Damien knew that he was going to dominate. The odds were tipped too far in his favor, so there was no chance of the Dark God winning in this stage of their fight.
Still, it was going better than he ever expected.
See, when he knew that he was going to lose, he was quick to accept it. Within no more than fifty moves, they had already switched into this battle. Playing the long game meant moving on when it was necessary. Damien wasn't so prideful as to deny it.
However, the Dark God was different. He did not want to admit defeat no matter what kind of situation he was in. He refused to learn from Damien, but he was trying to improve mid-battle and surpass him.
'Hmm…'
As he was now in possession of the battle's momentum, Damien's own thoughts were given time to run wild.
