There was no doubt that Thaas was a mighty opponent. His rich repository of battle experiences had allowed him to immediately identify Baiyi as a mage. That was why he had wisely avoided engaging in battles of magic. He decided to overwhelm Baiyi using his advantage in speed and strength without any fancy tricks, and he did not give Baiyi the chance to start chanting. Ruthlessness was his primary strategy in dominating the fight.

This was a very rudimentary and uncouth strategy, but it worked wonders against sorcerers. There was no other battle tactic that was better than this to prevent them from using spells.

Of course, Thaas did not get everything right. Baiyi was not just a sorcerer. Specialised Encasement Shaping Spell had made him as fast and tough as his opponent. He only looked like he was at a disadvantage because his power output was limited.
