As Rain continued to engage in numerous battles against the king in the shadows, a noticeable transformation occurred in the demeanor of his adversary over time. The relentless onslaught of defeats had left the once imposing king looking like a mere shadow of his former self. The initial air of arrogance and annoyance that accompanied Rain's appearance gradually dissipated, replaced by a resigned acceptance of his fate.
It reached a point where the king couldn't summon the energy to be irritated anymore when Rain made his regular appearances. The irony of the situation was almost comical – what used to be a fierce and menacing adversary had been reduced to a defeated figure, lacking the will or capacity to even try. Rain's frequent visits became a source of amusement for himself, as he seemingly treated the king as little more than an ATM sitting on a throne.
