"So, what now?" Sam asked.
There was nothing to be done at the moment; his earlier plan had failed spectacularly and would have left him dead if Ryuga hadn't come to his rescue.
"Kill the wraith. It has already caused enough damage—it needs to be eliminated. You will attempt your earlier plan again, and this time you will succeed because I will be here."
Sam narrowed his eyes. "I wanted to ask, where did it go?"
"Your attack wounded it heavily. As soon as I intervened, it fled. It's probably recuperating in its cave," Ryuga said, glancing in a particular direction that likely led to the wraith's hiding place.
"Let me recount our plan," Ryuga continued.
The plan they had devised was straightforward, differing little from Sam's original strategy.
This time, Ryuga would hold off the wraith with all his remaining strength, while Sam would deliver the finishing blow using his most mastered ability, aligned with his soul power.
