The transformation in Aziel's fighting style was remarkable to witness. Arthur found himself leaning forward unconsciously, his previous despair giving way to cautious hope. The wild, desperate attacks of the fight's opening had crystallized into something far more dangerous—calculated aggression backed by rapidly evolving tactical awareness.
Aziel's spear moved in controlled arcs now, each thrust and parry designed not just to attack but to position his growing network of electrical energy. Lightning crackled between his movements in deliberate patterns, creating zones of interference that forced Grey to approach from increasingly limited angles. The Pathfinder's casual dominance was being challenged by pure adaptability, and Arthur could see the shift in Grey's posture as he began to take his opponent more seriously.
