Seeing the grievous state Astrid had got herself in, Serene quickly approached her and casted healing magic on the wounds. A lustrous mist gradually materialized around the wounds, which slowly healed them - [Soothing Mist]. Even though the effect wasn't much, it was still enough to keep her alive.
Now that Astrid had effectively been gotten rid of, the situation turned into a one against three battle. Tristan had to be more careful now, especially as he already saw the 'undefined' stats of the Forlorn Prince.
With his upgrade to stage 4 of Blood Monarch, his urge for blood had also tempted him to just unleash his power. However, Tristan knew succumbing to this urge of his would decisively spell the death of him. Therefore, he had to restrain it.
Prince Janus was about to order the elders to attack when Tristan startled him by speaking abruptly.
"Who dares to fight me first!?"
