Difficult Choice

Perhaps Lara's immunity to the Angel's overwhelming pressure had something to do with [Subspace], or her continuous connection with me.

Regardless, I had to do something… and fast!

was working, but it was too slow! The best thing for me to do was Level Up, but even then… what could I do if my opponent was stronger than me regardless!

If I took my focus off my opponent for even a second, it would spell my end. And so, even though I had temporarily prevented the winged lady's assault on me, it wasn't like I could deal any damage either.

As a result, both I and my opponent… were at an impasse.

How long would that last, though?

'If she decides to cover Lara in the same golden sphere as she did for Lily, that's the end for me. I currently have no strength left. Shit…'

No matter how hard I thought, there was no way out for me—even though Lara was currently holding the fort.
