"Thirty minutes remaining," announced the Divine Paragon after Yuan spent half his allotted time on the third floor.
"Haaa... haaa..." Yuan panted heavily, drenched in sweat. For the first time, he encountered an opponent who contended with him so perfectly. Whatever strategy he employed, the Demon General seemed to have a counter.
It was during this intense struggle that Feng Yuxiang's voice echoed, "Young Master, do you require assistance?"
"Huh?" Yuan responded, slightly startled as he continued to parry the Demon General's relentless offenses. He had been so engrossed in the battle that he had completely forgotten her presence.
"What do you mean by assistance?"
"Well, as your servant, if you desire it, I can aid you in confronting this demon. Naturally, I won't be able to vanquish it on your behalf, as that is beyond my abilities, but I can certainly stall it for you."
"Is that even allowed? Wouldn't that be considered cheating?" Yuan inquired.
