As he began to step forward to leave the bounds of the hiding spot, Melisande grabbed onto his arm, though the look he gave her was that of saying 'There's no other way.'
Stepping out from the spot of hiding, he gulped as he looked up, meeting eye-to-eye with the scarlet orb that was like a looming moon up above, locking onto him with inhuman malice.
Just before he set out to use a spell, something else happened–
"Eyes on me–!"
A voice rang out; it was unrefined and energetic–the voice of a reckless man. Right after the yell, an impact landed against the ankle of the colossus, causing it to falter for a moment as it spun around in anger.
"...Who dares assault the Jaeger?!..." The entity growled.
That question was something Emilio wanted to know as well, and he got his answer as he saw another human standing on the ground, wielding a massive sword with black-and-silver hair that ended in a ponytail.
