Padis, who was huddled inside his turtle shell, felt as if he had been gently moved.

But before Padis could think it through, an extremely strong sense of danger washed over him.

Padis was puzzled. "I didn't stick my head out this time either, so why are you shooting at me again, human?"

The key is...

I'm already holed up in my shell, so how could I possibly have a sense of danger?

Could it be...

Could this attack threaten me, hiding in my turtle shell?

Padis was startled.

Immediately afterwards...

boom!

A loud bang.

Two orbs of light, one black and one yellow, crashed onto Candy Beach at the same time.

Countless flames and lightning instantly covered this ravaged place.

An intense burning sensation from the flames and the numbing sensation from the lightning strike emanated from the tortoise shell.

This caused Paddes to involuntarily tremble twice.

Mimi, who was hiding below Padis, breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't that he couldn't withstand the attack, but rather that the physical burden of withstanding an attack of this magnitude would be too great for Yueyue.

So, Mimi had no choice but to use this old tortoise as a shield.

I must say, the turtle shield is indeed quite effective.

Mimi was relieved that the shield was working well, but Padis, who was the shield, didn't think so. He felt that his shell was about to be burned off.

Are human players really that strong?

Should we let the turtle live or not?

That's right, Padis thought it was a human player attacking him.

Unfortunately, being in a retracted state significantly weakened Padis's perception.

Just as Padis was silently enduring and praying that the humans would tire of shooting.

boom!!

Another loud bang was heard.

A gigantic figure, about ten meters tall, descended from the sky and appeared in the pit, placing one foot on Padis's tortoise shell.

In an instant, Padis was crushed and embedded in the blood-red soil.

That's right, beneath this candy-colored beach lies a body entirely composed of blood-red soil.

Because of Padis's sudden sinking, Mimi below Padis also suffered the same fate, instantly being pressed deeper into the mud by the old tortoise Padis.

This time, Padis finally realized that it wasn't the human who attacked him.

Because the human girl's aura was clearly felt beneath his stomach.

Are they using him as a human shield?

Padis felt like he was about to vomit blood, not from being trampled, but from being angered by the humans.

Just a moment ago we were fighting to the death.

So now you want me to protect you?

I won't...

So, Padis decided to stick his head out to see who the unknown attacker was, hoping to communicate with him and see if there was any possibility of joining forces to deal with the human race.

Just as Padis cautiously poked half his head out...

Suddenly, another strong sense of crisis surged up, startling Paddes so much that he quickly pulled his head back.

Paddes was helpless; the sense of crisis he felt today was exceptionally strong.

Then, Padis, who had retreated back into his shell, watched helplessly as a large sword slashed down from the spot where he had just poked his head out.

The sharp teeth and claws growing from the blade of the greatsword made Padis break out in a cold sweat.

What the hell is this thing?

Could it be...?

Are they native inhabitants of Neptune?

There's something wrong with this match. How can a local player be more aggressive than the competitors? Are they even letting the competitors compete normally?

It's impossible to encounter the final boss of the competition right from the start, right?

Padis, who had narrowly escaped the beheading blow, was filled with resentment.

It's one thing for the human players to bully him, but how come even the natives of Neptune Star can bully him?

Just as Padis was feeling angry and cold.

Bang!

A loud bang was heard.

Padis felt his tortoise shell suddenly tremble, causing his entire body to shake violently.

Not only that, Mimi, who was beneath Padis's body, also felt a violent vibration coming from the turtle shell.

Mimi couldn't help but worry. Would this old tortoise not be able to hold on?

Padis felt he was indeed struggling to withstand the attack. He couldn't tell whether the turtle shell was damaged from that blow.

All Paddes knew was that he had almost coughed up blood from that blow.

He had to find a way to escape. He had expected the humans to be fierce, but the natives were far more ferocious than he had anticipated. This couldn't go on any longer.

However, before Paddes could react.

Clang! Clang! Clang...

One loud bang after another came from Padis's tortoise shell.

From a distance, one can see a huge figure surrounded by two clouds, one black and one yellow.

He held a huge longsword in his hand, the sword covered with sharp teeth and fangs, as if it could devour the flesh of his opponent with a single strike.

At this moment, the figure had one foot on Padis's tortoise shell, stabilizing Padis's body.

Then, using his large sword, he chopped down at Padis's tortoise shell again and again, without tiring.

Now, Paddis inside the turtle shell and Mimi underneath it are truly in deep trouble.

A jolt...

Three earthquakes...

Seven shocks...

...

Paddes felt like he was being shaken to the point of collapse. His head was spinning, and he knew that if this continued, he would definitely die.

So, Paddes gritted his teeth and decided to use the last resort to escape.

Below Padis, Mimi, who was also experiencing constant shaking, felt that things couldn't continue like this.
