However, she was realistic enough to recognize that these men were far more powerful than her, and vastly superior in numbers.
The promise she had made to Ciel was not a casual gesture; it represented the singular chance left for her to reshape her life if she fought for it. It was her opportunity to reclaim who she truly was, and she refused to lose it so easily.
Lexie raised a defensive barrier of divine energy, immediately unleashing a barrage of fiery waves toward her attackers.
While she excelled with a bow and arrow, the tight quarters left her with no room to draw her weapon against enemies standing right in front of her.
