Our defending position saved us some time and effort as we entered the castle's borders. However, those spells never ceased to rain above our heads. It continued firing from elsewhere, hoping that it could eventually hit us.
Fortunately, Match and I protected each other's back as we trod forward towards the castle. Despite this positive remark, I still wished that Ryoshi would catch himself on fire after receiving a blow from these barrages of spells.
"We're still outside the citadel! Don't get comfortable about it! We still need to push through inside before celebrating, okay?!" Okami shouted, while continuing our charge. "Don't get lax, or we'll all die!"
Those words struck us lightning from the stars, with the sparkling elemental spells from afar. That scenery was our reminder that we needed to stay focused in this battle.
