Aster and Argus were stuck, surrounded by enemies on all sides.
To make matters worse, Lorelai was casually walking across the battlefield, ignoring the chaos as she made her way toward Cassy and the others. The black-haired man from before accompanied her, keeping a vigilant gaze on Aster, silently declaring: "It's our win."
"Argus!"
But Aster didn't know when to quit. The number of enemies had doubled, but that didn't mean the volume of attacks would as well. There was a limit to how many enemies could engage him in melee at once.
The long-range attackers could increase their firepower, but they couldn't shoot recklessly with their allies so close. In short, the current situation actually favored the duo!
Without needing to be told, Argus understood his role. Lightning surged across his body as he charged up for an attack, while Aster stood by his side, protecting him from anyone who dared to strike.
