Every second felt precious.
The audience watched the battle in complete silence, their attention fixed on the two figures moving across the stage.
Gabriel continued holding on.
He endured attack after attack, refusing to collapse even when blood stained the corner of her lips.
Finally, the five minutes came to an end.
The moment Calix's temporary enhancement disappeared, the overwhelming pressure surrounding his body vanished.
Gabriel seized the opportunity.
His final attack struck Calix directly, forcing him backward.
The referee immediately announced the result. "Gabriel is the victor!"
The entire venue erupted into cheers. Even Lana was stunned.
She had never expected Gabriel to be this strong.
'He actually managed to hold on until Calix's five-minute enhancement ended.'
Lana's gaze remained fixed on Gabriel as the latter stood on the stage, breathing heavily but refusing to show weakness.
Finally, it was Danny and Lana's turn.
