Drake's eyes widened in disbelief as he struggled to comprehend the reality unfolding before him.
The realization that he was losing to a seemingly inexperienced youth like Orion was a bitter pill to swallow.
A mixture of frustration and anger coursed through Drake's veins, fueling his determination to turn the tide of the battle.
He gritted his teeth, his pride wounded by the mockery and the apparent ease with which Orion had countered his attacks.
"You insolent child!" Drake roared, his voice filled with a toxic blend of rage and incredulity.
"How is it possible that I, a seasoned warrior with years of experience, am being bested by a mere kid like you?"
Orion's lips curled into a mocking smile, his eyes sparkling with a mischievous glint.
"Age and experience do not guarantee victory, Drake. Perhaps it is time for you to accept that your arrogance has blinded you to the true potential of your opponent."
