When Brunos fell, when Lania approached him still holding fire balls in her hands and her illusions surrounding him, his mind raced in search of what to do. It was obvious that the situation seemed hopeless. But, that was not his first time experiencing a hopeless situation.
Thus, he initiated a conversation so he could buy himself at least a second to think of a plan. Not long after, a crazy idea slipped into his mind. To use his ability to create light within his palms to blind her.
He didn't waste his time. When she kicked him, he managed to hide his hands behind his back. There, he put them together and talked to her while producing as much light as he could.
