Emmanuel in a one–on–one fight, relied instead on their overwhelming

numbers to create a spectacle of intimidation. Their goal was to break the

spirit of Emmanuel and his companions before the battle even began. The

presence of three skilled fighters on Gwain’s side further bolstered their

confidence.

Yet Emmanuel remained unaffected, his expression calm and detached as
