Clara swallowed hard. "R-really? Is he that strong?"
Lucius nodded. "Of course. I only have 5 Marks. Even though my combination is good, it's barely a third of what he has. And his combination is in no way inferior to mine. I'm still a Rank E, after all. He's almost a Rank B."
Such a huge gap couldn't be bridged by skill alone. Because, even though he has a skill (and a very good one at that), Darius has one too, and it's pretty good.
The fact that he stands a chance of winning already speaks volumes about his skill, since his hand-to-hand combat skills are far inferior to those of Darius, who is a natural-born martial artist with magic that enhances his abilities.
However, for Clara, who had seen Lucius accomplish the impossible many times, this was a blow that was hard to take.
Could the man who, as an F-Rank, was able to shatter the Obsidian Gorilla with a single punch really lose in a head-to-head fight against Darius?
She trembled.
