The bell was ringing violently in the military camp. The commander raised his head while the rest of the officers frowned.

"This is…" One of the officers sucked a cold breath.

"We are getting attacked!"

All officers immediately dropped everything and rushed out of the tent, watching a lot of soldiers moving toward the east.

"Gather on the east." The commander shouted as he also headed to the east.

It was there he found clouds of dust approaching their camp. The commander's expression turned grim. "How many are there? 300 or 400 aliens?"

The commander's expression turned grim as he shouted, "Prepare for an attack. Stand by the wall!"

They had closed the wooden gates and put boulders behind it to block the aliens. Meanwhile, the rest of the soldiers headed to the wall, fully aware they had to fight these aliens.

It was precisely because of this reason that the commander couldn't send any help to Nathan and the others. In fact, it wasn't like Nathan could get the help he wanted.

"We shouldn't be far from the source of that sound," said David as they ran as fast as possible with the aliens on their tail.

Nathan nodded. In fact, David was saying the truth because Fenrir could see an opening not far from it. "A plain field?"

Nathan only glanced at him without giving any reactions, but he knew what it meant. Once the field opened up, they noticed something off. In front of them was the same wood they were in a moment ago. The left and right sides were the only things that expanded.

In fact, the soil was tilted downward as if something heavy had just passed this area, bulldozing everything in its path.

"What's that?" David dropped his jaw to the ground.

"!!!" Nathan and Selena turned their heads, looking at a moving hill. An entire hill.

Selena soon regained her composure, as she immediately turned around and used her power to blast the aliens behind them.

*Bam!*

The loud explosion sound snapped David and Nathan back to reality.

"That's right. Chase after it first. We can think about it while running!" Nathan shouted.

David's body shook, but it was certainly what they needed to do. It would be better if they could confirm what kind of alien this was. If needed, they could use the woods to disappear once again.

While running, Nathan observed the alien.

At first glance, the alien looked like a turtle, but it only had the front legs to drag its entire body. The back legs were replaced by tentacles.

The trees seemed to be living on its back, camouflaging it as a normal hill. But if they took a closer look, they would notice that a lot of aliens were living on top of this massive alien.

They were smaller aliens that looked normal at first, but when Nathan scanned it even further, he noticed a disturbing fact.

"I could see smaller aliens like a bug. Wait, no. I spotted a human on top of it," said Fenrir. "Are there even smaller aliens whose purpose is to control the humans?"

"I haven't seen anything like that. I don't think there is a record about that kind of alien. If this is true, we have to report this matter to the higher ups. The battle will become much more complicated," explained David.

"It doesn't matter. Now that we have confirmed what kind of alien we're dealing with, we should leave this area as quickly as possible." Nathan shook his head. This kind of mature class alien would be hard to kill. He didn't know whether the mature class alien produced these smaller aliens, but one thing was clear.

They had to survive if they wanted to report it.

"Selena, Risa—" When Nathan was about to order them, he heard screams from the opposite side. He turned his head around.

"This is getting bad." Fenrir's expression turned grim. "400? 500? There are a lot of aliens coming from our left. The right one is filled as well. I'm afraid that both of them will encircle us.

We won't be able to escape at this rate, especially with that huge alien in front of us."

Both Nathan and Selena knew they couldn't deal with the mature class alien, so their best shot was to escape to the left.

However, for one reason or another, there were aliens coming from that direction.

There was no way they could break through hundreds of aliens by themselves.

"Esteemed summoners. Please leave me behind. If you don't need to protect me, you should have a higher chance to survive." David had made his resolve.

As a human, he definitely didn't want to die. However, as a soldier, he had his duty to ensure the survival of humanity, including sacrificing his life for summoners who had the strength to fight the aliens.

Before Nathan could reply, an alien from the left suddenly cut down several trees as it showed its appearance.

"Huh? That's…" David gasped, recognizing that face. It was the guy they hadn't investigated. "He was actually an alien?"

It was probably because of the time, but the alien had transformed the human body even further.

The eyes were replaced by tentacles scanning everything in front, and the back of its head had been punctured by multiple tentacles. His spine was replaced by something squishy that made the body able to tilt its body to an 'S' shape. It couldn't be called a human body anymore.

As if knowing it was time to counterattack, the mutant that had disappeared earlier finally returned, cutting all the trees on its way.

"!!!" Selena gulped down. "We have been surrounded."

They had been trapped in the middle of a triangle with the two mutants and the mature class alien protecting each corner.

It was at this time Nathan realized they had outsmarted him. There was one more thing that made the entire situation even scarier.

"Don't tell me. These aliens… no, symbiotes are consuming humans' brains to learn about us?" Nathan's expression turned grim. He might realize it a bit too late since he might not be able to escape from this place anymore.
