Just as I was laying out my bold plan, I felt a vibration in the air and snapped my spear up.
bang!
The tip slammed into something solid, hammering me relentlessly like a hail of bullets. It was a long-range attack, coming from a building taller than the one we were on.
bang!

I could've jumped out right now and fight the attacker head-on, but my feet stayed planted. I was hesitant to leave the two girls behind me unguarded.

"Stay there, and no matter what happens, don't—"
Every hair on my body stood up at once. I looked up—late by a heartbeat—and a thin, merciless pillar of electricity speared down from the sky.
