The fight continued between Kang-Ho and the bat king at the same pace for quite some time, neither party seemed to be lacking in any aspect, so no one managed to get the upper hand. Kang-Ho was trying to play it safe and evaluate his opponent before going all out, he needed to know everything about his enemy before he went for the kill, this step was very important because you never know what opponent might do while you are in a sticky situation, so Kang-Ho needed to scope out all of the possibilities first.
Few minutes in, Kang-Ho changed his attack style from defensive to defensive-offense, unlike before where Kang-Ho was using his right hand to wield the short sword and block each and every attack that the bat king threw at him, while his left hand was supporting the right arm because of the numbness he was feeling from the first exchange they had. Now that the numbness of the arm had vanished completely Kang-Ho changed his attack patten.
