418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wKFIvwZYA
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5d99RRTE6
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!”
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjutSbmIKz

I take the chance and blast more air bullets at Anthony while closing the distance. But right before my eyes, Anthony disappears. Invisibility…
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLfVNlBgZQ
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4zIYbM2C9
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrPU0iMgqd
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBgscg04TP
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoJjeJZKmQ
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgavotFl3OW
Is this shield even necessary? My arms buckle and that’s when I hear a crack in the shield.

Tallow: “GAAH!”
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivbVjxUbHn

Tallow is on the ground bleeding heavily from his bloody torn apart arms. The pain is too much and he soon falls unconscious.

Anthony: “Checkmate.”

418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaEOaCAquF
I summon fireballs and delayed air bullets. Some are illusions and others are real. I ignore my nose bleed and fire them at Anthony.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv88izkz1Ps
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzaZyOAxH3
Anthony: “I know the fireballs are illusions, try again.”
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsL8LuVdlT

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.

418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWW8dDWKfp
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0OtZSKTZ0
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxAa4s5yu3
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.
