In a life-or-death duel, the biggest mistake is losing focus.
If there is a large difference in strength between the two opponents, it may not matter if the stronger one loses focus.
But Gormak, under Aizen's sword, dared to lose focus. That was being too overconfident.
He underestimated Aizen too much and feared Lilith too much.
He kept his guard up against the "tiger" watching him from the side but failed to realize that the opponent in front of him wasn't a sheep—it was a ferocious wolf!
In the instant when Gormak's heavy sword slashed downward, Aizen stepped forward and slightly sidestepped. His seemingly ordinary step was perfectly executed, allowing him to narrowly avoid the powerful and deadly strike.
That slash was indeed dangerous, filled with the brutal force to smash a man's head.
But, unfortunately, it missed.
Aizen could even feel the sharpness of the blade grazing past his cheek.
