That’s fine I get between the next bolt and block it with my shield. I shoot 4 air bullets behind the shield that chases the fleeing Anthony.

645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xRXBZxHLP
645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUQd2lgXm8
I quickly go back to Black Listers and place a shield over everyone. Everyone fades into silence as we keep our senses sharp for the next blow.
645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pW4HPQeNS
645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77uSnozfsB
But it never comes. Tensions build and I start to lose my strength. I can’t keep this shield up forever. But that’s not all, the thought that Anthony ran crosses my mind.
645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFKHpX9dEp

Is this shield even necessary? My arms buckle and that’s when I hear a crack in the shield.

The two air bullets graze his head but that was enough to knock him out for just a moment. But that’s all I need. I rip away from his hand and form a magic shield bubble around Anthony’s exploding body.

He shocks himself to wake up but it’s much worse than usual. The shield cracks but remains strong enough to contain him. I collapse on my knee while blood streaming from my nose. But I’m not the only one.
