The second round began with Tony at full health, and the dynamic of the fight shifted irrevocably. The Shadow Werewolf, for all its speed and lethal skill, was ultimately a programmed entity. Its attack patterns, while devastating, were a repeating sequence of optimal combat algorithms. To a sword master like Tony, who thrived on dissecting and adapting to an opponent's style, a few exchanges were all it took to find the cracks in its digital armor.
The fight began to tilt in Tony's favor with every passing second. The Werewolf was a static challenge, its combat capacity a fixed variable. Tony, however, was a dynamic, evolving force. He was learning, refining, and growing stronger in real-time.
