Bab 179: Drexel's Moment

Arix's vision started to blur; she had lost track of how many insectoids she had taken down. Gasping for breath, she glanced over at Drexel, who looked just as exhausted. She clenched her fists and pressed on. She knew she couldn't afford to collapse. If she did, her brother and Zephyr would be left to fend off the swarm alone, making victory for the Alliance mecha team seem almost impossible.

Another Empire mecha team member fell after a few intense moments.

However, the relief was short-lived as Zephyr also went down, leaving only Drexel and a barely-standing Arix still in the fight.

"Arix, don't push yourself too hard," Drexel urged, noticing her mecha's unsteady movements. He was panting heavily but still in good enough shape to potentially secure their win.

Too tired to respond, Arix simply shook her head and kept moving, cutting down more insectoids.
