To Show the Wolf Into the House

Team Everlasting's Warlock had learned his lesson from the last fight. He wouldn't face this fight with extreme caution. With a huge lead, he decided to be braver.

Stolord closed in quickly?

Of course. He hadn't put in all of his efforts to stop him. He intentionally let Stolord get near. When his opponent reached a satisfactory distance away, he immediately switched up the tempo to catch him off guard.  

As for Stolord, he was closing the distance while attacking. To the Warlock, none of that mattered. Even if you weren't attacking me to stop me from escaping, I wasn't going to push you away anyways!

Team Everlasting's Warlock closely followed Stolord. Every step forward was another step towards his ideal scenario.  

That's about right.

Finally, the distance between Stolord and Leopold had reached a value that the Warlock was satisfied with.  

At this distance, he could attack or retreat. When he cast his curses, it wouldn't be easy for his opponent to dodge.
