The stances that the two Martial Transcendents took reflected their seriousness. The atmosphere bore not just the weight of their power, but also an overwhelming sense of dread. Ria couldn't help but wonder if it was even safe for her to stand nearby when two Martial Transcendents were about to go at it.
The last time she saw two Transcendents fight, they had destroyed an entire star system. Even though the young Martial Sage was confident about her ability to survive, she was nowhere near arrogant enough to believe she could withstand the power of two Transcendents clashing against each other.
However, neither of her parents instructed her to leave, nor were they particularly eager to change locations in fear of collateral damage. That calmed her fraying nerves a little. That was right, she thought, there's no way Mom and Dad would fight recklessly and destroy Gaia just to have a serious battle.
