Reiji saw Droltob's determination as he landed that strike against Stasis.
Perhaps, if he was able to put more strength on his lower body, he would be able to put the man unconscious.
However, he was unable to bring out all his strength and he also stepped too forward as the sword's impact greatly diminished after breaking Stasis' sword.
Tenri, the referee of the platform, stopped the fight immediately. The fight wasn't over yet since Stasis can still fight. He just needs to get another sword to continue.
Apparently, the hit on his head is considered one point and they need a total of five points to win the match.
'Amazing… I didn't think he's hiding that much power on his arms.' Stasis is quite excited after getting hit by that strike.
He's not underestimating Droltob at all and he was just caught off guard since there was no practitioner has ever done this before. No, he didn't even think that it was possible in the first place.
