In her hand, the saint held a flash drive containing codes that make emergency systems of the colony accessable from any computer it is inserted into. Given the subject matter, Jon urgently informed her, "I hope you understand how important that thing is, losing it would be catastrophic. Please, guard it with your life, for every human life in this colony depends on it." In response, the saint put the flash drive behind her back and it immediately disappeared. Before he started to panic, Jon asked, "Where did you put it? You don't have a backpack." To demonstrate, the saint put her hand behind her back again and the flash drive reappeared in her hand. This prompted Jon to conclude, "I see, so you store it the same way you store your weapons. Until now I thought your weapons are summoned the same way as your armor, but unlike your armor, your guns originate from earth, so it doesn't necessarily make sense. I am not sure I understand how it is possible, but I guess for now magic is a good enough explanation."
After putting the flash drive away again, the saint pulled out her sniper rifle. Given how her legs were not working and her body was in incredible pain, she had to be creative with how she moved. Luckily the chair she was sitting in was on wheels, so by using the long barrel of her sniper rifle, she pushed herself forward, while holding her assault rifle in the other hand, hoping the next demon she encountered would be something weak. Slowly, she pushed herself forward, the saint moved out of the security office, through the hallway, back to the elevator. Going back up to the roof, the same song was playing as before. Unfortunately, the saint could not get into it at this moment.
After pushing herself onto the empty rooftop, she made her way to the side of the building to look down and see what demons were on the closest street. There were plenty of them, but from the distance they were at, she wouldn't be able to absorb any energy from them, so she had to get them closer, so when she opened fire, none of the bullets hit any vital parts. Unfortunately, before any of them got up on the rooftop, the saint heard heavy footsteps, as five ogres had climbed up from behind her. She was unable to turn around fast enough, resulting in an ogre grabbing and slamming her into the ground over and over, breaking her spine. With any focused shooting being impossible considering her condition, the saint resorted to holding the trigger as her arm was flailing around and hoping something dies. her gun did end up hitting the ogre through the eye and it fell dead right on top of her.
One of the other ogres approached the fallen monster, grabbed it by its waist, lifted it up and was immediately blinded by the the saint covered in her healing light as she jumped high into the air, far out of reach. When that light disappeared, there was a brief moment of silence followed by an ogre's head being cut in half as the angel descended at the speed of terminal velocity. She dodged a punch from the third ogre attacking her by ducking and quickly rushing behind it, while shooting another approaching ogre in both kneecaps with the two sub machine guns. The next ogre that attacked missed its punch, for the saint jumped into the air and cut off its head in the process. The last standing demon gazed upon the saint flying in the air, with the silver sword in hand, the divine aura irradiating from her invoked nothing but indescribable hatred from the ogre, even more than her stabbing that sword through the demon she had just crippled.
Several hellspawn arrived on the rooftop, and with the ogre letting out a mighty roar, they charged at her. At this time, A remote controlled drone arrived before the saint, and in response she spread out her wings and flew away. While in the air, the drone operated by Jon flew along side her as he told her, "Me and the last known living humans in this colony are in a hiding in an emergency shelter, it is well hidden, so I will lead you to it, follow this drone."
