fell, the squad acted quickly but was still swarmed by the Magic Beast Tide . Eric kept attacking the Magic Beasts whenever it was hard for the warriors to bring up their rear (defend their retreat from attacks at the back of the group) allowing the warriors to stabilize their formation . But even with his formidable prowess, he was getting tired fighting wave after wave of beasts . Looking at Ye Chui and others get swarmed by Magic Beasts, he became anxious, knowing that it would be hard for him to make it in time .

“Saint Word: Guardian of the Seven G.o.ds!”
Vivian turned to one of the pages in the Seven G.o.ds Saint Word . She recited one of the verses aloud . A giant palm congealed d in the air covering the remaining 60 warriors of the first squad . From afar, it looked like a pair of hands held onto tiny people .
This was a defense barrier and none of the surrounding Magic Beasts could break through this palm, clearly showcasing the might of its defense . When the exhausted warrior noticed they were safe, they let out a breath of relief .
Ye Chui sized up this palm and could not help but exclaim: “These Followers sure have fun skills . These type of special effects would require no small sum to recreate . ”
Vivian’s little face started to show signs of exhaustion . She was worried [I… how much longer can I last like this…]
The present situation was obvious . They were at the center of the Magic Beast Tide . It was very difficult to escape to safety . This was akin to the time at Skull Town, where Ye Chui and Debbie were besieged by the Wind Wolves .
At that time, there were only 100 Wind Wolves in the pack . But now, it was over a thousand Magic Beasts encircling them .
As if that weren’t enough, all the warriors have been fighting for the past hour and they were exhausted, physically and mentally . If things continue, their spirits would have been broken as well .
The squad leader, already downcast . gathered his spirits to speak: “since it has come to this, we must fight to the end . We must make sure that our deaths save Stan City . ”
After hearing what Beira said, the surrounding warrior’s heart started to be filled with vigor and they pledged, once again, to fight to the death . Ye Chui, who was also greatly moved by Beira’s words, turned to Debbie and said: “Debbie, let us join our bodies together . ”
When Ye Chui said that, all the others had only one thought: [How could he be so shameless, flirting at such a time as this?]
Alfea, however, was red with envy… .
“Err… what I wanted to say was that we should combine our body techniques…” Ye Chui started to explain hastily . The so-called combining of body techniques is to use Debbie’s Gatling bombarding the ground while he carried her floating in the air . This was the only way Ye Chui could think of escaping the Magic Beasts encirclement .
Debbie’s eyes shone brightly but then turned gloomy: “No . With that attack, only the two of us can escape . I am not going to leave without everyone here! In any case… so long as my Hammer can live on, everything is good . ”
“… . . ” Ye Chui sighed . For him, Debbie was the most important person . He would not let anything happen to her, even if it meant his death . He also knew that Debbie thought of him the same way . He wanted to persuade Debbie more but she has already made her stance clear . He stepped in front of Debbie: “Debbie, I should tell you something… . ”
“I also happen to have something to tell you . ” Debbie interrupted Ye Chui’s words . She held her hand in front of Ye Chui and said: “give back the pouch that you have gotten from me when we were in the Dark Forest . ”
“err…?”
“what? You want to dishonor your debt even at this time?” Debbie responded without delay .
“What…” Ye Chui did not know what to say . How could she still think of money… at such a time… he gave Debbie her pouch back, embarra.s.sed .
Debbie puts into her chest after taking the pouch . Her face revealed a great deal of gratification: “we are facing imminent danger . Once Hammer returns and finds me, he will know that this money was for him . ”
Ye Chui was moved . Even while facing death, Debbie still thought of his wellbeing . For her, sending Hammer away for hire was her biggest victory . Hammer would live on… that was enough for her . Ye Chui wanted to speak, but no voice would come out . [If Debbie were to find out now… will she be sad?]
“Aaahrrr!” Ye Chui suddenly let out a bellow . The depressing atmosphere that he hated was getting to him and he wanted to wipe it off . He gritted his teeth in rage as he started towards the densely packed group of Magic Beast that surrounds him . “You pieces of s.h.i.t! Let me show you what I’m made of!”
