Boom!!
The sound of an explosion echoed across the air.
A figure plummeted from the sky, crashing into one of the islands. Dust and smoke erupted, engulfing the surface of the island.
In the next moment, the smoke and dust were swept away by a surge of energy.
Vashno stood, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. His bones had been shattered, but they were already healing in a matter of seconds.
"Just like I thought..." Vashno muttered, his voice low. "Fighting fifteen Fifth Shackle Realm titans is too much even for me. I couldn't even take out a single one of them."
Even with his skills, this was an arduous task. Thankfully, his goal was only to buy time—not to eliminate all fifteen titans.
Swoosh!!
A figure cloaked in a blueish aura rose behind him.
It was Alice.
"Thank you for your hard work. Now, let's finish the rest of these guys." Her voice was cold, yet brimming with confidence.
Vashno nodded, casting a brief glance at the titans Alice had already slain.
