Mia kept charging at Ellie with a pair of red claws on her hands to try and pierce her stomach, but the girl just continued to block it with shields made of diamonds and metal. Her defense was so strong that even Mia was having trouble getting past it.
Ellie wanted to find an opening to get in contact with Gustav, but Mia was just chasing her like a cat following a light dot, not giving any chances.
The soldiers and the mages from Ellie's side didn't know how to react since they had no idea who this kid was and where she had come from, but they were more than glad to see she was managing to stand toe-to-toe with Mia.
Not very happy, however, was a certain red-haired lady who was trying to not pull her hair out while witnessing Ellie's action.
