By the time Kanna was discovered, she had already charged into the crowd.
Cooperating with the clone formed by the Electro Seed, Kanna and the clone simultaneously unleashed Thunderclap Formation. In an instant, a massive bolt of lightning descended from the sky, directly burning a huge, charred hole in the middle of the white mass.
The commotion here naturally didn't escape the Rhodes Island group, who hadn't gone far. After seeing the lightning pillar, dozens of meters thick, falling from the sky, the Shieldguards and Mudrock's squad members, who had been worried about being pursued, couldn't help but swallow.
As for the Rhodes Island Operators, they just glanced at it and continued forward expressionlessly. After all, given Kanna's combat power, that exaggerated lightning pillar was 100% her doing.
Amiya and others, who understood Kanna's arts, looked back with pity and discomfort. Although Kanna's art had a range of nearly a hundred meters, according to her, it was actually a close-range art. This meant that if the enemy was hit, and with such immense damage, it could only be a group of people gathered together, and Kanna had to be right in their faces.
Under such an attack, even ACE, who called himself the Shield of Rhodes Island, admitted he couldn't withstand it. After all, no matter how strong he was, he was just one person. If Kanna's art was aimed at him alone, he might be able to endure it with his powerful physique, but if there were many people, and this art was amplified to its extreme, then he could at most ensure that he'd be left with a complete corpse after one round of bombardment.
W, on the other side of the river, was one of the people who had survived after witnessing this move at close range while moving towards the bridge.
In that instant, she felt as if she had seen light... Just one curious glance back, and a blinding white light that almost made her eyes go blind filled her entire vision, followed by enjoying the roar of thunder at extremely close range.
Under the immense sound and light, her vestibular control suffered significant damage. After stumbling a few steps, she plopped down by the river in a duck-sit position, feeling dizzy.
As a gust of wind blew, after completely annihilating the group of pursuers, Kanna jumped to the other side of the river.
Initially, she had only thought that it would be too far for W to detour. Since she could take her across the river quickly, there was no need to go around.
But when she arrived, she saw W sitting on the ground, holding her head, looking dizzy.
"Click, click!" Encountering such a scene, Kanna casually picked up her recording terminal and took a few photos.
A moment later, a voice from the Doctor came from the communication terminal, "Awesome!" And Amiya sent "..."
It was then that Kanna remembered that while the combat recording terminal could take photos, it wasn't a phone. Every self-taken photo would be sent to the command and also transmitted back to Priestess at Rhodes Island for recording.
Because self-taken photos by personnel outside could include important information such as encountered enemies and current situations. Even if Kal'tsit wanted to delete them, it would require the joint consent of Amiya, the person who recorded it, and the combat commander at the time.
Evidently, the moment her photos were taken, W's appearance was transmitted to the current commander, the Doctor, the leader Amiya, and Rhodes Island, hundreds of miles away.
"Woohoo!" Now, she wondered what Empress Dowager Kal'tsit at Rhodes Island would think when she saw this image... Kanna rolled her eyes and replied, "Accident, operational error! All operational errors!"
Finding W still unconscious, Kanna immediately put away the recording terminal, then lifted W onto her head and jumped back to the other side.
As for why she carried her on her head instead of on her back, it was due to the size difference. Kanna wanted to, but she couldn't... After returning to this side, W, who had been carried on Kanna's head for several hundred meters, rubbed her head and finally woke up.
At this moment, she felt dizzy, her kidneys ached terribly, and something seemed to be pressing against her chest.
Looking down, she saw Kanna holding her chest with both small hands, her two dragon horns tucked into W's waist, and, completely disregarding W's injuries and inability to resist, she skipped and hopped towards Rhodes Island's position. W's two thighs bounced up and down behind her with each of Kanna's steps, looking incredibly comical.
She immediately reached out and patted Kanna's head, making Kanna put her down.
After all, she was a veteran mercenary who had gone in and out of battle seven times; being carried back to the team by a little kid like this would be utterly humiliating.
Besides, if Rhodes Island saw Kanna carrying her like that, she would have to flee Terra and start a new life on another planet.
Kanna immediately lowered W from her head.
W rubbed her head, "I say, I saw your clone use that move back in Chernobog, and it didn't seem this exaggerated then?"
Just after Scout killed Garrison and retreated from the city, she had been observing from a distance, curious how these Rhodes Island people could pass through her defensive zone so smoothly without prior reconnaissance.
Then she saw the clones they threw out during their retreat, and she was surprised by the combat power of those strange clones. After all, the Sarkaz mercenaries who came to support Reunion Movement this time were all skilled fighters, easily capable of clearing out a village or town elsewhere.
Yet, with such combat power, when pursuing enemies far weaker than themselves, they were almost routed by those mysterious clones.
It was fortunate that Hreid and Ines, who had pursued them, had sufficient organizational skills and strength to suppress the mercenaries' fear, preventing the Sarkaz mercenary team from falling apart.
But at that time, she had become curious about this magical thing Rhodes Island used.
However, Electro Seeds, being consumables, dissipated directly after their time was up, leaving no residue for W to study. This time, she finally got to use one, and it almost got her killed.
"Of course, you know that thing is a clone. How could a clone have the same strength as my main body..."
Kanna nodded, unfazed by this.
Recalling the clone's combat power, W looked at the seemingly harmless little girl with even more disbelief.
"Tsk! Where did Rhodes Island find a little monster like you..."
W didn't hold back, "praising" Kanna after getting back on her feet.
"Hehe! It must be fate!" Kanna recalled the various incidents she caused when she first arrived at Rhodes Island, revealing a simple, honest smile.
"Alright! With you around, it seems the Doctor's life isn't meant to end!" W patted the dust off herself and sighed, looking towards Rhodes Island's position. "But I can't go back to Kazdel for now, so I'll stay at Rhodes Island for a few days!"
