"T-this… I don't understand," Aelira muttered, looking over the youth towering above her, confusion plastered across her face.
Since the beginning of the battle, she had been on top… all signs had led to her winning. To her, it was already impressive that he had lasted that long without sustaining any major injuries.
But this was far beyond her wildest imagination! One move and all of that had been reversed. And even more so, it had just been a poke of his fingers, and instantly after she felt the energy leave her body. What had he done?
The only possible conclusion was that he had found a glaring weakness in her battle style and attack where they all converged, leaving her open.
But that was… impossible! Aelira screamed mentally, unwilling to accept it as reality. To be able to do that was a hundred times more difficult than simply defeating her in direct combat. Meaning he had just been toying with her all this while.
