They are not equal

The last thing Katrin saw was a bright flash that blinded her briefly. Then, still struggling against the light, she felt a threatening presence behind her, as if death itself came for her.

Throwing a glance over her shoulder, Katrin's black eyes went wide, reflecting fear mixed with surprise.

The snow-white blade, a dense energy ran through the Dormant Lord's raised high-up arm, transforming his palm into a long, deadly blade.

In less than a split second, Katrin's mind was filled with fragments of the Flame Raider's death, the cause of such a powerful monster's demise was an identical attack.

Katrin also remembered everything she knew about the Dormant Lord. Unlike Adam, who went on the mission following Silvana's instructions, Katrin did not spare herself and thoroughly prepared for each mission together with Alan, studying the monsters and conditions of the territories, especially such strong enemies as the Dormant Lord.
