Mayla saw the horror on Farhan's face.
She followed his gaze only to see everyone was sprawled on the ground in a horrendous state.
It was not her first time being in a dire situation. Each gold-star mission that was assigned to their group had been horrendous, forcing them to use everything they had to achieve the mission's goals. Rescuing a high-profile figure from an army. Assassinating a person who was feared by many. Even poisoning a Demigod who was leagues above their power level.
Despite those extremely hard missions, the group survived. Thrived.
Becoming stronger and more experienced.
Of course—there were times when they were in helpless situations. Thought that they were going to die. Hard times with no light at the end of the tunnel—but none have ever been like this. It's way different against Rex.
Normally, High Millinar Lagneas wouldn't provide any kind of help—this time, he did.
Normally, the goals were fixed—this time, they were flexible.
