Alex knew he couldn't have won the fight. But he didn't even come close to being able to stand a chance. Without using the Blood Devil or the battle array, he simply had no method of improving the strength of his attacks to a point where a Divinity would worry.
After a short fight, he lost as well.
Since that was the last thing on their agenda, Alex took the group and left.
Battlesage wanted to find more such Divinities around the Red Heaven Realm, so he departed from the group, leaving in search of more. Meanwhile, Alex took the three women to several new places where they could fight and train.
Alex himself trained in Intent as well. And when he got the chance, he filled his Origins too.
It was all they did going forward all day, every day, with no changes to their routine whatsoever for the foreseeable future.
