Apology

From the outside of the combat ring, it looked like both sides were struggling to control and efficiently utilize the enormous amount of energy that was required to maintain the shape of the Glacier dragon head, and the Hellfire Werebear's fireclay.

However,  the first impression of both sides being equally strong was radically transforming as one party took an upper hand no sight anymore as time seemed to pass infinitely slowly.

Jason's victory became even more apparent when he released the divine energy inside the Glacier Dragon, enhancing the dragon breath manifolds.

At that moment, a loud crack resounded in the area, and Elder Ben knew that he had to act right now.

He had watched the entire spar intently and had known even before Jason had made a move that he would never be at a disadvantage. 

Yet, he had waited for Jason to prove this fact and was relieved to see him prove his assumptions correct.
