Arriving at the crater where Mira had fallen, Max looked down and saw her lying at the center, her body battered and her aura weakened. She was clearly exhausted, her strength nearly depleted after the brutal exchange.
Without hesitation, Max stepped into the crater and reached her.
Moments later, he emerged once again.
He held Mira by the neck with one hand, lifting her effortlessly as though she weighed nothing. Her body hung in the air, her movements sluggish as she struggled to gather what little strength remained.
The sight left everyone stunned.
None of them had expected the outcome to turn out this way. From the beginning, they had believed Mira would overwhelm Max, yet now it was Max who stood victorious, holding her in his grasp.
"Let go of me!" Mira shouted, forcing out her voice despite her weakened state.
