The moment Elvira finished speaking, Ben's sense of danger spiked.
He sent out a quick mental order, then moved in front of her.
This time he went all out.
His enhanced chitin surged over his body like armor.
Six jagged legs burst from his back and folded around him like a shield.
He brought his hands together and braced for impact.
The shieldbearers jumped forward and raised their shields.
The rest of his scouts spread out to cover their backs.
SLASH!!!
A vertical line split down the egg.
A flood of notifications hit his vision a heartbeat later.
Pain followed, along with a deafening clang.
[Your Krell Scout has perished!]
[Your Krell Scout has perished!]
[…]
[Your Krell Scout has perished!]
His six spider-like legs were cut clean in half.
The attack only stopped when it slammed into his chest.
Ben's gaze sharpened.
His armor regenerated at once.
The pickaxe formed in his grip and he swung without hesitation.
CLANG!!!
A massive shockwave burst out.
