The only one, Ortian Guild

The Crimson Crane was in trouble, no doubt. None of them had been heavily injured by the attacks they were dealing with, but they were running out of Qi, and energy in general, fast.

On top of that, one of the opponents they were going up against had just started to use items. Strong magical items, and it didn't seem like they were the only ones.

How many of the mages that they were going against held these items? They wouldn't know, and if things continued going on the way they were, then there was a good chance that they wouldn't find out.

Alba, the leader of the Crimson Crane, felt a high level of responsibility. She was the one who had made this promise with the Dark Mage; she was the one who knew the risks, and the rest had followed believing in her.

'No matter what, I have to make sure the others come out of here alive, even if I have to use every single cell of my blood energy!' She thought, gripping onto her sword.
