"Is it over?" I muttered to myself, while staying vigilant for anything.

My Aegis Projection focused on protecting both me and Kanon, while we hovered in the air after the floor below us collapsed.

Given the height of this place, there was no way to extinguish a fire of this magnitude that easily .

'It's a good thing my life-saving skills kicked in, or I'd be a crispy chicken by now. I was careless," I mused, learning a valuable lesson from the experience.
