A second.
That was the total time it took for Kira to snap back together before she raised her arm at the Crimson Lord.
"11th tier Spell! Crucible of Protection!"
Mana whipped out of her body in a torrent of waves, blasting through the air and slamming the man away.
He was blasted away from their presence, as a large, blue vibrant dome quaked to life.
It surged through the air in a silent decree as it enveloped the world around Kira.
There was no time for dilly-dallying.
Kira sighed greatly as her gaze darted to the floating woman in an armour of gold.
Her eyes narrowed at the sight while the latter turned towards her as she dropped her sword.
Their gazes locked onto each other, and silence suffused the air.
Until it didn't.
"Have you gone mad?"
Kira's tone was etched with the disgust that eluded her gaze.
The sharpness in her tone increased with every single word.
'Saved by a Jun…'
She ground her teeth at the very concept.
'...How repulsive.'
