Ethan fell from the sky, and the Legion Arm was no longer enough to save him from the worst possible outcome.
After one of the giant insects slammed into him and sent both of them crashing toward the ground, Ethan barely avoided being crushed beneath the creature's massive body by throwing himself aside at the very last second.

Using the Great Executioner as support, Ethan forced himself back to his feet and struggled to steady his balance—
