While Theo was working hard with the Space Saint, Rea and the others were facing a hard time.
Rea actually fell to the ground while spitting out some acid from her stomach. She coughed up a few times while raising her head, glaring at the incoming monsters.
'How did this happen? These enemies…'
…
A few moments earlier.
Rea was commanding the troops to handle the elite monsters that threatened the army from the rear.
"Attack. Kill as many monsters as you can. The more we kill, the easier the battle will become!" Rea's shout was loud, but the battlefield was louder, causing only the people around her to hear it.
Still, the moment they got fired up, the feeling was transmitted to the people beside them. Eventually, they reached the edge of their formation and gained another momentum.
"Oh!"
The humans roared while killing the enemies. The destruction was massive, considering there were many Supreme Rank Monsters and even Mythical Rank Monsters that clashed with the humans of the same level.
When Theo was a Supreme Rank Expert, he could unleash a powerful blow that decimated everything in fifty feet radius. And with this clash containing more than three thousand Supreme Rank Experts and Monsters, the ground had shattered.
The remaining force also impacted the people and monsters near them, causing the battle to progress far faster than anyone could imagine.
This was completely a brawl between humans and monsters. If not for the fact they were maintaining their line, they would cause a lot of friendly fire.
Everything worked well for a while. They made progress in slowing down the enemies while the original army started pummeling the monsters down. If this continued, they should be able to kill all these monsters.
However, Rea couldn't be happy yet, considering there was one biggest threat left.
The fact that the monsters still had the trump card of hundreds of unique monsters, they could easily flip the situation around.
That was why Rea didn't fight against these monsters while she was commanding the troops. She was recovering her energy as much as possible, trying to get into her best state before fighting those unique monsters.
The monsters were far more clever than the ones she had ever met. They used these monsters to exhaust her.
Rea took a deep breath while looking around, making sure they weren't ambushed by the monsters. After all, she had seen what kind of ability the monsters had.
"How is it?" Rea grabbed her radio and asked.
"We haven't found them yet. Although we want to increase our search area, we can't do it due to the enemy's strength."
"I know. If you spread our force, the enemies might find one of them and get alerted. We want to let them think that everything is still going according to their plan.
"Got it. I'll maintain the surveillance then."
Rea nodded. She truly had a great friend to help her on this battlefield. Even though he didn't have the strength to fight these enemies, Isaac had a lot of ways to help her, including becoming a scout.
There was no way Isaac would fail to locate his opponents.
With this thought in mind, Rea continued ordering the people around, wanting to gain a complete victory.
Unfortunately, fate seemed to be changing. It first came with Richard's warning.
"Not good. I've spotted a few sig—" Isaac wanted to say something, but his voice suddenly got disrupted by an explosion.
"Isaac? Isaac?"
Rea panicked. From the looks of it, Richard seemed to be under attack. He didn't know what kind of being dared to attack her, but if she thought about the explosions, the answer was pretty clear.
"Shit. I have to go." Rea clicked her tongue. She didn't hesitate to jump away.
But as a leader of this army, she didn't forget to lock eyes with the commander. She put her fingers in front of her eyes before pointing them at the commander as if telling him to watch out.
Meanwhile, Rea went straight to the location where she sent Isaac and the other scouts.
She was worried that they would be facing those unique monsters at once.
*Boom!*
*Boom!*
*Boom!*
Multiple explosions occurred not far from her. She wanted to fly into the sky to check, but she could see a huge barrier that surrounded the area.
"Not good. They are trapped inside the barrier?" Rea hurriedly used the radio to check Isaac's condition. "Hey. Come in! Isaac!"
The sound remained static as if they didn't have any connection inside. Rea gritted her teeth while transforming into Oni Form.
She had to break this barrier even if it cost her a lot of energy.
The red horns on her head started to shine as the redness of that horn was transmitted to the blade, dyeing it.
She took a deep breath while gathering a vast amount of Magic Power into her sword. Her mind couldn't help but recall what her father did with his unique sword art.
As if trying to imitate her father, Rea raised her sword the way her father did.
But Rea also had her own path. If her father's path resulted in a strike that could cut everything, her sword strike came from the power of the demon.
"Haaaa! Singular Strike." Rea shouted while swinging her blade down. The red sword shone as its red color suddenly moved toward the barrier and extended to the top.
And from that red color like a sticker, the barrier started to crack as if there was a hammer cutting it from the ground. This was her most powerful sword strike, the Singular Strike. It might not be able to cut everything, but it crushed everything.
The crack started to fall apart and the sound of the explosions began to echo in her ears again.
*Cling!*
The barrier ultimately shattered like glasses, falling into the ground. Rea wanted to head inside immediately, trying to find Isaac.
But whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, Isaac and Walker actually appeared before her, almost passing her.
They recognized each other. But before Rea could say anything, Isaac already shouted with a frantic tone. "Run!"
