"Brittle vials are no longer enough, Dim Dim," Alex said. "Time to use our secret weapon!"
"Dim?" Dim Dim blinked in confusion. It tried to recall if they had other secret weapons aside from their brittle vials but couldn't come up with any.
"Did you forget?" Alex asked. "Our secret weapon is calling for reinforcements!"
Alex took out a small round ball from his storage ring and threw it high up above their heads.
A few seconds later, it exploded and left red smoke lingering in the air.
The Elder of the Hartwell Clan had gifted the ring to Alex, and with it came a promise that the latter could use it to ask for help if he was ever in danger.
Although he wasn't truly in danger, the situation was dire enough to need some backup right away.
The sound of something rumbling spread in the city as over two hundred Catkins bulldozed their way in Alex's direction.
Right after seeing the red smoke, they stopped fighting their opponents and immediately rushed over.
