Yang An, standing in the tree, was completely dumbfounded.
He watched as the robot raised its longsword. Amid a cacophony of clanking and whirring, the sword rapidly transformed into the mechanical monster that had just been drilling through the ground.
The maw, formed from countless gears and sharp blades, pointed at Yang An. A powerful suction pulled at him, and at the same time, a fiery red glow began to fill the maw.
Everything around Yang An was dragged toward the mechanical monster's maw by the immense suction. Even the tree he stood on couldn't withstand the force and was torn out by the roots.
Without a second thought, he pushed off with his feet, intending to fly away, but the suction hindered him. For a moment, he found he couldn't escape.
Suddenly, an explosive blast sounded from behind him. A fiery red energy beam shot out of the mechanical monster's maw, heading straight for Yang An and engulfing him in an instant.
