The bombardment of the Wind Gun and the burning of the Flame of the Cauldron brought a momentary silence to the chaotic battlefield. Neither Derby nor the Elite Bloodthirsters dared to make a move, and Palmer and Bologue didn't launch another attack.
Both sides maintained a delicate balance. In the ruins, Vasilina and Zefirin were the only ones still moving, each running towards their respective camps. They didn't even glance at each other or make any attempt to attack as they crossed paths.
Vasilina retreated to a safe zone, and Palmer rushed in with the wind, crashing in clumsily and rolling a few times. Zefirin's poison continued to affect Palmer, limiting him to using simple attack methods like the Wind Gun.
Upon seeing Vasilina unharmed, a slight joy flashed across Palmer's face. Before Palmer could say anything, Vasilina greeted him with a head-on embrace. Without slowing down, they collided and rolled on the ground several times before stopping.
