Thud! Thud! Thud! ...
Throughout the building, the sounds of fierce fighting, accompanied by booming and explosions, rose and fell.
Even when Lorraine and Azure joined forces, they were no match for the mere nun, Qi Gan Te.
Lorraine's firearms were useless against her; her near-terrifying physical defenses allowed Sister Gigantes to withstand armor-piercing rockets and close-range shrapnel damage from grenades with her bare body.
Because Azure's magic power was nearly depleted, she was unable to unleash her full strength in battle, and all her skills were in a state of having no mana.
therefore……
The battle between the two and Sister Chigan was extremely fierce, almost entirely a hand-to-hand fight.
——
boom!!!
A massive explosion engulfed the entire floor once again; it was Lorraine who had dropped a heavy bomb.
He happened to fly out again on his Azure mount just three seconds before the explosion.
However……
Even the aftershocks of the explosion could shake the entire building to the point of collapse, but when Sister Chigante also flew out, Lorraine was so angry that she almost ground her teeth to powder. This woman was simply a superhero!
The explosive charge, weighing over ten kilograms, exploded right next to her face without causing her any harm whatsoever.
No, this woman's clothes were blown to smithereens.
but.
In the face of life and death, Lorraine didn't care about any of that, because he was racking his brains the whole time, thinking about how to kill this woman!
"Azure, how much magic do you have left?"
"It's almost depleted. I'm sorry, Lorraine. I'm already doing my best just to maintain the ice sword."
"Damn it, if this continues, we'll all die here."
"What should we do? These despicable women! If they hadn't used their tricks and schemes to deplete almost all of our magic, dealing with them wouldn't have been so difficult!"
"At this point, we have no choice but to retreat."
"What? Retreat? What about the city?"
"As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood. If we are all defeated here, who can we rely on to save this city? If we don't retreat now, we will surely be defeated. If we retreat now, we will come back tomorrow or the day after. We can take back the city we have lost!"
"But--"
"There's no time! She's definitely not the only enemy. If they form another encirclement, we're all doomed!!!"
Choose to abandon the city.
Lorraine was also heartbroken. He had so many acquaintances and friends in this city, and countless friendly faces, all of whom he remembered.
But he can't fall here.
If they fail and the city falls, what awaits everyone... will be endless darkness and despair!
...
"retreat!"
Just as Lorraine finally made up her mind to make a strategic retreat, a long whip suddenly and unexpectedly attacked from behind the two of them.
"Danger!!!"
Just as Lorraine noticed the surprise attack, he didn't have time to think. He instinctively bent down and hugged Azure, preparing to use his own body to shield her from the fatal attack.
*Smack!*
A heartbreaking crack of whipping suddenly rang out.
That was the sound of Lorraine's back being torn open!
"Lorraine!!!"
Seeing this scene, Bilan's heart almost broke.
The two were sent flying by the force of the whip, crashing together onto the rooftop of a building.
"Ugh—"
The sound of enduring pain rang out from Lorraine's mouth.
Azure scrambled to her feet and helped the injured Lorraine to her feet. Seeing the bloody wound on Lorraine's back, the one she had shielded from the attack, Azure felt as if her world was collapsing. Tears welled up instantly. "Lorraine! Lorraine! I'm so sorry… why did you take that hit for me? You're just an ordinary person! I'm a magical girl! You should have used me to block the attack! Are you stupid?!"
It took Lorraine several seconds to recover before she looked at the tearful Bilan and reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
He forced a smile and answered.
“I’ve said it before, you risked your life to help me, and I’ll risk my life to protect you in return. How could I willingly push you out to take the hit? I’m too heartbroken to even think about it.”
"Idiot! Idiot! You're such a huge idiot!!! Waaah, it must hurt so much, there's blood all over your back."
"It's okay, you won't die."
"It's all my fault, I failed to protect you."
"There's no time left, retreat! We're surrounded! Even if you're the only one who escapes, it'll be good! Retreat! Retreat to find Magia Evil, find the Panther Armor, find Nero Alice, find their help!"
"No way, I would never abandon you!"
"You can't escape with me in your arms! Your magic is almost gone. Use all your magic to increase your speed. You can do it! Now's the time to run! I'll hold them off! I'll hold them off! Run!!!"
Lorraine shoved Azure away, but Azure, with tears in her eyes, couldn't bring herself to abandon the person she loved most... and ran away alone like a coward.
And at that very moment.
A strange voice suddenly rang out, "Haha, you don't need to go anywhere, Mr. Lorraine, Magia Azure, the outcome is decided, you have already lost."
