Four minutes, should be more than enough...

Kain's eyes widened as Ram stood once more, the glow of restored vitality radiating from his body. 

"What... how?!" Kain bellowed, his voice tinged with disbelief and exhaustion. "Arrgh... Damn it...You're just a Tier 3! Why do you refuse to die?"

Kain's chest heaved as he struggled to catch his breath, his tattoos now completely dim. The once-mighty lizard totem had dissolved into faint wisps of energy, leaving him drained and bewildered.

In the center of the crater, Ram's battered figure stood tall amidst the debris. His bio-armor was in tatters, most of it broken or hanging loose from the relentless onslaught he had endured. 

Deep cuts and bruises covered his body, and his breathing was ragged.

Yet, despite the huge amount of pain coursing through him, there was a faint smile on his lips as he glanced at the sky, mentally counting the minutes. 

Four minutes. Just enough time for Mai and the others to get inside the city.
