Chapter 154
Taro’s assault rifle roared, sending a hail of bullets toward Magia as she disappeared into the rising smoke.
But only a few shots managed to hit her shield—none landed cleanly.
Without hesitation, Taro charged into the smoke after her.
For someone willingly diving into a smoke fight against Magia, her footsteps were light, her voice casual.
"Gonna run again? Like three years ago?"
But what looked like an advantage for Taro didn’t last long.
“...!”
Just as Taro fully entered the smoke, Magia burst out of it like a battering ram, slamming into her.
Taro had been mid-reload, preparing for the next fight.
She immediately switched to her secondary weapon—but too late.
A split-second hesitation delayed her next move, and the barrel of Magia’s gun didn’t wait.
Drrrrrrrk!
