Suspense was thrown out the window thereafter.
The Sanctuary forces slaughtered the remaining High Elders easily and exited the Dimensional Cage, joining the others in destroying the rest of the Tephit Clan, Lunaria was soon to finish her Baptism, which would add another wave of power to the already overpowering allied force, and the number of Tephit soldiers dwindled until even calling them a resistance was no longer possible.
The only people remaining on the Tephit Clan's side who could change the results of this war were Tephit himself and the two Great Elders, however, neither side seemed to have any intention of aiding the falling clan.
Raka and Tilis stood with Ria and Maximus, taking a break from their fight. While the two elders stood unscathed, both Maximus and Ria were covered in bruises and scratches from the previous altercation.
