Oliver immediately rushed toward Helton while raising the cannon on his arm.
"Scatterburst Cannon!"
Dozens of explosive bullets blasted toward Helton at high speed. However, the moment the attacks hit him, Oliver's eyes widened in shock.
The bullets passed straight through Helton's body as if he were intangible. The impacted parts of his body instantly transformed into swarms of cicadas before reforming again.
At the same time, the black mist released from the lantern surged rapidly toward Nyx. Oliver immediately became frightened. For a brief moment, the terrifying thought of losing another monster appeared in his mind.
But just as the black mist touched Nyx, a barrier of light suddenly covered the giant monster.
[Mysterious force attempting to invade the system.]
[Protective measures initiated. Invasion by mysterious force successfully prevented.]
"What?!" Helton shouted in disbelief after seeing the black mist fail completely.
