But Sarsen wasn't a rookie, either. He was not an easy opponent for anyone with his peak level-14 strength. Moreover, he was in good condition. He hadn't suffered any losses during all the exchanges. His performance was far beyond his usual standard. At least Lin Li could see that the present Sarsen was stronger than he'd been back in Shadowglen.
Nevertheless, the battle was a boring one despite their powerful strength. There was neither an interesting display of casting skills nor an intense clash at all. There wasn't even a slight thrill in the battle. All there was constant probing from both sides. The energy they spent on defense far exceeded that spent on attacks. They'd put up another Elemental Shield once the previous one disappeared, but they were holding back the Mana Retroaction, never releasing it at all.
From a level-one spell to a level-eight spell—this was the entirety of the match.
