Out of nowhere, a surge of soldiers came crashing through, their heavy boots pounding against the ground like thunder as they raised their rifles in unison, barrels glinting with deadly intent, all aimed directly at us.
Sister Lily didn't hesitate. In one fluid motion, she whipped out her dagger and hurled it with brutal accuracy. The blade flew like a streak of silver lightning and embedded itself in the throat of one of the men. His body jolted as blood sprayed from the wound, and he dropped like a lifeless sack of flesh.
I quickly gathered my mana, heat searing in my chest before bursting outward through my fingertips. Flames erupted violently and engulfed several soldiers in searing fire. Screams tore from their throats as their bodies flailed, caught in the blaze.
"Go!!" Sister Lily yelled with fierce urgency.
