Five Days Earlier,
When Parasite X crashed down upon Baeldum, it was Supreme Marc's advance team that responded first.
Twenty strong, half of them Grand Magus cultivators, the Hunter Supreme's personal strike force descended upon the impact site and attacked the massive worm-like giant without hesitation. At Marc's side stood his two most trusted subordinates: Colonel Garran, his closest aide, and Special Officer Lirien, a spirit master prodigy whose talent had earned recognition throughout the Alliance.
Both were Three Cosmos experts.
"Lirien! Hold on—keep its mental attacks suppressed!"
Marc's voice thundered across the battlefield.
"It's trying to escape underground!"
"Garran, lead the pursuit!"
"Yes, my Lord!"
The battle lasted only minutes.
It went wrong almost immediately.
