Reconvening with Ember, Noxtis wiped the sweat from his brow while looking warily at the two frost wolfkin. While Jack was strong, the fatigue and damage from both Ember and himself had taken their toll. Not to mention the amount of anima he must've spent since the start of the match.
Ember was about to rush forth into the fight but was held back. "Ember, we need to be careful. With how injured Jack is, they might want to go all out very soon. They aren't stupid and if they want to win this match, that would most likely be one of the best options they have left. How are you feeling? Did you get any injuries?"
Visibly calming down, Ember checked her condition thoroughly.
"Sorry Noxtis, I guess the Wildfire Dance took more out of me than I expected. While the cultivation guide said it would affect my emotions, I didn't quite think it would be so much more intense in a real fight. As for anima, I have enough for one more Wildfire dance or a few other skills.
