Telmus might seem to be at the edge of defeat, but he could not understand that this brought no relief to Primordial Demon, for the demon knew the potential of Telmus and understood that time was this warrior's greatest advantage.
Telmus needed to be immediately crushed, else all the demon's advantage was gone. However, with its center shattered, the ability for Primordial Demon to push essence into the Ancestors of Trion had diminished, and Xylos, the Primordial Demon, instantly understood that his chance for winning had just turned to zero.
Telmus seemed on the edge of defeat. It was as if, at any moment, he would be swept away by the barrage of seven opponents whose powers had reached the level of Primordials.
Yet the Primordials saw far, and they could see the rising momentum in the heart of the warrior, as it seemed he had finally found his footing. What accelerated this process was the move that Rowan had made, which more than ensured that Telmus would win.
