"Are you alright?!" Her partner's voice filled with concern, he moved closer to her and gently supported her, helping her sit up in his arms. She was completely drained, on the verge of fainting if they didn't stop fighting soon.
Thankfully, Damien hadn't caused any visible harm, but his strikes had weakened her, leaving her powerless.
"I am sorry, let's end this." Apologetically, the male warrior spoke up, realizing the mistake they had made. He stood up, ready to surrender, but his leg was held back by the female warrior, who seemed eager to convey something.
Bending down to her level, he listened as she whispered, "We can't," before fainting.
"Lucy!" he called out her name, but she had already lost consciousness.
"The duel ends here for today, with no clear winner," Damien declared, observing the situation, and left the mountain.
"Hey, please take her to the pack hospital," one of the male warriors who still had some strength left stepped forward.
