Divine Artifact!
Editor: Elkassar1
There is a saying that when you meet a bear in the forest, you don't have to run faster than the bear, you just have to run faster than your companion.
So it was with the fight between Sheyan and Legolas. Sheyan did not have to kill Legolas, he just had to survive longer than the Elf in battle. The exhausted Legolas who was eager to take his life would definitely not fight a prolonged battle with Sheyan.
The fight progressed pretty much as Sheyan had planned, except he did not expect Legolas to attack with a divine artifact for the final blow! Fortunately, Sheyan's ridiculous innate ability won out in the end.
Seeing the "backdoor" Gandalf had planted, Sheyan sneered indifferently. One would think that his inaction at the moment was because he was helpless to do anything about it, but that was not the case at all.
In the distance, Zi closed her eyes and floated into the air.
