Batar, Narha, and Kelya were nearing the end of their battle.
They had been fighting for some time, and very soon only one of them would remain standing. This would be the outcome of their battle and would also determine which of them would be sent to the Grim Court.
Nothing could stop this because Kelya had already eliminated all the other candidates. Additionally, many unranked monsters decided to withdraw from the Grim Court when they learned that Kelya would be participating.
It was the right decision, since she, Batar, and Narha were significantly stronger. Only the three of them had a realistic chance of defeating Adam Vinter and putting up a worthy fight at the Grim Court.
Well, if Kaerno hadn't intervened, that's exactly how things would have played out.
Unfortunately for the three of them, another contender for the Grim Court appeared in the Hollow Lands, and it was the worst thing that could have happened to them.
