A Surprising First Half

[!]

[!]

With their opponent locked on to the Root Maiden's shield, the two disciple zakos got ready to finish this fight in a most spectacular manner.

The finisher they had in mind was simple yet brutal.

The Root Maiden was going to swing her shield outward, which had Lin Fang ensnared, towards the Copper Oni. Meanwhile the Copper Oni was going to just punch the shield as hard as it could.

In essence, Lin Fang was about to get squashed.

However, just before they had a chance to pull off this obviously devastating move, Lin Fang said the one sentence that caused the two of them to literally stop mid-swing.

"I surrender!"

[?!]

[?!]

'Oh. Cool.'

Needless to say, the zakos were a bit disappointed that they weren't able to pull off their finishing move.

As the two zakos landed back on the ground, Zhen Liu could detect small waves of irritation radiating coming through his connection with them.
