At the main passage, Noralia had to steady herself against the Imperial Guard Beetle to remain standing. She watched the lines of light across the ceiling flicker repeatedly, worry entering her voice as she asked, "What's happening?"
Yuna observed them for a moment before calmly answering, "The Nest Core is about to self-destruct."
Noralia immediately looked in the direction Noan had gone. She was about to open the territory link when a group of A-rank insect soldiers poured out of the tunnel ahead, forcing all thirty Meteor Warriors to advance at once.
Silver light flashed.
The insect soldiers were pierced through before they could finish spreading into formation.
Elsewhere, six S-rank Guardians were trying to break through the defensive line. A Jade Rabbit dodged a descending pincer, leaped onto the Guardian's head, and swung its mallet.
BAM!
