“Don’t charge the Arc Crystal?” Kaier asked, frowning at Rudina’s suggestion.
“Yeah,” Rudina replied. “We just need it for the battle at Diane, right?”
Once the battle at Diane was done, the Gate Incident would be resolved. Rudina was proposing leaving the Arc Crystal as it was and using it only once.
“But we need to keep using it during the battle,” Kaier pointed out. In every battle, he would continuously charge the Arc Crystal during combat while Rudina drew out its mana.
“You collapsed last time,” Rudina reminded him gently.
Kaier fell silent, aware of how poor his physical condition had become.
Even though just one battle remained, it was unclear if Kaier would remain safe if they used the Arc Crystal the same way as before.

But was it really okay to do so?
Before Kaier could respond, Rudina dropped to her knees in front of him.
“Please,” she implored, gazing up at him with earnest eyes. “Don’t push yourself anymore.”
Kaier remained silent, absorbing her words.
“I’ve been too hard on you,” Rudina admitted, her voice tinged with regret. “I was wrong. I didn’t understand anything. I only thought...
