Marigold, Sakimi, and Typhon had nowhere to run, having been surrounded by a dozen demon guards, each one wearing armor and wielding a spear.
Even worse, the train explosion had launched the teleportation rune out of Marigold's pocket. It sat next to one of the demon guards, but luckily, the grass was mostly hiding it from view.
Marigold kept her gaze at eye level to prevent anyone from noticing her target. If only she could get there in time.
The only bright side was that everyone was unhurt for the most part. Each of them had a high enough defense to withstand the damage.
"Hey, Marigold," Sakimi whispered. "Now's a good time to get us out of here!"
"Sorry, but I dropped the rune."
"You what?!" Typhon exclaimed.
The demon guards pushed closer.
"Sakimi," Marigold said. "Cast Glaciate!"
One of the demons lunged at Sakimi, but Typhon parried the blow.
