But Tianlan clearly disagreed with him. The young girl pulled out her dagger and handed it to him, saying, "Brother Ade, all I want is for you to protect me." She glared at Luo Yu and Gita, "Tsch, I certainly don't lack backbone like some people!"

As for the latter two, they acted as if they hadn't heard a thing.

"All trainees, gather in the middle of the team," Wu Di then said, "I'll cover the rear. If necessary, you can leave me behind. Liuli Yue, you and Miss Red Leaf will take the lead. Lady Atira—" he turned his head—"do you still have Starlight?"

The elf girl nodded slowly.

"Then please support me," he said.

Wu Di then looked at Fang Hong, "Can you still hold on?" Being a Combat Artisan himself, he knew all too well how draining it was to control a fairy. In fact, it was quite a surprise to him that Fang Hong could control a fairy at all.

Fang Hong remained silent for a moment.

Then, he suddenly lifted his head and said, "Wu Di, Liuli Yue, and Miss Red Leaf, I have a small request. I hope you can cooperate with me in combat—"

"A request?"

"Cooperate with you in combat?" Everyone was stunned.

"Ade—you're called Ade, right? What do you mean by that?" Wu Di asked.

"It's nothing," Fang Hong replied, "for now, please take out all the spare Constructs."

"What kind of nonsense are you talking about?" Liuli Yue couldn't help but curse, "At a time like this, can you stop joking around?"

But Fang Hong only gave him a look, and he shut his mouth.

That was because Fang Hong didn't argue with him. Instead, he placed the fairy doll he had been holding onto the ground, and whispered in his heart, "Miss Tata, it's up to you now."

"I understand, Mr. Knight," Tata whispered back.

Fang Hong carefully let go.

A pale blue screen of light slowly unfolded before his eyes.

And in the eyes of everyone watching, a sleeping lady was awakening—the doll girl slowly opened her eyes, her long mithril lashes fluttering gently.

And within the slightly opened pupils, what shone was not the pale blue fire of magic power.

It was a Silver Sea.

Hilveld's suitcase 'clunked' to the ground, the young girl yet unaware. The maid behind her also slightly widened her violet eyes, curiously watching this unfold.

"This is..."

"An Artificial Dragon Soul?"

As for the others, apart from Miss Red Leaf, who had previously seen Fang Hong's fairy doll and was slightly puzzled, none noticed anything abnormal at the moment. But they were keenly aware that something had changed.

The difference was that the doll girl's movements were incredibly graceful—

The Fairy Doll took two steps forward with a 'tippity-tap' of her round-toed leather shoes, her silver hair trailing all the way to the ground, swishing elegantly as she turned half-around.

She looked at everyone, including Fang Hong.

Then she raised the hem of her dress and curtseyed slightly to Fang Hong.

The scene was like an elegant princess inviting her knight to the dance floor, leaving everyone spellbound.

Red Leaf glanced at the doll girl, then at Fang Hong beside her—next to her, Gita also opened his mouth slightly in surprise. Tianlan, seeing this scene, couldn't help covering her mouth, her eyes practically shining.

Fang Hong reached out his hand, and Tata stepped onto his palm.

The two looked into each other's pristine crystal-like eyes, and with just a gentle push of his hand,

The doll girl floated in the air—

She spun in midair, her dress fluttering up with every turn. The silver hair danced, and a silver glow spread from every page of her dress and strands of hair, forming a network that encompassed Fang Hong, Hudi, Miss Red Leaf, Liuli Yue, and Wu Di all at once.

Then it continued to spread, connecting all of their Flexible Constructs.

At the same time.

There was silence.

At that moment, the Dragonmen charged at them, targeting the still dazed Hilveld—while the Annihilator next to Red Leaf, without waiting for any command, automatically pivoted inwards, unfolding its metal plates, and a golden-red beam pierced through the Dragonman.

Reducing it to dust.

"The Complete Fairy!"

Liuli Yue screamed almost as if he'd seen a ghost.

Miss Red Leaf wasn't any less shocked, "My... my... both Annihilators have been... fully managed?"

Amongst the group, only Wu Di quickly grasped the situation.

Without any superfluous words, he turned, raised his right hand, "Everyone, release all spare Constructs!"

"Follow my command—begin breakout combat!"
