Hera fell to the ground, her vision fading to ck for a moment before she was quickly jolted awake by


    an intense pain. Her whole body hurt, especially her stomach. She also felt something warm trickling


    down her legs.


    Realization struck, and she cried out in a frenzy while clutching her abdomen. “My child, my child…”


    B-6 rose from the ground, ready to strike Hera again. However, Jasmine shot forward at lightning


    speed, intercepting B-6’s punch in mid-air.


    Blood burst forth from her lips as the veins in her eyes turned bloodshot. Then, she was sent flying


    backward. She crashed into therge tree behind Hera.


    Disheveled, Hera crawled toward Jasmine as she cried out her


    Jasmine coughed up several mouthfuls of blood but still climbed her feet. She lifted her dim eyes to


    look at B-6.


    Hera shook her head, crying bitterly, “Jasmine, you’ve got to run!” The man was simply not someone


    they could deal with. Sending more people forward would only lead them to their deaths.


    Jasmine gently shook her head. “Protecting you is my mission. Even if the mission fails and you die, I’ll


    be right behind you.”


    B-6 clenched his fists and struck Jasmine.


    The vast energy hit Jasmine like a supersonic fighter jet. Her entire body arched backward as she flew


    backward. It took a dozen trees snapping against her back before she finally came to a stop on the


    ground, coughing up blood heavily. Her pupils were dted, and she was slowly slipping into


    unconsciousness.


    “You’re an ant trying to stop a giant. You overestimate your abilities,” B-6 said indifferently. With that, he


    raised his foot as high as his head and brought it down forcefully toward Hera.


    Suddenly, there was a surge of energy that split the entire forest in two. B-6 ced two fingers to his


    ear. “Mission aplished,” he informed but then immediately froze.


    He expected to see Hera’s body split in half before him. However, there was nothing.


    [Warning, warning, danger, danger!


    [Warning, warning, danger, danger!


    [Warning, warning, danger, danger!]


    “Damn it…” B-6 nced around him, his gaze quickly locking ont man on the road. He was wearing a


    white shirt, and his expressio was bone-chilling.


    Standing beside him was a beautiful woman who was cradling his target in her arms.


    “Nash… our child… Is our child alright?” Hera asked tearfully.


    Nash crouched down and used his Third Eye to scan Hera’s abdomen. The centa had shifted


    slightly, but the fetus inside was unaffected. “The child is fine,” Nash reassured, his hand gently


    caressing Hera’s face.


    Melody hugged Hera tightly, her eyes red as she said to Nash, “Go, I’ll take care of Hera!”


    Nash took a deep breath. Gripping his sword, he transformed into a blur and shed the de at B-6.


    Multiple sword shadows descended upon B-6, and his skin turned from bronze to silver.


    The sword shadows left deep cuts on his body, but they were healing at a speed visible to the naked


    eye.


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    Nash’s eyes narrowed. Was the man an esper? No wonder Cillian had nearly died at his hands. Even


    Nash could barely break through B-6’s defense.


    A hint of fear gripped B-6 as his body was covered in numerous sword wounds. He had imnted a


    type of mimicry metal refined from meteorites, known for its unparalleled toughness, into his body.


    Even bullets struggled to leave a mark on him, yet now he was being wounded by sword forms. No


    wonder the chip had warned him danger.
