It felt like the end of the world—an apocalyptic scene of collapsing skies and crumbling earth. The frenzied advance of the slime molds swept through Soraya City like a massive tidal wave, filling the air with a pervasive sense of dread.
At this very moment, Orion was standing on the city wall, flanked by Vexis on one side and Soraya on the other.
"For us, this city is the final barrier—our strongest line of defense."
The one speaking was Soraya. Wherever her gaze fell, whether on the city walls or deep beneath the ground outside, her small scorpions were packed in dense formations. Facing the onslaught of the slime molds layer, which surged like a roaring tide, even her voice quivered slightly. This kind of colossal battle was something she had never witnessed before.
"Head back to the Nest. That's where you truly belong in this fight. As long as the small scorpions aren't wiped out, you and Vexis will remain our greatest hope."
