He dodged, countered with a knee to the chest. It barely dented the armor.
And worse—his stamina was dipping fast. His mana well was never meant for prolonged combat.
"Come on, Noel… one more hit…"
The Juggernaut leapt—and Noel didn't dodge.
He blocked it full force, the ground buckling beneath him.
His barrier cracked. And so did his ribs.
Blood poured from his mouth.
He still stood. But he was fading.

"Astraia's slowing down…! Is she gonna make it!?"
@Guildwatcher"Noel's fighting like hell, but I don't think he can handle much more—WHERE'S BLANK?!"
@SaberMuse
"He's done with Wave 2. He's just standing there… watching."
@ShadowGuildsman
"No he's not. He's calculating. That monster's already thinking ahead to the next wave."
@AstraiaFansClub
"Come on, Astraia! Don't fall here!"

The Juggernaut lunged again, its impact hammer blazing with mana, screaming toward Noel like a meteor.
