The combat had been reduced to three against one when Liora rescued Maria.
Luna, sensing that her companions had fallen, executed a spatial jump wider than the previous ones, reappearing at the opposite end of the arena to gain distance.
"It seems I'm at a disadvantage," she declared, her breathing labored but her posture still firm.
Larissa, Liora, and Maria surrounded her, forming a perfect triangle.
"You can surrender with honor," offered Larissa, though her tone suggested she didn't expect Luna to accept.
A defiant smile appeared on Luna's face. "And miss the opportunity to defeat three opponents at once? Never."
What followed was a display of skill and endurance that left the audience breathless.
Despite having already used considerable mana, Luna moved like a force of nature, using her cousins' shadows to jump, invoking her wolf and exchanging places to inflict some minor wounds.
