Erin''s weapon was said to be divided into five different stages, but few had the strength to force him to fully utilize all forms inbat.


    Usually, Erin only kept it at the second stage, since the Sniper Form allowed for both long-range attacks and closebat capabilities.


    Erin''s five weapon forms were: The first stage, Bone Knife Form, the second stage, Sniper Form, the third stage, Mimic Form, the fourth stage, Spirit Form, and the legendary ultimate form, King Form, which had never been used.


    The first stage, the Bone Knife Form, and the second stage, the Sniper Form, only required adjustments to the weapon''s appearance and were the easiest to switch between.


    However, for forms above the third stage, new parts needed to be assembled into the weapon. So, wherever Erin went, he carried a strange backpack that resembled a beetle on his back.


    And what was inside the backpack were the main parts that allowed him to advance his forms... bug stars!


    They were pale blue crystals of immense energy that were incubated within the bodies of powerful deceased Mars bugs. It was said that as long as the right method was used, one could directly connect with the queen bug through the spiritual world and gain a continuous supply of energy until death in battle.


    So, when Jonas saw that Erin was starting to assemble his weapon, he immediately understood that this battle was the one Erin had described before.


    It was not just about victory or defeat, but about life and death!


    In Erin''s backpack, there were a total of twelve bug stars. Jonas had heard that after Erin used six bug stars and was defeated by Mondorra, he became one of Mondorra''s most trusted allies.


    In the past, when dealing with ordinary characters, Erin would not even consider using the stars. It was a kind of trump card.


    Even when he asionally faced some tough opponents, Erin only used six bug stars to reach the fourth stage.


    Up to this moment, there had been no reports of Erin ever using twelve stars.


    But when Jonas saw Erin insert the seventh bug star into the sniper, his eyes widened involuntarily.


    Erin''s fourth form only required six stars, but once that number was exceeded, it meant that Erin did not intend to waste any time from the beginning, and had decided to activate the strongest fifth form, to fight to the death!


    "Master, Is this guy really so powerful? To think you''re considering using the fifth form that you''ve never used before in battle. I can''t believe it! If this guy is so powerful, why would he bother having a conflict with a small family like ours?"


    At that moment, Jonas'' mental defenses and his so-called pride and dignity had copsed, because even someone at Erin''s level had to go all out. It was ridiculous for him to think that Wilbur only killed his father out of luck.


    Looking at Jonas'' expression of despair, Erin installed thest star into the firearm and spoke indifferently, "Jonas, if it weren''t for the fact that you''re Tammy''s brother, I wouldn''t even want to have any dealings with a notorious family like yours. Your fathermitted so many sins for his own selfish interests that can''t even be cleansed in a few decades! The river of time may wash everything away, but as long as the descendants of those innocents who were killed remain, then the deep-seated hatred will never be forgotten. It will be settled eventually."
