Capítulo 197: Shattered Pride, Restored Loyalty

Their spears clashed again, but this time Alister felt a shift in the battle. He wasn't attacking randomly now—he was reading her, predicting her movements. He could see the slight tension in her legs before she struck, the way her grip tightened before a powerful swing.

He anticipated her next move—another low sweep—and instead of dodging, he blocked it cleanly, his footwork perfect as he countered with a thrust toward her shoulder.

Mar'Garet barely had time to parry, her stance breaking for just a second as she stumbled back.

Alister's confidence surged. "I think I've got you now."

She narrowed her eyes, but there was respect in her gaze.

The tide of the battle had turned.

The pace of the battle escalated as Alister began to assert himself. He leaped forward, thrusting his spear. Mar'Garet parried, but Alister quickly redirected, following up with a sweeping arc aimed at her legs.
