The true Level 995 Duskhand.
Arthur's realization froze him in place for a moment. He couldn't beat this version of Duskhand. The weight of that truth pressed down on him, and Duskhand knew it too.
The man had been concealing his strength, deliberately restraining himself to avoid drawing the attention of the Transcendents at Plomux High Command. But now, with his power exposed, the silence between them felt as heavy as the destruction energy swirling through the battlefield.
Then, as if snapping back into focus, Arthur's energy surged, his power converging around him in an intense burst.
Energy crackled in the air as Arthur focused the power of his Law of Summoning, forming a complex circle around him. But Duskhand, realizing what was happening, wasn't about to let him finish the spell so easily.
