Perseus's breakdown
Perseus felt his blood boiling with rage when Neatwit sent him flying backwards, however, there was not much that he could do about it.
Having continuously fought AceKing and his underlings and then having made the frustrated decision to unleash a powerful tier5 sword strike to kill Rocky, Perseus had already expended a lot of his energy and was no longer near his peak potential.
While Neatwit was no different, having fought through a sea of enemies in the war, he carried himself in a way that was imposing and domineering, giving Perseus the psychological impression that his opponent was fresh while he wasn't.
To make matters worse, just as he was recovering from Neatwit's first attack, a Tower Administrator Announcement, threw him completely off his game.
"Tower Administrator Announcement : The 21st floor of the Tower Of Ascension has been successfully captured by the coalition of 'True Elites' guild and 'The Church Of Cowards'.
