"Our names have never been deliberately hidden. Any Infected who wishes can join our Reunion Movement family. Since you understand Reunion Movement and still dare to oppose us, and all oppressed Infected, you are a noble's lackey! You are our mortal enemy!"
Every time Talulah swung her longsword, a stream of fire would turn into a fiery arrow and rush towards Kanna, and her words made the Infected following her even more excited.
"Good speech, but useless against me. You say you fight for the Infected, but all I see is oppression and slaughter. It's merely a change of roles; the actual outcome is no different."
Kanna first shattered the fireball in front of her with a punch, then grabbed a spear that flew from a blind spot and threw it back towards Patriot's direction.
Then, she used lightning to remotely detonate the incoming grenades, and upon landing, she stomped the spreading ice on the ground into powder.
Although there was only one person in front of them, the Reunion Movement cadres found that they couldn't advance an inch. Even Talulah, after charging forward, was forced back by Kanna, who endured the output of the other few and unleashed a barrage of attacks.
Among the other three, although Frostnova participated in the battle, she felt that Reunion Movement's recent actions were inappropriate, so she was somewhat half-hearted.
Not only that, but she also intentionally or unintentionally used ice and snow to block Patriot's path, preventing him from rushing to the front line and engaging Kanna directly.
Skullshatterer, on the other hand, was giving his all, but his strength was among the lowest tier of cadres. Even when grenades exploded near Kanna, the actual damage they could inflict was almost negligible.
If Kanna hadn't been worried that Talulah being too close would melt the passage, thereby affecting the Rhodes Island group who hadn't fully evacuated from the passage, she could have actually chosen to leave the passage entrance and either charge forward or retreat.
After a prolonged stalemate, it was clear that Talulah, or rather "Kashchey," had also become enraged. The temperature of the flames in the plaza rose again. At this point, the floor around Kanna began to melt under the high temperature, and the other three cadres were blocked outside by the flames.
"Even a young demigod dares to covet Ursus!" When she rushed in front of Kanna again, the opponent was completely controlled by "Kashchey."
"What's so great about your side? I don't care at all! You disgusting worm, you'd better stay away from me, or I won't be polite!"
At this moment, Kanna was surrounded by lightning and thunder. Every second, flames and lightning collided and exploded in the air. Kanna looked up. The Pray for Rain effect wasn't fully activated, making it somewhat difficult to cleanly deal with the guy in front of her.
If she had activated Pray for Rain to the extent she did in Iberia, she would have been confident of capturing Talulah alive in five minutes at most.
"Beep beep beep! Mental contamination detected. System antivirus program starting. Full scan about to begin! Full scan starting 10, 9, 8... 3, 2, 1. Scan complete. Mental contamination cleared."
Just as the two sides exchanged blows and separated again, Kanna suddenly heard a sound from the system. She opened it to see that the Black Snake, unable to fight head-on, had tried to play dirty.
However, the opponent clearly didn't expect Kanna to have a backup plan, which directly nullified his move.
"Trash! How dare you profane the majesty of thunder!"
After Kanna's loud roar, the lightning around her intensified by three points, and her silver eyes opened once more.
At this moment, everyone felt an immense pressure, the gaze of a natural enemy, as if daring to move a single finger would invite a devastating attack.
"As long as I am in Ursus, as long as I have Infected behind me, you cannot defeat me!" Talulah waved her weapon, breaking free from the suppression on her body. On the other side, Patriot stood in front of Frostnova, slamming his large shield into the ground, completely shielding Frostnova, and looked seriously at Kanna's position.
"I never expected that our enemy would be a god." Patriot no longer held back. With the enhancement of his Originium Arts and formidable strength, the spear in his hand flew towards Kanna like a meteor.
Just then, several sharp sonic booms erupted in the square. Seven greatswords abruptly appeared between Patriot and Kanna, then unhesitatingly collided with the spear in mid-air.
Kanna was stunned when she saw the greatswords, almost getting struck by a direct blow from Kashchey, who had seized the opportunity.
Fortunately, she reacted quickly and punched the flaming greatsword back.
After jumping back and leaving the combat zone, Kanna turned to look. On the distant edge of Chernobog, a helicopter hovered in mid-air. Rosmontis stood 'majestically' on the helicopter, and with the wave of her hands, the seven greatswords actually blocked Patriot's full-force attack.
However, this also caused her a significant backlash, making her small face appear somewhat pale.
"Kanna, we have all safely evacuated Chernobog. Immediately board the 'Bad Guy' and depart. The Operators on the plane will assist your retreat."
Amiya's voice came through her communicator, sounding very anxious.
At this time, Stormeye and Pith on the plane were both unleashing firepower on the Reunion Movement on both sides. Kanna glanced at the battlefield. If they continued fighting, there was a chance to take down Reunion Movement in one go, but there was no reason for her to personally kill the Reunion Movement high-ranking members present, except for Kashchey.
And Kashchey couldn't be taken down in a short while, plus he had many clones, so even killing one Talulah wouldn't have much effect.
Thinking that the Doctor had just returned to Rhodes Island, it wouldn't be good to give him an impression of being arrogant, reckless, and willful on their first meeting, so she decided to give up.
Furthermore, Mephisto, whom she most wanted to kill, had successfully died by her hand, so retreating was not a difficult choice for her.
"I know your plan isn't just Chernobog. I'll be waiting for you at the next location. Then, old worm, we'll not only determine who's superior, but also who lives and dies!"
With that, Kanna leaped up, grabbed the helicopter's landing gear, and climbed aboard.
Seeing Kanna and her group leave, Talulah did not continue the pursuit. Instead, she stopped and watched Kanna depart.
After the battle ended, Patriot, with heavy footsteps, walked over with his spear.
Before Patriot could speak, Talulah said, "Let's go back. We still have many things to resolve. Control of Chernobog hasn't been fully secured. Patriot, Mephisto is dead. From now on, you will be in charge of all defensive work in Chernobog. Before our objective is achieved, I don't want anything like today to happen again."
