The battle unfolded just as Xia Ya had predicted. Orinshiru was like a freshly unsheathed sword, but she quickly lost her edge.

She shone brightly for a few rounds, but the situation soon fell under Orivande's control.

The Elven officer was fifty years old. Although by Elven standards, he was just a teenager of fifteen or sixteen, his combat experience far exceeded his age.

He didn't understand the backstory Xia Ya mentioned, but he could see at a glance that the human before him was not in good condition and had not yet adapted to the immense power. So, with seasoned experience, he controlled the pace of the battle.
