The battle was at a stalemate.
The first Queen was unable to damage Shiba using her fast spells, and Shiba was unable to harm her with his arrows.
She couldn't fly, so she couldn't even try to fight Shiba in close combat while Shiba wouldn't dare to go close combat.
If Shiba risked going close combat, he felt that it was possible to win, but it was also possible to lose.
He was extremely fast, but his opponent wasn't called the first Queen of Rank 3 without reason. Being fast wouldn't guarantee anything.
Shiba was confident in his endurance, so he didn't have any haste to quickly reach the battle's climax.
Of course, he could easily win with the Annihilating Tornado. He could dodge all the attacks while preparing an Annihilating Tornado, so there was no way for the first Queen to stop him.
However, he had already decided against using Annihilation Tornado, even if that meant losing the competition.
