The referee watched the scene unfold without any reaction.
At this moment, Sarra had merely fallen into an illusion.
She hadn't been completely incapacitated, nor had Nina made any direct attacks or thrown her out of the ring.
Only when Sarra lost her combat ability entirely, or when Nina forced her out of the arena, would the referee announce the result.
For now, he simply waited silently for the outcome.
Meanwhile, Nina had vanished entirely.
A little girl being held in her mother's arms looked around, her eyes filled with confusion.
Why was she here?
Was her mother… not dead?
Sarra remembered this day vividly. It was the day her talent as a bloodline warrior was discovered.
She had been branded a disaster.
Under pressure from the villagers, they had decided she must be executed.
Her father had remained silent, while her mother had comforted her, saying everything would be alright.
