Kayelin dominated close combat, using her transformed body to continuously pressure both the masked man and his Cosmic Projection. Meanwhile, Klea remained airborne, circling high above the battlefield with the Icarus Wings while launching spells, talismans, and ranged attacks alongside Kayelin's two fairy companions whenever opportunities appeared.

Five minutes passed.
Then ten.
Eventually fifteen.
Yet despite their efforts, the difference in cultivation remained overwhelming.
Klea gradually felt the strength leaving her inbody once again. The Icarus Wings no longer carried her as effortlessly as before, forcing her to expend more and more energy simply to remain airborne. Fresh blood continued dripping from her wounds despite the recovery pill, while the repeated strain on her spirit sea left her feeling increasingly exhausted.
Kayelin was not faring much better.
