Facing off against a third level Apertures Opening stage drudnid that was roughly the same as a fourth level stellar practitioner, it looked like Lucas was at a disadvantage. However, the reality wasn't so. He only suffered a loss because he didn't react in time.
Even without stellar energy, Lucas was able to operate the Stellar Circuit Battle-Armour to be able to simulate a fourth level stellar practitioner's strength. This was quite poor considering that the SCB was a Grade 4 vestige and should be capable of simulating at least a sixth level stellar practitioner, but nothing could be done about it.
At the moment, the complete Stellar Circuit Battle-Armour had been summoned and Lucas was in battle mode. But due to the earlier attacks by the drudnid, he was currently injured and had to be cautious.
