While Rei and Xander were clashing, Terrana talked with Leo, Lia, and Alice as she relayed the instructions.
Xander was getting closer to Rei, but Rei was also ready to finally gamble, and if he succeeded, Xander would die.
'Amby! Take all my phantom energy, boost yourself, and hit Xander from his back with your Amber Burst Tail.'
Rei wanted to pincer attack Xander, not giving him a chance to block and kill him!
Rei only gave his thoughts to Amby while continuing his offense since Terrana should be done with the preparation.
On the other hand, two people from space bikes had just landed on the spacecraft to invade and stop it when it suddenly started flying towards the garden and accelerated as Terrana controlled it.
"What are you all doing?! Stop the spacecraft!"
"Too late! Move away, everyone!"
"Wait, is it going to crash down?!"
"Run! Tell those enforcers to get away! Fucking get away!"
Meanwhile, Leo, Lia, and Alice arrived at the park and hid at the fence. The enforcer team was also approaching the park but stopped upon seeing the spacecraft accelerating there!
"Lia, use your barrier on yourself and others before the spacecraft crash here. With this crash as a chaotic distraction, we will escape and board the spaceship that's departing in two or maybe one minutes from now on. Time is of the essence," Terran said.
…
Xander saw the spacecraft accelerating and frowned, but Rei was not stopping his attacks!
The spacecraft arrived, fully accelerated, and just as it was about to crash in three seconds, Amby attacked Xander from behind!
*Squich!!*
Its fluffy tail had grown thicker and bigger after absorbing all phantom energy as it burst with amber-colored hot sparks!
Rei also took back his sword and drew it quickly with a piercing stab straight toward Xander's heart!
Xander could sense both attacks, but his expression didn't change as he made a split-second decision. He instantly used Hunter's trophy he got from the prey he hunted several days ago and buffed himself.
After judging that the attack behind him was fatal and harder to avoid, he focused on Amby while moving his body a bit to prevent his heart from getting pierced by Rei's sword!
"Fools," Xander muttered, waving his sword at Amby's tail, cutting it off along with Amby into two!
Rei's sword pierced Xander but missed his heart!
'NOOO!'
Rei internally shouted as he saw Amby cutting into two!
A second later, he was surrounded by Lia's barrier as the spacecraft arrived and crashed into the park!
*BOOOM!!*
*Crrrrrrr!!*
*Booom!*
A scene of chaos was pictured five hundred meters from the area as the spacecraft blasted and caused significant damage to the surroundings. The enforcers who were locking the area at that time and arriving there upon president Lu's orders were severely injured, and some died despite all of them wearing protective suits.
Xander and Rei were buried beneath the spacecraft, along with Leo, Lia, and Alice.
*Bam!*
Alice punched open a gap while surrounded by Lia's barrier, which had cracks all over.
She quickly removed Lia and Leo from the wreckage of the spacecraft with her super strength before dashing toward Rei's buried location.
Just as she arrived at Rei's location, Rei came out with his katana cutting through the wreckage. His face was bloodied and injured since Lia's barrier broke due to the powerful impact. However, it absorbed the majority of the damage and kept him safe.
The Inked Vision also vanished right after the spacecraft crashed, allowing him to see everything clearly.
"Take out Terrana and enter the spaceship in the station while everything is in chaos," Rei said, his voice and eyes indifferent. Locating Xander's buried spot with his eye sense, he instantly pierced his blade after jumping there.
He pierced the location several times as his katana became more bloodied with each thrust.
"We don't have much time," Alice said after removing Terrana's core from the buried pod.
Rei turned around and nodded before he and Alice left.
Leo and Lia had already arrived at the station and boarded the ship before entering their cabin.
The spaceship was luxurious and high-tech, as passengers could make cabins according to their group when booking tickets. For instance, a group of five could make their cabin as thin walls would adjust accordingly to make the cabin in the spaceship.
Some passengers were alone, but most were in different groups in various sizes of cabins determined by their number.
Most passengers sat in their cabins and watched the news on their personal monitors, while a few left the spaceship out of curiosity or other reasons.
Shortly afterward, Rei and Alice arrived in the booked cabin and sat on the seats.
"Where is Amby?" Lia asked.
Rei closed his eyes and shook his head. His slightly moving jaw indicated that he was clenching his teeth in frustration and anger.
Lia covered her mouth, her eyes turning moist. Alice's face fell, and her eyes also turned moist.
"Damn it." Leo clenched his fist and sighed. He felt blamed since he chose this planet to land on.
Although Amby was only with them for a short time, they had already believed that their cute new companion would accompany them for a long time. Alas… who knew they would separate so soon?
"Dear Passengers, the launch will be delayed by an hour due to orders from the government."
