In the canyon, Solomon and Soss had ramped up their momentum inch by inch to its peak, with explosive power ready to burst. The Shadow Hunters on the cliff had not been wrong—Claire was the weakest of the three. The Lion King Soss was already formidable in strength, and though the loss of his arm affected the dexterity of his left hand, the subsequent overconsumption of Holy Spring water made his strength not diminish but increase instead. His physique-based Source Energy, combined with the Mad Lion Fist, was perfect synergy.
Then there was Thorn Solomon, who had obtained the Sinful Thorn secret techniques funded by the Door Organization. These effectively raised his strength's upper limit and compensated for his frail body to some extent. If they really came to blows, both Thorn Solomon and Lion King Soss were clearly at the pinnacle of the Dark Gold Level.
They were just a half step away from the position of the Shadow Hunters.
