The moment the man finished speaking, Omnis rose to his feet.
"Ruhi," he said, voice low but carrying weight, "come with me." He turned to the group leaders, nodding once. "You all bring your teams, Now."
Ruhi stepped closer, brow furrowed,"Master... is it all good?"
Omnis didn't answer immediately. His eyes flickered not with hesitation. "The power skill of the alien we take down that's mine. The rest of the power points? Split them however you like."
"But Master," Ruhi pressed, "which alien?"
Omnis gave no reply. He simply turned to the man and said, "Lead the way."
When the group leaders had gathered their units boots scuffing dust, weapons shifting in hands they moved out together, a single shadow slipping from the shelter into the open.
Two days of relentless walking brought them to a field that looked like it had been torn from the heart of the Blood-snow Desert pale, crimson-streaked, endless. The sky hung low, the air thick with silence. Even after two more days of trudging, the land showed no end.
How vast is this place? Omnis thought, his boots sinking slightly into the strange, powdery ground.
Then, without warning, the man halted. He raised a trembling hand and pointing toward a distant mountain, jagged and dark against the sky.
"Is it there?" Omnis asked, voice barely above a whisper.
"Yes," the man replied, throat tight. "It's there. But… the danger, it's greater than you think."
Omnis glanced at the group leaders, then spoke with quiet authority. "Your job is simple — distract it. Ruhi and I will handle the rest. And for your trouble? You'll get 75 to 80 percent of its meat. Split it however you wish."
Ruhi nocked an arrow, eyes narrowing. "Master, should I just shoot from here?"
"No" Omnis shook his head,"We move closer. First, we find its weakness. Then we strike."
He divided the group into six smaller units. "EREM formation," he ordered,"Now"
They moved as one silent, precise until they stood at the edge of the alien's territory. Omnis raised his hand.
In an instant, the six groups snapped into position spreading out, encircling, vanishing into the terrain like ghosts.
He moved and activated his Red Eye Speed.
What happened next defied the eye. In less than a minute — sixty seconds he circled the alien twenty-three times, a blur of motion that left no trace, sound,and any kind of clue. To those watching, it was as if the world had blinked.
But the alien saw and in Mid-circle, it lashed out a strike so fast, it tore the air itself. Omnis twisted barely and escaped by inches.
But in that split second, he saw everything.
It's fast and faster than anything I've faced. And its skin… it was too tough.
Ruhi and the others stood frozen at a distance, breath held until Omnis came sprinting back, dust swirling behind him. He didn't speak. Just raised his one hand with a sharp gesture. And in that silence, they all understood about what to do.
