After learning that neither the Everchanger nor the First Sword could come to Taon's rescue, the Ylvainan mech pilot knew that he could only rely on himself and his battle partner.
"WE NEED TO OPEN FIRE!" The Zeal urged. "I KNOW SHE IS YOUR CLANSMAN, BUT WE NEED TO DEFEND OURSELVES! WE ONLY NEED TO HOLD OFF THE ELEGANT RAGE UNTIL THE FORCED RESONANCE STATE HAS RUN ITS COURSE."
"It won't work… Lanie and her mech have become too powerful… they will finish us off in seconds…"
Despite being connected to the Zeal, Taon no longer responded to his heavy artillery mech's urgings anymore.
In fact, ever since he had been misled by the Emperor Tree, he had become deaf to most outside voices.
He could no longer trust their words anymore. How could he determine whether they were true or false?
Taon had no way of distinguishing one from the other!
