As the battle with Saturio heated up, both Zac and Curtis kept going on the offensive against the barbarian, who seemed to be enjoying himself in the chaos.
Still, any time that Zac or Curtis made a mistake, Saturio was sure to punish them and correct their techniques.
When Saturio fought against Curtis in the south, their battle went in a similar way. Truthfully, Curtis would have gotten killed if he encountered any other Death Knight, but Saturio seemed more focused on finding his perfect match.
So, instead of killing Curtis at the end of their fight, he let him live with the hope that the fire mage would become stronger and challenge him again.
Now that both Zac and Curtis were fighting the barbarian, it felt as if they were being trained by him—it was a tough and cruel training, but they were definitely getting stronger the more they fought.
