Five minutes.
All he had was five minutes.
He had to stall Kaylan for five minutes. Within that time, Laura and Cedric had to do what was required of them else his life would be forfeit.
The thought of protecting his mother kept him from fleeing. It was do or die.
He couldn't back down even if he wanted to. After all, the opponent had already revealed killing intent.
Taking a deep breath, Max steeled his nerves. "Just like back at the coliseum… I have to do this."
He clenched his fist tightly while meeting Kaylan's bloodthirsty gaze head-on.
"G-i-v-e i-t."
Max smirked. "Come and take it from me."
"…"
Boom
Before Max could realize what was happening, several hair spikes came from all angles, leaving him no path of retreat.
At that moment… he seemed to be finished.
"Shit." Without thinking, he shoved the red crystal in his grasp into his mouth just as the spikes came raining down on him.
