Chapter 241: Ache

Yukito

I winced as the muscles in my right arm began to spasm. Second Heaven wasn't going to last much longer. We had to hurry up and defeat this guy, else we'll be in trouble.

"Are you okay?" Koyuki asked, panting as she cooled down a wave of incoming lava. She really had grown a lot in such a short period of time. Guess we had to thank the real Andrey himself for pushing us to our limits.

"I'm fine," I assured Koyuki, gritting my teeth against the pain that shot through my arm. I caught a glimpse of Saffron, his form outlined by the pulsating energy of his cannon. He was pushing himself to his limits, and we had to do our part. 

"Saffron, how much longer?" Kisa called out, her voice strained as she continued to hurl stones at Andrey.

"Just a bit more," Saffron replied, his voice steadier than I felt. I could see the way his hands trembled with the effort of holding back the energy in his cannon.
