This put Galvin in a dilemma.
If he destroyed Roxian's shield, it would mean he violated the advertising law—he had claimed that the wave barrier could withstand spells from a caster one level higher than himself.
At that time, the Institute of Truth's Advertising Monitoring Bureau would not let him go, nor would the Spell Inspection Department.
And those companies that had bought the patent would surround him like hyenas, tearing at his flesh.
But if he failed to break the opponent's shield, he was destined not to win.
Thus, in a duel that should have required his full attention, Galvin was severely distracted, as if two little people were fighting in his head, ultimately allowing Roxian to seize the opportunity to defeat him in one fell swoop.
Most fatally, afterward, Roxian greatly promoted the fact that he was actually using a "Liquid Shield" and made a hefty profit by hyping up the gimmick of an "over-level victory."
