Boom!
The explosion sounded loud and thunderous. Jake thought that in that moment, he had died.
[Open your eyes, dummy,] the system said.
Jake opened his eyes only to see himself in a barrier made of golden light, and standing in front of him was Ophelia.
She blocked the entire attack. When she had blocked the other ones, he saw her barrier shatter. He never thought she would be able to block something of this magnitude.
Ophelia was standing there, hands trembling, blood running down her nose. She looked back at Jake and smiled before passing out, and the barrier shattered.
Jake launched forward. He grabbed her before she could fall. He looked at her face, a soft smile on it.
"Twice. Twice I've put you in pain," he muttered. "Enough of this," he said.
He looked at Fang. It had been blasted aside by the attack, but it wasn't dead or heavily wounded.
Jake got on his feet, still holding Ophelia in his hands. He summoned all the ogres, then handed her to one.
