Beaten 2.0

Zayn's face flushed red because he had been defeated so easily.

Right now, neither of them used a single soul particle to fight, which meant that they were fighting with their respective physical strength and combat experience.

It was only obvious that he was worse than Merlin in every aspect, but that was the last thing Zayn could think about right now. He wouldn't use petty excuses to make himself feel better. That would make him oblivious to the bitter truth and it would make things harder when it came to adapting to his opponent's fighting style and overcoming the hurdles ahead.

He had to learn a lot, and he understood that very well!

Zayn got up from the ground while eyeing Merlin carefully. The One-armed Adventurer had retreated to give Zayn some space.
