The Night King, however, attempted to retreat, but Jon followed closely and continued striking hard at his opponent, who lifted his left hand to intercept most of the blows. The black armour covering the icy limb began to crack, but, much to Jon's annoyance, ice had quickly begun to take shape in the right hand of his foe. Two seconds later, another crystalline blade formed in his foe's grasp and the duel continued, making Jon snort; of course things wouldn't be so simple.
