Seeing that the two nodded, I briefly selected the parts that I was paying attention to and described them as completely as possible in terms of appearance and form.
An, who had been lurking in the shadows, also rose halfway up, resting his chin on his crossed arms, frowning in deep thought.
"It's actually a technique that can block even An's slash. This is the first time I've ever heard of such a technique..." Yao said thoughtfully, holding his head and repeatedly tidying up his long hair, then putting it back up. "However, it's obvious that one of the main tendencies of that man's techniques is poison."
"The other one has the effect of sealing off and isolating the inside from the outside, otherwise it would be impossible to explain why Hui could not intervene in the area at the later points in time. Finally, there is the technique for manipulating monsters... Although it is unclear why that monster appeared there, and why it was different from the ones we usually see."
"If we don't know the specifics, it will be much more difficult to develop a targeted countermeasure or pinpoint the exact timing."
“It’s not that it’s impossible!” Lena protested, but quickly looked away. “It’s just that we need more time to prepare.”

Moreover, judging from these statements alone, the members of the cult who believe in this should be ascetics practicing asceticism in the darkness, waiting for the savior, so how could they become fanatical saboteurs?
It's all stuff that's hard to understand.
Putting that aside for now, I discussed with Yao and Lena again how to specifically defend against and counterattack.
But this period of time did not last long.
Just an hour after I returned to the point in time before the incident, we were arguing over a point of doubt.
As the sun gradually emerged from one end of the horizon, casting a faint glow on the small garden's sky, a crisp, shattering sound suddenly rang out.
