My past suddenly came to mind. Am I going to die now?

"Hmm...?"
My consciousness returned. The distinctive oily smell of the Weaverpool territory stung my nose.
I only heard the Goddess calling out urgently. I stood up again.
But I was already standing.
"Huh? Why am I...?"
The Goddess bombarded me with questions as if she had been waiting. She must have been very worried. I felt unnecessarily sorry.
"I think I fainted for a moment."
I glared straight ahead. Lao raised an eyebrow, provoking me.
"You're holding up pretty well, but I'll go all out! Heheheh!"
Ziiing, shiiiiiing!
Lao fired an endless barrage of incredibly powerful beams.
I held my breath and charged. I ran straight ahead, closing the distance. Just as I was about to draw my sword, guards intervened between me and Lao.
"Protect the Lord!"
"Protect him!"
Damn it.
I couldn't kill innocent people. If I tried to go around, a beam would inevitably fly at me.
Shiiiiing, kyaaaang!
