After only a few seconds, he was reduced to a pitiful state and looked quite wretched. Nonetheless, If it was just that, Morgress wouldn't have such an ugly face, the thing that was eating him up alive was the cracks that had appeared on his mana armour after every successive attacks from his opponent.
The skill that he was most proud of and was his magnum opus was being broken in front of his own eyes by the demon. The despair that he felt at this moment was on a whole different level.
