'The only one that could do that is you!!' thought Aunt Extalia and Jayna.
Combat is a very complex art. Anything could happen inside the fight. Some experts even said it is almost impossible to predict the outcome of two fighters with nearly the same combat prowess.
No one could predict how the fight would turn out. A single mistake or even a small movement could change the battle's outcome. It is not wrong to say that every move in the battle will create a new situation.
Therefore, every combatant needs at least to adapt and make countermeasures on the spot. Unfortunately, most people couldn't adjust to the sudden new situation unless they had experienced similar things.
Only monstrous people like Angus could keep calm and adapt to the battle change even if his limb gets destroyed. Although Crown Prince Eric is already over thirty years old, his combat experience is lesser than his Mer opponent.
