267 141. A Protective Shield -2 (Part One)

Translated by A Passing Wanderer

Edited by RED

Loud shockwaves came from the white shield.

I stared at Charlotte.

It must've been difficult for her, because she was gritting her teeth while trying hard to maintain the shield's balance.

She had broken past the physical limitations of a human being and attained a transcendental body. Even then, she was still not quite strong enough to block off just one small spike from the mud giant.

"Euh-euhk..." A quiet little moan escaped her lips.

Her metal armour began creaking noisily, and on top of that, I thought I could even hear faint cracking noises coming from the muscles and bones in her arms.

"Charlotte!" I cried out to her, and she reacted to my call. But that was all she could do.

If this kept up, then she wouldn't last for long. In that case...

'...Cut that thing down!'

It felt like her thoughts got transmitted to me somehow.
