The piercing screech interrupted the girl's report, as the leading scissor monster leaped in the rain, its blade pointing directly at the center of the protective shield. Its speed was astonishing, and the strike it launched carried a force strong enough to tear through steel. It planned to attack while Gongsun Ce was vulnerable in his dream, aiming to hinder his actions within the dreamscape.
But its scissors failed to touch anything, not even having the chance to descend from high above. A fiery red beam pierced through its skull, the searing flames instantly melting the monster completely. Insect-like creatures and executioner monsters charged forward with grotesque laughter, while the man dressed in red leaped out from the protective barrier, wielding dual guns against the malevolent enemies. He sidestepped the insect monster's claws, delivering a painful elbow strike to its unprotected chest, pulling the trigger at the same time to shoot through the executioner's skull.
