"We're getting closer." As Pannis' toes lightly touched the ice, an Aggression Burst surged within him, greatly increasing his jumping and pushing power. Each step covered a few meters, his speed resembling that of the wind. Aske kept close to him, almost running shoulder to shoulder. After a few rounds of alternating chases, Aske had fully regained his strength, thus, they no longer needed to take turns but acted together. As he took another step, Pannis turned to the Sand People assassin and said, "At this speed, we should catch up today."
It was now the morning of the third day. The two had jointly been chasing for almost two full days, successfully closing the gap. It seemed that the moribund they were pursuing noticed them trailing behind, thus quickening their speed. However, this acceleration could only slightly delay the chase, as it didn't significantly alter the situation.
