The air felt different.
The pressure that had pressed from all directions was beginning to weaken.
It did not mean safety.
In fact, it was more dangerous.
Because now.
Everything was unstable.
Adrian Blackwood stood amidst the remnants of the energy waves.
His breathing was heavy.
His eyes remained focused.
No hesitation.
Before him, Marcus Sterling no longer looked perfect.
His smile was still there.
But not as calm as before.
"Interesting," he said softly.
Adrian took one step forward.
"This is the end of your game."
Marcus laughed softly.
"Game."
He shook his head slowly.
"This is only the middle part."
Silence fell.
Briefly.
On the other side.
Leonard Graves scanned his surroundings.
Many opponents had already fallen.
Some still stood.
He exhaled.
"It is not over yet."
His movements remained fast.
He closed the gaps.
Blocking anyone who tried to approach.
Above.
Sophia watched the screen, breathing slowly.
The numbers were starting to stabilize.
