Bam!
The ground turned into a massive crater, with the mutant getting crushed like a mosquito.
Fenrir had already grabbed Nathan and moved away to avoid her attack. Still, Selena didn't hold back at all. If not for her powerful attack, they couldn't really finish this fast.
"It's dead." Fenrir confird it as he sensed no more life from the mutant.
"Scree!"
The aliens were actually going berserk after the mutant's death, trying to drag Nathan and the others along with them.
"Well, the only enemies left are those mature class aliens along with a thousand aliens… looks like there are only several hundred left…" Nathan looked around. "Let's—!"
Nathan abruptly stopped when Selena returned to his side, glaring at him. While crossing her arms, she stated in a tone that left him no choice but to accept. "You're done today. If I see you fighting one more alien, you won't be able to get up from bed for at least a week."
"Isn't that a reward for…" Nathan closed his mouth when Selena's gaze beca even more intense, as if she was asking him, 'Are you going to make even angrier?' Nathan gulped down and nodded furiously. "Yes, Ma'am."
"Look at you and how reckless you are. You couldn't even use your new technique after Risa drank your blood," Selena grunted after looking at his dry lips and pale face.
Nathan scratched the back of his head. Fortunately, there was still sothing they needed to do, so Selena just left it at that.
She glanced at Fenrir and said, "Protect him and make sure he doesn't do anything. Understood?"
"!!!" Fenrir felt chills down his spine. Selena was truly angry this ti. In fact, he could feel her gaze similar to that of his sister. He couldn't help but instinctively reply to her. "Yes, Ma'am."
Nathan widened his eyes in shock, not expecting Fenrir to respond politely. 'Is he actually scared of Selena?'
Selena harrumphed before leaping into the air to help Risa and Jinwu.
Fenrir couldn't help but pat Nathan's shoulder, saying, "Brat. Did the legend tell you how scary my sister was?"
"Not really."
"I guess you will learn it soon enough." Fenrir sighed. "I will fight back if anyone wants to put a leash on , but I will gladly put it on myself if she is the one asking . That's how scary she is. And your girl over there… I thought you have fixed her, but it seems you only get rid of her unwillingness to accept anyone else, and end up bringing that hidden nature of her."

"Is she that bad?" Nathan gulped down.
Fenrir just sighed again, not wanting to say another thing.
"Well, I deserve it. I have truly pushed myself a bit too far this ti. I'm hungry and thirsty…" Nathan sighed and lay down on the ground. "I want to eat at."
With Selena joining the battle, the aliens couldn't gain any more advantages. She and her avatar struck the aliens, killing more than a hundred aliens in just two minutes.
Risa, who had just beco a royal vampire, also utilized her new abilities and killed a lot more aliens to the point where she actually surpassed Jinwu in this battle.
It would take so ti, but they should finish the battle sooner or later.
…
anwhile, on Sera and Noelle's side, the situation had actually turned into sothing unexpected.
After a whole day, they finally cleared up the entire tunnel. It was quite surprising to have a tunnel this long.
"This is insane. It will take too long to get all those tunnels…" Sera panted a few tis. "Besides, this place is small, so we can't advance easily."
"There are a few branches as well. I'm afraid that this tunnel is connected to other tunnels." Noelle frowned. "It's going to be impossible to clear everything because there will be so aliens to remain."
"Yeah. We can kill as many aliens as we can. This should be enough to destroy this nest. After that, we should probably bury the entrance so that other aliens won't use it anymore before reporting everything to the marquis."
"Sounds good enough." Noelle agreed.
To their surprise, Asmodeus suddenly opened his mouth. "Wait a minute, ladies. Can both of you stop talking for a mont?"
"!!!" Noelle frowned while Sera turned to Asmodeus. "What do you an?"
Asmodeus just raised his finger, as if telling her to shut up. He then moved closer to the end of the tunnel before putting his ear on the wall.
Noelle and Sera were confused and tried to imitate him, wondering what he actually found. Unfortunately, they couldn't find anything.
Asmodeus, with his sharper ears, noticed the vibration on the ground. He knocked on the wall a few tis as his mouth mumbled a few things.
"This might not be good…" Asmodeus frowned.
"What are you talking about?" Sera asked. "Explain it in a way I can understand."
Asmodeus pointed at the wall. "There's sothing hollow not far from here. To put it roughly, there is another hole about 30 ters (98 feet) from here."
"Another tunnel? Maybe one that is not yet connected to this one?" Noelle crossed her arms, pondering.
"That's what I want to believe as well, but looking at the size of this nest… I'm afraid this is not a nest at all." Asmodeus pinched the bridge of his nose.
"Not a nest?"
"Yes. Even if it's a nest like an ant nest, you will find so caves where they store their eggs. On the other hand, this nest contains only tunnels. They're connected, but most of it is basically just a straight tunnel, right?"
"Yeah." Sera nodded.
"This tunnel might not be a nest, but a tunnel… literally. The distance is quite long and if you still have another tunnel on the other side that is gradually being dug, what kind of tunnel do you think it is?"
"Tunnel…" Noelle widened her eyes in shock. "Are you saying that this tunnel is connected to the front line? Are they digging this tunnel to bypass the frontline and pinch them from two sides to destroy it?"
"!!!" Sera widened her eyes in shock. "They're not creating just one tunnel. They make several of them so that a lot of aliens can enter."
"Flora did ntion the strongest summoner's prophecy… Was it actually because of this tunnel? Even though the frontline knew that they couldn't stop all the aliens with a single defense line, what if the aliens sent more aliens through this tunnel so that they would be attacked by more aliens than they expected?"
