Arknights' Lock of Heaven

amount.

Protect him???

Grani was stunned when she saw this. She had heard about this senior's achievements in Chernobog from seniors like Lin Guang.

He wants me to protect him?

In a real crisis, who will protect whom is anyone's guess...

Grani froze on the spot, unsure of what to do.

Meanwhile, Skadi and Reunion on the other side are about to clash.

"Grani!" Just as Xia Yu reached out to mediate the fight, a surprised voice rang out.

"Great! I found it! I found the treasure!"

With her back to the tense Skadi and Reunion Movement, Krol was laboriously dragging a large box when she poked her head out of a cave and immediately saw Grani standing there dumbfounded.

"It took me so long to drag the whole box out," Coral wiped the sweat from her brow, then noticed Big Bob's very conspicuous armor.

“Mr. Bob,” she exclaimed in surprise, “I’m so glad you’re alright…”

"do not come!"

Upon seeing this, Grani raised his spear and rushed towards Chlor.

As for Skadi's advice to protect Xia Yu, she completely forgot about it.

After all, she was aware of her own limitations, and it was uncertain who would protect whom if the two of them were together.

But now that Chlor has rushed into the arena and is still confused about the situation, she clearly needs more protection.

So Grani took the lead and rushed towards her.

"Tsk," Skadi saw Chlor and instinctively rushed towards her, then saw Grani abandon Xia Yu, so she could only turn back and return to Xia Yu's side.

He absolutely cannot get into trouble.

“Sorry, Coral,” Big Bob said, raising the chainsaw in his hand, “we can’t turn back now.”

Then, with a command, he ordered his men to split into two groups: one to seize the treasure, and the other to follow him and head straight for Xia Yu.

He discovered that Skadi seemed to care a lot about this person, even abandoning Grani's aid during the previous battle and letting her protect that person instead.

This might be something that can be used.

I'm sorry, but for my brothers, I'm willing to use any despicable means.

"Don't even think about it!"

Skadi instantly saw through his plan and turned around to slash Big Bob's chainsaw with her sword.

How terrifying is Skadi's enraged sword strike?

Big Bob watched the blade hurtling towards him and struggled to hold up the chainsaw in front of him.

But at the moment the two weapons clashed, he felt as if he had been hit head-on by a land-based warship.

"Misstep."

In the moment of close combat, Big Bob realized that he had underestimated the infamous jinx before him.

The chainsaw in my hand was rendered unusable instantly, but it didn't break thanks to the excellent materials used in its construction.

But in any case, the chainsaw that's almost bent at a 90-degree angle can probably only be sold as scrap.

And his hands and his entire body, every joint, were creaking under the strain.

Big Bob suspected that if it weren't for his thick armor protecting him, he would probably be crippled or dead by now.

He faced the power of the calamity star for the first time and finally realized just how terrifying it was.

Big Bob was sent flying several meters, and even the Reunion Movement members following behind him were stunned.

The visual impact of this scene is absolutely off the charts.

A girl who was 1.66 meters tall, wielding a huge sword, sent a burly man who was nearly two meters tall and wearing heavy armor flying several meters with a single strike...

"Bob!" The Reunion Movement members panicked.

"I don't know anyone, cough cough," Bob, who had fallen heavily onto the rock wall, coughed as he forced himself to stand up and said, "Ignore her, you're no match for her, we underestimated her."

"Go and grab the person she's protecting!"

Upon hearing this, the Reunion members had no choice but to put aside their worries. The heavy armor and sorcerers moved forward to restrain Skadi, while the remaining soldiers all bypassed her and headed towards Xia Yu.

Even those who had divided their forces to fight Grani were now rushing towards Xia Yu.

For a moment, the field was in complete chaos.

Seeing this, Xia Yu sighed.

I was just enjoying the show when I got caught in the crossfire.

Why does everyone think I'm as weak as a chicken?

Do I really look weak when I stare at this face?

As Xia Yu watched the Reunion Movement members rushing towards her, golden ripples continuously appeared behind her.

"Don't think about it!"

Skadi knocked away another heavily armored enemy with a single sword strike, then turned to rush to Xia Yu's side.

But the next second, the remaining Reunion Movement members charged towards her with reckless abandon.

"..."

"you……"

Skadi adjusted her breathing, her greatsword spinning continuously. The skill she had honed in the ocean tides, the skill that ultimately defeated the gods, was about to reappear in the world.

Just when things were at their most critical, a white-masked figure from the Reunion Movement stumbled into the cave.

What came into his view was the ever-growing golden ripples behind Xia Yu.

He'd seen this trick before.

Just a short time ago, right outside the cave.

The electromagnetic cannon that emerged from the golden ripples annihilated hundreds of bounty hunters with just two shots.

Inside this inescapable cave, his comrades were unknowingly charging toward the dark muzzle of a cannon.

Franco was furious; he couldn't understand why this man dared to fire a cannon in the cave.

But in any case, after the shells are fired, the first to die will be the comrades who are facing the shells directly.

"Everyone, lie down!!!"

With all his might, Franco shouted at his comrades, his voice hoarse, "Get down! It's an electromagnetic cannon!!!"

"No!" Compared to the bewildered Reunion Movement members, Skadi immediately turned around upon hearing this roar and saw the golden ripples spreading behind Xia Yu.

Has he gone mad? This is inside a cave!

Who knows if this cave can withstand this blast?

But Xia Yu's expression remained unchanged, and the ripples behind her continued to expand.

Upon hearing Franco's roar, the Reunion Movement members who had charged at him paused, then rushed towards Xia Yu with even greater fervor.

They recognized Franco's voice, of course.

In order to ensure a smooth retreat after seizing the treasure, the Reunion Movement also arranged for many people to meet them outside.

If they suffer too many losses in the battle with Skadi, the fresh troops outside are their only hope for survival.

They naturally believed Franco; even if they hadn't seen it, he said there was an electromagnetic gun, so it probably was.

Franco wouldn't make such a joke at a time like this.

But since it really exists, we can't stop now.

In such a confined space, if the other side were to free up their hands and fire a single shot, everyone might be doomed.

Although they didn't know why this person dared to fire in such a place, they had seen their share of reckless madmen before.

Then there's only one way: charge straight in and take it down before they fire.

The narrow road meets the brave to win!

Otherwise, everyone here will die!

Seeing that his companions' steps did not stop, but instead became more determined, Franco, with red eyes, raised his knife, shouted, and leaped high from behind, pouncing towards Xia Yu.

Xia Yu sighed as she watched the Reunion Movement members rushing towards her.

Then ripples appeared behind him, and in the blink of an eye, golden ripples filled the entire cave, illuminating the dim cave.

Contrary to expectations, instead of a dark cannon muzzle appearing in the golden ripples, countless even more dazzling chains flew out from it.

Within seconds, everyone froze in place.

From neck to torso, from wrists to ankles, they were all firmly bound by the Heavenly Locks. The scene of their risking their lives just moments before seemed to have been paused.

In the blink of an eye, the more than forty members of the Reunion Movement were subdued by a single, simple move.
