Hayley continued watching the exchange unfold in the distance before something suddenly occurred to her.
She glanced at Ethan. "Why is your summon only evading?"
Ethan let out another sigh, rubbing the side of his head. "He has this rule about him. He'll never take up arms against someone he considers innocent… or anyone he doesn't sense evil from."
Hayley's eyes widened slightly.
"Yup," Ethan nodded. "Even as his summoner, I can't command him to do otherwise."
He still remembered the last time he had tried.
Rather than obey an order that violated his own code, Arthur had simply turned the blade on himself instead.
It was an infuriating character trait, and one of the summon's notable limits. Yet, ironically, it also made Arthur the perfect summon for this particular situation.
Dark Nova might have been a complete pain to deal with, but he hadn't been entirely wrong.
