The Sunlight Sanctuary will ward off external evils, but it won't stop Dox from leaving.
Once Dox, free from the influence of the curse and restored to the peak of his power, even with his inspiration ability heightened to the highest point, stepped out from the Sanctuary's protection, although the sensation of complete comfort vanished, his confidence reached its zenith.
At this moment, Dox even felt he could challenge Gray Merchant.
In truth, merely "challenging" Gray Merchant is indeed possible; but the final result, win or lose, is another matter. However, with Dox's inspiration ability fully enhanced, if he genuinely were to fight Gray Merchant, there's a slim chance to win, and even if he loses, he can certainly hold out much longer than before.
After all, Gray Merchant's bloodline naturally restrains Dox—a land dragon versus a sandworm—this level of suppression can even make Dox exert less than half of his power, even if his bloodline is activated.
