Gannicus had proven himself to be a dangerously cunning sorcerer, a fact revealed starkly in the aftermath of their fierce confrontation. As a bounty hunter who had made a gruesome profession out of eliminating other sorcerers, his techniques were lethal and precise, designed to exploit the weaknesses of his fellow spellcasters. This did not just make him formidable; it marked him as a relentless predator in the realm of magic duels.
August, weary yet resolute, had recognised the gravity of the situation. He had been unwilling to reveal his full strength unless absolutely necessary, yet Gannicus had forced his hand. The stakes were high; if he had not ended the battle quickly and decisively, luring Gannicus into committing to an all-out attack, he feared that stamina would become his downfall against the relentless bounty hunter.
He would have died.
