Bondrewd "rode" the wave of sulfuric acid straight toward the VIP seating area.
Both sides, their attacks interrupted by more than ten seconds of torrential seawater, scattered for cover.
Inside the VIP area, Galdino was protecting Kalifa.
Originally, he had only hoped that those two heavyweights, King Babbage and Shining, would resolve the problem.
But the downpour of seawater had suddenly upset the balance. And then he saw Bondrewd coming straight for them!
-D-do I need to write a will!? I-if possible! I hope you won't kill a nobody like me!
The somewhat droopy "3" atop Galdino's head stood bolt upright in fright.
He looked at the approaching Bondrewd, then at the despairing faces of the spectators around him, who had failed to escape in time and taken refuge inside the VIP area.
-All right, calm down a little and think of a way out of here. Right now, the people beside me are-
The panicking spectators, the composed Kalifa, Perona flying over, and Brook sprinting toward them along the wall.
Captain Hina and Vice Admiral Momousagi had joined forces, holding off Tesoro's trio.
-Good, they must be here to rescue Kalifa... Huh? Will they rescue me too?
Galdino shook his head sharply. Given the nature of their abilities, probably no one here could stop that monster, Bondrewd.
Galdino remembered how, although Marianne had helped him get his foot in the door, he had joined Titans under Sephiroth's "protection."
And the comfortable life he had enjoyed after Babbage took him in.
-Am I! Am I really doing this! Right here!
Flames instantly sprang from the "3" atop Galdino's head. Mustering his courage, he charged directly into Bondrewd's path.
As he passed Perona and Brook, both gave him incredulous looks.
"Candle Wall!"
This time-he would shield everyone behind him!
