Kaeya hovered above the fractured ground, both arms extended as twin Annihilation Mana Cannons formed behind her like blazing halos. Energy condensed into their cores, humming with destructive intent.
Without hesitation, she fired.
Twin beams of compressed annihilation mana roared forward, tearing through the air toward the two plump siblings—the puppeteers controlling the fallen Ex Hero Party. The ground beneath the beams disintegrated into molten trenches.
But just before the blast could engulf the siblings—
Hiro and the others lunged in unison.
Though their eyes were dull and unfocused, their bodies moved with deadly precision. Blades clashed against mana constructs. Shields formed from condensed aura deflected part of the blast. One of them redirected the beam skyward at the cost of being thrown backward.
Kaeya gritted her teeth.
"They're still protecting them…"
