Facing the incoming thousands of soul energy projectiles the humanoid figure did not take a step back instead she took a step forward and dashed toward the thousands of energy projectiles aimed at her. 

"Is she crazy?" Jill immediately identified the humanoid figure in black as Arnas, though they have only met on occasions as an expert card creationist and array master Jill immediately recognized Arnas's soul energy signature. 

Jill wasn't the only one to believe Arnas was crazy to rush towards the endless energy projectiles others did too. They all knew Arnas was planning to evade the attack however the tactic she was using might have worked if the number of projectiles aimed at her were in the tens or even hundreds. 

However, the projectiles aimed at Arnas were in the thousands. Together they had formed a net of attacks that Arnas could never evade by dashing into it. 

Nonetheless, Arnas proved them all wrong, as her nimble figure flashed between the soul energy projectiles narrowly escaping them and making it past the barrage of projectiles aimed at her by managing to evade every one of them by hairs breath with insane precision and displaying incredible agility. 

"Fuck!" cussed the leader of team one aloud witnessing the humanoid in the black pull off what he believed to be impossible for her mostly because it was impossible even for someone as skilled as him. 

Seeing this both team one and Ann realized that the mission of safeguarding the boy was going to be more challenging than they had thought. 

After all, just one enemy unit was able to destroy their city array formation while dodging the attacks of thousands of cannons of the two hundred and fifty 120-meter high turrets.

If the enemy forces had a few more units as capable as this one then the situation would be more dangerous than they had estimated. 

Dodging the attacks of the turrets the humanoid figure hovered in the air, its gaze locked with Ann's who did not order the turrets to continue firing knowing that it would only be a waste of resources seeing the capabilities displayed by the enemy. 

"Southern Emperor, what do we do next?" the leader of team one asked Ann, feeling that there were only three possible courses of action for them. 

Should they continue to proceed toward the interview venue or should they retreat to royal palace grounds? Or do they engage the enemy? 

The leader of team one personally preferred to face the enemy unit alone but being duty-bound he believed it would be best if they ditched the chariot and team one carried the three passengers back to the palace grounds at an incredible speed. 

"All teams, are there any suspicious activities by the perimeter?" Ann immediately contacted other teams feeling that the enemy in black was waiting for something. 

"Team two, reporting. Perimeter clear, no hostile detected." 

"Team three, reporting. Perimeter clear, no hostile detected."

"Team four, reporting. Perimeter clear, no hostile detected."

.

.

"Team fifteen, reporting. Perimeter clear, no hostile detected."

"This can't be right," Ann mumbled as it seemed far-fetched for the enemy forces to send just one person to complete their mission no matter how capable they were. 

Therefore, Ann immediately used her grimoire to order the 250 turrets to secure the city perimeter instead of aiming at the single hostile in black, "All turrets secure city perimeter." 

The cannons of all the turrets moved to monitor the borders of the city on land and air. Soon after, Ann contacted the teams and ordered, "Team two, engage the hostile." 

*Sigh* team one leader sighed listening to Ann assign team two the task of engaging the hostile. Getting over it he asked Ann, "Southern Emperor, retreat to royal palace grounds?" 

Ann did not immediately answer the leader of team one instead turned to look at the boy for his decision, this action of Ann caused the members of team one to frown their brows. 

When all eyes were focused on the boy, he was lost in his thoughts. This caused the dissatisfaction of team one to grow further into impatience but before their leader could complain they all saw the boy's body suddenly start to vibrate uncontrollably then they witnessed something incredible. 

…

While everyone witnessed the humanoid in black dodge every last one of the thousands of energy projectiles aimed at her with insane precision displaying extreme evasion skills the boy saw something entirely different. 

When faced with incoming thousands of soul energy projectiles the boy saw the humanoid in black suddenly emit a noise though it was not audible to others just like the noise she previously emitted it had a different frequency to it. 

The thing about this noise was that it was fast and continuous, giving the impression that it was filling the area like water filling the glass. 

The range of this noise was very long, it went past soul energy projectiles aimed at the humanoid. The sound waves of the noise that contacted the energy projectiles reflected to the humanoid figure and the rest made it past the projectiles. 

Allowing the humanoid to track the movement of all thousands of soul energy projectiles aimed at it at once in real-time. 

The humanoid was using the noise it was emitting as a sonar to map the trajectory and progress of all thousands of the soul energy projectiles. 

Using this data the humanoid used its incredible physical and evasion capabilities to dodge all thousands of the soul energy pathways and make it past them without a single scratch. 

Though the humanoid made use of a trick similar to sonar to help it dodge the barrage of attacks aimed at it, this in no way undermined the feat the humanoid had managed to pull off because the calculation it would take to do something this while physically following the calculations with insane precision showed that the humanoid was every bit skilled as the audience thought and even more. 

Watching the humanoid in action with his special eyes the boy had a sudden epiphany.
