The battle between Cedric's and Elina's forces was getting intense.
Even the heavy rain couldn't drown out the chaos of the battle.
"Damn it! How does Elina Lorian have a force this strong?"
Code 004 sped past the edge of Calvron Forest, carrying Velissa over his right shoulder.
He glanced back at the battle between his comrades and Elina's forces.
At first glance, they seemed to have the upper hand and were steadily pushing Elina's forces back. But Code 004 knew this advantage was only temporary.
If the battle dragged on until reinforcements arrived, they would surely be wiped out on the spot.
Suddenly—
Boom!
A fireball struck the ground directly in front of him.
Code 004 reacted quickly. He spun in midair before landing safely among the trees behind him.
"Who's there!? Come out—don't be a coward!" he shouted angrily.
"Hehehe… Are you surprised?"
A beautiful, petite woman suddenly materialized out of thin air.
Code 004's eyes widened in fear.
