Pathetic

"What was this last move? You didn't use any means of teleportation but your speed was suddenly faster than mine!" Elya Necandril was a little surprised if he was, to be honest.

He didn't expect Nial to have another trump card at his disposal, such a powerful one at that. 

Nial shouldn't have been able to release more power, but he did, all of a sudden at that. His current state was not that great because he seemed to have used too much power within a short time.

Elya Necandril, on the other hand, was still fine. He sweated a bit but he could keep fighting for a few days, or even weeks. That was not a problem.

The battle only ended in a tie because Nial's sudden burst of strength caught him off-guard.

However, Elya Necandril was not so petty as to say that out loud. In a real battle he would have died due to his negligence, no matter what would have happened to Nial in return.
