While escaping the last attack for the sect leader was a good thing in itself, I had no way to return the same way that I moved away from the top of the stage. Just like before, the height difference between our positions would give that man too big of an advantage, meaning that I had to either turn crafty with my next turn or just rely on my brute strength and resistance while hoping it will be enough.
Yet just the single clash with this opponent of mine proved that the second option rather than being risky would just be a suicide. The same applied with any attempts to open up a new hole in the fighting ring. Even if I could do it with just one hit, by the time I could reach its other side, my enemy would already be there, waiting for me to show myself in a vulnerable position!
