As the Great One's descendant watched in horror how every Transcendent he sent out to battle got cut down by us, he had long stopped responding to me and just glared in my direction. If looks could kill, I was already killed by him many times over.
Unfortunately, that's not going to happen.
One life and death situation was enough for me to meticulously fix my way of dealing with things.
Before something unexpected happens, I will have us retreat if the enemies are overwhelmingly strong or I will have us cleanly cut down the enemies when they're all at the same level as us.
If the same thing happened like in that isolated space where we have no choice but to fight and there's no place to run to, then that's the only time when we will have to go all out to fight for our survival.
