"Seriously...?" I asked. "Even with all of us together...?"
Xiang Peng shook her head. "I know a strong foe when I see one. Perhaps if we were all in our peak state, we would stand a chance, but..."
She glanced at the resting rescue squad members, and gritted her teeth. "There's only so much Blessing Magic can do, after all."
"Well...if we can't fight, we can always run," I suggested. "Everyone should be feeling well enough to walk, at least."
She nodded. "You're right. Let's go...not."
Just as she turned around and prepared to get everyone to run away, a huge abomination, similar to the one who had just shot a laser beam at me, emerged from behind the corner.
"Oh...shit," I muttered under my breath.
The resting rescue squad members struggled to their feet and backed away immediately. We formed a circle with the ten of us, Qing Yue in the middle.
Xiang Peng laughed awkwardly. "Haha...guess we'll have to fight after all, huh...?"
