The battle between Drakina and the three Ascendants – Alfred, Erik, and Lydia – was escalating in intensity. As they engaged in combat, Alfred, always confident, yet somewhat taken aback by Drakina's strength, voiced his observation. "She wasn't this strong before," he remarked, a hint of surprise in his tone.
Erik, ever confident in his abilities, had his own theory. "She must have held back during your first encounter, Alfred. But now, facing Tier 4 Ascendants, I don't think she'll restrain herself anymore." His expression was serious, acknowledging the gravity of their situation.
Alfred, not one to easily admit concern, questioned Erik, "Then, do you have any idea how to defeat her?" His usual arrogance was tempered by the challenge they were facing.
