Once Gary had left, the pressure in the room lifted with it and so did the heat. Ray was struggling to get up and decided to absorb the three advanced tier crystals he had obtained earlier.
He now had a total of 25 advanced tier points. What Ray also realised is whenever he used the crystals, it made his body feel stronger each time and felt refreshed but what that also meant was he could use it this way to heal himself.
His body started to feel like normal again and Ray was soon able to lift himself off the ground. This was the reason why Ray decided not to absorb the crystals yet, even though there was a chance he could meet Gary.
He had expected an even fight shifting in Gary's favour, then when the time was right, Ray would use an advanced tier crystal to heal himself and get slightly stronger. However, what Ray didn't expect was for Gary to complete overpower him in a matter of seconds, not even giving Ray the chance to fight back.
