Jason whispered softly.


    The night wind came gently.


    In the darkness, a series of invisible figures silently approached Jason.


    Cloaked and masked, carrying either a Bowl de, a spear, or darts, their agile figures were orderly and resembled a pack of wolves closing in on their prey.


    Seeing theirrades hanging from the branches, a tangible ferocity and murderous intent appeared in their eyes.


    Without hesitation, the scout armed with darts began the attack!


    Whoosh, whoosh whoosh!


    The circr spinning darts sliced through the air.


    The sound was like a starter’s pistol.


    Surrounding him were more than a dozen scouts charging at Jason.


    Bowl des and spears aimed directly at Jason’s vital points.


    Jason was almost instantly engulfed in the encirclement.


    "Jason!"


    Cortana instinctively cried out in rm, then, by instinct, she raised her gun, wanting to support Jason.


    But at that moment, a thick fog rolled in!


    "Mist Concealment"!


    A 45-meter radius of fog enveloped the surroundings, hiding Jason and the scouts within.


    Cortana put down her gun in shock.


    She watched the dense fog in the distance, listening to the sound of metal des cutting through flesh that came incessantly from within, her eyes full of worry.


    She did not know whether those sounds were made by the invaders or by Jason.


    Her two subordinates also watched intently.


    However, both were prepared for the worst.


    After all, those were ten scouts!


    Even if Jason could fight one with his bare hands, what about ten?


    They would probably meet a gruesome end! Find exclusive stories on NovelBin.C?m


    They couldn’t help but think this.


    As for Jason’s ’immortality’?


    They had seen the files, but having already dealt with the ’Mystical Side’, they didn’t believe Jason truly was ’immortal’.


    That must involve borate rituals and the consumption of many materials to achieve.


    To aplish it once would be quite impressive.


    Twice?


    In their view, that’s enough to bemendable.


    @@novelbin@@


    But more?


    They were in the dark about that.


    One thing they were sure of, though, was that immortality wasn’t as simple as eating.


    The two subordinates exchanged nces.


    One gripped arge-caliber submachine gun, while the other held the steering wheel tight.


    If anything went wrong, they nned to leave.


    Not because they were afraid to die.


    But because they had a secret order from headquarters to bring back Cortana in times of crisis, even at the cost of their lives!


    As soldiers, they weremitted to aplishing their mission to the death.


    The fog gradually dissipated.


    They watched, and the next moment, both of them widened their eyes in disbelief.


    What did they see?


    Bodies of scouts piled up, with Jason sitting atop them, the cold moonlight shining on his mask, reflecting a hint of red from below.


    All ten scouts were dead?


    Just like that?


    How did Jason do it?


    Confusion mixed with shock filled the minds of Avery and ude.


    But not Cortana’s.


    She too was shocked, but even more, she was pleasantly surprised.


    Thisdy watched Jason sitting atop the invaders’ bodies, the brilliance in her eyes that had just faded sparked anew, along with a very unfamiliar emotion.


    It was an emotion mixed with admiration for a strong person, yet slightly different.


    She stared nkly as Jason suddenly raised his Broad de Cleaver in hand, pointing at a spot.


    Crackle, crackle.


    Amid the buzzing of electricity, an invader, simr to the scouts but hidden under a cloak, was revealed.


    Unlike ordinary scouts, this invader was more robust and armored on the upper body.


    "Assaulter!"


    "Why is there an Assaulter here?"


    Cortana’s face changed instantly when the invader appeared.


    The Assaulter was the main force of the Sabie Aliens in frontal battles against human forces, each one being strong and well-equipped. Engaging inbat with one required a fully armed team of 30 to stand a chance at killing one.


    But more often, against an Assaulter, most human warriors preferred a suicidal strategy.


    That’s because these Assaulters never acted alone; they would lead a team of hundreds of Sabie soldiers.


    However, Assaulters had only been seen on the front line, never on the ground.


    This was the first time Cortana had seen an Assaulter on the ground.


    "Jason, be careful, it’s an Assaulter..."


    Humm!


    Cortana warned Jason, but before she could finish, the Assaulter’s shoulder-mounted mini-cannon locked onto her, a weapon fully integrated into the armor, capable of auto-targeting and enormously powerful.


    Three redser dots locked directly onto the vehicle carrying Cortana and her team.


    The next moment, a beam shot from the cannon like a meteor in flight.


    Boom!


    The bulletproof vehicle, modified to resist gunfire, was sted into the air.


    Upon hearing the charging sound from the cannon, Cortana and her two subordinates scurried out of the vehicle. Now the wreckage fell from midair,nding heavily in front of them.


    Their expressions varied.


    Cortana looked worriedly at Jason.


    Avery and ude instinctively positioned themselves in front of Cortana, exchanging looks.


    Jason’s defeat of ten scouts genuinely surprised them.


    But an Assaulter was different!


    An Assaulter was not something ten scouts could measure up to.


    Itsrge frame, Proficient use of weapons, capable of easily killing any scout, and the lethal shoulder cannon could turn even more scouts to mere cannon fodder.
