The moment the fight began, the two combatants lunged for each other. Neither of them ran or tried to create some space between them.
Wielding his spear, the Permafrost Team captain parried and tested the footwork of his opponent.
The beast from Team Sardin was some kind of bobcat, wielding lightning essence. But the lightning struggled to breach the icy defenses of the Permafrost Team leader. Where ever a bolt of lightning was launched, a pillar of ice appeared to deflect it. And since the Permafrost captain was conjuring the ice from essence instead of using naturally occurring water filled with minerals and salts, it also made the ice a much poorer conductor.
With each passing second, ice spread out from the Permafrost Team leader's feet. It was only a matter of time until most of the arena was covered in ice, speeding up the Permafrost captain and slowly the bobcat.
