Nathan raised his head, staring at the worm.
He had to kill this worm without the help of his familiars. He didn't even have a lot of Ena left in his body. In addition, Brunhild hadn't reached the level of a mature class alien.
The angel and the fallen angel, as well as Sera's Synchronization, might help to a certain extent, but it was hard to say whether they could take it down or not.
Despite having to find a way to defeat the worm, Nathan's mind wandered elsewhere.
'Well, I should have expected something like this the moment I decided my fourth familiar to be Tenko. Fenrir is my first familiar and his summoning is kind of forced. Sun Wukong was supposed to appear instead of Anubis. The only time everything worked in my favor was Nidhogg's summoning.
'I guess I should just keep a few options possible so that something like this doesn't happen again in the future.'
Nathan sorted his own thoughts and started glancing at Serafina.
Nathan dashed toward her while forming multiple bullets. "Sera."
Sera nodded and shared the Synchronization with him.
Nathan examined the worm. The worm seemed to be the most worm-like creature than any alien so far. It had a long, sectioned body and no tentacles on the skin. However, it had a huge circular mouth that symbolized the position of its head. The teeth were spread evenly, as though it could crush everything that would enter its mouth.
The worm had a high speed and zigzag movement like a snake. It could even bounce off the ground.
Fortunately, Brunhild had expected it and flown away.
Brunhild landed on the worm's body, poured her Ena into her spear, and thrust it into the worm.
To her surprise, the spear barely pierced through the skin. Even though she didn't use her full power, she thought it wouldn't be impossible to at least reach the alien's flesh.
The worm once again leaped into the air, forcing her to fly away. To her surprise, the worm wriggled. That unpredictable movement caused her to fly back to Sera. In addition, Nathan had caught up, so it was the sign of a counterattack.
Brunhild reported, "The skin is extremely tough. Even with my full power and Sera's Synchronization, I might barely hit his flesh."
Brunhild concentrated her Ena into the tip of her spear and dove, increasing her momentum as much as possible.
When the worm was about to reach Nathan, Brunhild suddenly dropped like a meteor.
Bam!
"!!!" The worm was shocked as the impact vibrated his entire body. The spear managed to reach his flesh as Brunhild hurriedly tried to expand the wound with her spear.
The skin was much tougher than the flesh, but once it was cut, it became easier for the rest to be sliced.
And that was when the bullets for Lavi and Dane arrived.
Lavi, the fallen angel, rose into the sky and raised her hand. Dark mist started to gather above her palm as it gradually formed a spear.
"Darkness Spear." She threw it down with all her strength, aiming for the open wound.
Dane, the angel, clapped his hand as a cross made of light appeared on top of him. He also let it drop to the open wound.
"Holy Drop!"
The two attacks hit the worm where it hurt.
Even if they were weaker than Brunhild, it didn't mean they couldn't make an impact.
The worm writhed violently as it was trying to push Brunhild and the others away. It turned out the bullets were nothing but a distraction.
The worm had realized that following Nathan's bullets was more important, especially the ones that guided Brunhild and the others.
And this was when Nathan actually smiled.
"It seems it has realized my intention, but it doesn't matter. After all, this is where the fun begins." Nathan spread his arms, summoning more bullets. "I never play music, but I have imagined myself becoming a maestro on the battlefield when reading novels."
