Boom!
"Huh?!"
A small explosion erupted right in front of the man as he tried to strike my shoulder with the automatic knife. Though the blast wasnât strong enough to disarm him or prevent the attack entirely, it bought me just enough time.@@novelbin@@
Tap-tap-tap!
"Damn it!"
Using the moment Princess Mezzlen had created, I dodged the manâs swinging blade and dashed towards the rest of the party. He immediately began chasing after me, but there was no way the two men behind me would let him get far.
Clang!
"Where do you think you're going?"
"...You wonât even touch a single finger on Lilith."
With the sound of swords clashing behind me and the reassuring voices of Ethan and the Hero, I carried Mezzlen over to Cerista. Her condition was clearly dire, so healing was the top priority.
"Saintess! Please, start healing her immediately!"
