"Unbelievably unreliable!" Ji Rui Guang couldn't help but curse, given his identity and status.
If it were truly a case of a complete defeat, then running away would be understandable. But they hadn't even lost; it was just that two of their own had been killed, and the remaining one fled without regard for anything else. This was just too real!
Suddenly, the situation shifted to Pao Bai facing two foes, the lutherans three against two, while the newcomers were faced with three mature and powerful evil armor star warriors.
These beings, possessing sturdy defensive shells, were menacingly approaching the newbies.
Their allure was so strong that all three warriors dispatched from above were renowned fighters.
Not to mention they were facing opponents of the same level; even those a tier higher wouldn't be beyond their reach. It was certain that the Apocalypse Star warriors were lacking in strength and their retreat was undeniable, but the gap in combat power existed. Without being in the position of the Apocalypse Star people, it was hard to understand.
The last person who fled was somewhat scared after being beaten.
Yet, regardless, they had to face the fact that without Ye Zhongming, the newbies were up against the morale-boosted and powerful evil armor star warriors.
Husky and Ji Rui Guang exchanged glances, both understanding each other's choice.
The battle began without much dialogue or probing and directly entered a heated phase.
Just moments ago, the newcomers had done their utmost to kill two Giant Star people, but now the evil armor star warriors were desperately trying to eliminate the newbies.
They knew that to achieve their goal, they had to get rid of these troublesome foes in front of them.
The pain of the newbies was something only they understood.
Earlier, to improve the situation and clarify the battle as quickly as possible, they had desperately used most of their ultimate techniques, even exhausting nearly all their best equipment.
Now, they faced a larger and stronger group of warriors. Even though they still had the numerical advantage, the situation had rapidly worsened.
On the fifth second of engagement, one newbie was gravely injured, only saved from death by the efforts of his companions.
By the twelfth second, another newbie had died.
On the twentieth second, Jie Kui's ambush failed, and he was severely injured.
On the thirty-first second, Husky sustained a light injury.
On the thirty-fifth second, a second newbie perished.
On the forty-seventh second, two newbies were heavily injured and had to withdraw.
At one minute and three seconds, a third newbie died!
In just over a minute, three newbies were dead, four were severely injured, and four or five others sustained light injuries! The evil armor star warriors only paid a light injury for one mature warrior and the death of one newbie, with the rest merely suffering light wounds!
The power dynamics had drastically shifted within a minute, and it was evident that the newbies would soon face annihilation.
"Hold on! Our only hope is to wait for Ye Zhongming to recover his combat power," Ji Rui Guang said calmly, taking over for Husky and facing the strongest evil armor star warrior head-on.
The others understood that there was no chance of Pao Bai escaping, and it was already fortunate if they didn't face immediate defeat; there was certainly no opportunity for help from that side. As for the lutherans... Well, it was already impressive that they hadn’t run away. They were likely just indulging in a bit of luck, curious to see how things would unfold. But asking them to fight with determination was out of the question.
The newbies had to solve this problem themselves.
Deaths were inevitable; everyone was merely betting that these fewer than twenty people wouldn't all perish before Ye Zhongming could recover.
However... why did they still feel such despair?
In dire situations, life’s potential can be unleashed the most. These newbies, perhaps they should be called outstanding newbies, had their potential unleashed.
