[Third Person POV],
When Ace and the earth mage saw the familiar figures of the men who had been left outside before entering the den ahead in the distance, they quickened their speed to catch up with the three ahead of them who were also sprinting towards them.
Perhaps it was because they did not need to worry about one of their common issues because when Ace together with the earth mage and Andrew Dawn men who were left outside the den, were only a few metres apart, their bodies gave out from exhaustion and they both collapsed to the ground.
Apart from the fact that the earth mage should have long since collapsed after taking the berserk pill and was only still holding out because the earth mage will of wanting to leave the den and not hinder Ace who was carrying the king, Ace was also equally exhausted because he still had several bloody cuts on his body that were still open.
