467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoAh14tvHp
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.

Anthony: “You’re not the only one with magic items.”

Tallow: “Nice try!”

I take the chance and blast more air bullets at Anthony while closing the distance. But right before my eyes, Anthony disappears. Invisibility…
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaQHwZ3j1A
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKKPPYB1yx
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMT6LK6eaJD
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAv17ISASQz
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyhqcrN1vx
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOODaAi70c
Is this shield even necessary? My arms buckle and that’s when I hear a crack in the shield.

Tallow: “GAAH!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDQbfA3dSC

Anthony: “Checkmate.”

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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUYTWX8tLH

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

I continue firing while running towards Anthony with an illusion gorilla fist.

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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UEe5e1Drq
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiziuetnDcb
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.
