The next phase of the battle would determine not only who would win this confrontation, but whether Ren would maintain enough control over the black marks to remain himself.
And by asking his friends to use fusion, he already showed that the future of the journey was beginning to matter less than the need to win for him. This could be interpreted as an increase in his loss of emotional control as well.
So the implication was clear and terrible. After using their maximum transformation, they would be completely exhausted, vulnerable, and defenseless.
But not everything would be lost if they managed to finish the battle quickly… it could be their only opportunity to escape before more reinforcements arrived.
In the end, they wouldn't have to fight the Giant Cat Bear either if they didn't have bad luck.
Min, Taro, and Liu exchanged glances for a fraction of a second. There was no time for debate or doubts. They had come too far to give up now.
"Understood!" they shouted in unison.
