield, knowing that it would be her last piece of defense.
The alien struck Selena's avatar, which was blocked by the ribs. The attack wasn't that powerful anymore, but it was still enough to crack the weakened ribs.
Yin Zhen kicked the alien from the right.
The alien once again summoned all those shattered blades and let Yin Zhen kick her.
"!!!" Yin Zhen widened his eyes in shock. He blew the alien away, but he felt an excruciating pain coming from his leg. When he looked down, there were multiple shards planted on his leg. "What? Be careful. It can actually shoot out those blade's shards.
No. Is the alien evolving even further?"
That was right. They had miscalculated something. When they fought on the front line, the aliens were actually getting accustomed to their new body pretty quickly. So it wouldn't be weird if the aliens evolved even further as long as there was enough time.
No. It might be because of them fighting against her that the alien gained enough 'information' to proceed with its evolution. It was them that made the alien even stronger. If this fight continued, it would become unstoppable.
"!!!" Yin Zhen was able to land smoothly, but the moment he raised his head, he saw the alien approaching Selena.
That was right. The alien's actual target was Selena. She had realized Selena didn't have a lot of Ena to protect herself left.
Both Yin Zhen and Risa hurriedly recovered and chased after her, but it was too late.
"Tsk!" Selena clicked her tongue, knowing that it would be impossible to stop the alien's attack completely, especially with her current avatar.
It seemed she had to take this head-on. At the very least, she wanted to avoid all the fatal attacks.
The alien faced her head-on and struck her avatar, shattering the upper ribs that protected her.
Selena grabbed her robe and put it in front of herself, turning it into a shield.
The clicking sound from the collision echoed inside the cave as the alien soon overwhelmed her physically, considering she didn't have much Ena left to boost her physical strength.
The alien knocked the shield away and slashed her one more time. Selena used her staff to stop it, but the alien started overwhelming her as her blade came closer and closer to her head.
Fortunately, her avatar still protected her body, so the aliens couldn't shoot her shard. But if this continued, the blade would split her first before Risa and Yin Zhen could reach her.
All of a sudden, a wind gathered in front of her and exploded, blowing both of them away. However, someone caught Selena from behind.
"!!!" Selena widened her eyes and turned her head around, finally finding the person she had been waiting for this whole time. Despite his pale face, his body burning up, or his weak grip, Selena could see the blazing anger on his face. "Nathan!"
"Sorry for making you wait. Let me handle the rest."
