The first few hours could only rely on Thalia. Rise sighed deeply and let Thalia take him to the rooftop of a building. The angry crowd could only look at them helplessly, some wanting to enter the establishment, but they were stopped by the peculiar vines that Thalia unleashed.
They were not in their right minds, and so some still tried to destroy the vines, which was close to impossible unless they were at least A-rank espers.
Thalia and Rise did not talk, words were unnecessary in their situation. With just one glance, they already knew what to do. Rise sat and closed his eyes, trying to accelerate his recovery.
Thalia stood by his side, looking down at the vast crowd and waiting for the espers to arrive and besiege them.
With a deep breath, Thalia's gaze darkened. She looked into the distance where a huge mana concentration was fast approaching.
'Come... and die.'
