Having brandished the flag and planted it, Lillian watched as the darkness receded; her eyes then shot towards the densest area of darkness and found it to become fainter.
The Flag of Reclamation was taking effect.
But. It wasn't enough.
She needed to get the flag closer to Marionette. Although it wasn't specifically stated inside the enchantment's description, the area closer to the flag held a greater effect.
Holding her shortsword in her left hand for the speed boost, Lillian lifted the flag and immediately leapt down.
Periodically, on her fall, she would construct a platform so she could plant the flag, preventing the darkness from recovering its previous size.
However, there were a few times when she was too slow.
The darkness was like a speeding jet of water flying through the sky, piercing through Lillian's shoulder and barely missing her joint, causing her to groan.
