The tyrant of the North looked around the entire battlefield, scouting out the place and trying to get a read on where the Master of the West could possibly be. Originally, he had intended on hiding in the cover of his illusions then getting to the location of the master undisturbed, but the West was better than he anticipated.

Fortunately, that creature’s skill didn’t work on him, allowing him to create the image of overwhelming presence and ending it in one blow.
