Even with the immense strength that he possessed, the man appeared to be at a loss. No one from this ship went out to help the man either, making it unclear if this was what the man asked or if he actually didn't have any guards with him.
Was he that confident when leaving his home that he didn't bring any powerful guards with him? Or had he overestimated the family of the young man? Karyk was not certain.
The only thing he knew was that the man needed to win. If he lost, then the entire ship was either going to be destroyed or taken by the Angels, which was a problematic proposition in itself.
The only way to remove the number advantage that the Angels had was for someone to help the young man in keeping the second angel busy until he dealt with the first.
