"C-can I still surrender?"
That's the last thing the long-nosed Transcendent could say before he lost consciousness from being hit at the back of his head.
He put down his guard and raised his arms so… upon seeing that, Avelin immediately moved, pummeling him with her axe's blunt end.
With his escape route blocked and escape pod destroyed, it would be a miracle for him to escape.
Furthermore, he saw what happened to the Wind Elemental, despite using his life force for a swift rise in his strength, he was given no chance to utilize it and turn the situation around.
No matter what, he probably used not just a century to reach this far in his Transcendent Pathway. Even if he's ready to throw away his life for his World, the desire to live won against his reason.
That's just my speculation why he did that. In any case, apart from the Wind Elemental who fought until his death, we got another Rank 3 Transcendent captive.
