By the time the first sun rose into the sky, Oli was lying unconscious on the floor. He wasn't allowed to sleep that night. But he was allowed to get knocked out.
Vloz was lying down only a few krin away, still awake. The leopard was lightly laughing while marveling over Oli's new drake form.
Their night of training went exactly as Oli had expected. Vloz only attacked and defended with essence as strong as a peak-elder. However, that didn't magically make it possible for Oli to fight a huge, invisible leopard. Oli still struggled, at best, to defend himself or evade Vloz entirely.
In the end, Oli was starting to emit his dark-death essence in a way similar to Kraz, making it more threatening for anyone to get too close to him.
