At that critical moment, a hidden weapon silently sliced through the air with stealth and precision.
Clang!
The sudden projectile struck Parkhurst's dagger, causing it to vibrate and nearly slip from his grasp. The impact forced Parkhurst to stumble backward, regaining his balance after a few steps. His face contorted in shock as he slowly turned his head towards the source of the hidden weapon. In the darkness of the night, atop the towering canyon, stood a figure tall and upright.
The night breeze blew, causing the man's military coat to flutter and rustle. Leopold, who had narrowly escaped death at the gates of the underworld, opened his eyes and followed Parkhurst's gaze, filled with astonishment. As one of the top elite humans, he could see clearly even in the Eternal Darkness without the aid of any night vision devices. Upon seeing the tall figure standing atop the canyon, he couldn't help but utter in a low voice, exclaiming, “Commander Cross!” It turned out that the man standing atop the canyon was none other than Nathan.
The person who had come to Leopold's rescue was indeed Nathan. Nathan, who had been ten kilometers away, heard the sound of gunfire emanating from Hellfire Canyon. He knew without a doubt that Leopold must have engaged in a battle with the vampires. He ordered Colin and the others to lead the troops forward while he rushed ahead alone at the fastest speed to provide support.
His timely arrival proved to be fruitful as he witnessed Leopold on the verge of falling under Parkhurst's dagger, prompting him to swiftly intervene. Standing atop the canyon, Nathan gazed down from a commanding position, his expression cold and indifferent as he observed Parkhurst. Parkhurst and the elite vampires behind him also sensed the arrival of an elite human.
