Perspective: Aliyah

Location: Liche Sea City

It's unbelievable that we worked so hard to set up a good situation for those traitors, only to have it all destroyed by Fir and his gang in an instant. Couldn't they have waited a bit longer? We might have had the satisfaction of watching the Aquatic Tribe take care of these traitors.

...

But come to think of it, maybe it's not a bad thing. If the Aquatic Tribe takes them out, we might miss out on the experience.

Well, let's just see how it goes.

Jumping with Oyado from the top of the building towards the ice pillars, we could already see the intense battle between the two sides from a distance.

By "intense," I mean the enemies on the other side. For Fir and his humanoid meat grinders, it's no challenge if the enemies are not at least 20 or 30 levels higher.

Of course, if they are above level 30, we won't fight; we'll run first. If we can't run, maybe we can try teaming up to see if that works.

But clearly, it's the Aquatic Tribe teaming up against us now, and the sheer number is unimaginable. Looking around, it seems like each of Fir's group is dealing with three opponents at once. While there's not much pressure, it's still annoying.

Moreover, enemies keep pouring out from what seems to be a military camp in the distance, it's like they are never-ending.

"Are they planning to turn all the Aquatic Tribe here into canned fish? What's the point of this endless fighting?" I said to Oyado.

"I think it's time to strategically retreat, big brother," Oyado nodded.

"This isn't benefiting us in any way."

"Well..."

True, it's not benefiting you, but Fir and his gang seem to be having a blast. They probably see it as an opportunity to gain loads of experience, right?

"Let's try contacting them first..."

Just as I was about to put on my communication earpiece, suddenly, an attack warning from behind! Before I could turn around, I heard the sound of metal clashing behind me.

Turning, I saw Oyado holding a sword belonging to a crab-like creature, with the sword seemingly growing out of his hand.

Could it be that this guy can change the shape of his pincers now?

And his level is surprisingly high, at 87, compared to my 65 and Oyado's 45, it's quite daunting.

"Wolf transformation!"

The power surged through my body in an instant, making me feel weightless. Using the wall behind me as a springboard, I lunged towards the enemy at high speed.

The enemy also noticed my move, extending the claw on its other hand, which grew larger and turned into a shield.

Even with the wolf transformation activated, my dual swords only left a slight crack on the shield when I struck it. What kind of hardness is this? I remember being able to cut through even great swords easily before, what is this guy made of?

"Oh?"

The surprise on the enemy's face was evident.

"In all my years, it's the first time someone has managed to hurt me. And an Aquatic Tribe that can grow wolf ears, that's a first for me. What kind of Aquatic Tribe are you? Are you similar to a batfish?"

"What is that?"

"Hmph, doesn't matter!"

With a snort, the opponent exerted force with both hands, and surprisingly lifted both of us into the air!

Then the shield in the opponent's other hand turned into a sword, and with a burst of speed, they charged towards us.

However...

It wasn't a problem for us, considering we both excelled in speed, right?

Just as the opponent's sword was swung, we had already retreated 5 meters away.

"This isn't good, the opponent is stronger than us, and using dual swords, their speed won't be slow either. In this case, we have no advantage at all."

"Indeed, we can't just kite like big brother does."

"Well..."

I glanced at the icicles rising in the distance and suddenly came up with a plan.

"Then let's go ask Fir for help!"

"Ah, that's right, with big brother being so strong, it should be no problem."

With that said, the two of us accelerated towards the direction of the ice pillars.

"Huh?"

The Aquatic Tribe was taken aback and immediately came to their senses.

"Hey, hey, hey! Stop right there!"

Seeing us running away, the Aquatic Tribe behind them hurriedly thought we were being chased and followed suit.

Perspective: Fir

"Big brother! Help us defeat that guy!"

I had just kicked a crab person away when I heard Oyado's voice coming from afar.

Huh? Weren't they supposed to be gathering information? How come...

And following behind them was actually an Aquatic Tribe?

"You guys are really..."

I chuckled, waved my hand, and dashed towards him with an acceleration from the ice pillar at my feet.

"Great ultimate·Tear·Judgment Cross!"

The red cross collided with the dual sword in the crab person's hand, and the red cross was directly knocked into the air and disappeared!

However, the crab person was also knocked away, knocked up a long way before landing on the roof.

This guy is really tough, he truly deserves to be called an arthropod, right?

Moreover, the cracks on his shell slowly healed, and in a moment, it was as good as new!

How do you fight against this? Self-recovery?

I looked on with a headache, this guy is too strong, right? He can even heal himself?

Just as I was astonished, he was charging at me again, the dual sword in his hand menacingly, like a super tank.

Well~

Then go crash into the rocks!

Ice Fall!

I jumped into the air, waved my hand, and a huge block of ice gathered, then a huge ice pillar rose and the ice block flew straight towards the crab person!

Then I accelerated to the side, waved my hand, ninety-nine projectiles gathered simultaneously, taking aim at the enemy.

"Fire at will!"
