224 Give up?

[Ellie... Ellie!!!]

Ellie was hearing a voice screaming inside her head. It was a familiar voice that she hadn't heard in a long time and almost forgot how comforting it sounded.

[ELLIE!!!]

"Aunt Evie??" the girl gasped after widening her eyes.

She raised her head and saw that part of the terrain had been completely erased on her left side.

The girl was in Gustav's arms while Marcus was carrying Leona on his back. They both had used their blessed metal armor to move out of the way on a quick leap.

For the first time, the three of them were looking just as hopeless as Ellie herself while watching the aftermath of Mia's attack.

"This is ridiculous..." Gustav whispered.

The hole Mia created was so deep that they could not see the bottom and just kept extending itself all the way from where she was standing to just past West's portal.
