Arriving at the location, I could hear the unmistakable sounds of intense combat echoing through the forest.
Clash!
Boom!
Crack!
The sounds of trees breaking, metal clashing against metal, and heavy grunting filled the air as I approached the battlefield.
It had taken me nearly fifteen minutes to reach the contested shrine. During those fifteen minutes, Emmet and Seraphina had clearly pushed themselves to their absolute limits. Both fighters were breathing heavily, their movements sluggish with exhaustion, yet they continued their relentless battle.
I found them locked in what appeared to be the final stages of their confrontation. Seraphina's body was keeping her upright despite obvious fatigue, while Emmet's endurance had allowed him to match her blow for blow throughout the extended fight.
