Hmm, I should have suspected something was off when they seemed to start backing away.
Yeah, it looks like I let my guard down twice over, since even my doppelgänger didn't notice that until Silvia pointed it out.
He was too distracted trying to send that wrecking ball guy back.
Although it was fun to watch him fly through the air and punch a hole in his own ship.
Anyway, we weren't the only ones to go down—Elena did exactly what I asked her to do; if anyone could infiltrate without being noticed, it was her.
Now both ships were starting to fall.
I was coordinating the mages to create a barrier against the enemy's ranged attacks, but now it didn't seem so necessary.
'Maybe I should use it to cushion the impact.'
"Oh! It started off slower."
But it seems it wasn't necessary.
The rate of descent slowed abruptly.
The mages among our seniors didn't just stand by; they used this method to slow our descent.
