As Thal'Korr and Levi's Spirit fought with equal skill and strength, their masters engaged in a relentless, high-stakes duel.
After two dozen intense exchanges, both warriors found themselves in a state of physical decline. Their sweat-soaked clothes clung to their weary bodies, and their pallid faces reflected their exhaustion.
Liam's entire being ached with fatigue, his legs heavy from constant movement and evasive maneuvers. Even his eyes throbbed from the strain of tracking Levi's every move through his heightened senses.
The toll of the battle manifested in small, visible cuts scattered across Liam's body, particularly on his arms. Though not life-threatening, each laceration emitted a searing pain that intensified his overall misery.
