The path exhausted, the end of the road

Drenched in blood, Sheyan observed the fleeing Lille as he retrieved his musket, and aimed its black muzzle across! Activating ‘Rum and Songs’, he directly pressed the trigger!

Yet in that instance, a thin rampart appeared over Lille; its appearance similar to the ‘MP-guard’ of a magic type contestant, yet it glowed with a faint darkness. This was an A grade item he had obtained earlier on, it was called ‘Blessed-protection scroll’ which would project a double-sided shield over oneself.

What it meant by double-sided shield is that if Lille attempted to attack from the inside, his damage would equally be absorbed by the shield. Therefore, this scroll could only be activated when escaping. Yet the devilish property of the shield actually not only absorbed the damage of ‘Rum and Songs’, it even negated the stunning effect! This was the first time Sheyan had encountered such a situation. He couldn’t help but become distracted, but Lille had already fled 30 metres away by now.
