At the very moment Audrey was sinking into despair, Lance appeared right in front of her. Before she could react, she suddenly felt weightless, and for no clear reason she was sent flying.
A brief moment hanging in the air, then she slammed into something—not hard ground, but...
"Ouch!"
Her whole body was dumped onto the floor, and the burst of pain snapped her fully awake.
Still the floor after all...
Except no one was paying her any attention; Boudica and Amanda were far more concerned with the battle ahead.
Those Heretic Priests, even under the influence, recovered quickly, so Lance dove in, grabbed her, and hurled her out, but ended up stuck inside himself.
Compared to Audrey, who was scared stupid on the spot, Lance looked oddly calm, even with a faint smile tugging at his lips.
How did you know I just burned through a ton of Spiritual Essence?
And you still came delivering yourselves to my door? That's downright polite.
