Pannis stood silently beside Victor, quietly watching as his breath grew fainter and ultimately his chest ceased to rise and fall. It was difficult for Pannis to describe what kind of feelings he should harbor for this opponent. Victor indeed lacked combat experience, but he was certainly strong. Using Time Magic, which was nearly incomprehensible to others of this era, he had elevated his combat prowess to a terrifying level. During the final clash of energy, if Pannis's own understanding of energy control had not been honed over more than a hundred years, it would have been very difficult to achieve victory. Now, even though he had won, the process had been arduous. Moreover, the desperate counterattacks of two dying enemies had caused quite some trouble for Pannis and Vivian. With Pannis's combat experience, it was almost too late to defend, almost allowing Vivian to be seriously injured as well.
