Everybody was surprised when they looked up and saw a human picking up the Void Ring, which was radiating a dark purple light.
Yavet and his followers were the most shocked as they didn't expect a Regular to beat Dark Phoenix to get the ring first. They knew Dark Phoenix couldn't use his abilities, but it just wasn't something they saw coming, especially her intervention.
Before she got the ring, Taya's heart was thumping against her chest in fear that she may not make it in time and let down Viktor.
But when she finally got her hands on this mystical ring, she was glad that she was finally able to be of help to Viktor and not let him down when he needed her help.
Dark Phoenix had only finished climbing as he stood on the knee of the giant statue. He raised his finger at her and said in a deep, cold tone, "Give that ring to me, and I will consider letting you go."
