Without turning around, Ethan spoke—his words still landing clearly in Andona's ears.
"You can't overpower him head-on right now. Go help me—take down those mortal ships up there."
Andona didn't argue.
She glanced at the shark phantom Ethan had pinned in place, then gave a hard nod.
Her golden wings snapped once.
She turned into a streak of gold and shot into the sky, diving straight for the enemy fleet.
Emerald Castle's army had been itching for this.
The moment Andona rose, the gunports on the Sky Fortresses lit up in unison. The energy cores on the Powered Combat Armor flared like a chain of ignited stars.
Warriors roared and unleashed everything they had, charging straight into the enemy fleet.
The battle went white-hot from the first second.
Both sides brought their weapons online almost simultaneously.
Energy beams crossed and crashed in the sky. Warship shields shuddered under impact. Volleys of fire hammered into formations, one wave after another.
