Chapter 52: Mother
The clash of powers echoed through the broken sky as Menma tore through the battlefield, his breath ragged, heart pounding.
The moment he caught sight of her, everything else faded into the background.
Annie.
She was barely standing.
Her shield—a glowing, shimmering construct formed from her Light Creation—was flickering, cracks forming in its surface like glass under pressure.
She twisted and ducked under a barrage of relentless attacks, barely dodging a flurry of Eclipse Suns.
They were everywhere—multiple instances of them, shadows of the same power, swarming her like a coordinated dance of destruction.
Menma's eyes widened, and fury surged through him like a tidal wave.
"What the hell are you doing to my mother!?" he roared, his voice tearing through the chaos like thunder.
His rage flared violently, igniting the air around him.
Without hesitation, he summoned the portal from his creation—space distorting as it opened midair, and in an instant, he grabbed Annie.
