"Ugh!"
With a cry of pain, Hina, who had continuously evaded Zaku's attacks so many times, was finally grazed across half her body by Zaku's fist after one moment of carelessness.
A series of cracking sounds rang out. Hina rolled twice, spat blood from her mouth, and crashed to the ground. Seven or eight bones on one side of her body had been broken.
Although Zaku was not very agile, allowing Hina to evade several attacks at first, once it entered flight mode, its straight-line attack speed was anything but slow. Even if it could not turn very flexibly, its massive size made Hina helpless—even a direct collision was impossible for her to deal with. After defending for so long, she was bound to slip eventually, and Zaku finally struck her.
Lying on the ground, Hina saw that Zaku seemed ready to attack again and hurriedly raised a hand. "I surrender! I surrender!"
Upon hearing Hina's surrender, Zaku paused slightly before gradually vanishing and returning to Baby5's form. Her face was pale, she panted heavily, and her entire body was drenched in sweat.
Clearly, Baby5 had also reached her limit. If Hina had been able to hold on for a few more minutes and evade a few more of Zaku's attacks, the outcome would probably have been reversed.
"The battle lasted a total of nine minutes and twenty-seven seconds." Minos checked the time in his hand. "Baby5, you still need to train your stamina further."
Baby5 panted as she plopped down onto the ground, but after hearing Minos's words, she still forced herself to respond, "Understood, Master Minos!"
In fact, that was only because Zaku had not unleashed its full firepower. If powerful lethal weapons such as the Thermal Sword were included, Baby5 probably would have lasted only five minutes.
