Absolute defeat... That was the outcome of Gabriel's first battle with the Goddess of Nature. In fact, he couldn't even last for more than a few seconds, even after using everything he had learned from Cylix and Novius.
Even though the Goddess of Nature didn't look like this, her strength was absolutely something that Gabriel couldn't resist. She was truly a powerful god.
Even though he already knew about that woman's strength thanks to the memories of Karyk where he forgot her in the past, that didn't help him since Karyk had used his element of death to fight her, and even then it took quite some time for him to end the battle.
Even though the first battle showed him the immense gap in their current strengths, it also helped Gabriel learn more about himself. He realized that his body's defense was quite high. It was as if there was an Armor around him that reduced the damages of all the attacks that were targeted towards him.
