Hardy glanced at Philip meaningfully before he chose a mecha and charged forth.
“Claire, wish me luck,” Although his hands were shaking, Carter smiled at Claire and rushed forward.
Philip stepped forward slowly and picked up a sword.
Fire sprang from his hands and wrapped around the sword.
His eyes became serious, and he said, “This is enough to turn you into scrap metal.”
For a while, all the top experts from various forces sprang into action. If this offensive failed again, the entire troop would be wiped out. Although there was help on hand, Philip wanted to fight a mecha single-handedly.
Most of the people were five or six stars with a few seven stars in between. Even if not everyone was proficient with a sword, they could fight this mecha just by the speed and strength of swinging a sword.
Although the presence of other people around slightly affected Philip’s performance, his every strike accurately hit the joints of the mecha.
Gradually, the four mechas seemed to be weakening, and everyone gained a boost of confidence. They attacked more intensely.
Suddenly, the mechas jumped out of their attack range. They retreated to the corners and raised the swords in their hands without the slightest deviation in their movements.
The light on the swords suddenly became brighter. A person closest to them noticed that the black light had the potential to devour all light.
He shouted, “Close your eyes!”
Although his shout came in a timely manner, many people did not close their eyes in time. They lost their eyesight temporarily, and their vision went black.
At this time, the mechas moved again, looking for those affected by the black light.
At this time, everyone who was temporarily blinded by the black light finally recovered, including Claire and the others.
Philip finally noticed that Carter had been pierced by a sharp sword. He knelt on the ground clutching his wound with blood gurgling from his mouth.
Philip quickly walked up to Carter and put him down to stop the bleeding, but Carter grabbed Philip tightly.
Philip realized that Carter was staring at Claire who was still rubbing her eyes.
“Lie down! You won’t die yet,” Philip said in exasperation.
Claire finally looked this way and shouted, “No!”
