Baler was sent sliding back three feet, then stopped in mid-air. The exploding snowflakes, each packing great weight that would have caused him to yell out had his mouth been capable of movement, had created an enclosing icy shell that froze him in place.
On the screen, a winner was projected; Aylin Khione.
Every single explosion of the snowflakes was registered as an attack, and it took a moment for all of it to be tallied into wins. After the first two registered explosions that resulted in a first win for Aylin, every subsequent three explosions were marked as wins as well.
As such, after a buffering period, it was determined that Aylin had won 11 times for a total of 32 exploding snowflakes and an earlier hit.
There were about two outliers though that had also been registered as two hits but would require a third hit to be registered as a 12th win for Aylin.
