Bab 408: The entire eye was black!

"Hahaha... Look at you screaming for help, bitch," J1 sneered, his grin twisted with cruel amusement as he watched Aria struggle, blood dripping from her wounds.

"B-Bastard!" Aria spat, gritting her teeth as she forced her battered body to move. She leapt just in time, narrowly avoiding another bullet aimed directly at her back.

"Tsk, she's got a knack for dodging," J4 muttered with frustration, his gun smoking as he adjusted his aim.

Aria's breaths came in ragged gasps, her body screaming in pain from the endless battle. She had already taken down two of Jack's puppets, but these last two had switched to guns—a weapon she hadn't anticipated.

Several bullets had already pierced her flesh, making each movement feel like agony. And Kaelen... Kaelen lay motionless behind her, his blood staining the ground.

'I'm hurt... Aether...' Unconsciously, she called out his name.
