Dokot did not expect to lose so miserably. He initially thought that even if Guding's strength had improved overnight, at most it would be on par with his own. Yet, unexpectedly, Guding's Domain directly suppressed his strength to only one-tenth. He was utterly defeated within ten seconds after the real battle began. Fortunately, the two of them had chatted for a while beforehand, leading outsiders to believe they had engaged in a fierce battle. Only at this moment did he understand that there is always someone better, and challenging Marcken right from the start was indeed overestimating himself.
"I lost..." Facing Marcken's questions, Dokot candidly admitted his defeat and then turned his gaze to Guding. "Guding, I want to join your team."
