With the sudden eruption of light, Shiro essentially made herself a giant target as Aekari's attention was drawn towards her. Sensing an ominous feeling in his heart, he dashed towards her while disregarding the War God.
Since there was now a literal source of light for him to use, he was able to activate a few of his passives and teleport next to her.
However, Nan Tian had the same idea.
Flickering next to Shiro, Nan Tian twisted his body and slammed his heel against Aekari's ribs.
"Sorry, I can't let you harm my dearest now can I?" Nan Tian chuckled while making sure that Aekari didn't have the chance to harm Shiro.
Despite hearing Nan Tian called her 'dearest' Shiro didn't pay him any attention since she was more focused on making sure she didn't waste the skill stone.
As Nan Tian was keeping Aekari busy, Keiko finally found the slight gap that she needed and flickered behind him.
