"Ugh, this won't work...!" Jiliang could no longer suppress her agitation; it burst forth from the depths of her heart.
She had already fallen into a deadlock. Every second she delayed would only make the battle more unfavorable.
She had to find a breakthrough.
Jiliang yanked the control stick. Freedom Gundam's thrusters roared even more fiercely as the machine carved a sharp arc through the air, breaking free from Raider Gundam's nightmare-like pursuit through an almost limit-defying maneuver.
That black figure ultimately failed to keep up completely with Freedom Gundam's breakthrough, leaving behind a fleeting opening in midair.
