That combo technique of mine and Brother’s! Looks incredibly tanky…】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【“Earth Shield Art” instantly perked up: With that turtle shell… wait, with that battle armor, what’s there to fear?】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【“Earth Shield Art” changed its tune faster than flipping a page: Master! I feel ready again! Let’s charge! We must clear it! Whoever doesn’t clear it is a bastard!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【“Fireball Art” rolled its eyes: Hmph.
