[Ar...! Answ...!]
Lostvayne and Celestia both called out to him, but his ears were ringing, and their voices came through in broken fragments he could barely make out.
The beam that had struck him after it disrupted his grip had hit a vital—his heart.
Arthur didn't waste time thinking. He immediately reached out and grabbed Celestia again, and without hesitation, forcefully absorbed ALL of her remaining cosmic energy in an instant.
It was far more than what his body could safely process at once, but at the moment, he didn't care.
[Ma…ster… n't bl…ock th… …ll…!]
Celestia shouted something, maybe a warning about her inability to block the side cannon shots while he was drawing all her power, but Arthur couldn't focus on that. He could barely hear anything anyway.
