"You are crazy, old buddy," Ande was taken aback: "You're not a Combat Artisan."
"But I am the Chairman of the Artisan Association," Phales said confidently, "At least for now, they won't dare to touch me."
But before he finished his sentence.
Everyone suddenly heard a peculiar muffled sound from a distance.
They turned around just in time to see a flash of fire erupting from an 'Iron Curtain' construct in that direction, with cannons on both sides firing in succession. Solid cannonballs came whistling, visibly growing larger as they approached.
Without thinking, Fang Hong swiped downwards with his right hand.
A giant statue descended from the sky.
Amidst the billowing dust, the Orphen Twins Stars raised the Giant Shield, protecting everyone behind it. Two successive clangs sounded, as the cannonballs struck the shield and were deflected to the sides.
"Holy cow!"
The livestream audience nearly rioted.
"What is that!?"
