The others distracted Silvia and Ruru as Roni charged toward Pamela, his colossal fists clenched with raw power, and the ground trembled beneath his weight. Sensing the imminent danger, Pamela's eyes widened, a mixture of worry and determination flickering within them.
However, Lucia saw the imminent threat and acted without hesitation. With a resolute expression on her face, she positioned herself between Roni and Pamela, ready to shield her at any cost.
Roni's massive fists swung towards Lucia, aiming to crush her and reach Pamela. But Lucia, summoning the last remnants of her MP, conjured a shimmering barrier of crimson energy. The impact of Roni's blow reverberated through the barrier, causing it to crack and strain under the immense force.
Lucia gritted her teeth, her body quivering from the strain of maintaining the protective swirling of fire. She casted a desperate glance at Pamela, urging her to move away. "Go, Pamela! Protect the others!" she shouted.
