Ookay? That just happened, I guess?
I blinked as the invisible barrier around us fell apart, Lewis holstering his weapon as if nothing even bad had just happened. Beside me, Shizu and Guidance were clearly just as surprised, their guards still up even as our opponent had clearly disarmed himself.
Not that I'd even trust him even after that. There was no way this guy was defenseless even without that [Manifest] of his. And we haven't even seen what he was truly capable of yet.
"Are you guys okay!?"
Shade's voice echoed back into reality as I heard him yell from behind our backs. I could only assume that he tried joining the fight before the instance came to be, only for him to get barred from entry once the barrier went up.
"We're fine," Guidance replied, her focus still on our opponent. "Never mind us. Drag Maruki to safety. I'll heal him once I'm able."
"Got it."
