After defeating Carion, the entire combat room went quiet. They didn't expect this. If he was going to lose, he should have at least put up a better fight, at least.
This was entirely one-sided, he didn't even stand a chance against Riven. If Carion had met with Rigeb right before he fought the golem, he would have been able to give Riven a hard time.
But after the golem, Riven's strength didn't just increase, but so did his battle sense and sword mastery. He was almost twice as strong now.
Riven walked to Carion. He looked down at him, then grabbed his neck, shaking him out of his stupor.
Carion looked up, his gaze fuzzy, but he could tell who was standing in front of him. And as his gaze cleared up and he laid eyes on the sinister smile that hung on Riven's face, he understood that his entire life was officially over.
"You are my dog now," Riven said, looking right into his eyes to drive the point. He pulled Carion up and threw him so hard he slammed into the wall.
