Apophis retaliated. The shadows moved with eerie fluidity, avoiding the Sunfire's assaults and lashing out in unpredictable patterns.
Raven's reflexes were put to the test as he evaded and countered, his concentration unwavering.
The more troublesome part was that all the Stats of Apophis were equal to him, which made it less of an advantageous situation than it would've been because of his high level.
In the test, Raven avoided using any Weapon as he didn't want to accidentally kill the Shadow of Apophis with a weapon, thus failing the test. He had to kill the thing with only one particular skill.
Fortunately, the effects of his Items weren't restricted. His Mana recovery was extremely high, and so was his defense.
Apophis, with limited stats, wasn't able to break through the defense provided by the Robe of Sage.
