The last time Duncan and Borden fought, it wasn't like this. Duncan, for one only had one ability, but still, his natural strength along with his beast equipment had given him the stats to allow him to have equal strength.
The two of them had traded blows with neither one getting seriously hurt. It looked like they were an even match until suddenly Borden had started to run away. The time limit was nearly up for him, and he knew fighting any longer would just be a waste.
This time was different. The extra MC cells could be used to power his speciality ability, wind. The fight was clearly one-sided, and it hadn't been long since they had started. Looking at Borden now, he was getting a similar feeling to the people he saw in the castle.
Something had clearly changed.
