"Wait, Sirius!"
After hearing such terrible news from Miss Terra, there was no way I could keep fighting. I explained to Sirius, who was still locked in a tug-of-war:
"Miluno's heart has already fused with the darkness! If we force them apart, she'll die!"
"Seriously?"
Sirius stopped pulling, but she didn't release the whip of light binding "great blood." The latter was still being suppressed by Miss Terra's power... no, she had already broken free.

Who knew the lance's tip would split into four toothed lobes like a
