“Really? Since you’re so confident, I’ll be watching closely,” Alloy replied with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes. The chance to mess with Cyrus was too good to pass up.

When Cyrus had sparred with Seth, he had been defeated by just one move. Since that day, he had lived in Seth’s shadow.

In other words, Seth had become the inner demon that Cyrus could never shake off-a haunting reminder of his limits.
