Beast-binding Ascendant: The Undercover Lord Apex - Episode 10

Sylva is seized by Ichro Saton's Duskvine during a live match, while opponents order Rokkar to attack the vines. Sylva's teammates scramble as a twenty-second clock forces a brutal choice: forfeit their ranking spot or risk their beast. Under pressure, teammates announce, "We forfeit," despite Sylva's protests and one shout, "We Drakons will never surrender!" Time runs out; the director commands Yelo, a phoenix, to intervene. Yelo's flames can't break the Duskvine—"That's impossible!"—leaving the vine intact and the team's beast threatened as the episode cuts to the unresolved standoff.
