"So sly!"
Blanche stomped her foot angrily, feeling a bit unwilling.
Francis teased from the side,
"Senior, come on. It's not about being sly—you just slipped and couldn't hit the brakes, right?"
"You—!"
Blanche glared at him, flushed with anger, but there was nothing she could do now.
After that full-force sprint earlier, she was momentarily exhausted, unable to mount any effective pursuit.
Seeing this, Fort began to activate his sharp metal element bloodline again, preparing to chase down the escaped bounty hunter.
Alan quickly stopped him.
"Calm down. Let her go.
She's just a bounty hunter—no real threat to us."
"Besides, you've just finished a big fight.
Even though you're not injured, your mana must be heavily depleted.
Overusing mana can lead to backlash."
Alan wasn't exaggerating.
Back when he fought over the tier-diamond magic scroll in the miniature world, he had personally suffered from mana backlash.
