Protagonist?Antagonist? I Reject Both

Chapter 368: 368



BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!

A large downpour of discharges of highly condensed energy shot one after another.

The impact was dramatic. The lasers melted large sections of ice, sending out a cascade of steam and a series of loud blasts.

The frozen surface of the monster erupted, pieces of ice flying through the air as the intense heat caused the beast to writhe in agony.

As the steam began to clear, the soldiers kept up their relentless assault. The beams cut through the remaining ice with sharp zaps, breaking the monster into smaller, manageable fragments.

The once-imposing creature lay in shattered pieces, giving the soldiers a crucial advantage in the fierce, chaotic battle.

The shattered pieces fell and struck down further breaking down into several pieces.

The ground beneath the battlefield began to tremble violently as another earthquake struck. The soldiers, who had been firing their laser guns through the railing, were suddenly thrown off balance. They stumbled, their footing giving way as the shaking intensified.

"Fuck!"

"Damn!Not again!"

Large mournful cries reverberated in the vicinity once again.

Gwen's expression became pale as she was almost pushed out. The feeling of fear erupted in her heart making her body freeze but it only lasted only for a moment as she knew she wasn't going to die.

Not in her mother's watch

At this time...

Before they could fall further, dark, sinister shadows surged up from the cracks in the ground. The shadows moved with unnatural speed, grabbing the soldiers in mid-air. As they struggled, ice whips materialized from the darkness, coiling around their bodies with a chilling grip.

The ice whips tightened, pulling the soldiers downward. The sharp, icy tendrils bound them tightly, their movements restricted as they were dragged up.

"This earthquake is getting on my nerves now," Irina scowled with an angry expression.

Hearing this, Mac chuckled, "First time, huh!"

"Shut up!"Irina sent him a glare.

With her and shadow soldiers watching, the chaos calmed.

By that time, the monsters were already done with the corpses and ready to get their way on the walls.

The same scene repeated again as everyone began to engage in the battle.

The ghost soldier of Leon just assisted while making sure to keep everyone safe. As for the reason for not involving in battle fully was because with the absence of Leon, once they die they will be transported back to Leon and can't emerge here and if this goes on, they will keep on decreasing until nothing remains and things will become difficult here so unless there was a big crisis they stayed back to assist.

Gwen fought at the frontline. Though it was her first time here, she already felt used to this. She darted across the battlefield.

Her feet pounded against the ground with each step.

As slimy monsters lunged and arachnid spiders scuttled toward her, Gwen leaped into the air and used her laser sword to slice downwards in a graceful arc. The sword severed black worms in mid-flight, making their bodies disintegrate with a sizzling hiss. She landed with a nimble roll, quickly regaining her footing.

With her left hand, Gwen fired her laser gun, each shot creating a soft, explosive blast that sent nearby creatures reeling. The blasts pushed back the advancing foes, creating brief pockets of space for her to maneuver.

She ducked under a spider's attack, rolling to the side before springing back up to deliver a swift slash with her sword. Her movements were precise and swift, each step calculated to avoid incoming strikes and strike down her enemies.

The battlefield echoed with the sounds of her laser sword slicing through monsters, the sharp cracks of her gunfire, and the frantic scuttling of spiders. Gwen's expert footwork and relentless assault kept her opponents off balance and cleared a path through the chaos.

While fighting many thoughts started to run wildly in her mind.

"Are these the types of monsters we always fight? It feels like they are specialized for this terrain. Like most monsters, they should be four-footed and can't climb the walls but this?"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

In fact, many also had similar thoughts as of her but none of them could find the truth about this so all they could do was shake those messy thoughts and keep on fighting.

As the monsters began crowding onto the walls, the situation grew increasingly dire. Their numbers overwhelmed the soldiers, making it harder to hold their ground. Amid the chaos, a piercing cry echoed through the air, cutting through the noise of battle.

SWISH!

A huge orange hue dyed the surroundings.

Everyone looked up in unison, spotting a magnificent sight, a colossal flame Phoenix soaring high above the battlefield. Its fiery plumage glowed with intense brilliance as it circled above

the walls.

With a thunderous blast, the Phoenix landed on the wall, sending a shockwave through the battlefield. It opened its beak wide and unleashed a devastating beam of flames. The intense fire roared forth, sweeping across the walls and vaporizing everything in its path.

The monsters and debris were incinerated in the searing blaze. The wall glowed with a fierce light as the Phoenix's flames washed over it, turning the tide of the battle with a single, fiery attack. The soldiers watched in awe as the Phoenix's assault brought a temporary reprieve to the relentless onslaught.

At first, everyone stared in confusion, unsure whether the flame Phoenix was a new threat or an ally. The battle paused momentarily as the soldiers watched in awe.

As the flames from the Phoenix began to subside, a figure emerged from the blaze. A woman draped in fire walked out gracefully, her flame-like hair gradually fading to reveal striking

crimson locks.

Gwen's eyes widened as she recognized the familiar figure. Her face lit up with joy.

She leapt with a triumphant shout, rushing forward to embrace the woman who had just turned the tide of battle.

Cause it wasn't an enemy rather someone she was quite familiar with.

No, in fact it won't be wrong to say they were going to be their family.
