Pandemonium || PERSONA 5 FF (hiatus)

06│ Granted Wish

Part 1

As soon as they lifted their gazes, in their shock they saw the shadow guards already surrounding them.

When they were encircled by the shadow guards, The King gave a confident laugh for he thought that he is the victor.

Now, here they are, being surrounded by multiple guards, or the reinforcements which Kamoshida called. Their pants were heard throughout the room. Ann was tired, and the rest was too. Even if they could fight, they couldn't handle the numbers.

"We're outnumbered..." Morgana said while he clicked his tongue. "At times like this... it's best to run, but there is no path..."

Being unable to do anything in that situation, they unconsciously wished for shadows to just disappear. Slowly, the shadows corner them leaving them in despair, as they were left to do nothing but watch them go berserk. But their wish was granted soon enough when someone emits a cursed magic on the shadows that was on the way of their path to escape, as well as allowing them to see who cast the magic.

To their shock, they saw an unfamiliar face. It was no other than the woman who was in front of the entrance of the castle. Her knee-length blonde hair flowed by the wind caused by the impact of her attack.

She was wearing a violet turtleneck as a blouse, and a black tight skirt length up to her thighs. A brown coat was worn by her to warm her up. Black stockings covered her legs, along with flesh boots as her footwear.

It was unusual– that she was still wearing her regular clothing, or at the most, it was nothing weird or flashy like the four's. She also didn't have a mask, where the rest thought she didn't have a persona. But, how did she cast that magic?

Despite their inner thoughts, they were running to the entrance of the castle, while the girl moved forward to finish off the rest of the shadows.

They stopped when they've reached the entrance, but in curiosity turned their heads to identify or at least see how she casts magic. She was not doing anything yet, even though some shadows were already midway on making an attack on her.

Their thoughts were interrupted when gunshots were heard.

From somewhere high in the castle, someone was shooting the guards one by one, all bullets shot them perfectly at their heads. The four looked at the direction of the source of the gunshots, but what they saw was only a mere shadow of the person.

"W-what?!" Shadow Kamoshida exclaimed. He felt his pride and confidence was crushed to the ground.

"I didn't ask for your help." The woman spoke. They were confused about who was she talking to but soon realized that she may be talking to the one who shot the guards.

"Never said I was helping you." The one who shot the guards replied. She also had a feminine voice, and they concluded that she was also a girl.

"Tch." The woman clicked her tongue as she dodged a fire attack from a shadow.

She swung her right arm in front of the shadow while she backed off. The shadows that were in the area became covered with ice in a split second, where the group had to blink their eyes several times until that they realized that she casts magic without a persona. And plus, she was multi-elemental too.

The shadows that were covered in ice were then crushed, and pieces of ice were their only remains.

While there was still quite a lot of shadows, the girl who shot the guards jumped from where she was. But before the light could've shown her face or body, she suddenly disappeared from the area.
