Everyone has the same thoughts—that the red team was done for.
Almina and her two companions were clearly at their limits. On the contrary, Sherry and her three companions still looked fresh. And with the help of Overdrive and Restoration blessing, victory is almost secured.
The arena roared with tension, but the energy was unbalanced—tilted heavily in one direction.
The people in Zone 7, silence ruled. Spectators stared wide-eyed at the floating monitors, their hearts sinking. On the field, Almina's team—the Red Team—looked finished. Their bodies were battered, their breathing ragged. Mana signatures flickered weakly around them like dying embers. It was clear to anyone watching:
They had nothing left.
In contrast, the people in Zone 17 had already begun to celebrate. Cheers erupted. Flags waved. One by one, supporters pumped their fists into the air as if victory had already been claimed.
On the battlefield, Sherry and her companions stood tall—composed and unscathed.
