With the use of the new artifacts, all of those that were fighting had seen a big improvement from before. Even the Crimson Crane members were wearing items that helped in one way or another.
Some had pendants that allowed them to restore part of their stamina. Others had items that gave them some sort of sixth sense when an attack appeared from behind, and so on.
In the hands of the smaller clans in the Dark Faction, they seemed quite useless. What did it matter if a high-ranking initial stage warrior was to use such items?
If they were attacked by something too fast for them to react to, what did it matter if they could sense it was coming? But in the hands of these warriors, they were using it to the fullest, and it was the same for Rayna.
