This was it.
This was the moment of truth—the decisive point that would determine his victory in making Serah his woman.
Gerard could feel it in his very soul.
"I've gotten much stronger than before. I'm sure we'll be able to take him down if we work together."
Despite his reassurance, Serah seemed to have a doubtful look on her face. Maria had a similar expression, but Gerard didn't care about her, so he didn't pay it any heed.
"Magic doesn't work on him." Serah objected.
"That's perfect. I mostly utilize Martial Arts."
"He might be too much for us to handle." She added
"If that's the case, then I doubt he'll allow us to seek out reinforcements."
It didn't matter the excuse she threw at him, Gerard countered it with an equally, if not more, reasonable response.
In the end, both Serah and Maria had to admit that he was spot on.
