Adjusting

"Is he toying with her?" Mathias asked all of a sudden, looking at the spar ahead of him. 

It felt a bit weird for Mathias to see Nial fighting like this because his friend never really bothered about defending.

Since the start of the spar, more than ten minutes had passed, and Nial was still blocking Sabrina's attack instead of landing one himself.

He was pushed back occasionally before he turned in another direction whenever they were about to reach the border of the arena.

Sabrina was fighting with all her might trying to land a hit but that seemed to be impossible.

The only issue Nial had to overcome seemed to be the fact that the shaft of the Dragonflame spear was not able to endure many more hits.

The thin shaft showed thin cobweb-like cracks that spread through the areas of the shaft that had been hit by her the most.
