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.

I take the chance and blast more air bullets at Anthony while closing the distance. But right before my eyes, Anthony disappears. Invisibility…
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuWB2l4z0B
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1kLMZNNVe
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.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFkm44MpP3
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThjv11PQaD
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.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesIvvGtzP2
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3082ctqu9u
Is this shield even necessary? My arms buckle and that’s when I hear a crack in the shield.

Tallow: “GAAH!”

I summon fireballs and delayed air bullets. Some are illusions and others are real. I ignore my nose bleed and fire them at Anthony.

Anthony: “I know the fireballs are illusions, try again.”

The fireballs phase through while the air bullets are blasted out of the sky by lightning.

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.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpllIsmjSSd
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEh0a22FQp
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.
