It quickly became clear that Xena was no match for Flotra and Myles combined. She rapidly fell into a disadvantage, her body accumulating a series of shocking wounds as blood began to seep from her skin.
“You brought this on yourself! Fiona’s moves became more ruthless, though she still couldn’t figure out Xena’s motives. She only felt an instinctive threat.
She was determined to ensure the 1,000 medicinal catalysts were delivered to the Heavenly Medical Pavilion that night. After all, they were specifically requested by Callum. She knew that failure would bring down Callura’s wrath upon them all Myles also pressed the attack with deadly intent, mocking Xena with a laugh. “Where is Ashten, the master you pledged yourself to, Xena? Is he just going to stand by and watch you die? It’s time to pay the ultimate price for your foolish choice!”
Xena’s body took a heavy beating with two loud impacts. She was left with half of her torso caved in from the impacts, leaving a gruesome wound that put her just a hair’s breadth away from death.
In the next breath, Myles took on a savage expression and breached Xena’s line of defense. He fanged to within inches of her, clenched his fist, and drove it directly at her brow, intending to blow her apart into a mist of blood. That palpable presence of death completely enveloped her.
Xena looked on with wide, terrified eyes, utterly unable to defend against the strike. “Is this the end for me?”
Xena felt a profound sense of terror rise inside her at that moment.
Just when Xena believed death was inevitable, a black light barrier suddenly materialized in front of her, stretching across like layered mountain peaks and effortlessly stopping Myles’ punch.
Myles’ fist cracked open with blood spraying out as he was flung backward, his expression filled with horrified disbelief.
In a flash, streams of warm energy enveloped Xena, swiftly stopping her injuries. She looked at the towering figure ahead, her anxious heart finally settling as she realized that Ashton hadn’t abandoned her.
“I’m sorry for the delay. I took a bit of time setting up a barrier,” Ashton explained.
Xena was momentarily stunned as she released her spiritual consciousness, only to find that the cruise ship’s secret realm had changed and was now completely shrouded within Ashton’s domain.
Fiona and Myles had also detected the change, their eyes blazing with suppressed rage as they glared at Ashton.

“These are the people the Heavenly Medical Pavilion demands, Ashton! Do you want an endless blood feud with the Heavenly Medical Pavilion? You’d better think carefully about whether you can pay such a price!” Myles barked.
Fiona doubled down on the threat. “You ought to know that Governor Laurent and Mr. McGrath will be here any second, Ashton! They are both experts from the semi-otherworldly realm!
“You’ve walked right into a death trap the moment the barrier here has already been activated! You’d better give yourself up this instant. Otherwise, you won’t even have a corpse left to bury!”
“You’re both already dead men, yet you still dare to yap in front of me!” Ashton bellowed before glancing at Xena’s wounds.
He then chuckled softly and said, “Their lives will be the price for what they’ve done to you, Xena.”
Having said that, Ashton vanished in a flash, leaving a trail of afterimages behind as he charged straight at Fiona.
In that instant, Fiona’s pupils contracted sharply, feeling as if a bloodthirsty beast had locked onto her. She immediately erupted at maximum speed to retreat the moment she sensed danger, only to find her pace inexplicably slowing
