Bernie said coldly,
"If we don't use it, we will die now, and if we are defeated, this artifact will fall into the hands of the enemy. I believe the Leader of Gainer would agree with the decision I have made."
The other two Children of Nightmare remained silent, or rather, one of them, Gould, had not responded at all.
Seeing that his companions did not object, Bernie took a deep breath and said,
"In that case, we should temporarily retreat. I'll go activate the artifact!"
Isaiah responded,
"I will also withdraw troops."
After waiting a while and still not getting a response from Gould, the two Children of Nightmare tried to communicate with him, only to find that his presence was extremely unstable, flickering as if it were on the verge of collapse.
At the same time, on the battlefield, the Nightmare Legion belonging to Gould was beginning to show signs of restlessness.
