As Irving and the werewolf leader found themselves locked in an evenly matched battle against the elder of the Night Blades, Irving's companions were also taking their respective actions.
Benjamin, Aron, and Nick were racing back to Shadow City at full speed. Meanwhile, Anna and Wendy, who were waiting in Shadow City for the others to succeed, were not idle.
Although Wendy had suffered injuries during the earlier mission, after resting for a while, she felt much better. She believed she was ready to join Anna in action.
"We can't just sit here. I think we should take this opportunity to eliminate the nearby members of the Night Blades," Wendy directly proposed to Anna.
Anna looked at Wendy and then shook her head. "You're not back to your best yet. It would be wise for us to refrain from taking any further action until you fully recover. If we encounter danger while acting, we could end up hindering Irving and the others."
