Whoosh!
With [Flash of the Azure Dragon] active, it went without saying that Noel had a difficult time keeping track of Valyr, even with the disparity that existed between their strength.

'After all, I'm just assessing how strong Valyr is,' thought the old man to himself. 'There's no reason to turn this into a fight to the death.'
