Mykel was in the middle of the fight while at the same time protecting Elena who had been in a bad state because of his fight. But something had been bothering him, his memories were so fuzzy that sometimes he went blank in the middle of the fight. Of course, Aevia noticed his weird behavior and whatever it was, she couldn't help to feel suspicious and anxious.
"Elena, can you hold it in a little longer?" Mykel landed in front of Elena who was curled up on the ground. He hated it when he looked at Elena's condition and the fact he couldn't do anything about it.
Elena only hummed weakly because she didn't have enough strength to waste. She was hanging on a single string and depended her life on it. She was vulnerable and a single attack from Aevia would be enough to make her lose the battle of wit. She was the only key to Aevia's freedom, and that was why Mykel had to protect Elena with all his life on the line.
