The rotten smell and disgusting ambient weren't a problem as long as she had her Barrier Jacket on, but the sight of the creatures lurking in the darkness made her pause for a moment and wonder how could the person behind this have done such things and for what reason.

Overthinking would do no one any good. However, Nanoha couldn't bring herself to match Youmu's choices in lethality. Her magic wasn't made to hurt others, but it would still destroy these creatures since they weren't alive, there was no need for her to even consider anything else.

[color=hotpink]"Take care, I'll open a way through them. The faster we are done here, the faster we will be able to move to the next objective,"[/color] Nanoha warned Youmu of the incoming bombardment before turning Raising Heart into Cannon Mode, loading up a couple of cartridges and unleashing a Divine Buster, which cut a clean path through all of the opposition and whatever physical obstacles were in their way as well. [color=hotpink]"Let's keep going. We can't waste time fighting these creatures, Youmu,"[/color] she urged them forward, still uncertain of how to better touch on the matter that allowing their wits to be lost over this would help no one.
