( Ena's POV )
With my back pushed against the rock, I was being choked by the enemy Oni, I was kicking frantically for him to let me go, but that didn't work, I was about to lose consciousness, but a shout from Ryuji caught my attention.
Ryuji: Ena!! Catch!
Ryuji threw his shotgun at me, and I caught it in mid-air, I put the barrel to the Oni's eye and pulled the trigger, that created a hole where his eye was, and he finally let go of me.
Oni: ARGGGHHT
Ena: ahhh ah eat that damn Oni.
Although the Oni had a new hole in his head, he was still standing, I grabbed his clothes and pulled his body towards the other sharp tip of the naginata stuck in the rock, his shoulder was pierced, and I was able to wriggle under him.
Ena: Now! Run!
With my order, the girls climbed onto Tsuchigumo's back, and they approached where Ryuji and I were, when we were together, we began our escape while Ogre distracted the last Oni, who endured all the girls' bombardment.
He only held it for a moment, but that was all it took, Ogre was close to losing I called him back to my phone, I thought they wouldn't leave the oasis to chase us, and although that was correct, I underestimated the length of their attacks.
I saw a huge sign from the enemy and a giant Oni, three times bigger than the ones we had faced, fell from the sky and shook the earth so much that Tsuchigumo was lifted high.
While we were in the air, the Oni that the girls bombed threw his naginata with all his strength, and the target was me, maybe because they saw that I was giving the orders, they tried to take me out first.
I activated my body enhancement but I had a feeling that it wasn't going to be enough, the naginata flew straight but before I could land the blow Ogre came out of my phone and stood in front of me but that wasn't enough either, the naginata passed through both of us, and the large blade of the naginata got stuck inside me.
Ogre: Huh, sorry, brother, I don't... I can keep going.
My ally demon became experience but that was not all the enemy did, the giant Oni swung his naginata, and created some wind blades to attack the others, Tsuchigumo grabbed everyone and turned around to receive the worst of the attack, and he too disappeared.
When we fell to the ground, the others gathered around me in panic, and tried to help me, Io was using her magic desperately, and I wanted to tell them to forget about me and escape, but when I tried to speak, I spat out a mouthful of blood.
Things weren't looking good, and I couldn't do anything to change that, my body was getting colder and colder, and my friends' voices were being muffled to the point where I couldn't hear them.
'Come on, move, move... Just one more time.'
I was at death's door and couldn't keep my eyes open, but when I thought my end had come, My body rose slowly, but I was not in command, it was as if I were a passenger inside my own body.
The others were trying to call me, but I couldn't hear them, and I couldn't speak.
I pulled the naginata out of my chest and instantly the wound was sealed with ice, I walked slowly and froze the ground where I walked, I hit the ground with the tip of my foot and a wave of ice ran across the ground towards the Oni who threw his naginata at me, when the ice reached the enemy the Oni was impaled by a dozen ice stakes.
With one less enemy, the giant Oni swung his weapon towards me, I gathered my magic into the naginata and transformed the blade of the naginata into one of blue crystal, I also took a swing, and when our weapons collided, the Oni's naginata broke into hundreds of pieces.
When his attack failed, he used his massive size to crush me with his fist, but I raised my palm above my head, In addition to stopping his attack, I froze his fist, and a wave of severe frostbite began to rise up his arm.
That attack was unstoppable and instead of ending up completely frozen the Oni chose to tear off his own arm, I could see fear in the enemy's eyes but at that moment I spat out another mouthful of blood, I regained control of my body, and could feel that what was driving me was not going to last much longer.
I gathered all the power I had left and with a powerful stomp I created a high wall of ice that enclosed the entire oasis, now we could escape but I had to leave that in the hands of others because when I ran out of energy the ice covering my wound disappeared and I finally lost consciousness while bleeding to death.

( Io's POV )
Since we came into this world, we have been depending on Ena to keep us safe, and now that we found ourselves with an enemy that we could not defeat, he saved us again, only to end up seriously injured in the process.
When Ena created the ice wall that separated us from our enemies, we ran to his side, and I tried to heal him, but when I started we heard banging sounds from the other side of the wall.
Ryuji: Damn them! They don't give us a break.
The enemies tried to break the wall, and Ryuji lifted him up to escape, but that worsened his injuries.
Io: Don't move him! You're making things worse.
Ryuji: We have no choice, We stay here, and that'll be the end for everyone.
We were somewhat panicking, not knowing what to do, but at that moment our attention was caught by a familiar sound, something we hadn't heard since we saw here.
'Is that a car?'
