Beaten
In a small, cobbled arena with dim lighting, Michael faced Alice head-on. Alice wore a set of simple combat clothing. It was dark and highlighted her shape and curves perfectly. However, Michael had no time to stare at her mesmerizing figure. He was too concerned about the deadly weapon that rested in her hands. It was Alice's Wintertusk Saber, a Tier-5 Artifact – a thin saber – embedded with a sapphire gemstone in the handle.
The sapphire gemstone decreased the consumption of ice elemental spells and increased the compatibility of ice spells cast on the Wintertusk Saber.
Michael, on the other hand, wore the Spirit Armor Set, and the Legendary Ring Artifact while wielding Aethyr. He stepped through the arena trying to locate a flaw in Alice's regular stance. However, there was none. It was almost like Alice was ready to face her enemies at all times.
