"You're not getting away!" a woman shouted, leaping from a nearby rooftop.
Alice and Eilish spun around to see several witches closing in on them. The situation was dire; they were being targeted without knowing why.
"We can't shake them off! We have to fight back!" Eilish said, her eyes narrowing with determination.
Alice surveyed their surroundings quickly. The human-like golem continued its battle with the witch, while ordinary people scrambled for safety around them.
"Yeah, we have no choice but to defend ourselves," Alice declared. She turned swiftly, summoning a spear into her palm and thrusting it towards their approaching adversaries.
A surge of mana erupted from Alice's body, causing the temperature to plummet. A bluish beam shot from the tip of her spear.
Swoosh!
The pursuing witches halted abruptly, leaping aside to dodge the attack.
Alice raised her spear skyward and cast a spell.
[Hailstorm]!
