Every time Adam fought a serious opponent, one whose defeat would make him stronger, he knew it.
However, from the moment his battle against Anelez began, he lacked that feeling. He expected everything to change when Anelez used the Solar Form, but... that didn't happen.
Sure, Anelez became much stronger after she used her trump card, but as soon as she realized that she couldn't do anything against Adam's Nexus, all the intrigue of their fight disappeared quite quickly.
Anelez bet on her superior physical power and flames, but against Adam's Nexus, it wasn't enough.
Her trump card couldn't even make Adam flinch, so the outcome of their fight became obvious to everyone.
Helasa smiled slyly, realizing that Adam would win very soon, even if Anelez continued to resist for a while. Xander remained silent, as always.
