Everyone who watched the match was completely absorbed.
Unlike the usual fights between mages, which lacked the intensity of close clashes, the battle between Vale and Kael was pure bliss to witness.
The rhythm of their movements, the violent exchanges, and the storm of power gave the audience a mix of excitement and fear. It was a strange sensation, both soothing and chilling at the same time.
Adele sat still, her hands clasped tightly in front of her. Her eyes never left the two fighters.
'If Kael is defeated, I might have a chance,'she thought.
She knew Vale's strength well. She had seen him fight before, knew how dangerous he was, but Kael was a mystery.
He was powerful, yes, but his background and limits were unknown to her. From the way the fight had gone so far, neither seemed to hold the advantage. Both had endured, both had countered, and both had drawn the other's blood.
