章 123: Second Floor of the Convergence Maze (2)

"Watch out!" Julia exclaimed the moment she regained her senses. Her reaction speed coupled with her strength allowed her to push Abigail out of the way when a killer beam travelled right through the place they landed.

Even though Julia was able to push Abigail out of the way and get herself out in time as well, the suddenness of the whole situation drove her to act without much thought in control.

The force she used in pushing Abigail away ended up injuring her right hand, crippling her then and there. As an archer, that was damage she couldn't afford to sustain.

Abigail screamed in agony as the pain coursed through her system. The force of the push also sent her flying many metres away, ending up all the way to one of the walls, further worsening her injuries. 

She almost lost consciousness as a result and if she was completely out of the way, she would have still ended up being collateral.
