In Telbon's view, one fireball after another was extinguished.
But more fireballs swarmed in.
Quantity changes lead to qualitative changes.
When the first fireball didn't just silently vanish but seemed to smash against some invisible curtain, joy could be seen on Telbon's face.
This unknown 'ritual' had reached its limit!
Watching as each fireball turned into brilliant sparks upon collision, Telbon prayed once more without hesitation.
"Hit them!"
"This time it must work!"
"It'll definitely..."
Smack!
Telbon's words were abruptly cut off as he was slapped in the face by Telly.
This member of the 'Clock Tower' stationed at the 'Ground Reconnaissance Bureau' looked at Telly, puzzled.
"Shut up!"
"You jinx!"
Telly scolded Telbon angrily.
"That was just an accident!"
"This time it will surely..."
Telbon's words were cut off before he could even say "can," as the scene changed again.
A cloaked figure, whose face was shrouded, suddenly appeared on the scene.
