Lola did her best to protect Noah while simultaneously trying to advance toward the shop's protective boundary.
Her fire wings created barriers that deflected some attacks while her free arm generated defensive flames around Noah's body.
But fighting while maintaining the intimate connection and protecting an unconscious burden severely limited her options.
The dark elf grandmasters closed in from multiple directions, their assault designed to overwhelm her defenses.
Lola tried her hardest to break through the encirclement, her fire wings blazing as she attempted to reach the shop's safety with Noah still cradled protectively in her arms. The energy she had drawn from their connection provided temporary relief from her exhaustion, but the overwhelming numbers arrayed against her made victory impossible.
