Marionette, having coated her hand in a thin layer of darkness, grappled at the man's throat with a stoic look.
She then raised the barrel of her gun and stuck it into the gap in his helmet, pointing it directly at his face before muttering:
"You're a fool for coming close."
Hubert, panicking, tried to pry his spear out from the woman's stomach. However, he was unable to, for even the woman's body had a tight hold on his spear.
He twisted his head around, trying to knock away the barrel of the gun out of his helmet.
Unfortunately—
BANG!
—He had been unsuccessful in this attempt.
Having been previously enveloped by darkness, Marionette's attack on his head was amplified, causing the back of his helmet to burst out.
She felt the gun vibrate in her hand as though hinting at its close approach to being awakened.
