Weakening Faith

"She's growing weaker," Hiraku commented after a while. He was exhausted and in pain. The Rescue Fighters had been killed, torn into shreds long before help arrived.

That weakened the Super Awakened and Divine Subordinates drastically. Nonetheless, fewer people died. 

"Our people are dying, though," Mekhaz responded, grinding his teeth underneath the Living Armor. He charged the Tekur Queen, while Hiraku used his connection to the surroundings – alongside some Elementals' help – to control the ground and blood around them, creating a pool of blood filled with mud to slow the Tekur Queen for a quarter of a second. That was all they needed to reach her.

[Our people might be dying, but we can wear her down. Let's focus on stalling for time. That's all we have to do in the first place. The others are doing everything else.] Hiraku commented to the surrounding allies via Whispering Energy.
