Uriel had analyzed the fight with all his attention. His conclusion?
He was screwed.
There was already a difference in level and stats right from the start. Unfortunately, he hadn't been able to see Miguel's skill; Miguel might have even used it without him noticing. There was no way for him to know.
But at least he had some information. The most dangerous thing, without a doubt, was the spear that pierced through everything; it made any kind of defense useless. However, if he could manage to get close enough, he might have a chance.
The sword would be a problem; however, Uriel had a secret weapon. His skill would allow him to fight, at least a little.
Still, victory was absolutely impossible. It wasn't defeatism—it was a fact. But that fact only held true in a fight to the death; if this was a duel under Uriel's conditions, things could change.
Althea approached Uriel and gave him a mocking smile.
