Rosaria gritted her teeth and pushed away the distracting thoughts. She couldn't afford to hesitate. She had to save Liliya. With a deep breath, she focused her senses on the Honkai Beast before her, trying to pinpoint Liliya's exact location.
"Rosaria, be careful. Don't hurt Liliya. Remember, Shen Gonglin said he has a spare exoskeleton armor from Bronya. If you accidentally cut Liliya, we can still use that."
Theresa's voice rang out, trying to ease Rosaria's tension. However, her words had the opposite effect. Rosaria's eyes widened in shock, and she looked at Theresa as if she had seen a ghost.
"Theresa, you... you actually said that... You're really scary when you're serious!"

"Found it! Liliya is here!"
Rosaria's eyes snapped open, and she raised her greatsword. She had found Liliya's location. She had to be precise. She couldn't afford to miss. She took a deep breath and charged forward, her greatsword glowing with a brilliant light.
"Rosaria, be careful! Don't miss!"
Theresa's voice echoed in her ears, but Rosaria was too focused to respond. She couldn't afford to miss. She had to save Liliya. She was her sister, and she couldn't let her down.
With a mighty roar, Rosaria swung her greatsword, aiming for the exact spot where Liliya was located. The Honkai Beast let out a deafening roar, trying to dodge the attack, but Theresa's chains held it in place. Rosaria's greatsword descended, and the Honkai Beast's body was sliced open, revealing Liliya's unconscious form inside.
"Liliya!"
Rosaria's eyes widened in relief as she saw her sister. She quickly reached out to grab Liliya, but Gray Serpent wasn't about to let her go so easily. The Honkai Beast's body started to regenerate, trying to heal the wound and trap Liliya inside again.
"Rosaria, hurry up! It's healing!"
Theresa's voice rang out, urging Rosaria to act quickly. Rosaria gritted her teeth and grabbed Liliya, pulling her out of the Honkai Beast's body just in time. The Honkai Beast roared in anger, but Theresa's chains held it in place, preventing it from attacking.
"Rosaria, get back here! We need to retreat!"
Shen Gonglin's voice rang out, and Rosaria quickly retreated, holding Liliya in her arms. Theresa's chains disappeared, and she quickly followed Rosaria, retreating to a safe distance.
"Liliya, wake up! It's me, Rosaria!"
Rosaria shook Liliya, trying to wake her up. Liliya's eyes fluttered open, and she looked up at Rosaria with a weak smile.
"Rosaria... I knew you would come for me... I'm not afraid... I knew you would save me..."
Liliya's voice was weak, but her smile was filled with warmth. Rosaria felt a lump form in her throat. She had saved Liliya. She had done it. She hugged Liliya tightly, tears streaming down her face.
"Liliya... I'm sorry... I'm sorry I couldn't protect you... I'm sorry I made you worry..."
Rosaria apologized, her voice filled with regret. Liliya shook her head weakly, trying to comfort Rosaria.
"It's okay... It's not your fault... We're sisters... We'll always be together... No matter what happens... We'll always be together..."
Liliya's voice was filled with love and warmth. Rosaria nodded, tears streaming down her face. She would always be with Liliya. No matter what happened, they would always be together.
