Higher World Denizens (2)

"Ember! Irja!" Monady had no choice but to shout at us when she heard the sudden explosion behind them. Being locked on by Larnel, she and Udann couldn't move carelessly, lest they wanted to be sniped by that finger attack.

Faren was already a bit exhausted while Axter was still warily weighing in his choices. In the end, we have no choice but to protect ourselves here.

I looked down at the woman in my arms, there's a surprise on her face but it vanished almost instantly when the situation finally registered in her mind.

When she started wordlessly struggling, I let go of my hold of her and let her feet land on the ground.

"H-how did you do that?"

As she faced the opponent in front of us, a telepathic message came from her. Judging from how she almost stuttered, the way I pulled her into my arms like a magnet surprised her.

"Simple Energy Control. It only worked because you're unaware. Anyway, heads-up Irja. That woman's not simple."
