Novius was amazed to think that Gabriel had made such an elaborate plan. Not only had Gabriel brought him exactly where he needed, but he did all that while keeping everything hidden, causing a distraction by throwing a faint.
Strangely enough, for the first time, he got the wrong idea about it. It wasn't what Gabriel had planned, at least not initially. He really hadn't thought of such an elaborate trick since it needed the help of great luck.
Not only did Novius have to be at the exact place, but he also needed to move in a completely identical pattern for this trick to work.
It was only after Gabriel used the Night of Darkness that he thought of this possibility. It was clear that Novius couldn't see anything under his effect, but he could still fight back, even without seeing. He had incredible senses as well, which made Gabriel smile wryly.
