Yarin's POV:
The hostages were exposed to the kidnappers' guns, and now I felt unable to do anything else. While dealing with the endless bullets and blades, I tried to use more fitness equipment to surround the hostages and create a safe space.
"We can't go on like this," Aunt Eve's wolf, Liz, said while panting heavily. "There are too few of us, but there seems to be an endless stream of them. It's not good for us to fight in a continuous battle."
The strange thing was that even we, on the first floor, heard the commotion on the fourth floor. There was no reason why the people on the other floors could not hear it. After so long, they should have arrived to provide support.
One possibility was that battles were happening elsewhere, and the warriors had no time to worry about other places.
Another possibility was that the Lily of the Valley had used some method to prevent the warriors from reaching the fourth floor.
