Battle of the Black Dragon Gate (4)

Luna was not only an essential part but was the core of their defensive formation.

She couldn't be the first to fall, or the entire plan would collapse.

As the two had agreed earlier, Ian slammed his palm onto the crystalline floor, leaving behind a black rune at the center of a shadowy magic circle.

Shye then quickly grabbed his friend and vice commander by his cloak, decisively hurling him the next moment toward Luna's location.

Ian tore through the air at mind-blowing speed.

If not for his… similarly frequent experiences in the past, he would have struggled to retrieve Luna.

He focused his gaze on his target, despite his mouth hanging comically open.

Then, with immaculate precision, Ian hurled a shadow chain at the struggling shielder, latching securely onto her shadow.

Luna's final defensive skill broke right at that moment, causing her to vomit blood once more due to the numerous backlashes she had to endure.
