The question was whether they would make it in time.

"Argh!" Senior Xanarn collapsed, drenched in blood.

Her balance was unstable, she seemed to be struggling to breathe.

Her bronze skin has taken on a sickly skin tone.

And yet… She did not give up.

She struggled back onto her feet, quivering as she took her stance.

Yet the battle was all but over.

She knew it.

Her four enemies knew it.

Rui and Kane knew it.

And yet…

The moment came sooner than Rui expected.

It happened abruptly.

The skin of the four Martial Seniors returned to normal. 

They were all extremely tired and strained, fighting Senior Xanarn on Ajanta Island was truly a herculean task.

Their Martial Hearts had already run out of juice, but that was fine, they no longer needed it against Senior Xanarn in her current condition. Even a Martial Squire could probably kill her in her current condition.
