631 Lack of Experience (2/2)

At the same moment, she tried to pull Bashi back. There wasn't time to think or explain anything since the barrier wouldn't last in front of that kind of attack.

The barrier broke as if it had been made of paper, but it had reduced the strength of the attack quite a bit, which was its original purpose since Lily knew that she wasn't strong enough to create something that could block that attack. Kabur might have been able to do it working with Gloriana, but there wasn't time for that.

Their opponent waited until when Kabur couldn't do anything to use that attack. He even battled a whole year without using any of his most powerful attacks to test Kabur's group before deciding how to proceed.

However, the attack didn't hit Bashi. Lily wasn't fast enough to move him in that mere second, so she tried to throw him back on instinct to make him avoid the attack, which made that she received it instead.

Although the attack had been weakened and Lily wasn't defenseless, she was still thrown back and heavily injured by the attack. She even clashed with Bashi while going back until both fell into a planet that was reduced to thrash in an instant.

Bashi had already recovered when he saw the situation.

He saw Lily beside him, but she wasn't her usual self. She was covered in blood, and her clothes had been broken in several places. The protection of the clothes had also mostly waned off.

She could recover, but in that situation, there wasn't time for that, and in her state, the True God could kill her easily.

”Why? It was my fault. There was no need to take that hit for me.”

Bashi had never felt so guilty.

”Who knows. I just did it unconsciously, but I am sure that she would have done the same.”

Although Lily tried to speak as if it wasn't important, her voice showed that she was really in a bad state.

”Don't speak. Focus on recovery! You aren't Ange, you can't heal yourself like her, nor you can protect yourself like she does. You two are completely different, so don't try to imitate her.”

That was the first time Bashi really noticed that he cared about Lily far more than he always believed.

”Not dead? Lucky, I guess, but there won't be a second time.”

The voice of the True God could be heard as he approached them.

Gloriana was also trying to help, but she wasn't faster than the True God. Once he started battling seriously, the difference was far too great, and he was nearer than Gloriana from the beginning since she put her attention on Kabur the second Bashi got attacked.

”You aren't touching her!”

Bashi took out another sword without caring about how many he had destroyed until that moment and attacked, but he was blocked again. However, the True God was surprised.

”Those red eyes and jumped to Great God. The Rage Divinity sure it is useful together with the experience you got, but it is useless against me.”

Another lethal attack was sent to Bashi, but that time, Gloriana managed to interfere and force the True God to share his attention, but the result was that both were injured to a point they couldn't battle anymore.

Kabur tried to save the other three, but alone he couldn't do much and was defeated too.

”You are all alive, but not for too much time. I won!”

The True God was about to destroy everything on the area where the four were, but that attack was never released.

”Yale wouldn't forgive me if I let that they die, so the play is over. This should be a good experience for them.”

Alrein spoke. He had been protecting them since the battle started.

However, the True God died without having the chance to hear those words.
