All-out: Starting with the Awakening Special Operations Unit, search, attack, and withdrawal.

"Holy Maiden! There's an unusual enemy! We've suffered heavy losses—!"

The heart-wrenching screams pierced through the air filled with rampant source energy and reached the ears of Yasumoto Masami, who was battling the boss, "Other Shore Academy Founder - Other Shore Rebirth," on the roof of the L-shaped teaching building.

She held a longsword with a distinctly Xia Dynasty style, the end of which was tied with a red ribbon.

As if possessing its own spirit, every time the boss [Other Shore Rebirth] instantly appears next to Yasami Anben using the special bullets from that revolver, it immediately unleashes a super-powerful wave of energy.

The boss was instantly stunned and frozen in place.

At these moments, the team members around the boss would immediately unleash a barrage of fire.

"Bang--!"

The sudden sound distracted Yasumoto Masami, and then another loud gunshot rang in her ears.

"Yube! Akiko, hurry and save them!"

Yasumoto Masami's pretty face tightened. In an attempt to save her, a teammate was instantly ripped open by an AWM. Although as long as she died within 30 seconds, the team's healer could revive her.

But... an unusual enemy?

As Yasumoto Masami wielded her longsword, her already limited energy reserves were further depleted.

The initial skill [Sword Dance Domain] was unleashed, covering the entire area of ​​the [Abandoned Elementary School Research Area]. However, one could sense the heavy casualties suffered by the various squads.

Masami Yasumoto felt a sudden jolt in her heart.

His face immediately turned gloomy and ashen.

"Doushita? Taikiwadokoda?! (What's going on? Where are the enemies?!)"

"Having already entered hell, how foolish to even think of looking back for a way out...?"

The Boss's sinister voice, "Founder of the Other Shore Academy, Other Shore Rebirth," echoed.

next second.

"Whoosh—!"

The depletion of energy slowed down the reaction speed of the longsword, Red Ribbon, in Yasumoto Masami's hand.

However, it was precisely this momentary mistake that led to this.

In an instant, the boss's hand, like an iron clamp, gripped her delicate neck.

"Ugh—!" Yasumoto Masami's expression changed drastically, and several teammates around her exclaimed in horror.

"Holy Maiden! (Captain Yasumoto!)"

The emerald ring on Boss's finger lit up, instantly and completely restricting the movements of Yasumoto Masami, whose energy was already scarce.

They gave no chance for those around them to rescue them.

The silver revolver was pressed against Yasumoto Masami's smooth forehead, where a few strands of hair still clung.

"Bang--!"

Gunshots rang out.

however.

The bullet, however, passed through the temple.

The sudden turn of events left not only Yasumoto Masami's team members but also the boss herself with a look of astonishment.

"Damn it, you idiot almost stole my kill!"

Inside the "texture space," Chu Hong looked shaken, his gun already turned back towards the other squads.

"The hunt... has begun!"

.....

"Captain Yasumoto is seriously injured! Captain Yasumoto is seriously injured!"

"Retreat! Everyone, withdraw from the battle area immediately!"

"Sagare! Everyone, retreat from the battle line! (Retreat! Withdraw from the combat zone!)"

The small teams, which had been operating separately, became tense and immediately shrank back, fighting as they retreated towards the door.

On the rooftop.

Yasumoto Masami's team of three stayed behind to cover the rear, responsible for blocking the boss and the two clones, while the healer in the team quickly picked up the enemy and jumped downstairs.

Her figure was light and graceful, and it seemed as if flowers were blooming beneath her feet.

Chu Hong was able to perceive it clearly.

On the other person's back, Yasumoto Masami's life force was rapidly returning, and at the same time, the blood hole on her forehead was also rapidly healing.

No wonder this is the stronghold of that old bastard Anben Guiyi.

What a wealth of talent!

It's easy to imagine that a pioneer with such extraordinary healing abilities would be an outstanding figure even in the Great Xia Dynasty, at Sacred Heart University.

Chu Hong was not in a hurry to snipe the opponent.

With so many people here, even if Yasumoto Masami is rescued, she will definitely not abandon them and try to escape on her own. Besides...

There are two more surprises waiting for them at the evacuation point.

"Did you pay the toll before you left from my side?!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"Huh? Little cabinet, you abandoned your teammates and ran away? I, Chu, despise cowards like you the most! Sit down!"

"Bang bang bang—!"

"..."

Chu Hong filled the five-slot [Source Energy Space] with golden bullets.

Back when they were firing these things, every shot they fired was one less available. In fact, in order to get more gold bullets from Miss Song, he even had to exchange his own ammunition with her.

Life is getting better now.

"Hahaha! You all have to die! Oh! You're looking at me? You'll die first!"

"Bang--!"

"Crying? You'll get shot even if you cry~"

"Bang--!"

Nearly twenty minutes had passed within the secret realm.

After leaving behind a pile of corpses, the small cabinets in the [Abandoned Elementary School Research Area] finally managed to escape.

however.

Originally, including Yasumoto Masami, there were a total of thirty-five Core Condensation Realm pioneers.

Now only a pitiful seven or eight remain.

Among them, especially those veteran captains with the strongest strength, Chu Hong relentlessly shot them one by one with golden bullets, his hand pulling the trigger almost leaving afterimages.

There were seven squads, excluding Masami Yasumoto, the captain who was pulled up by her teammates.

Everyone died!

At this point, there was no way to save them.

They returned directly to their [Heart-Slaying Dojo] to wait for the item to repair its source core...

Yasumoto Masami's face was deathly pale, and her eyes were filled with confusion and horror.

They stared blankly at the direction of the abandoned elementary school research area, which had stopped pursuing them after they withdrew from the combat zone.

"Masaka...こんなことになるなんて...(How could...it turned into this...)"

Everyone looked disheveled and ashamed.

"Holy Maiden, the enemy is attacking us, and the enemy has no idea where they are attacking us."

「あらゆるmeansをtrialしましたが、それでも见つけられません．もう…どうすれば…(We tried various means but couldn’t find him!)」

Among the few survivors, one was crying in despair, his body covered in blood.

Even at this point, no one thought that the secret realm had been invaded by outsiders.

【Top Secret - Saihe Village】is the headquarters of 【Heart-Slaying Sword Path】!

Putting aside whether anyone would dare to provoke their Sword Saint, Anben Guiyi, even if someone did, how could they forcibly connect to such a secret realm?

It's important to understand that outside the barrier of this secret realm, the [Heart-Slaying Sword Path] involves several more layers of secret realms, all to maintain long-term control of the entire realm within their own domain...

Masami Yasumoto had the same thought. Suddenly, as if she had just realized something, her eyes widened in shock!

"Masaka!"

Her breath hitched, as if she had considered some possibility!

Could it be that a divine artifact of the highest rarity has appeared in this round?!
