Chapter 35: Antimatter Siege

Oh PTSD.

As soon as Bronya recognised the monsters as the antimatter legion. She quickly turned around and gave orders to them immediately: "It's the Antimatter Legion! I'll stay here to stop them, and you guys' hurry back and inform Lord Guardian that the Antimatter Legion is back!"

"What? Antimatter Legion?" Hearing this, Vaska and the people she brought with her took two steps back in horror.

"Lord Bronya, you must be careful, we will return to Beloberg as soon as possible to inform Lord Guardian."

With that, they ran towards Beloberg.

While running, he shouted: "The antimatter legion is back!"

Soon.

Dunn, the captain of the silver-maned iron guard at the Restricted Zone, heard their shouts and immediately remembered they were the ones who had left the gates with Lady Bronya. He approached them quickly, asking with concern, "What about Lady Bronya?"

Panting heavily, Vaska replied erratically, "She's still in the snowfield!"

Dunn's eyes widened in shock, and he exclaimed, "What?! Rand, go quickly and inform Lord Jepard. The rest of you, follow me!"

With urgency in his voice, Dunn turned to Vaska and said, "Vaska, I entrust you with the task of informing Lord Guardian as soon as possible. Can you do that?" Vaska nodded vigorously in response.

Dunn then raised his right spear and commanded, "Let's head out immediately!" Following his orders, the twelve silver-maned guards on duty swiftly rushed toward the snowfield.

Vaska hurriedly returned to Qilpoth Fort and reported the situation. Within seconds, the news reached Adonis.

Adonis hearing this couldn't help but frown.

Antimatter Corps.

Followers of the Aeon of destruction Nanook. He sees the destruction of civilization as his duty. He had already expected that they would comeback after rebuilding Jarlio-VI, but this….

"It's earlier than I thought," Adonis mused. He furrowed his brow and said, "Just keep hiding; don't let me catch you."

"As for the Antimatter Legions? Even though you arrived earlier than I predicted... You came at the perfect time."

Adonis smoothly rose from his chain, and in an instant, his body disappeared from the spot. 

Using the quantum shuttles, he sent Jepard, Seele, Serval, and Natasha to the Outlying Plains. 

Each of them was surprised, everything happened so quickly that they didn't have time to wonder or ponder about it.

…..

Outlying Snow Plains.

Bronya and the Silver Maned Guards had already engaged the Antimatter Legions. When Adonis addressed them, he told them, "They're your target. Deal with them as you like with your new abilities."

Hearing Adonis's voice from behind, they turned and saw his serious expression. The four of them nodded in understanding.

Jepard lowered his head and, with a resounding boom, rushed forward. Seele, not one to be left behind, transformed into black smoke, dashing right behind Jepard. 

Natasha immediately took out her howitzer, while Serval brought out her guitar.

Serval strummed her guitar, sending out a powerful sound impact. Natasha, in tandem with Serval, amplified the impact of Serval's attack. 

At the front, Jepard sensed Serval's attack incoming and summoned a shield to protect Bronya and the Silver Maned Guards.

BOOM!

Several small fries of the Antimatter Legions were sent flying into the sky, as Jepard and Seele began their hunting spree.

-

Adonis walked up to Bronya and the rest and inquired, "You all aren't hurt, are you?"

Dunn, panting heavily, quickly saluted, "Lord Guardian, we are not hurt. Although they are easy to beat, their numbers make them a problem."

Bronya saw Adonis looking at her and shook her head. Then she glanced at Jepard, saying, "Lord Guardian... they..."

Jepard summoned a transparent shield and began battering into the crowds of Antimatter Legion. Black smoke whizzed by, and heads were flying.

Natasha and Serval, on the other hand, provided cover from the sides. Each time Natasha fired a grenade, it left a deep hole in the ground. 

Bronya and the Silver maned guards couldn't help but marvel at the strange scene in front of them. Jepard didn't appear to hold a shield, but the antimatters couldn't touch him, no matter how hard they tried.

Seele on the other hand, they could only see her figure, for a short time, then after that, she disappears again.

Serval on the other hand, casually playing her guitar is actually damaging them.

What is going on?

Adonis noticed the mixed expression on Bronya's face and smiled. "You had another task at hand, so you don't know, but now is a good time." 

"Eat it."

Adonis spoke in a matter-of-fact tone, summoning a fruit into his hand. Bronya quickly grasped what happened.

'Seele and the others ate fruit, and they became stronger,' she realized. 

Without hesitation, she took the fruit and bit into it. A moment later, she raised her hand to cover her mouth, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes.

Adonis wanted to laugh, seeing her expression, but he held it back, "You can join the battle now," Adonis motioned to Bronya.

Bronya, after eating the most horrendous fruit she had ever eaten could only nod her head, as she turned back to the battle field.

Head flew.

Head flew up.

More heads flew up.

Even though they were ordinary foot soldiers, their sheer numbers made up for their shortcomings. 

Suddenly, in the snowfield behind the battlefield, two spheres appeared, one black and one white, suspended in the air. 

New antimatter legions appeared from it. Their outer perimeters looked like shattered armor, and the energy core in the center resembled a black hole. 

With this…... More antimatter legions descended onto the battlefield from these spheres.
