With a kick off the ground, Marionette leapt towards Lillian with glowing eyes.
Seeing this, Lillian immediately raised her arms - prepared to take on the Assassin.
She knew Marionette wasn't doing all of this in the right mindset; she was being controlled!
Although Lillian didn't know how or why Marionette's current condition had progressed up to this point, all she could do now was restrain her beloved girlfriend and administer her blood.
Using her magic, Lillian created a tall wall of water behind herself, several metres thick enough that Marionette wouldn't be able to penetrate it easily.
With her mind split into creating the wall and also watching Marionette, Lillian took a step forward - intending to meet the Assassin head-on.
With how Lillian was right now, having reached Tier 3 and having a body tempered against several kinds of life-threatening obstacles, she should be able to contend with Marionette - even without her items!
That...
That was what she thought.
