Ethan pressed the attack.

With his longer reach and incredibly fast spear tip, Ethan was able to keep the champion on the defensive. Every time the champion started an attack, Ethan would launch a fast and powerful lunge. Ethan even managed to hit the chain mail several times, but the tip just wouldn't penetrate it.

*Turn it around.* Alana said telepathically after Ethan failed the third time to penetrate the champion's chain mail.

*What?* Ethan asked.

*Your spear, turn it around.* Alana repeated. *I specifically designed the spike at the back to penetrate chainmail. Use it.*

Ethan stopped attacking for a moment to flip his spear around. As it turns out, the champion was just waiting for such an opening. The champion charged in and began to rain sword blows on Ethan almost faster than he could keep up. Ethan blocked them with his spear, and discovered that the shaft was almost impervious to cuts. The champion's sword hits barely nicked the wood.

Thank God for Alana's enchanting skills
