Two other women, watching their companion's battle with the young man and admiring his resilience, launched a mental attack that struck the awakened with great force. Even the awakened ones of the silver rank could not resist such power and lost consciousness.
Nico and his companion were also startled by this attack, their eyes blurred for a moment, and the world around them darkened. However, they soon came to their senses, but to their horror, they discovered that their bodies had stopped obeying their commands.
After the women defeated the men, they turned their attention to women. For some unknown reason, the mental attacks of these women had no effect on the female individuals.
There were only two awakened girls on each side left on the battlefield. In each of these pairs, one had a golden rank and the other a silver rank.
