Inevitably, the fight dragged on.
No side could hit the other side.
The Sweeper and Shang couldn't retreat. If they did, the Ancestral Mage would regain the use of his Spells, and they would actually die.
They also couldn't go deeper into the Eternal Maw's territory. If they entered its Spirit Sense, it would just attack them.
The only positive thing about this situation was that the Ancestral Mage was also cloaking himself with a Spell, just like Shang and the Sweeper.
However, the movement of Mana could still draw attention.
What were they supposed to do?
What could they do?
Were they doomed to fight this Ancestral Mage with foam fists until someone noticed them?
However, the Ancestral Mage also said that he had to be the one to kill them, and if he ordered the Natural Selection Company to draw back, they most likely would. After all, he was a member of the Twilight Dusk Family.
But then what?!
