"Ahhh!"
Jeanne screamed after she was hit by the Akateko's flaws.
"Miss Jeanne!" Kuro yelled, he can't help Jeanne since the hand wasn't only focusing on Jeanne, it also attacking Kuro recklessly.
Jeanne is rather worn out and exhausted in the fight. She has already held the demon for almost one and a half hours but she can't even reach the root of the tree. The tree's hand was stopping her from doing so.
She is also worried about Mikael who did vanish, she can't fight properly, and forthwith, she slumbers to the ground and holding the root that wants to dig in Jeanne's stomach.
"T-this tree demon, where did it get all the strength and I can't even scratch it!?" Frustrated, Jeanne complained.
Panting and running out of breathing can be heard to her.
