Sniper with Portal Combo

"Goddess Zeta was...?"

As soon as I heard Ember's words, I quickly doubted their validity. After all, I can't imagine her getting injured, even with a surprise attack. She's a master of space! A god in that regard! Nobody should be able to sneak an attack on her.

"What happened? How did that happen?"

When I asked, Ember's eyes turned watery. She was about to cry and buried her head in my chest. 

"It was my fault. I was too focused on what I was doing that I didn't realize an enemy slipped through. Goddess Zeta... She... To protect me, she put herself in danger."

I could hear her short sobs, probably feeling guilty that it was her mistake that caused a goddess to get injured. I patted her head gently and turned to where Zeshion was.

'Looks like I have some debt to pay.'

I'm not one who likes keeping debts, so I pay them as soon as I possibly can. And this time, luckily, we could quickly repay the debt for saving Ember's life.
