Northern stood for a second, reflecting on the journey and all the opponents he had ever faced.
Of them all, Koll was the strongest, except for the special cases of the Kirithon and the Destroyer in the Sleeping Mountains.
But Koll's first form was a pure menace; Northern didn't think it would be possible to actually defeat him. Thanks to Night Terror, that impossibility was made possible.
He had met several other opponents that made him feel like he wouldn't win, and one way or another, regardless of the ranks, he was still standing here.
But today, something other than fear sank into his head as he thought about his past battles.
Looking at the Emperor now, Northern realized that despite fighting with Gengar, the Emperor had no weapon.
There was no scratch on the Emperor's body; his skin was almost glowing. He didn't even look like he had exerted himself.
