The moment her words fell, Ben's sense of danger flared. He quickly sent out an order, then moved in front of Elvira. This time, he went all out—his enhanced chitin surged over his body like armor. Six jagged legs burst from his back, enclosing his front like a shield. His hands snapped together, bracing for impact. The shieldbearers leaped forward, raising their shields, while the rest moved to cover their backs.
SLASH!!!
A vertical line split across the egg. A second later, a flood of notifications filled Ben's vision—pain followed, along with a deafening clang.

[Your Krell Scout has perished!]
His six spider-like legs were severed in half. The attack only stopped when it slammed into his chest. Ben's gaze sharpened. His armor regenerated instantly, the pickaxe materializing in his grip as he swung without hesitation.
CLANG!!!
