Levy's body, like a kite with a broken string, fell heavily to the ground.
She clutched her abdomen in agony, unable to make a complete sound, and coughed up large mouthfuls of blood. The black beam had pierced her abdomen, leaving a shocking wound that went straight through her body. Blood continuously gushed out, staining the ground beneath her.
"Levy!" Jet roared, his eyes bloodshot. He lunged forward, kneeling beside Levy, his trembling hands trying to staunch the ceaseless flow of blood from her wound.
However, the blood continued to seep out between his fingers, impossible to stop.
His eyes were filled with helplessness and terror. "Levy, hold on, you must hold on!"
Droy also rushed over, tears welling in his eyes, his voice choked with sobs: "Levy, you'll be fine, you'll be fine!"
Although Laki was also very worried, she knew she had to remain vigilant. She sidestepped two paces to shield them, her eyes fixed on the direction from which the attack had come.
"What deep affection," a crisp clapping sound echoed, and a tall figure slowly approached from a distance, followed by numerous Orc Soldiers.
The newcomer was similar in height to a Black Pig People but had a much stronger physique. He had a single black horn on his head, was bald, and wore armor made of black keratin. In his hand, he held a striking black shield shaped like a turtle shell.
The newcomer clapped his hands gently, his face expressionless, but his eyes full of derision. With a wave of his hand, the Orc Soldiers behind him dispersed, running in other directions, leaving the shield-wielding man to confront Laki and the others.
Laki glared at the sneak attacker with a furious expression, her teeth clenched, and angrily roared, "Who are you?"
The man holding the turtle shell shield replied calmly, "Newborn City, Twenty-Four Generals, Hanlu Turtle."
"You detestable fellow, unforgivable!" Jet gently lowered Levy, stood up, and his eyes burned with raging fury.
The magic boots on his feet flashed, and his figure, like a ghost, left trails of afterimages, instantly appearing at General Hanlu Turtle's side.
"Supersonic Impact!" Jet was exceptionally enraged. Using the momentum from his run, he launched a flying kick at General Hanlu Turtle, his leg tearing through the air.
However, his fierce kick only left a tiny mark on Hanlu Turtle's body.
That mark on Hanlu Turtle's body was as insignificant as a mosquito bite.
Hanlu Turtle didn't even make a defensive move, his upper body swayed slightly, his feet remaining still.
Jet, however, felt as if his leg had kicked a steel plate. A bone-chilling pain shot through him, causing him to instinctively perform two consecutive backflips to create some distance.
"Damn it! How is this possible?" Jet gritted his teeth, his right leg trembling slightly. The obvious stinging pain filled his heart with unwillingness.
Jet endured the pain and attacked again, his legs turning into phantoms, kicking out repeatedly.
Each kick contained all his strength and anger, accompanied by whistling wind, as if it could tear through the void.
But General Hanlu Turtle merely swayed his body slightly, guarding his groin with his shield, closing his eyes, and indifferently allowing Jet's attacks to land on him.
After kicking more than ten times consecutively, it was Jet, who had been on the offensive, who was the first to give out.
After delivering another full-power Supersonic Impact, Jet endured the sharp pain in his leg and quickly retreated, creating distance from Hanlu Turtle.
Hanlu Turtle opened his eyes, twisted his neck, and with a sneer said, "Hmm, this massage is pretty good. Again, again."
"This bastard..." Jack's face was grim. A bone-deep stinging pain shot through his legs, causing them to tremble slightly as he stood on the ground, but he forced himself to stand straight.
Jet was certain that his legs must have sustained hairline fractures; his face was extremely pale.
"My attacks were completely useless..." Looking at Hanlu Turtle, who was basically unharmed except for a few footprints on his body, Jet's heart sank to the bottom.
"Cough... cough cough..."
A sound came from behind. Jet turned to look. Levy was lying on her side on the ground, her hands struggling to push herself up, but with her abdomen pierced, blood surged up her throat, and she coughed up large mouthfuls of blood onto the ground. Her thick white coat was covered in mud and bloodstains.
"Levy..." Jet's heart trembled. Despair and pain gnawed at his insides. "She's going to die..."
He wasn't a novice fresh out of the guild, and his strength was average, but the three members of the Drive Engine Team had all grown up in the guild. They had seen a lot since childhood, and as adults, they had formed a team to carry out numerous commissions, giving them a clear judgment of injuries.
Even with a Mage's strong physique, such a severe penetrating wound would only allow her to hold on a little longer than an ordinary person.
"Levy's injuries are so severe, yet I can't even harm the enemy?"
"Do I not even have the strength to seek justice for my companion?"
"Jet, I'll help you!" Droy saw his companion's poor condition and immediately jogged forward, throwing a large handful of emerald seeds from his pocket onto the ground.
Instantly, countless thick vines burst from the ground, like giant green pythons, rapidly coiling around Hanlu Turtle.
These vines also grew sharp thorns; even a Black Pig People would be unable to break free if bound and would only be strangled to death.
But Hanlu Turtle merely sneered, casually waving a hand, and the vines on his body were immediately torn apart and thrown aside.
Broken vine fragments scattered everywhere, and green sap splattered.
"It's my turn, isn't it!" Hanlu Turtle touched his bald head, grinned, and lowered his head slightly, aiming the horn on his head straight forward. A black stream of water instantly condensed, transforming into a surging torrent of water, charging towards Jet like a raging dragon.
The water impact was extremely fast, carrying immense pressure and force. Wherever it passed, deep furrows were ploughed into the ground.
"Black water?" Jet quickly dodged, his body rapidly twisting in the air, but he was still grazed by the edge of the water stream.
The powerful impact sent him flying. His body arced through the air and fell heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
His clothes were tattered by the water impact, and deep wounds appeared on his body. Blood gushed from the wounds, staining his body.
The black water seemed unusual. Jet noticed a sharp pain from his wounds and looked down to see his skin festering.
Jet endured the pain, and his light green magic power emanated from his body, shaking off the remaining water droplets from his wounds. He raised his head and shouted, "His water magic is corrosive! Everyone, be careful!"
"Wood Molding · Enclosed Umbrella!" Laki shouted, instantly creating a huge wooden shield, blocking it in front of Jet.
This shield was made of sturdy wood, with sharp wooden thorns growing on it, exuding powerful magic fluctuations.
Jet took the opportunity to roll over and get up from the ground, tearing off his tattered clothes and simply wrapping them around his wounds to stop the bleeding.
Seeing this, General Hanlu Turtle raised his shield high. In the sky, black water droplets appeared out of thin air, one after another. The droplets hovered in the air, stretching and deforming into sharp water arrows under everyone's gaze, shooting densely towards them.
The water arrows covered an extremely wide area, and the injured Levy was also within the attack range.
