The three of them stood back to back, constantly fending off the prowling Alanna, defending with all their might to prevent being picked off one by one.
Seeing the trio gradually stabilizing, resembling an iron shell, Alanna ceased her attacks and quickly retreated, once more standing on the stage. But before the remaining three could utter any mocking words, Alanna tossed the bat in her hand, the azure glow in her eyes dissipating, replaced by a surge of golden-orange radiance that encircled her side.
"Not good, she still has a trick up her sleeve."
One of them immediately shouted, but at this point, they had no viable strategy to counteract her. They could only come together, raising a honeycomb-like hexagonal grid barrier, forming a sphere that enveloped the three of them.
"Hmph." Seeing this, Alanna sneered mockingly, but her tone was entirely unlike her usual self.
