The root restraining the Silver-Winged Leopard relied on its master's strength and defensive ability and did its best to keep a Spirit four levels stronger than it immobile as long as possible.
Meanwhile, Thal'Korr increased the pace of his attacks as he watched from the sidelines to see where this tough battle would end.
As Liam and William stood less than a meter apart, with the silence of the entire Arena watching them, cracks sounded louder and louder, until the leopard broke free from the root, destroying it finally.
Liam saw his enemy visibly lose strength at the last moment of the attack, and he himself moved his sword diagonally to cut William in the center of the man.
