Isaac POV
Isaac continued moving through the Lost Maze, keeping an eye on Alice through his clones. Although she was still fighting Vaelthorn, he could tell that she wasn't in immediate danger, especially considering how quickly her injuries were healing. Nevertheless, watching his wife get injured repeatedly was something he could never get used to.
Of course, he could interfere whenever he wanted, and Catherine was also prepared to intervene if Alice encountered something she couldn't handle. However, doing so without a good reason would only make Alice angry. After all, she had specifically requested to fight the Ascender alone, and if Isaac stepped in before she needed his help, she would probably feel as though she had failed to prove herself.
"Don't worry, she'll be fine. She's been training quite a lot recently, and you should have a little more confidence in her," Catherine's voice sounded in his ears.
