Escaped

Seeing the attack, Aimu could feel danger; the pattern on his axe glowed, and the shadow beast that was fighting against Balthazar's shadow, Malboro, quickly made his escape.

Moving quickly through the shadows, it appeared behind Aimu and then started fusing over his body, creating a black metallic armor. 

With the enhanced strength, Aimu was prepared to face the deadly attack.

Freya also moved her pixie to support Aimu against the attack. Shooting all their power toward the laser beam

But just inches away, the laser beam turned its angle upward, surprising both Freya and Aimu. The target is not Aimu. It's Freya.

Exploiting the opportunity, Balthazar's shadow beast shot its shadow hand forward, catching Freya's limbs. Sealing her escape.

SWOSH!! The laser moved toward her face, but just before it hit her.

BANG! Something came out from the portal.
