The Black Death Lord's second-phase assault plunged the battlefield into absolute chaos. Black energy lasers shot out in every direction, triggering massive explosions around the flying fortress. Jeanne and Bai Suzhen moved swiftly, deflecting the beams with their swords, but the relentless intensity was becoming increasingly overwhelming.
"Jeanne, left!" Bai Suzhen warned, deflecting a laser that nearly grazed Jeanne's shoulder.
"I see it!" Jeanne replied sharply, her eyes locked on the increasingly aggressive Black Death Lord.

"These... can't be broken!" Bai Suzhen groaned, reaching for her fallen sword.
Jeanne bit her lip, struggling against the chains, but the harder she fought, the tighter they grew. The light from her sword began to dim.
