The Enheria Knight held a carrot and kept feeding it into the long-eared witch's mouth.
It was like loading an ammunition belt.
At the same time, orange energy beams kept firing out from the witch.
Each shot wasn't particularly powerful, but they came like fire from a recoilless machine gun, and the beams could even turn. Xiaoling was getting blasted into quite a sorry state, though hiding behind me let her avoid most of the attacks.
So just because I was crystal now, she was using me as cover?
"Miluno, aren't you going to do something?"
"I can't leave this passage."
Just as my job was to stall for time here, the Enheria Knight's job was to destroy the Imitation Crystal. If she had a chance to rush past, she certainly wouldn't waste time on me here.
That meant I had to stay in this passage and block her.
"Then I'm getting out of here!!"
"Okay. Leave the rest to me."
The little girl turned and fled down the passage with her hands over her head. The Enheria Knight also tried to charge through, but how could I possibly let her past?
Solidified light formed an impassable wall. As long as I stood here, she had absolutely no way to get around me.
Whether it was her punches and kicks or the Carrot Witch's light beams, they barely tickled my crystallized body. Could I call them completely useless?
Other than leaving me closer and closer to stark naked, they really hadn't accomplished anything.

SpiCa had also dispatched an infiltration squad, which was sneaking into Enheria's base through the remnants of the teleportation passage the Enheria Knight had used, and setting up a teleportation device...
