Raoha, Luaxa, and the others were confident of their victory for the simple reason that they were facing only Breydar.
Sure, Breydar had recently evolved and become stronger. He was no longer a Baron, but he wasn't exactly a particularly strong Viscount either.
Monsters who had been at the same stage for a long time were usually significantly stronger than newcomers. There were exceptions, but they were rare.
Now, Raoha, Breydar, and the bearded man - all three of them were Viscounts, but they had different levels of power. Raoha was clearly the strongest of the entire squad, followed by the bearded man, and then Breydar.
At least, that's what each of them would have been willing to bet on. But a real battle wasn't just a matter of comparing strength levels or energy reserves. It was much more complicated than that, especially when one side was on the other's territory.
