Chapter 182: A Blaze of Glory

—

Bastion's resolve and conviction amplified as he tanked the Guardian of the Nothern Sands attacks despite their weight. Even when his feet pierced through the ground from the impacts, Bastion stood upright and pressed back with a throaty growl.

"Combination Skill: Guardian's Bulwark!"

The grand arms wielding a large azure shield with silver edges manifested around Basiton's body. It was the Combination Skill formed back when the team went up against Colossal Mother Worm.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Bastion's Guardian's Bulwark remained stable under the onslaught of the Guardian of Northern Sand's attacks. He claimed he would buy enough time as Alice needed and intended to stay true to his word.

Whoosh!

However, he wasn't alone—not by a long shot.
