Chapter 338: Worse Scenario
Nidhogg sped up, heading straight toward the mature class alien.
As soon as they were directly above the people, Flora jumped off Nidhogg's back. Her wind spirit helped her descent.
Meanwhile, Nathan examined the mature class alien as well as other aliens from the sky.
The alien looked like an elephant. It had six legs as well as tentacles covering its back.
The size alone was concerning, as the elephant caused a small tremor just by moving. There was a chance it would end up causing even more major problems in the mine.
On the other hand, the mine's entrance was located at a slightly elevated position on the mountain. It would be a problem if the mature class alien would climb the mountain since there was a high chance the mine would collapse.
However, if they focused on the mature class aliens, the rest of the aliens would surround those people.
He knew Flora was strong, but he didn't know her exact strength.
Hence, he wanted to play it safe. "Sera. Take care of the enemies over there. Make sure that you stop all the aliens in the center and those that will come after that, so I and Flora won't need to care about them.
"Flora should have enough ability to take care of the entire left side while protecting those guys."
"I understand. Do I need to boost your ability?"
Nathan pondered. "Yes. Give me your Synchronization. Currently, we need to push that giant alien away from the mountain. Hence, I need a lot of firepower."
"Got it."
When they were about to reach the elephant, Sera and Nathan leaped off Nidhogg as they summoned their respective familiars.
Nathan said, "All of you will take care of the aliens on the right side. Make sure no alien passes because I have to fully focus on that freaking elephant."
Fenrir and the others nodded their heads.
Anubis used his Synchronization before leaving.
Sera did the same before going with her familiars.
Nathan skillfully positioned himself between the mountain and the elephant.
The elephant-like alien had a body reaching as high as thirty meters (98 feet). It seemed to be planning on unleashing all its weight on the mountain.
Hence, Nathan summoned his bullets, but this time he didn't split them. He just made two giant spheres and combined them into a single bullet.
The elephant noticed him and waved its trunk to smash him.
Nathan shot the bullet first and hit its body.
The bullet exploded upon impact, causing the alien's body to sway left. To his surprise, the alien's body remained intact.
In addition, the elephant recovered almost immediately and smashed Nathan. The latter managed to jump away, but the impact caused a shock wave that knocked him to the ground.
He then summoned thirty explosive bullets and shot the right side of the body, trying to knock the elephant to the ground.
A series of explosions echoed on the battlefield, and it looked like the attack was working. The elephant's body was tilting almost forty degrees. It would soon lose control and fall to the ground.
The elephant surprised Nathan for the second time. The tentacles on its back stretched themselves to the limit and hit the ground, acting as a support pillar that stopped the elephant from falling.
'Are you serious?' Nathan narrowed his eyes. 'I'm hitting it with explosive bullets boosted by Anubis and Sera. And it's still not enough? And it only scratches the surface of its skin. How thick are they?'
Nathan clenched his teeth. It looked like killing the mature class alien was possible, but it would take too much time.
Fenrir and the others focused on their respective battles. Yet Nidhogg's chaos fire created another concern. It looked like Nidhogg was going all out.
Although he had promised not to burn trees, it didn't change the fact it was just a second priority.
Nidhogg wouldn't have gone all out if the aliens were not fierce. Hence, it appeared there were a lot of strong aliens among them.
He thought there should be at least a few juvenile class aliens among the enemies. A mutant might also be possible. While Nidhogg and the others were strong, their Ena hadn't reached the level where they could fight a mature class alien by themselves.
Sera was able to manage due to her Synchronization, but if the enemies were the same. She might end up using too much Ena in the process.
'This does not look good. Are we going to have trouble against a single mature class alien?' Nathan bit his lips.
And the situation was actually worse than he thought. He told Lees he was better at fighting humans because they were relying on their rationality during the fight.
On the other hand, even if the alien had a certain level of rationality, they would still rely on their instinct.
That instinct had just proven to be extremely annoying.
A deep horn sound echoed from within the elephant, as if it were trying to call other mature class demons.
They suspected there were ten mature class aliens. If all of them came to this place, even Flora might not be able to take them on by herself.
The situation became even more hopeless on Flora's side.
Flora landed next to the people that seemed to be ready to fight the alien. All of them looked scared because the enemy's numbers were too high. It was impossible for them to take care of those aliens by themselves.
If they ran, they would end up getting slaughtered from behind. The people inside the mine would also be exposed to danger.
They might have to sacrifice their lives today.
When the hope looked bleak, Flora made her appearance. Without waiting for them to react, Flora said, "I am Flora Vietta Ezelia, the student council president of the Frexia Academy. I've come under the request of Elder Thompson. I need to work with all of you in order to escape from this current situation. Where is the supervisor?"
"Supervisor?" The people looked at her with a worried expression. They said, "The supervisor is inside the mine."
The moment she heard that reply, her heart sank.
