The fight could start in different ways, slow or fast, the fighters might get into a fierce clutch using all their abilities at once, or on the contrary, they could gradually build up the pace.
Sometimes, it happened not so rarely, the beginning of the fight would be a few seconds away from its end. If the difference in powers between the fighters was too great, the fight wouldn't last long, in such situations, one minute was a barrier that not many fighters passed through.
However, the fighters most often chose Fromund's option, which was to find out how strong the opponent was by some method.
Then, there was the next stage, which happened in almost any fight, regardless of whether the battle occurred in the arena or the Dead Lands.
The fighters would release their auras.
The reason for this stage was quite simple - if your opponent couldn't withstand the power of your aura and it was enough to seriously injure him, then victory was close.
