Silence.
It took several seconds for the spectators to realize that the fight was over.
It had all lasted only three minutes, a ridiculously short time considering the intensity and ingenuity displayed by both fighters, now left in critical condition.
Ana Lebert remained frozen, eyes wide, mouth slightly open. She didn't know who to rush to first… or even if she could truly be of any help given the extent of the damage.
"Take a deep breath, will you?" Iris said, patting her on the shoulder.
Her face was surprisingly calm, almost smiling, as if the duel that had just unfolded before her eyes hadn't affected her in the slightest.
"Sirius can wait. Help the other guy recover his limbs first."
Ana nodded mechanically, letting herself be guided by her words. She moved toward Kritos and took care of him first.
As for Sirius, Lucy rushed to his side, doing her best… which meant, in reality, nothing particularly useful.
