Rein had certainly considered transforming into the Second Stage Dragon-man General Form to confront his enemy.
But the issue was that, although the absolute strength and defense would increase dramatically after transformation, the movement speed wouldn't improve significantly.
Moreover, due to the sheer size, quick maneuvers within a small area would be less agile compared to his human form.
This was a common problem after enlarging one's form.
However, the opposing Lambert was exceptionally fast, and his sword speed was unparalleled—he was a top-level Sword Master who was extremely adept at exploiting his opponent's weaknesses.
Therefore, in such circumstances, choosing to transform in order to fight Lambert would be unwise.
He might very well be caught by Lambert's attacks.
Of course, this didn't mean Rein was completely unable to use transformation against his adversaries.
