A Reluctant Victory

While Benjamin, Aron, and the others took action, Irving and the werewolf leader were locked in a fierce confrontation with the two Night Blades elders. Even by the time Benjamin and the others reached an agreement with Elder Lawrence, the battle between Irving and the two Night Blades elders had yet to yield a clear victor.

As the fight dragged on, both sides realized that their strengths were fairly evenly matched.

"I really didn't expect these two Night Blades elders to cooperate so perfectly. We simply can't break them one by one," the werewolf leader gasped, speaking to Irving.

Irving remained silent, merely nodding in resignation. He had also recognized the remarkable synergy between the two elders during the battle. However, he did not believe he had to abandon this fight.

Irving was convinced that as long as he and the werewolf leader continued to press on, they would eventually wear down the strength of the two Night Blades elders.
