The whale felt the firm grip of Rehvka on its neck and Ruri on its hand. At the same time, Ambry and Kisala stepped back behind it, standing very close, almost touching. They all instinctively leaned on it, while the others just tightened their weapons and looked seriously at the demoness. None of them lost their will to fight, trusting that the one guiding them would get them out of there.
Alm and Bruno noticed the dire situation they were all in. They were completely bloodied, with deep wounds all over their bodies. The blades and spatial power they had faced would be considered a true suicide in the eyes of any cultivator, given the group's current cultivation level.
Ruri hadn't had time to properly set up the spatial formation, so everything was done brutally, practically exploding in Qi to break through space. It was a desperate move, where the chances of success upon arrival were less than 50%.
