Out of the corner of his eye, Na kept trying to glimpse the fight taking place just beyond him. He knew Chrono was locked in a battle with Max. From what Na had seen earlier, when Max fought alongside Wolf, Chrono should have been able to best him. At least, that was the logical conclusion.
But there were always factors Na couldn't account for.
The strength Max might have gained through hardship. The possibility that he had been holding back his true ability until now.
Unfortunately for Na, both of those things were true. Max had grown stronger with every fight he survived, every hardship endured, every vow he carried. And on top of that, he had never once revealed the full extent of his power.
If Na had been able to keep his attention on the duel between Max and Chrono, he might have recognized the danger sooner and moved to intervene. But that was a luxury he did not have.
