Nathan raised his head, staring at the worm.
He had to kill this worm without the help of his familiars. He didn’t even have a lot of Ena left in his body. In addition, Brunhild hadn’t reached the level of a mature class alien.
The angel and the fallen angel, as well as Sera’s Synchronization, might help to a certain extent, but it was hard to say whether they could take it down or not.
Despite having to find a way to defeat the worm, Nathan’s mind wandered elsewhere.
‘Well, I should have expected something like this the moment I decided my fourth familiar to be Tenko. Fenrir is my first familiar and his summoning is kind of forced. Sun Wukong was supposed to appear instead of Anubis. The only time everything worked in my favor was Nidhogg’s summoning.
‘I guess I should just keep a few options possible so that something like this doesn’t happen again in the future.’
Nathan sorted his own thoughts and started glancing at Serafina.
Nathan dashed toward her while forming multiple bullets. “Sera.”
Sera nodded and shared the Synchronization with him.
Nathan examined the worm. The worm seemed to be the most worm-like creature than any alien so far. It had a long, sectioned body and no tentacles on the skin. However, it had a huge circular mouth that symbolized the position of its head. The teeth were spread evenly, as though it could crush everything that would enter its mouth.
The worm had a high speed and zigzag movement like a snake. It could even bounce off the ground.
Fortunately, Brunhild had expected it and flown away.
Brunhild landed on the worm’s body, poured her Ena into her spear, and thrust it into the worm.
To her surprise, the spear barely pierced through the skin. Even though she didn’t use her full power, she thought it wouldn’t be impossible to at least reach the alien’s flesh.
The worm once again leaped into the air, forcing her to fly away. To her surprise, the worm wriggled. That unpredictable movement caused her to fly back to Sera. In addition, Nathan had caught up, so it was the sign of a counterattack.
Brunhild reported, “The skin is extremely tough. Even with my full power and Sera’s Synchronization, I might barely hit his flesh.”
The angel and the fallen angel glanced at her. If she could only do that, they might only be able to scratch its skin.
“This…” Sera looked worried, unable to see how they should defeat the alien. If Nathan still had his previous Ena, his firepower should be enough to take down this worm, especially with Brunhild’s help.
Nathan couldn’t help but smile.
“It’s fine. All of you are going to fight according to my will. Even if it means we’re unable to take down the worm, I will show you that stalling for time isn’t the only thing we can do.”
“How are you going to lead the fight?” Brunhild saw the worm was going toward them. They didn’t have a lot of time, so she immediately leaped toward the worm, trying to buy time.
However, the worm ignored her and moved toward Nathan and Sera.
The fallen angel and the angel flew into the sky while Nathan and Sera used their fastest speed to run away.
Sera maintained her Synchronization just in case while Nathan formed his bullets. Due to his current Ena capacity, he could only form fifteen bullets.
Fortunately, they had been enhanced by Sera. Even if it was weak, it still packed some punch.
However, he wanted to play it differently this time. Instead of grouping them into three, he divided them unevenly. There were three individual bullets separated from the rest of the group.
“Go.” Nathan released all those bullets into the sky.
The worm noticed the aggression and wanted to focus on Nathan. To the worm’s surprise, the eleven bullets swirled around the air, confusing him. He had to decide whether to go for Nathan or watch how these bullets tried to make an impact first.
And that was when Nathan’s plan took effect. The three individual bullets that he separated earlier actually flew toward Brunhild, Lavi, and Dane.
“!!!” All three of them were startled at first, but the bullets continued flying in a certain trajectory, making their way toward the alien’s body.
After fighting with Nathan for so long, they picked up Nathan’s intention.
“So that’s how it is.”
They followed the bullets.
Brunhild concentrated her Ena into the tip of her spear and dove, increasing her momentum as much as possible.
When the worm was about to reach Nathan, Brunhild suddenly dropped like a meteor.

“!!!” The worm was shocked as the impact vibrated his entire body. The spear managed to reach his flesh as Brunhild hurriedly tried to expand the wound with her spear.
The skin was much tougher than the flesh, but once it was cut, it became easier for the rest to be sliced. freewёbnoνel.com
And that was when the bullets for Lavi and Dane arrived.
Lavi, the fallen angel, rose into the sky and raised her hand. Dark mist started to gather above her palm as it gradually formed a spear.
“Darkness Spear.” She threw it down with all her strength, aiming for the open wound.
Dane, the angel, clapped his hand as a cross made of light appeared on top of him. He also let it drop to the open wound.
“Holy Drop!”
The two attacks hit the worm where it hurt.
Even if they were weaker than Brunhild, it didn’t mean they couldn’t make an impact.
The worm writhed violently as it was trying to push Brunhild and the others away. It turned out the bullets were nothing but a distraction.
The worm had realized that following Nathan’s bullets was more important, especially the ones that guided Brunhild and the others.
And this was when Nathan actually smiled.
“It seems it has realized my intention, but it doesn’t matter. After all, this is where the fun begins.” Nathan spread his arms, summoning more bullets. “I never play music, but I have imagined myself becoming a maestro on the battlefield when reading novels.”
